Decided Against scalpers.

The Circuit Court of Missouri
recently decided that railroad ti-
ckets sold at reduced rates were
not transferable, and the St. Louis
Republic, in strong leading edi-
torial commended the decision,
among other things saying
I'm the past numerous abuses
have arisen out of this vicious
practice. Thousands OF persons
have been induced to break valid
contracts and sell to the innocent
travelling public a void and value
less railroad ticket. Thousands
also of purchasers of cheap tickets
have been deceived into the notion
that there was no wrong in falsely
impersonating the original pur-
chaser. and so the traffic has been
kept up, the brokers buying cheap
and selling high. the travelling
public being led into all sorts Of
deception and subterfuge, and
many being abruptly elected from
trains when the deception was
discovered.
1T is the people in the country
who most suffer, unless the rapa-
city of the ticket broker be curbed
by wholesome legislation, such as
this bill offers. The railroads will
not make popular special rates un-
less they are protected as in other
States. Nobody can blame chem.
The way to insure liberal rates is
to regulate to contract obligations
Of both the railroads and the pur-
chasers of tickets.

unseemly alliance. The Record sig
nalized itself in the last campaign
by not merely failing to support
every candidate for a county office
on the republican ticket, but openly
advocated the opposing candidates.
The present proprietor of that sheet
has not been in the editorial harness
long enough to participate in politi-
cal campaign. The success of the
plot was celebrated on the streets of
jackson the same afternoon over the
convivial glass and the congratula-
tory handshake, but republicans were
conspicuous by their absence from
the jolifcation.
The Ledger has been the unfalter-
ing advocate of republican principles
and policies from the days of Lin
coin until now. 1t will continue to
support them, not because such Il
course has been profitable, but be-
cause it is right Ten thousand in
stances of political ingratitude would
not cause us to veer one iOta from
the path which we believe to be
right. We look for nought else than
misrepresentation and abuse from
political opponents. But we did not
expect to be wounded and belittled
in the house of our friends. We eX-
tend our congratulations to the su-
pervisors-regardless of their party
affiliations-for their latest achieve
ment in unwittingly Growing sore
headism and personal spleen as the
moving springs of political action.

AT SEA AS USUAL.

Judging by what is heard on the
streets and what is published, the Led
ger editor. who poses as the leader of
republicans, but who is in reality so
politically blind that he cannot with
safety lead himself will endeavor to de-
feat the aims and objects of the new
salary law as pertains to this county.
AS it will be up to the supervisors,
people are wondering whether the
would-be dictator can control that BODY.
The Echo says no.-Ione Echo.
The above serves to show how
hopelessly the literary genius of the
Athens of Amador county founders
in misstatements whenever he ven
lures to strain his intellect by writ
ing an editorial of a couple of SEN
tences in length. In trying the
smart act he airs his own ignorance,
on subject which he is expected to
be posted. A man who misleads his
readers, when the means of correct
information is within. his reach, is
nothing more than perverter of

DRYTOWN.

Another one of Drytown's Oldest set
tiers was laid to rest in the cemetery
here on the Sd inst. Henry Creglow,
who was born in Maryland Jan. 14th,
in the year 1925, moved to Gettysburg,
Penn, when quite small, and resided
there until 1915, then moved to Shells
burg, Wis. In the spring of 1850, with
three other men (who have long since
preceded him to the great beyond)
fitted up train aud started across the
plains to seek fortune in the gold
fields of California. After mining a
few years he settled in Drytown in 1857,
and worked at his trade of wagon
maker continually until about four years
ago, when his eyesight failed him.
He was married to Mrs. E. Lowe Dec.

warm friends to mourn his loss. His
age was 78 years. 2 months and 16 days.

the truth because he prefers to be
such. If the distinguished Athenian
scholar had taken the trouble to
hunt up copy of the codes he would
have found the following section
therein concerning the permanent
powers of the board of supervisors:
12. To examine, settle and allow
all accounts legally chargeable
against the county. EXCEPT salaries
of officers.
In face of this wholesome provision,
the new salary law is not cup to the
supervisors. Its Interpretation
and enforcement never can be up to
that body. 1t is a matter outside of
their jurisdiction. Official salaries
are fixed by higher power than
supervisors, and it would be the
hight of absurdity, after adopting
salary schedule, to refer the matter
to supervisors for final determine
tion. The bugaboo created by the
over-burdened brain of our cotem-
porary is thus effectually disposed
of. Furthermore, the editor of the
Ledger is not posing, never has
posed, and never will pose as the
leader of the republicans. He is
dead set against all leadership in
the shape of bossism in the republi-
can ranks. The republican party is
not in need of leadership of that
character. 1t can get along much
better without the aid of self-ap-
pointed dictators. 1t will always be
the policy of the Ledger to oppose
such schemes of leadership. With
this declaration, the balance of the
statements in the above quotation
falls by the wayside. We trust our
amiable cotemporary will not again
endanger his mental balance by ven
turing beyond his depth
