9 Both Parties Conf,dant

A weli-informed newspaper correspondent
who has been making the rounds with the
Bankhead-Hobson party, quotes a political
friend OF Col. Bankhead as SAYING that at
the present outlook Bankhead should h.,

nine counties in the district to Hobson.

Hobson's Halo of Heroism.

heroism which surrounds his head are un-
doubtedly his drawing qualities. His ear
nestness of manner and the charge which
he brings against Bankhead that the lat
ter worked against his retirement and was
responsible for what he terms great in
Justice being done him by the failure of
Congress to retire him when his eyes gave
way undoubtedly impress his hearers.
Hobson charges that Bankhead did not
want him retired because he feared that
he tHobson) would run against Bankhead
for Congress. In every speech he dwells
upon this feature. and declares that right
now the government should have him on
the pay roll as retired naval officer who
had incurred physical disability in the
government service. Bankhead answers
this with the declaration that he did not
favor Hobson's retirement because the
medical board did not recommend IT.; that
Hobson was educated by the government
and should give the government his serv-
ices and not expect TO become pensioner
He adds that Hobson wants to put his
hands into the public treasury for 500 per
month of the peoples money and then go
around the country lecturing for fabu-
lOus price
The joint debates are off for the present,
but will be renewed next Monday ut Tus-
caloosa. and will probably continue until
the close of the campaign. The keenest
interest is being shown in these debates
and in the contest, and present indications
are that the race will be exceedingly close.

Rebate on Switching Charges.
The switching charges, let us suppose, as
regulated and published are So per carload
of freight delivered to any of the roads,
this charge collectible from the fiat rate of
81 a hundred that obtains between the two
cities. 1t is naturally to the advantage Of
all of these competing lines to get the traf-
fic from large manufacturing concern.
and there must be some way in which to
get it save by waiting for 1t to come A live
traffic manager would soon his way to
offer to the belt line railroad which crossed
all the competing roads tracks a better
plan of payment than the 50 rate per car
load. He might offer instead to give the
belt line rebate of % per cent of the fiat
rate of 81. Belonging to the manufacturing
company payment of this sort to the belt
line railroad would amount to a direct re-
bate to the shipper. because the rebate
would go to the latter owner of the
belt line railroad. If such a system were
operated it follows that the object of the
law is defeated, and 1t is to determine il
things of this sort exist that the interstate
commerce commission has called upon the
roads to file the names of their connecting
lines and points of contact, well as a
statement showing il they have been in
the habit of making terminal or connecting
allowances to lines which deliver the traffic.

Green Escellenf Style

The fourth concert in the Maennerchor's
amusement season was given last night at
Maennerchor Hall before a large and very
appreciative audience. and proved to be one
OF the most enjoyable entertainments ever
presented by the society. The programme
was varied and well balanced, and all OF
the vocal and instrumental selections met
with warm approval from the assembly.
The male chorus and mixed chorus of
this admirable indianapolis musical institu
ton has never been in better training than
at the present time. and under the skillful
conductorship OF Franz BeIlinger. the en-
semble numbers were rendered in excellent
stlye last night. The programme opened
with Sturm's "Einkehr," rendered by the
male voices, and this charming song was
well sung. the phrasing and shading being
alike commendabIe. The other numbers
given by the male chorus during the even
ing were Nagler's 'Siehst du das Nicer;
and KremSer's "Old Flemish Song, the
latter suggested by a melody found on a
Rembrandt painting. and both OF these
compositions were Interpreted with Soou
tone quality and with elasticity and buoy

heard in Engelbergs "Poeten aud der Aim

MUST LIVE IN CHICAGO
TO HOLD 4 CITY JOB
Civil-Service Case Is Decided bv
Judge Hanecy in the SUI
perior Court.

CHICAGO, April 2O.-In a sweeping
opinion as to the eligibility of nonresidents
to become public officials in this city. Judge
Elbridge Hanecy, in the Superior Court
to-day decided against the certifcation of
Charles B. Ball, of New York, who was
appointed chief sanitary inspector of this
city by the Chicago Civil-service Commits
sion. Instead, Perry l.. Hedrick, of Chi
cage. is ordered to be certified to the office.
In the opinion, Judge Hanecy declared it
to be against the fundamental laws and
the common sense and the common policy
of the people of Chicago, with it's popula-
ton of over 100000, abundantly able to
supply competent help for any Office, to
say that any department should be per-
mitted to go to New York any other
place to get employees to perform services
to be paid for by the taxpayers of Chi
cago.'
The distinction between employees and
officeholders was practically obliterated by
the courts decision that both come uE err
the State Constitution, which provides that
mo person shall be elected or appointed
to any Office in this State, civil or military,
who is not citizen of the United States
and who shall not have been in this State
one year next preceding the election or
the appointment
The case has attracted much attention in
Chicago. Ball, the New Yorker, is an ex-
pert in sanitary matters and stood at the
head of the list in the civii-service ex-
animation for the place. Hedrick was next
but both men were passed over under the
law in favor of a veteran of the civil war,
whose appointment was, however success
fully opposed by the civil-service asSocia-
ton here on the ground that the veteran,
although qualified under the civil service
examination. was incompetent in business
essentials.

Little Stories

Floods and their concomtants and the
coming of the tax-paying time reminded
an employe of one of the City Hall offices
Of an old story, so old that it is new and
good.
In the good Old days when one T. Tag
CART, who has now achieved fame and for
tune, was county auditor, there lived in
West Indianapolis an old Irishman whose
name shall be Murphy, because that WASH I
it. He was an enthusiastic Democrat, and
a henchman of the rising 7. Taggart.
Murphy worked in Kingan's, but had an
occasional day off. On one of these off
days he recollected that there were such
things in this world as taxes to be paid
and concluded to call at the treasurer S
office and ask what amount he would
have to pay for the privileges of citizen
ship that year. Once there, he was in
formed of the amount which was, greatly
TO his indignation and disgust. S1.30 more
than it had been the year before.
On voicing his discomfort, Murphy was
referred by the man behind the desk TO
Mr.. Taggart known to be the political idol
of the irate Irishman.
MI. IaBgart was seen, but refused TO
ply" said he, ''but that's something ]
don't know very much about. You'd better
he'll tell you what's the matter"
Mr.. Baker was warned of the coming OF
the Irishman, and tried to creep into a
pigeonhole of his desk, but was finally
apprehended by Murphy and confronted
with the question: "Phwat the diviPs the
rason that my taxes is wan dollar and
thorty cints more this year than they was
last year, Mr.. Baker,
why, you see, Mr.. Murphy, we raised
the levy this year.
That's a dom lie" was tie quick re
