is A GOOD THING.

The court of appeals decision in
the Winchester school bond question
may be right or 1t may be wrong. but
1t is law until the statute is amended
or the court of appeals reverses it.
self The appellate court holds that
the two-thirds vote required, is of
those cast on the question, not those
cast at the election at which the ques-
tion may be voted on. The Owens
boro Messenger says that Under the
decision of the court of appeals, in
total vote of 10000 cast on political
questions at an election, bond issue
involving 100000 would be declar-
ed carried If out of 1000 votes cast
for II 667 should be In the affirma-
tive" which is true But, should
something necessary for the welfare
of community be denied that com
munity because when IL was voted
on. 5000 voters--to use the Mes
sengers ustration-didn't feel
enough interest in 1t to vote on IT.?
The court of appeals decision ought
to make voters more alive to their
duty as citizens than they have
been. II should prompt them to vote
their sentiments. for II they do not
those who do may decide things con-
trary to their wishes. II the recent
decision enables a few to vote bonds,
IL will be only because the many are
remiss in their duty to themselves
and their city or county, and do not
vote at all.
What every city, county and state
needs is for the voters to turn out at
every convention. primary and cleo
tion and vote, II will II practiced

Nan Patterson has found that some
kinds of notoriety may help get

not necessarily help get the crowd.

ministration there has been very lit
tie. The deaths from yellow fever dur
ing the past ten months. among a force
averaging 800, have been just six.
For {. period of several weeks no cases
of the fever have been reported.
This speaks very well indeed for the
work OF the American medical corps.
Colonel Gorgas, through Admiral Davis,
tells US that there are / 900 men in his
department and that they are costing
$4,000 a month II they are doing their
work well, and Colonel Gorgas seems TO
believe 50. the money is being very well
spent. And there is no real reason why
the isthmus should not be made a fair

AN ILLUSION DIsPELLED.

A y ILLUSION has been dispelled for
II Congressman Tim" Sullivan of
one of the New York Tammany dis
ing he was a great man. He could
not see how any man elected to the
national lawmaking body could be
treated with less than the most pro-
found respect. He knows better now.
In a talk with some of his admiring
constituents not long since he pro-
nounced congress ION the bum" and
continued:
''1Fhe people over in Washington how
ever. have got the game sized up. and
they don't thinksany more of a congress
man than they would of a wooden In
dian in front of cigar store. Why. they
hitch horses to congressman whenever
they want to use them.
Great game there. Why. they run
along for few days in the house. talk
ing about something nobody understands,
ana then they announce they will vote on
a bill In ten days. BY that time m dis
gusted. and come over to New York to
forget congress Finally [ see some thing
IN the newspapers to remind me or it,
and / go back in time TO vote
Il find they're getting onto the game
on the BOwery, too. Few days ago a
shine guy came into the Occidental hotel
and asked for ReDTesentative Sullivan.
\ seedy looking affair at the bar speaks
UP and says: Representative Sullivan?
Why I just sent him up to Lyons restau-
rant TO get plate of beef for me- oh,
Yes. they're sizing up congressman on
the Bowery by now
But tell this not I'm Wellsville; let il
not be whispered through the fertile
Cache valley. They have a congress-
man up these whose name is indeliby
imprinted on the mileage roll of dis
honor" and the chances are that they
consider him a very great man. And
he is a great MANN Cache valley
In Washington he is not so great.
BY the way. Mr.. SulIivan's remark
about hitching horses to congressman
rather clears up former Senator
Kearns' celebrated tribute to Mr.. How
ell. You will remember that he said
Mr., Howell would stand without
hitching"

SOUTHERN BATTLE FLAGS.

NJ cussing, some favorably and 9TH
ers unfavorably, the action of congress
il, ordering the return of the confed-
crate battle flags captured by the
northern army in the war of the re-
beIliou and taken TO Washington. 1t
seems to us that there is no occasion
for unfavorable comment. The cap
tured flags are mementoes of a deadly
strife as well as testimonials to the
valor Of the northern armies. But they
are not needed now to show that tn
northern soldiers were brave, and the
sooner we get rid of all evidences of the
battles Of brothers the better off the
nation will be.
There is no division in this country
any longer AS has often been pointed
out in our war with Spain the south
responded TO the call for volunteers as
eagerly as did the north. Men who
wore the gray in the civil war wore the
blue in the war with Spain. The torn
old battle flags are much dearer TO the
old confederates than they can posi-
bly, be 10 the men who captured them.
They will find honoTed places in the
state houses Of the south and coming
genera lions will be told the story of the
generosity If the nOrth-when there
