terests of the taxpayers, this Office has
been so filled Beyond a little employ
mont by some road contractors during
the past year, il is said. the appointee
has had no roadbuilding experience, and
Therefore cannot claim 10 be qualified
hy expert knowledge for the supervision
of roads. But on purely political grounds
it may be urged that he has claims on the
Republican party, although why the
Levy Court should be called upon to
liquidate those claims is another matter.
In return for service rendered the Re
publican party in number OF election
campaigns, this new official was elected
fireman at the county Court House, but
a year ago he was dropped, for what
reason the Republican members of the
Levy Court who refused to re-elect him
may best explain. This year, at the
urgent request Of President McFarlin,
be was installed in the new, and prac-
tically unnecessary Office of supervisor
Of county roads.
We have already made inquiry Of Re
publican sources as to why John Levy,
the man elected to the Office of supervisor
Of roads, should have been thus provided
for. Surely the public interests did not
demand his special preferment. The act
calls for explanation, and if the Levy
Court shall attach liberal compensation
to the almost useless Office, Il will attach
a deep and ugly suspicion to the entire
proceeding Already there is belief
that this man must be provided for''
because be "l1nows too much" about
certain political transactions which might
not bear the light Of investigation; and
TO provide him with a good living at the
public expense, in an Office for which 5000
a year would be liberal compensation,
viii only tend to deepen this suspicion.
II is up to the Republican majority of the
Levy Court to make It's motives in this
very questionable transaction clear and
above board, or accept the natural conse-
quences Of public distrust and condem-
nation.

TWO MEMS MEMORIES.

Il is generally the unusual thing which
is the easiest TO remember-but II seldom
happens that exactly the same elements in
any situation are most unusual or most
striking to any two onlookers. A man
who has travelled many times up and
down the Mississippi stood on the levee at
Cape Girardeau, Mo. one noon time, watt
ing for the arrival 0f a downbound packet.
Another prospective passenger stepped up
and accosted him.
Pardon me. sub f" he said, 'You and
] have met befo but you do not remem-
ber me
DOUBTLESS if you will recall the circum-
stances / shall do So said the other.
"Well. sub, It was at Bahfield, Arkansas
one evening i've years ago.
81 remember Barheld and the evening
perfectly said the man accosted. 1T
was a frightiully stormy night. The mud
at Barfcld was deeper than | had ever
seen before. l had moored my boat at
the bank in front OF town, but the bank
was so soft ! could not climb il.
Skinned up a rope TO the top, waded over
my shoes In mud TO a store, bought some
groceries and returned 70 my cabin by
sliding down a lumher chute. My wife

the Mississippi A raft Of logs broke
loose and went down stream, and as had
no skih to follow them with, / shouted an
alarm and others went. The rain turned
TO snow before morning, and the next
morning which was Sunday, the steamer
Ferd Herold came in from Memphis at
daybreak'
''Nes. sub, said the man who remen-

The cry of the Populists and Socialists
is that our Congress is largely composed
Of "agents of corporations" And some
Of the members of Congress are among
those who make this charge.
Senator Tillman of South Carolina, who
is decidedly Populistic, if not Socialistic.
the other day openly charged, in the
course of a speech in the Senate, that
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania chad been
for years in the employ of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Co" Senator Knox i'm
mediately interrupted him to say: 81
have never been the counsel of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Co., either permanently
OF temporarily, directly or indirectly, dur
ing my professional career I do not
apologize as do not consider that hold
ing such position would require an
apology"
Senator knoxf statement win be ac-
cepted without question. and therefore
Senator Tillman is in the position Of
having made a charge that was abso-
htely without foundation. And as was
the case with Senator Knox, so il is,
doubtless, with many other members of
Congress. A man may be in favor of
straight and iudicious legislation with
respect to railroads, and opposed 70 hasty,
hap-hazard legislation Of the kind pro-
vided for in the Hepburn Rates bill,
without necessarily being in Congress or
out, an "agent of the corporations."

Fraud in PhIladelphia.

