Two Contest Cases.

Mr.. Shafroth's refusal to hold con.
gressional seat tainted with fraud
serves to recall another contest case
recently decided in congress. The
Shafroth case reminds US Of the other
one because it was so different. Mr..
Howell was E. 'ctcd to congress on an
independent ticket in Pennsylvania
district, defeating Mr.. Connell, the
machinerepublican candidate. Con-
nell began contest proceedings and
was seated by a vote that was almost
partisan-one Republican from
Pennsylvania and two Republicans
from New York having the honesty
to vote to retain Howell. The Phila-
delphia North American thus speaks
f the case: 'Howell's election was
not only d fact, but it was distinct
triumph for independence against
machine trickery. Connell, a Re-
publican, was able to prevent Howells
receiving the, straight Democratic
nomination, yet was fairly beaten at
the polls. And though his methods
are we'll known, and though Howell is
a poor man, he goes before congress
and accuses the successful candidate
Of ccrrupti' .. The testimony did not
in the least Justify change in the
result. But party loyalty triumphed
over decency, and the will of the vot-
ers vas defeated by a dishonest judy
ment in the house of representatives.

The Race Problem is Not New.

Joel Chandler Harris, than whom
the south has produced no keener o.
server or more forceful writer, has
contributed to the Philadelphia Satur-
day Evening Post three interesting
articles on the negro problem" ."
Those who talk about the negro
Pre- blem" for the sole purpose Of max
ing political carital out Of the Quts'
tion would do we'll to read. digest and
act upon Mr.. Harris" review Of the
subject. He clearly shows that the
so-called negro problem" is merels
the problem which all individually
and all races have had to contend with
at one time or another, and there is
no solution save hard work and right
living" Mr.. Harris points out-and
proveS-that the negro'S situation in
the south is nothing like so bad as in
the north, for while southern negroes
are earning a living by pursuing vari-
Gus trades and callings in which the
whites are also engaged, northern ne
groes are not allowed to compete with
the whites in any but the most menal
and Improbable callings. Mr.. Har-
ris sums up the question briefly when
he declares: ''The trouble heretofore
with educated negroes is that they
have insisted on swarming into poll
tics or into the pulpit. Up to date
they have made the poorest kind OF
politicians and, with a few notable ex-
ceptions, very inferior preachers"

S4O,26 SO
Let it be noted now that the first
two items, 81, 161 20 and 43.76, and
the last two, $3.50 and SIT, 749. IS were
in no way, directly or indirectly a
part of the contract made by the
commission with the contracting COM
pany. Take off, therefore, S26, ,lO4.S1
from the $40, ,269.69. An appropria-
tion of S2,6S2 has been made for a
new roof. A new roof may be neces-
sary, but the old commission, whose
word there is no reason to doubt, says
that there is on file in the office OF
the secretary of State a guarantee
bond on this roof for ten years
given not by McIlyain, Unkefer
Company, but by the roofing concern
that put it up. Deduct this amount
also from the forty thousand dollar
negligence. Other items seem ques-
tionable. On the whole, it looks as if
there were a dseire to magnify the
negligence of the commission and to
blame them for what they are in no
way responsible. This being the case
although the work still appears to be
shoddy, we are not willing to join in
the condemnation of anybody with
those who, as it seems to US, employ
unfair methods. We are sorry the leg
islature did not allow the old commiss
sion full and free hearing. Possibly
there's some politics in. this business. !"

noted an unusually heavy charge for
distiIlate and wrote asking the mine
manager why it cost so much to
distil the water?"

who lived in Salt Lake received a re-
quest from his manager for some fish
plates, and replied that those men
who could not eat fish of their dinner

In the early days OF Tasmanian the
farmers suffered greatly from the raw
ages OF rats and mice in their grain
stacks. In order to protect himself
n farmer adopted the expedlent OF
sanding the stack. While building
a stack. he would throw a quantity OF
dry sharp. clean sand between every
two layers or sheaves.
IL Is said that neither rats nor mice
would invade such a stack, and the
reaso given by the farmer was that

the sand falling into their eyes and

A Western gardener says: One OF
