Vitality A-pIenty In Monasffc Life.
Oh, my friend, you may prate OF
wasted lives and idleness and the para
sites of the church and all that sort of
thing, but fear it is little you know
about the vital forces that are feeding
and sustaining and Strengthening it
every hour of the four and twenty.
If 1 could show you the letters that
came to me from that friar in the south
Of Europe, letters bubbling over with
health and happiness and the sweetest
resignation, ana then show you photo
graph of a young man. in tonsure and
cowl, with the calmest, clearest eyes
that ever looked out from under a
placid brow: if you could have felt of
his knotted biceps and known the grasp
of his small but powerful hand and
heard the peal of his hearty laughter
for his spirit was bubbling over even
there in his serene solitude-you would
perhaps begin to understand why the
monastic life, in spite of its tranquility,
never stagnates and why the more you
contend against the spirit of the re-
ligious orders the more they live and
thrive.-From "a Fin de Steele Friar"
in National Magazine.

The law requires that all stationery
for county officers shall be let by
contract to the lowest bidder. Annu-
ally bids for the supply of certain
stationery have been called for. 1t
is noteworthy. however, that in the
long list of items published, some of
which are rarely if ever called for,
there is an absence of the most I'M
portant items of expense namely,
record books. These amount to be-
tween $500 and $1,000 annually, with
other supplies from outside stationers
and printers, and there is no price
for such things fixed, no contract
let. Every bill paid on this score
for years has been without authority
of law. The county clerk prepares
the notice for publication for bids.
How comes it that this biggest source
of expense is not contracted for ac-
oording to law.

Break up the Combination.

Inc government OF county is al
entirely different affair from the
government of the nation. National
management demands, not only the
ordinary business qualification, but
fixed and settled policy. Hence, it Isl
necessary to a successful admins
tration to have officials of the same
political party, that is men who are
in sympathy with certain we'll
defined policy. 10 have mixture
OF protectionists and free-traders at
the head of affairs would mean a dis
turbance of industry, an upheaval
that would be disastrous to the COM
monwealth. In county management
there is no such danger of mixed
political complexion in governmental
affairs being prejudicial to public
interests. On the contrary, it is
highly important from the stand
point of efficient government that
county officers be not all Of the same
political organization. The evils of
such a one-sided complexion must
be easily suggested to any intelligent
mind. For instance, when all the
court officers are of the same poll
ticaI stripe-and bitterly partisan at
that-the outlook tor an impartial and
satisfactory administration is not as
favorable as it would be if there were
a mIx-up of parties. We may talk as
we please, about keeping the judiciary
out of party polite. 1t is only talk.
AS matter of fact, judges are often
as bitterly partisan as other officials,
and are not aveIse to taking the mi
tiative in party movements, and using
their influence to further the interests
of the party of their choice. Voters
of Amador county, especially those
who are disposed to be independent
rage. should see to it that the three
officers of the court to be elected in
Amador county this fall are not all
the democratic persuasion. Because
that would make stIalght-out demo-
cratic administration, the judge being
a democratic hold lover anyway. Con-
ceding that the candidates for these
offices are evenly balanced as far as
qualifications are concerned, still it
behoves the independent voter from
patriotic motives to cast his ballot for
the republican nominees rather than
the democratic candidates. If all the
republican aspirants we're elected
there would still be mix-up politi-
cally. Voters should ponder over
t his matter thoroughly. Study it in
all its bearings, and vote for the best
interests of the community.

A Triangular Contest.

MILFORD Dennis, who some months
ago announced himself as -indepen-
dent candidate for county assessor,
but who a month or more back left
the county, has reappeared in the
political arena. 1t was reported that
be went to New York, but it seems
he made trip to the new gold fields
of southwestern Nevada. At any
rate he returns to resume his canvass
for the assesseorship on socialistic
lines. He wants to make radical
changes in the valuation of property.
That is about the very thing, that
property holders want to avoid. As a
rule, one who has little or nothing is
apt to place fictitious and exaggerat-
ed value upon the property of others.
canvass from now on. Opinions differ
as to which of the other candidates
he is likely to injure most, Marchant,
the republican nominee, or Jarvis,
the democratic aspirant. Many be-
lieve that the few votes he will
gather in will be about equally
divided. Others think his socialistic
ideas will capture more democrat:
than republicans. We do not believt
his candidacy will cut any ice either
way. 1t will probably cause the CON
sentative which is averse tt
change in the assessors office es
pecially-to support more strongly anc
actively the present incumbent-J
Marchant.

