THERE Is nothing In this election
i that is Of any greater Importance
to the people Of this county than an
honest. efficient Levy Court. II is a
matter of dollars and cents as well as
OF deccncy. Il not only means a saw
ing 70 the Taxpayers but It affects the
business interests OF the community,
for new enterprises are reluctant to
invest their capital IN place whose
government is honeycombed with
steals and rake-offs,
New Castle county has had two ex-
amples; one Of reclSlessness and incom-
petency with the accompaniment OF
Incorporated funds. Following this
there has been an administration, fru-
gal. clean and competent. II has re-
suited in reduced taxes. debts paid and
money in the treasury. Now which
sort Of an administration do the voters
want2
Look we'll to your ballots; for how
ono or two men got there is a mystery.
one Of these candidates is William A.
scott--the circumstances demand the
use Of his name
Mr.. Scott was once IN the Levy Court,
and when the doings Of that body were
Investigated by the Attorneys General
certain things came to light which, to
give them their best Interpretation,
show that he is utterly unfit TO hold
the office again. The minutes OF that
hearing show that Mr.. Scott and other
members OF the court bought thousands
Of feet Of lumber and ordered the bills
paid, the lumber costing $40 per thous-
and, when the firm that furnished Il
was getting but s22 per thousand from
other parties for the same kinds OF
lumber
There were a number Of these orders
and Mr. Scott was party to most Of
them This lumber consisted in long
cuts. short cuts two-inch, three-ineh
and four-inch plank, but it all cost $40
Der thousand. when al that time the
market price was a little more than half
that figure.
There was a remarkable amount Of
lumber ordered, so much that there
was no use for part OF It. The tes-
timony showed that nearly 10000 feet
was ordered ana paid for and left az
the station at Marydel 1t was there
when the investigation was held. and
may be there yet. OF course the firm
that furnished the lumber testified that
they gave no rake-off to anybody, and
of course their word must be taken.
i3ut can Mr.. Scott explain his lack Of
business sense IN ordering lumber time
after time and paying for IL nearly
twice what It was worth? Can he ex-
plain the poor judgment he displayed
IN purchasing large quantities. paying
for it ere Il was delivered. and allow
ing it 10 lie in the yards Of Marydel 60
rotg Does the Democratic party seri-
ously ask people to support MI Scott
again? II so. il desires a return TO the
old methods which made our Levy
Court thing TO avoid mentioning.

Think it over and answer honestly.
A party is composed of thousands OF

"the rehabilitation by the Republican

The issue has not been rehabllitated
by the Republican party. The Repub-

it into prominence again. when the
Democratic party of the southern states
set about its new crusade against the

There is one candidate for Office on the
Democratic county ticket who has a
novel way of approaching a voter and
asking for his support at the coming cleo

ticular candidate whether the voter IS
Republican or a Democrat both look
alike TO him.
He simply walks up to the voter and
giving the latter a warm handshakc says.

times the voter is mystihed by the un-

to see the Index devote part OF IT'S
valuable space to criticisms Of certain

The Union Iron Works has been
awarded the contract for the repairing

freighter Algoa. and this in spite of
the fact that the bid of the local con
cern was $4,000 higher than that of
the British Columbia Machine Works
OF Victoria. The Union Iron Works
viii do the work for s68.OOO, and no
time Will be lost in making a start, as
every day the big vessel is idle means
added loss to the Pacific Mail Com
pany.
The British company was able TO
make such a low bid. it is said, on ac-
count of the low rate at which they
can get the drydock at Esquimalt.
In spite Of this, however, the steam
ship company favored the builders of
the Oregon and the Algoa will be re-
paired here.
repairs it is thought probable, when
they are finished, that the Pacific Mail
Company will apply for American
register for their big freighter, which
now flies the British flag.
Inc accident TO the AlgOa spoiled
what would have been the greatest
money making record in the history of
the big vessel. When. Captain Lockett
ran the Algoa on the rocks she was at
the end of the second trip she had
made across the Pacific within a re-
markably brief time. Going and COM
ing each time she had been loaded to
her full capacity. She had received
quick dispatch wherever freight was
handled and but for her misfortune
would have shown a profit which
would have insured smiles for the
skipper from those in authority.
Although the actual damage done is
covered by insurance, the loss through
the vessels idleness will be heavy, as
there was enough freight offering to
have kept the Algoa, big as she is,
busy for a long time.

STOCKTON, July 19.-When the
court convened this morning to con-
tinue the examination as to the suffi-
cheney of the fugitive warrant upon
which the alleged diamond thieves
were held Mrs. Brown-Sabin did not
put in an appearance. Her bail of
$2500 cash was declared forfeited and
a bench warrant was issued for her ar
rest. Her attorneys professed ignor-
ance of her Whereabouts.
An investigation showed that her
presence in her room at the California
Hotel had been noted as late as l
o'clock this morning. Later the key
was found in the door and it was
found that she had packed her valise
and gone away. 1t is believed that
her love for the man whom she called
Brown and declared to be her hus-
band was the motive for her flight, her
desire being to join him. he having
been taken away last night by Sheriff
Whitlock of Vermillion County, Ill. 1t
