REPLEVIN SUIT
IN WHICH MR.. MccAFFERTY OF
WEST TuSCARAWAS STREET
AND A CONSTABLE
MERE MIXED UP

"iNGD VT
Cornelius McCafrerty, of West Tus-
carawas street, swore out an assault
affidavit against Constable Jacob FL
son yesterday afternoon. The paper
was filed at the mayors office.
The trouble arose when the con-
stable was serving replevin papers on
McCafferty in regard to some furni-
ture belonging to one of McCafferty's
married sons who had recently stored
the articles with his father, after he
and his wife had parted. The wife
swore to the replevin papers which
Elson was serving upon McCafferty.
The latter in his story yesterday
afternoon said that Elson came to
him and demanded entrance to his
house. He did not like to have this
done and according to his story, he
told Elson that he and his wife would
go before justice of the peace or the
city authorities and give bond in the
case. McCafferty said Elson did not
take to his scheme and that he broke
open the door of the house. A heated
conversation arose and McCafferty
says, before he knew what was COM
ing, the constable had laid hands up
on his person and had thrown him in
a wagon that was nearby.
Elson was notified of the affidavit
against him by Officer Piero last
night. He will appear before the
mayor this morning.

HIS QUALIFICATIONS.

What qualifications should a public
officer possess? The qualifications that
he does possess are not always those
which are essential. Frequently his
personal qualifications are disqualif-
cations. He may be popular as a
good fellow and reliable Judge of
human nature, but may not be a cap
able public servant.
Describing the ideal mayor, the Den
YER Post quotes what it styles the
most interesting description ever
given" and which it attributes to SEN

Thus does Jim Hill show his unset
fish friendship for the people Of
Washington. Thus does he seek to
promote their welfare and prosperity.
How absurd it is for the people of
this state to ask that the powers Of
the interstate commerce commission
be increased in the interest of ship
pers and that a railroad commission
be created in this state when Hill
stands ready to make such voluntary
sacrifices to benefit the shippers of
this state. Mcbride ought to be
ashamed of himself. Instead of advo-
eating the equitable taxation and just
regulation of the railroads he should
issue special thanksgiving proclama-
ton calling, upon all the people of the
state to assemble in their places of
worship and sing the praises of Jim
Hill, the giver of every good and per-
feet gift that this state has or can
ever expect to receive.

The morning paper quotes what
Senator Ankeny's private secretary
sent to the Spokesman Review as
proof of the reliability of the dispatch
he sent to the Union regarding the re
tention of Fort WaIla Walla as a per.
manent post. That is certainly q
clincher. The Statesman said yester-
day that all citizens of Walla WaIIa
regardless of faction or party would
rejoice if Senator Ankeny should sue
coed in holding the fort and would
cheerfuIly give him due credit FOR MS
good work. We Will stand by that
statement. but we want something
more than vague promises of what will
be done next year before accepting as
the gospel truth all that WASHINGTON
correspondents send out.

WHICH SHALL 1T BE?

The republican voters Of this county
must either endorse Governor, Mcbride
for second term or take as a subSti-
tute Doe Smith, the arch traitor of
the last legislature, or Colonel Rid
path Of Spokane, free-silVer popu-
list trimmer, who is ready to accept
any platform in order to satisfy his
itching for public office. Either of the
candidates offered by the Holy Rol-
lers" would be the abject tool of the
railroad lobby.
At present Ridpath seems to be the
favOrite of the Levites of this county,
but it is likely that their only object
in supporting his candidacy is to draw
eastern Washington votes from Nc
Bride and thus aid in the nominal ton
of Doe Smith, who is the first choice
of George Stevenson. Smith was
promised the nomination as his reward
for playing Judas to Harold Preston
in the senat orial contest a year ago.

infamous prototype possessed he would

SHOULD HAVE SPOKEN SOONER

Congressman Burton, republican, of
Ohio, bears the distinction of having
speech sounded in the lower house at
this session. Declaring that large
navy is a national peril, he devoted his
undOubted elOquence to ringing ar
gument against this years naval bill,
which calls for an unprecedented sum,
$96,OOO,OOO.
The congressman expressed what
has been the gist of democratic
thought during the last six years, the
very kernel of latter day democracy
from our time-hOnored institutions,
against the world power idea
against sheltering the reign of COM
merciaiism with the fortified tons of
militarism. 1t is strange thing that
Ibis should come from republican lips:
and it may yet be an historical Incl
dent.
What is the reason. then" asked
the congressman of his startled col
leagues, for this great expenditure
of 500 100000, an amount almost eX-
ceeding everything that is expended
for the civil side of the government
when you recollect that the post office
is nearly self-sustaining? Why, it
means that We are inviting the nations
of the earth to attack us. 1t means
that we are declaring to the world
that we are going to enter into field
the opposite of that which we have oc-
cupied in the past, that we are going
to move in and dominate political af-
fairs in other portions Of the EARTH
AS said this is all democratic
thought-democratic in all that it di-
rectly states and all that it implies
But Mr.. Burton, the republican. is
discovering these things too late.
| Democrats have Numbered forth these

fully worthy of any office you may be
willing to give him."
Further light is directed on the
subject by Police Marshal T. F. Far
| nan of Baltimore Picturing the ideal
policeman, he says: He should be
| temperate. People can say what thew
will, but close observation has con-
vlnced me that the man who does not
! indulge in liquor as beverage or a
stimulant has more endurance can act
quicker in an emergency than the man
| who drinks, even if he only takes one
| or two drinks day. One quality that
all police officers should possess IS the
| ability to say no and stick to it, and
| this quality in ane of it's phases is
closely connected with the matter of
being temperate"
1t might seem from these two state
ments that policeman should have
greater capacity and character than a
chief executive officer. 1t might also
be said, however, that Senator Chand-
ler's definition is comprehensive. There
is no doubt that, if a mayor or prom
inent citizen could walk to the edge
of the sidewalk at midnight, when no
he would be qualified to hold any
public office. He would be a twentieth
century wonder.
OF course, if a man has love for ami
mails he ought to be elected to pub
lie office If he has respect for wo-
men he is certainly qualified to rem
der efficient service. So few people
have respect for women and love for
animals that only they of this type
should be elected to administer public
business. If they love children, in ad-
dtion to animals, they are that much
more fit.
The Denver Post, with the help of
Senator Chandler, has removed all of
ernment. Whenever nominations are
in order, it will not be necessary to
ascertain his ability and become in
formed concerning his affiliations. The
work Will be simple. A committee will
be appointed to see whether he sue
cors ladies n distress and isn't asham-
ed of his gallantry. Children and dogs
and cats will be put before him, to !
see whether he loves them. And l.le
committee will observe whether he |
goes to the edge of the sidewalk at |
There will be no need to learn |
whether he has ability and experience. |
whether he has character, whether
his brain is clear, whether he is free |
of "entangling alliances" whether he |
scheming politician. whether he has
decision and whether he has civic 10y
atty. There will be no need, even, of |
having city charter. The most in
description ever written"
allays all doubts and disseminates all |
troubles. The way to pick cand-
dates is clearly Illuminated. AS nine
tynine men out of a hundred are re-
Spectful toward women and rather
fond of children, and as some of the
weakest characters are most prone to |

with little trouble.
