A DEMOCRATIC PIPE DREAM.

|
The gentleman who is candi-
date for county commissioner on
the democratic ticket from the first
| district is assidiously spreading the
story that his opponent, Frank E.
Crosse, is railroad man, and that
| if MI! Grosseis elected he will be
used" by the railroad when the
commissioners fix the assessment
of the railroad"
This is the cheapest kind of pol
itics, for the county commissioners
have no more to do with assessing
or fixing the assessment of the rail
roads than the man in the moon.
The state board of equalization
fixes the assessment of the railroad
and the board of county commits
sioners can neither raise nor lower
it and are bound in every way by
the action of the state board of
equalization. The board of county |
commissioners have utterly moth
ing to do with the railroad in any
shape or manner.
Mr.. Crosse is one of those fear
less, honest and independent men.
He is a man that will do right as
he sees it no mater what the out
come may be. Let no voter be de-
,eived by the stories resorted to by

elected no citizen will be too high .

Don't Use Big Words.

An exchange says in the pro- pagatlon, promulgation and enun- clatlon of your esoteric cogita- tlons, aud in articulating your superficial sentimentalities or psy chological animadversions, shun the use of cacophonious yer nacular and platitudinous pom- perousity.
 Let your conversational com- manications and mental ebulIi- dons or centrifugal reflections possess Q clarified conciseness and concentrating cogency.
 Eschew all heterogeneous con- glomerations of flatulent garruli- ty, jejune bablement and syco- phantic affection.
 Let your extemporaneous de- scantings and effervescent ex- patiations be void of innuendo- or mendacious calumnation, and have intelligibility and vivacious vivacity and be without TO- domontrade or bombastic bragg gadocio.
 Sedulously avoid polysyllabic profundity Or didactic amplifica- tion. And finally, avoid the use of double entendres, fatuitous ambiguity, prurient jocosity, opaque faeetiousness and pesti- ferrous profanity-either obscur- ent or apparent.

An Important Opinion.

Attorney-General George w.
 Murphy has given an opinion
 that amendments Nos. ?, 3 and
 10 the constitution were not legally adopted, as they failed to receive a majority of votes cast at the respective election. Amend . ment No. 3, the bond amend ment, voted on at the last elec- tion, is in the same class. The opinion was given on No. 3, voted on in 1894, giving the governor power to fill vacancies. No. ? makes a poll tax receipt a re- quisite to vote in the state, and No. ' is to place the members of the legislature on salary. The opinion, if the finding of the at- torney general is upheld by the supreme court, will mean the nullifying of all the amendments referred to. The opinion was rendered in response to 8 letter from Il. D. Palmer, circuit clerk of Lincoln county, who stated that ia tue last election B. A. Meroney was elected circuit clerk of that county, but that he died on October 6, 1904, and under the law had not been commissioned or qualified. Mr. Palmer said that he was now the duly elected, commissioned, qualified and act ing circuit clerk of the county, and asked if he did not hold the office until his successor had been elected and qualified, and ques- toned whether the governor could appoint a circuit clerk of Lincoln county under the circum.- stances, and whether he could be busted by the appointee. In his answer Attorney General Mur- phy says "there is not shadow of d pretext for Gov. Davis to