Notwithstanding the great work that
was done in Philadelphia, last fall, toward
purging the assessment lists Of the fc-
titious and fraudulent names which the
the Republican machine caused them
TO be padded with, Cor the purpose Of
carrying elections against any kind of
opposition, the lists are not yet free of
fraud. It is stated that they contain
the names of about $4,000 persons who
are not entitled to vote.
A municipal election will be held in
Philadelphia on next Tuesday, but II the
remnant Of the discredited machine left
over from the cyclone Of last November
expects to profit by these fraudulent
names on the assessment lists, Il will find
itself very much mistaken. Tho City
party is still in the field, and the expert
ence it gained in detecting and preventing
fraud at the November election will make
It the more effective In preventing fraud
at next Tuesdays election. The machine
no longer has the police force at It's COM
mand, TO protect il in the work Of carry
ing elections by fraud, but will find its
former agents and protectors arrayed
this year on the side Of an honest ballot
and fair count.
There Is every reason to believe, there
fore, that the coming election in Phila-
delphia will be a fair one, something to
which, up to November last, Philadel-
phia had been a stranger for years. And
with fair election there should not be
a shred Of the old disreputable and dis
credited machine left after the votes arc
counted.

TRICKS PLAYED BY AIR.
Philadelphia Record

Philadelphia Record
One of the experts of the Blue Hill OBJ
servatory, who in connection with the
kite work done at that place has had an
ample opportunity to observe the idiosyn-
crases of the atmosphere, has collected
records Of a number of curious incidents
illustrating the remarkable lifting power
of ascending currents of air While the
cyclonic force Of the air during stress of
wind storms is well known, the fact
that occasionally ascending currents
of air of comparatively great force
exist on days OF apparent serenity has
been overlooked.
On one occasion a small kite, belonging
TO Mr.. Eddy, which had been raised to an
elevation OF about so feet was caught in
such an ascending current and quickly
lifted in an almost vertical direction to a
height of almost 800 feet when a large
cumulous cloud passing in the zenith de-
veloped a cross current which carried the
kite of toward the east. but still ascending
until it had reached an elevation
OF about 900 feet. The kite did
not rise as is usual, developing a pull or
tug on the string attached to IT, but
seemed to be lifted bodily, the string
dangling loosely
Another instance was observed in the
mountains of New Hampshire. A party Of
picnickers seated on the top of one Of the
peaks Of the Sandwich Range were
astonished to sec a small piece of parraine
paper taken from one of the lunch boxes
rise in the most mysterious manner The
day was perfectly clear and there was very
little wind stirring, yet the piece OF paper
measuring some six inches by four inches
fiOated suddenly upward with moderate
velocity and continued to do so until il
became invisible at an elevation estimated
TO have been not less than 100 feet On nrare
instances meteorological kites have been
caught in these upward currents and
maintained for brief intervals in position
directly overhead

Protectionists in this country feel a
special aggravation from the fact that
the people of South American countries
trade so largely with Great Britain Why
not trade with us is their petulant cry.
The answer is easy: This country lays
a heavy tax on trade from South Ameri-
can countries; Great Britain does not.
Why should they not trade where their
trade is untaxed, and therefore the more

The Ship Subsidy bill has passed the
Senate, and will doubtless be approved
by President Roosevelt. Thus, the people
will be taxed in an effort to promote the
shipbuilding industry in this country,
while the business will continue to be

materials Of shipbuilding cost much more
at home than abroad, even including steel

When He Can Use Birch Bark Trumpet

Ernest Thompson Seton IN subscribers Magazine.
The moose calling hunter is one who
with a birch bark trumpet initiates the
below of the COW moose and tempts the
bull forth into plain view for am easy shot.
Though the least sportsmanlike. It Is the
most eiiectual way of getting bull moose.
Fortunately for them IL can be practiced
only for a fortnight OF so at the beginning
Of the season. and in exactly the right
weather and surroundings
Dead calm is essential. If there be
wind from the moose TO you. he cannot
hear your CALL il Il be from YOU TO the
moose he smells you and flies to far regions
In a calm the call can be heard for miles,
so far, indeed, that oven if the moose
came directly and quickly he might be an
hour or more in getting to your stand. l
once called from a hill at sunset and
learned later that my friends four miles
away heard me distinctly. and therefore
a moose, with his keen hearing. might
have heard It five or six miles off.
The experienced hunter begins very low.
as there is always a possibility of 4 bull
lurking in some near thicket. and calls not
mure than once in 10 minutes; some think
every 20 minutes often enough. 1t is
probably too fast, once the response has
come. The bulls answer is a deep. long
long grmt varied by the swapping OF
branches as he plunges forward through
the woods, but stopping at times 70 thrash
some bush in his course.
Il is indeed, one of the most impressive
sights in the animal world when at length
in the last dim aiterglow the much herald
monster heaves his bulk into view. over
topping the shubbery like an elephant.
looming huge and black against the last
streak of red light. No matter how
much we may be expecting it the coming
is always a thrilling surprise We knew
how big he was, yet how startlingly huge
he looks, and these antlers. a heavy bur
den for man, he switches about as an
Indian does the eagle feathers in his hair.