w. r. Proctor republican candidate
for sheriff, this week came to jackson
and Mill make this city his headquar
ters for the balance of the campaign.
He is working like Trojan, and is
gaining in strength daily. He is not
as up-to-date in methods of political
campaigning as some who have made
life study of such matters. He has
not learned the tactics of the smooth
bore Office seekers, IN trying to In
gratiate himself with every body he
meets. He is backward in intruding
where he is not personally acquaint-
ed. This is apt to mislead some to
think he is not affable and sociable;
but as a matter of fact he Is to a
marked degree, and this will be fully
demonstrated before this campaign is
over. Proctor Is making Roadway.
There is No ground for republican
to give support to the other man;
many reasons might be given why
democrats should refuse to vote for
the candidate of their party. We
have suffered enough from the pre-
ceding regime to seek a return to the
methods then prevailing. All sorts OF
lodges are being resorted to to cajoIe
voters to support the democratic can
didate. Promises will be made to
straddIe both sides of question to
that end. Don't be fooled by such
campaigning. Proctor is travelling
the straight path. He simply says
IF elected l Will deal fairly to all,
and lmpartialIy discharge the
duties of my Office. - That is the
sort of man we want. And he Is
going to get there.

1t is doubtful whether either the
republican or democratic nominee for
governor will be able to visit Amador
county. There is no appointment out
at present for either Gillett or Bell
for this county. 1t may be that to-
ward the end of the campaign speak
ing appointment may be arranged for
this section, but nothing definite can
be said just now. A strong effort
will be made to that end. If one GU
bernatorial candidate comes, the
other will almost surely follow.
Should Amador be left out of the
speaking list, it will be the first cam
paign for the last thirty or forty years
that such has been the case.

We are pleased to hear that John E.
Grambart, the republican nominee
for supervisor in the fifth district, is
maxim rustling canvass. He is
doing everything possible to wIn.
Many in that district are inclined to
the opinion that he will win out. He
is a fine man, and would make good
supervisor. The indications are that
it will be very close contest. Burke,
the democratic incumbent, has by no
means soft thing.

MAYOR PROMISED;
OFFICER FAILED
John Sullivan Did Not Appear to Ans
wer Charge of Burglary as Nc
Caskrin Said He Would.

Though Mayor McCaskrin promised
that officer John Sullivan would appear
before Justice d. r. McFarlane to
answer a charge of burglary and lar
ceny, Sullivan failed to appear. and the
warrants were placed in the hands of
Sheriff Heider. Two warrants against
Sullivan, charging him with burglary
and larceny, for the theft of a So dog.
were sworn out by John Kossow. 1911
Fourth avenue. The warrants were
given to Constable Simon Goldberg TO
serve but it seems that instead of serv-
ing the papers, the constable went TO
Mayor McCaskrin. explained the matter
to him, and received the assurance of
the city's executive that Sullivan would
be on hand this morning. Notwithstand-
ing the mayors assurances, however,
Sullivan did not appear in court. so
the papers were taken away from the
constable. "e
The charge against Sullivan is that
he entered shed at Kossow's place at
2 o'clock in the morning, Sept Is, and
took a valuable fox terrier He later
returned the collar, and said that the
dog had been killed. This seems not
to have been the case, and the war
rants resulted.

NOTHING TO THEM
Charges That John Looney Made
Against States Attorney
Were ignored.
SIMPLY ANOTHER FAILURE
Though Grand Jury Spent Nearly a
Week Investigating Matters,
None Are Reported.

Today all the grand jury's report be
came public. and it was shown that the
grand jury, though it spent a week in
vestigating the matter, found no charg-
es against States Attorney J. X. Scott
or any one connected with his office.
1t will be remembered that John Loo
ney, in arguing a petition TO have a
special states attorney appointed by
the circuit court, stated that he had
matters to present which would result
in charges against persons in whom
Mr. Scott was interested. and in charg-
es of malfeasance of office on the part
of the states attorney
He went before tEe grand jury, and
when that body reported to the court,
Judge w H. Gest appointed c. B.
Marshall as special attorney to conduct
the examination of witnesses before
the jury on matters in which States
Attorney Scott was interested. The
jury remained in session a week long
er. but ignored all the matters pre-
scented.
Another Failure of LOOney's.
This action on the part of the grand
jury represents another failure of Looney
Ito wreak vengeance in this manner on
citizens singly or collectively, who
arouse his personal enmity. For some
time there has been hardly grand jury
session that Looney has not been on
hand with an attempt to bring about
indictments against individuals or in
stitutions-such as the Rock Island
Club for instance-but in each case he
has failed. The grand jury in this in
stance had particular instructions from
the court to hear any and all persons
who had complaints, and the fact that
the jury spent six days in this investi-
CATION. indicates that the courts in.
structions were obeyed. The jury had
completed its regular business and it
was stated in the court room that il
was ready to make a report, had not

Opposite Action Instead.
On the other hand, the grand jury's
