do not remember the enormous ex-
pense of the Lejune administration
Ii was almost twice what Messrs
Custer and Collins have made it and
nothing to show for the money
spent. Our present board has not
only saved the people thousands OF
dollars every year, but has paid
debts and is making extensive and
very much needed improvements
County finances are Just getting in
shape so these improvements can be
consistently made. To again put a
republican board in power 50 that il

Salids Mail. - The republican
party of this state was jobbed by
the PIE eaters and citizens alliance.
The pie eaters wanted job for two
years more and the mine owners and
citizens alliance wanted to use the
republican administration to crush
labor organizations and reduce
wages. Peabody was just such .
man. They began to indorse him
and the rank and file were led into
it so far that they could not heck
out. Had they repudiated Peabody

and declared that Peabody was not

Paonia Newspaper-The demo-

republicans evidently appreciated
the fact as they met Immediately
afterwards and named mere figure
heads for all the places but one. Our

nominated for the legislature and
from our past acquaintance with the

As an eXamnle Of rennhlic.

As an example of republican mis-
representation to gain votes read this
week Peabody organ on the expen-
ses OF the Adams VS. the Peabody
administration. Ii does not hesitate
to boldly claim the figures so thor
oughly exposed on our first page.
These figures have been brazenly
circulated throughout the state by
pamphlets when a more flimsy fabri-
cation could hardly be imagined
Grown desperate they are willing tc
resort to any story, and it might be
remarked that when a set of party
leaders begin to falsify even the
plainest official facts and figures
their word is not to be trusted on
any point.

THE WRONG voOpPuE.

The following item appeared last
week IN feabodys official county
organ;
Tie curley headed lodg in the local
democratic wood pile has pro
truded his fear stricken visage

gade portion Of their ticket must

it shame?
This item was published for a
purpose. The opponents of J. +
Brothers and ?. J Hurley are Fred
Brown and Rob Potter. The candid
reader will Judge whether democrats
are trading right and left to save
the old liners" Then what WAS the
object Of the above item? Is it not q
fact that Brown and Potter were
deliberately put up AS sacrifice to
trade for Whipp and Watson? We
are not making any charges, but in
view of past elections and the pres
ent situation, doesn't that look
reasonable? The above item was
shrewdly written to pave the way
for just this bargain. Democrats
are not trading" We expect to
elect the whole ticket and each can
didate and that candidates friends
are going down the line for the
whole ticket.

.CHICAG0 PHYSICIANS
WORK MEDICAL CRAFT

Chicago, Oct. 1.-THE Chicago Medi-
cal society will receive a shock Wednes-
day night An investigation will be
asked Of evidences that certain promi-
nent Chicago physicians are willing to
pay commissions. known to the profes-
sion as medical graft"
A list of the men against whom it is
said evidence has been obtained has
been submitted TO John B. Murphy,
president of the society, and he has
declared the most stringent action will
be taken whenever a physician is found
guilty.
Decoy letters were sent out to more
than 100 physicians in Chicago, pur-
porting to como from young country
physician, saying he had a wealthy pa
tlent who needed special treatment
along the line Of the physicians work
and asking for a commission of 25 per
cent for referring the case to the Chi
cagoan.

that the names were obtained. Out on

rAE LOGICAL coNcLusIoN.

II ARMONY between the contend
4 4 ing Republican factions has at
last been reached. The compelling
force was not pressure from the na-
tional committee. but the desire for
Republican supremacy Joined with the
fear Of Democratic victory. No pos
sible good can come from a discussion
of what has happened. II is done and
the past Is without interest save as Il
sheds light on the future.
The Regular Republican state COM
mittee consented 20 a. compromise
ticket on the assumption that Addicks
is eliminated and can no longer he re-
garded as a disturbing factor. Il has
also taken the ground that there is no
serious objection to the leaders who
have been closely identified with the
cause OF Addicks. This Is shown IN the
fact that such names as Geo. w. Mar
shall and Hiram r. Burton appear OF
the joint ticket. with the full approva
Of the Regular Republican committee
Now all Of this having been accom-
plished--and we are not now objectinl
lit occurs to us that there Is no longei
any necessity for two state Committee,
or for two county committees in eacl
OF the counties. The only thing lefi
FOR separate organizations is TO SCRAP
over spoils and to arrange tickets that
the delegates to conventions should
arrange. Certainly there is nothing
more important TO a party than the
naming Of candidates for public office;
and II the state Committees can select
a common ticket acceptable to all. then
the people should be equally capable Of
doing the work.
The only excuse for a minority or
ganization is to oppose a wrongful ma
jority. II an the votes polled by the
Addicks outlet had been honest votes
then there would have been no excuse
for a minority party. And when the
validity Of those votes is recognized
formally and finally there is no ex-
cuse for two organizations. Therefore,
we think the logical outcome OF the
compromise Of last Wednesday is one
organization. and that in future all
party questions should be determined
by majority rule.

