The post Office department is adyer-
tlsing for bids for furnishing post
Office building, with new and complete
equipment, in Jackson. Notices are
posted up on bulletin boards around
town to this effect. 1t is understood
that the department is willing to go to
the limit of $50 per month, and lease
for ten years, for a properly equipped
post Office. No fault is found with the
present location, and the object OF this
move is apparently to justify the owners
of the present building, or some other
suitable place, to fix up in suitable
manner for this purpose.

The Dispath of the 4th instant pub
lished as a communication, but with
out any signature thereto. con-
temptible attack upon Morris Brinn,
accusing him of misusing his official
position when holding the Office of
supervisor. Our cotemporary by so
doing, violated two of the unwritten
but well-recOgniZed rules of decent
journalism, namely, first, Never to
publish charges against any man, with
out the accuser vouching for the same
to the extent of affixing his real name
thereto. I'd. Never make charges
against a candidate in the last issue of
newspaper before the election, there
by depriving the accused of chance
to reply. Any departure from these
plain rules of justice cannot fail to
bring down upon the offending journal
the scorn of rightthinking men.

The form of the ballot used at the
last election, and the voting rules, are
q vast improvement on previous cleo
ton laws, as is evident by the small
number of tickets thrown out as illegal.
In past years it has been usual for
many ballots to be rejected because of
nonconformity with some technicality
OF the election law At the general
election two years ago, the number of
ballots cast for the various candidates
for governor fell 107 short OF the total
number of votes polled. This year
only 80 votes failed to be counted on
presidential electors. This shows that
the election law has at last got down
to basis of simplicity that may be
easily eomprehended by the average
voter. It is hoped that the legislature
will 'let well enough alone" and quit
further monkeying with it.

Uncle Sam has peculiar ways of doing
business. He now wants to lease a
post Office in Jackson for term of
years. Two or three bulletin boards
around town, with typewriter notices
tackled thereon, are made the only ye-
hicles of conveying his want in this
regard to the public. This is trifle
tough on both the newspapers and the
community at large. But this is not
all. A perusal of these posted docu-
ments shows that intending bidders are
required to furnish not only the build
ing but also q full set Of new and up-to-
date lock boxes and other furniture,
a modern fire and burglar proof safe;
also heat, light and water. With these
extras thrown in, it is not anticipated
there will be any stampede of property
owners eontendlng for the honor of
having the government for q tenant.
