POSSIBLE GRAFT
POLICE FORCE is PLACING ITSELF
in SUSPICIOUS ATTITUDE.
Chief Thinks He Must "Stand in"
With Fences, and Star Chamber
Legislation Leads 70 Conditions
That are Conductive to Graft.
Publicity the Remedy.

A scandal is atloat relative to the
health Office that bears signs OF an un.
healthy city government, and tendency
to graft, suspicion OF grating, that has
become somewhat notorious since the
beginning of the year, and betokens a
condition OF affairs that the HERALD does
not believe Mayor Lindstrom will ap.
prove.
The city councilmen appear to be in
su IN ignorance of onr system of goy-
ernment as to believe thev are cit" in
any old place or time. We suggest as a
remedy that each meeting of the board
be opened by reading few sections of
the constitution of the United States and
the State OF Washington, and if neees.
sarv, short lecture on the powers and
duties Of counclmen and other legisla.
tive bodies.
Councilmen aside from their open ses.
sons have no more authority than any
other citizens, and it has been through a
msconception of this fundamental doc.
trine that the scandal referred to has be.
come possible.
The story is, that the council-in a
secret and unlawful sesson-decided that
inmates OF houses OF ill-fame be subjected
to bi-monthly examinations. and an in.
mate found without clean bill OF health
be subject-not to the law-to the whim
OF the police.
1t was the pu, port OF this illegal order
to permit the issuance OF such health
certificates by any physician, but an
over Jealous officer the other night en-.
tered one of those houses and insisted
that the certificate shown him was no
good that it must be from the health
officer, and threatened arrest unless such
certificate was secured. The woman,
already beyond the pale OF the law, wilt
ed, of course.
That there should be a diversity of
opinion on this subject among the physi.
clans; that it may be question as to
the legality OF such enforced examina-
tions may be subjects for discussion, but,
the pre-. eminent fact remains that the
city council has absolutely no authority
to make laws outside OF its regular ses-
sious, record OF which must appear.
1t will not co to smile this proposition
down with the statement that some
things must be done "under cover" or
Illegally. To DO so would encourage the
precedent OF star chamber government
that is most obnoxious to American
ideas. The council, and mayor owe it to
themselves to probe this scandal to the
bottom, and punish the guilty parties, if
any there be, they owe it to their con-
stituents to discontinue those secret
meetings, and issuance OF private orders.
Once year the American people, on
July Fourth, take occasion to celebrate
government by the people" and Aber.
deem cannot be relied upon to change the
program by permitting the enactment of
laws by secret conclave. Come out in
the open, or quit.

Hon. s. =. Watts, of Abbeville,

A Crying Necessity.

The Drainage Commission OF
the Franklin Drainage District,
says the Watchman, should have
a meeting and provide for the pre-
servation of the splendid canal,
which the people of franklin and
vicinity taxed themselves to con-
struct, provided the ordinance Gre
atlng that body gives 1t the right
to spend anything for maintenance
of the waterway. The canal is
almost covered with lilies from
one end to the other, and oyer
banging willows line its banks.
The former will ill the stream and
render it Ineffective if something
is not done to protect it, There
il no scarcity of money--ln fact
the commission will have more
than enough to cancel the next
bond at it's maturity period, with
a large surplus left for such other
purposes as the commission may
deem expedient.
The work Of keeping the stream
clean has been done by private
subscription for the past three
years, and It is neither fair nor
right to pay taxes for the accom-
plishment of certain work and
be forced for satisfactlOD's sake
% put forth another amount for
the same purpose.
IL tho ordinance does not give
the commission authority to spend
any money for another purpose
than the retirement of the bonds,
then call in as many as possible
and as quick as it can be done,
and let this special tax expire.
The canal means a great deal to
Franklin and its people, and i
should be protected from destruc-
ton by the agencies which are
working rapidly towards that end.

We learn that some of our cap
itallsts intend investing some
money in the further drilling of
the Charent0n oil well, which was
abandoned about two years ago
at the depth Of about 1900 feet.
A number of the old stockholders
believe that oil will be found, and
are willing to put up their capital
to drill the well deeper. This is
good news indeed, as gusher at
Charenton would be a great thing
for Franklin Banner.

French Proverb That Proves Itself

There is a French proverb, Tobacco

tran the average. Man is the only be-
ing that smokes. Monkeys have imi-
tated mar in all other ways, even ac-
curing a fondness for liquors, but they
never could be taught smoking. Smok.
ing is a distinctly masculine pleasure,
and when man has a good cigar like

he is care free and ready for any trou-
