Last Thursday the county com

further notice no bills against the
county would be paid or audited

We have been expecting just sue b
an announcement, and our article
last week called attention to the
fact that the county was running
behind thousands of dollars every
month.
1t is told US by what seems to be
the best of authority that the re-
cent grand jury cost the county
about $4,000, and the bills are not
all in yet. The result of the grand
Jury was a paltry fine of $50, which

pense of running the business OF
the county is away more than the
receipts.
How are we going to get rid OF
this debt, you ask? Well, it is be.
yond the power of the commission
ers to levy a tax big enough to wipe
it out. According to the law they
can not do it, and business, go far
80 the county is concerned, is sus.
pended.
Bonds might be voted to take up
the debt, but we do not believe the
people would vote the bonds, no
matter what the emergency.
1t may be that we will have to
wait until the Legislature meets
and have that body pass an ena-
bling act. That is, pass a special
measure authorizing the commits
sioners to issue funding bonds.
The bond route is the easiest way
out, 80 far as we can zee.
The next remedy would be to have
the people whom the county owes
to get together their claims all in a
bunch and bring suit against the
county to enforce payment. The
com missioners could then go over
the claims, and if they were all
valid, the commissioners could go
into court and confess judgment.
But, you say, that you would not
pay the bills. No, it would not, but
the court could then order the COM
missioners to levy tax sufficient
to pay the judgment. And if the
claims against the county amount
to $4,000, why, it would only take
about 20.mill levy to clean the
slate. That would be pretty hard
on some people, but something will
have to be done to meet the exigen.
cies of the case.
We do not believe blame should
be attached to anybody. Expenses
are simply too high. We suppose
a great deal of political capital will
be made out of the present finan-
cial predicament of the county by
designing politicians, but we hope
not. True, we believe we could tell
a lot about it, but the practice has
prevailed. and for years, and we
shall not at this time say our say.
That will come later.
What Cherokee county needs lie a
looping off a lot of useless expense.
Everybody has habit of bleeding
the county at every turn of the
rosd. A county auditor would be a
good thing. Every bill should be
examined, and pruned

Mr.. King says the best way to i'm
prove a road is for each man to own
his own drag and to use it after a
rain, working right up to his
neighbours front gate. shaming
him into doing his part.
The King road drag has been
used very successfully in the north
ern counties of the First district
for several months. and it is being
adopted largely in the states OF
Iowa and STANDARDIZATION
Globe.
The King drag is being used in
many Kansas counties with excel
lent results. If every farmer will
make one and keep the road from
his front gate to that of his next
neighbor toward town dragged, the
good roads problem would be
solved in short order.-Holtou Re-

that he never had any real trouble un-
TIL this winter. Two months ago one
of the ash inspectors told the general
the ash can in use at his house was
too small. Greedy bought new one.
Last week the ashes were not re-
moved and the general made a COM

tor went up to investigate. He re-
turned and reported to the general: 81
am sorry, sir, but the reason your
ashes have not been taken away Is
because your ash can is too large"
What Gen. Greedy said to the inspec-

WALL STREET IN HOTELS.
Many Large Brokers Do Business at
LEADING HosterieS.


Within recent years there has been
decided tendency toward the extern
sion of Wall street and kindred inter-
ests far beyond the old boundaries Of
the financial district, says a writer in
the Metropolitan. Nearly all of the
larger financial concerns now have
branch offices as far uptown" on Man
haitian as Harlem and the Bronx, and
hotels of the Importance of the Wal
dorf-Astoria, the st. Regis and Man
haitian have within their walls branch
offices Of some well-known banking or
brokerage firm with headquarters on
the street." and in touch by direct
wire with the stock exchange.
Not the least important phase of
this uptown movement was the open
ing few months ago of the new
Knickerbocker Trust building at the
corner Of Fifth avenue and Thirty
fourth street. This is one of New
York's most artistic business struc-
lures.
