SELF-EXPLANATORY,

EDITOR OF DISPATCH.
Believing that in your last issue I'M
der the heading Of "A Patriotic Man
you were laboring under a wrong IN
preston and did not state the real facts,
| wish to have this article printed that
the citizens Of Wadsworth may know
the facts and draw their own conclus-
ions therefrom. =
The halyards you spoke Of were
neither torn down o allowed 10 run
through the pulley by any criminal
"carlessness" as you inferred in your.
article but simply by accident. 1t is
well known that a rope beating against
a rough place can be worn out very
easily especially when a flag is attached
to it and the wind is tossing it about.
Last Fourth Of July. | believe Mr..
Keiser ran up the flag. II was tossed
about by the wind and that evening
when he went up TO take 1t down he
found the rope cut by the constant rub
bling on the roof, the flag Icing on the
roof and the rope out of the pulley.
We have been trying. every since that
time to get somebody to replace that
rope but as II was a rather risky piece
Of work we we're unable to get anybody.
Finally last Monday Mr.. Keiser was
fortunate enough to engage an Indian
to do the work. Furthermore, | would
like to have it understood that Mr..
Keiser is not out a cent fol. the work
as the District will do in this case as
1t has done many times before-reim-
burse him for incidental expenses in
cured during the month.
| am sending in this article Mr..
Editor. simply that our Board of Ed
ucation and myself may be set right
before our townspeople.
do not want the impression to go
abroad that our School Trustees, who
are as progressive and unselfish a lot
Of men as ever occupied their positions
have neglected their duty. They have
given their time and sometimes their
money for the benefit Of this school
and | think the attack very much
uncalled for.
Mr.. Keiser is not seeking any noto-
riety for the part he took in the affair
as he was simply carrying out instruc-
tons as Janitor Of the building.
Respectfully yours.
G. A. LEAvITT.
While the DISPATCH, does not see
where terminal" c~arelessness was
charged. or anything said in the article
mentioned that could be construed as
an attack" on anybody. the intention
being simply to give MI. Kaiser the
praise he deserved; we have, neverthe-
less reproduced the communication
from Mr.. Leavitt. without a single
change.

Powers Of Justices and the County Court

NS"SaS vs. SuSISSS aAe thS OUuutJ NOuit
To the Editor Of the American:
Ihave seen in the Southern Standard
McMinnville, in reference to the idan
Of redistricting the counties and reduc-
ing the number of Justices OF the Peace
etc., the following: 'Tf there is any
provision Of the Constitution requiring
Justices Of the Peace to come together
in an organized body ct public expense
. the best remedy for the evil is
to reduce the number Of Justices" ETC.,
There is no provision in the Consti-
tuition requiring the Justices of the
Peace TO come together in an organic
ed body ct public expense.
Art. z, Secs. 1 asd Q, Of the Constitu-
tion provides that the Justices of the
Peace shall elect q Coroner and Rang
er every two years. This can be done
at the general election, the justices on
ly voting for these officers as special
duty. Then to fill the rare vacancy in
the Offices Of Sheriff, Trustee and Reg
lister, il the justices were called to the
seat and had to be paid once probably
in twenty years. this would not otamount
TO anything when compared to the
meetings Of the Quarterly Court every
year, often in session two days.
The idea that the only means of re-
organizing the county Court is by aboI
tshing the civil districts and killing
out the Justices Of the Peace is an in.
excussble error. By force Of the Con-
stitution the Justices Of the Peace are
no more designated as composing the
County Court than the Oonstables that
are provided for the civil districts. -
Art. 9, Sec. 15 Of the Constition. The
Constitution provides for Justices ol
the Peace for the civil Districts, and
not for anywhere else, and the act oi
the Legislature, Sec. s9i, Shan. Code,
establishing the County Court and put
ting in IL composed Of Magistrates Of
the county. stands just like any other
act OF the Legislature, subject tc
amendment and repeal of the above
quoted clause. Then provide thai
there be o County Judge for each ceun
| ty, or . commissioner. as in most ststeI
TO transact the business Of the county
cou1t. The ''eivil districts Of convent
snt sizs. 'ss provided by the Constitu
tion should be preserved, with the Jus
tices Of ahe peace therein. The peopl
are entitled 10 them. Public school il
tezests and every other consideration
demand the preservation Of the civi
districts.