WOMEN HELPED ON NEW
CHURCH BUILDING
Dedication Services Held in
New First Church Of Christ
Scientist

Women members Of the congregation
figured largely in preparing the new
First Church of Christ, Scientist, for
the dedication services held yesterday
The temporary structure was completed
In the remarkably short time of three
weeks. The workmen finished their
work at 1890 O'Clock on Saturday night
and after that the women put it in
condition for the services.
The dedicatory services were Of an
interesting nature. After the opening
hymn and prayer, David Masters, the
treasurer, announced that there was
absolutely no indebtedness ON the
building, in accordance with the rules
OF the church, which is that no church
building may be dedicated while there
is any debt upon II.
Formal presentatio was made by the
president, William Savery, and Miss
Louise De Lisle Radzinslxi, the second
reader, gave the history of the church
in Wilmington.
The lesson for the day was "Proba-
ton After Death"
There was a large attendance, Chris
uan Scientists being present from New
York, Philadelphia and West Chester.
A collection was taken for the build

MOTHER JONES A VISITOR
Made Two Addresses Before Labor
Unions Yesterday.

Mother Jones, the champion OF labor
unions. delivered two addresses in this
city yesterday. She is raising a fund
for the benefit OF the miners Of Colorado,
who have been deported by the authorities
and 1t was 10 interest local unions in the
matter that she came to Wilmington.
Her first address was given before the
members Of the Central Labor Union She
amused those who heard her by narrating
her own experiences when she was de-
ported. AT midnight the door Of her room
was broken open and two soldiers or
.dered her 20 accompany them to head
quarters. She was then given three min
utes to leave the town and was escorted
TO the railroad station by eight soldiers.
Mother Jones spoke of the sufferings OF
the miners and said they were in want
and the fund she was raising was 70 be
FOR their relief. Later IN the afternoon
she spoke at the labor 1.yceum.
When Mother Jones arrived in the
city she could not find the Central Labor
Union headquarters ana wandered into
the police station. Captain Evans went
10 .he meeting room and told the SER
geant-at-ams that she was az the pollce
station. A committee was at once an
pointed TO meet her and conduct her to

SALARY EQUALIZATION.

CUPPOSE the ofice Of Secretary of
- State paid salary OF S2,5OO
year. and suppose that OF Clerk Of the
Peace of New Castle county paid an
equal amount wouldn't. the people be
served with equal efficiency. and
wouldn't 1t be good thing TO have
the residue in the public treasury
And, too, If the Office OF Secretary
of State were to pay salary COM
mensurate with the services exacted,
a great bone Of contention would be
removed from our politics. and there
would be no thought Of rledglng a
candidate for governor to name a GER
tain man, or to recognize the claim Of
any particular faction to the office.
And then IL the Clerk OF the Peace OF
New Castle county We're paid only a
reasonable salary there would be no
terrific scramble for the office with
the temptation to spend large sums OF
money TO corrupt the electorate.
Perhaps the most important state
office is that Of Attorney General. II is
an office requiring strong man. one
OF considerable legal ability. fearless
ness and industry, while a competent
clerk can do most OF the work Of the
office Of Secretary Of State. Yet we
allow the Attorney General but 81. GOO
while it is estimated that the secre-
tary OF State draws in salary and fees
az least $4,000. And the Deputy At
iorney- General, whose work requires
as much ability and Industry as the
Secretary Of state, gets the mere pitt
tance Of $3.50. The tendency is for
lcertain favored officials 10 secure ad-
dltlonal appropriations every year. and
to have their salaries or fees increased
while those not so favored are denied
amy increase.
Now aside from the Governor ant
the judges, does anybody doubt that
any state or county office could b,
filled as efficiently as al present with
out paying a salary exceeding $4,000.
Then why not have revolution?
From time TO time an parties have
put into their platforms a plank plede-
ing their candidates for the Leglsla-
ture TO enact a salary law, applicable
TO county and State officers, abolishine
the fee system. It occurs to as that
the people should demand reform.

FoR A nav eALLoT LAw.

a S ELECTION approaches the
( n secret ballot again looms up
Ike nightmare. II will be larger and
probably more complicated than usual.
rhe election machinery Is complex and
expensive, and instead OF it being easy
FOR each man to vote his sentiments,
{ IS problem about which the most
Intelligent will have some doubt after
his ballot is in the box.
The Voters Assistants have been
appointed all over the state. In GER
tain instances these men may live up
to the strict letter Of the law. but in
most cases they will act as assistants
70 the briber and vote manipulator,
ana the people win go down into their
pockets and foot the generous bin that
they must pay for these Official spies
ia the election booths.
Honesty, economy and fair elections
demand simpler method OF voting.
The craze over the Australian system,
modified in many ways, should be
given over The old fashioned vest
pocket ballot hedged around by certain
restrictions is the simplest and prob
ably the best.
We would recommend a law which
under certain restrictions as to the size
and color of the paper, would allow any
party to print It's own ballots and
stickers. We would have election
booths, and In these have loose tickets
Of all the parties. Then when the
voter passed I'm to the booth he would
be given an envelope He would go
into the booth, put his ticket in the
envelope, seal Il and pass it to the in
spector. BY this method he would not
require assistance. since he could fix
his ticket outside and day in advance
IL he chose. And it would be a secret
ballot, because IL the ticket he carried
IN didn't suit him, he could select an
other from those IN the booth.
II is easily possible to greatly simpn-
~ voting, TO save the great expense Of
printing the blanket ballots and the
advertising Of sample ballots, and at
the same time TO do away with spies
and helpers, while encouraging inde-
pendent voting. What do the legis-
lative nominees think Of our plan?
