THE OFFICIALS, HARD LOT.

A bill making it a misdemeanor for
any person to solicit contributions of
officials has been introduced in the
Minnesota legislature. 1t is intended to
protect those holding elective offices
from the swarm of solicitors for differ
ent organizations, charitable and other
wise, that make life bTrdensome and
pocketbooks light about public offices.
1t is argued that salaries are paid for
work performed, not for the benefit of
the grafters, social and otherwise, who
hold up politely the incumbent of those
offices dependent Upon public favor and
that the social and charitable contribu-
lions of officers are an argument for a
raise in salary which would become in
effective under the proposed law.
The Minnesota bill may pass, not thru
any merit of common sense or necessity
it possesses, but because state and
county officials hope to make matters
easy for themselves. There is really no
good reason why an official should ask
to be protected against himself more
than a capitalist or a business man. 1t
Is to be taken for granted that these
officials will wish to contribute to
worthy objects so far as their inclina-
.tions and their means permit and that
each is gifted with enough horse sense
and judgment to remain master of his
own purse. This being the case it is
hard to see why he should beshedged in
by a law designed to protect fools
against themselves. If he is sufficiently
weak to beggar himself at the behest of
grafters in the hope to retain his office.
the sooner he is out of the public serv-
ice the better for himself and the pub
lie.
Public officers. except possibly those
holding appointive places, have them
selves to blame for the continual teas
ing of which they complain. Candi-
oates assume a liberality ar in excess
of the depth Of either their purses or
their dispositions. They pose as phi-
.lanthropists during their campaigns and
must stand to the reputation they were
at such pains to acquire o. suffer the
consequences. Despite the storm of
protest against charitable blackmaii and
hold-ups of public officials the crop of
candidates for these offices does not de-
crease. II is only reasonable then to
suppose that the burden is being mag
nified and that office holding pays the
incumbent more than he could earn as
a private citizen. Few elective officers
are underpaid. The average man elected
to Office draws a larger salary from the
State and county than he could demand
and secure in private employment. The
careful, economical and business-like
office holder goes out with more than
he came in with. In most instances he
earns what he gets and gets all that he
earns. There is no occasion to protect
him by law against charitable or social
demands. If the position is not to his
taste the difficulty of getting out of
Office is confessedly less han that of
getting in.

WANT LABOR LAWS REPEALED.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 27.-
The Employers Association, with
a membership of nearly 5000, in
cluding most of the business men
in Kansas City, has started a
movement to repeal all city laws
that discriminate between union
and independent labor.
Among the laws that will be
attacked are several that favor the
product of union labor exclusive
ly, the most obnoxious to the
Employers Association being that
which forbids the letting by the
city of printing contracts to any
but unionized shops.
1t also will oppose the eight
hour law now enforced by the city
administration, as we'll as the
ordinance requiring an applicant
for engineers license to be eX-
amined by board composed en-
tirely of union men.

the bridges in this city across the Mis-

Hardly year has passed since the
bridges were erected that two or more
persons have not taken this means to

the number of persons who have at
tempted successfully or unsuccessfully
to end their lives by jumping into the

The selection of the high bridge in
preference to the others is doubtless
explained to some extent by the fact
that it is much higher than the others,
