ten letter to Representative Tawney.
of Minnesota, chairman Of the house
committee on appropriations, protest
ing vigorously against the action Of
TaWney's committee in recommending
the enactment of a lay reducing the
compensation Of government clerks aft
er they have attained the age Of 65
! years. Corporal Tanner writes par
ticularly in behalf of his comrades Of
the civil war, many of whom, now en-
ployed in the government service,
would be affected seriously by the pro-
| posed reduction in compensation.
Rule Would Hit Some State smen.
Corporal Tanner ventures the as
sertion to TaWney that ''you won't find
a Confederate soldier behind your bill"
and incidentally pays q tribute to q
Confederate brigadier who refused to
permit a single one Of the Union veter-
ans to be disturbed when he had tho
power to remove them The letter
says also: Were the same rule to

then proceeds: "A whole lot Of peo-

McGovern the city will have to de-
pend to a great extent on City En-
gineer Moth. AS far as we know none
of the aldermen has any practical
knowledge of engineering and they
will have to take Mr.. Moths say SO
for how much, If anything, the city
really owes the contractor for extras.
The details of the adjustment will
have to be left with the engineer and
the city should absolutely refuse
to pay McGovern a single cent more
than the engineer says is due him.
Furthermore if it is found upon In
vestigation that the city does really
owe the contractor anything, the
aldermen should call for an exp1ana-
ton in plain untechnical language of
how it happens that the city is in
debt for more than the contract price,
before they pay over cent. Keno
sha can pay it's honest debts, but it
would like to know just how it ac-
cumn1ated them. Allowing extras on
any contract establishes dangerous

THE leaders of the Democratic
party have always indignantly denied
that the party as party could be
held responsible for the local graft.
ers. They repeatedly and Indignantly
declared at the time the scandal in
connection with the passage of the
street railway franchise became pub
lie, that it was the party's misfortune
not its fault, that the ma ority of the
men implicated in the grating we're
members of their party. AS they put
it, "there is no politics il graft" We
believed them then, but we are not so
sure now. The primary election will
decide the point, however. Some of
the men who are charged, in the con-
fession of the man who was made the
scapegoat for all the sins of the
gang, with having received their
price, now assume to represent the
Democratic party, and the public's
estimation of the party's responsible
ity for past misdeeds will depend
largely upon the vote given these
candidates for party favor at the
primaries. A party cannot divorce a
candidate from his record, and in pre-
senting man to the voters as it's rep
resentative it assumes responsibility
for his acts.

IT is the duty of every citizen to in
vestigate the records of the men for
whom he proposes to vote, and this
applies especially to the large number
of voters who have been residents OF
the city only a year or two. The old
timers who know the candidates are
not going to make any mistakes, but
just at this crisis the men "who mean
well but don't know" are apt to give
the city setback that it will not re-
cover from in years.

ZION is passing through great
changes and nowhere is this shown
more plainly than in the attitude of
the new overseer, and indeed of the
people themselves, towards Dowie.
Rhe financial management of the city
has been openly criticised from the
pulpits of the church and more re-
markab1e still the criticisms have
been accepted without protest by the
Dowieites. A few years ago any
questioning of the infallibility of DIR.
Dowie's judgments would have been
heresy unspeakable and it would have
been a brave man who ventured on
anything of the kind in his city of
Zion. Such plain speaking would
not have been tolerated for moment
then, and any leader who attempted
anything of the kind would have
found himself outside the fold in short
order. Now everything is changed.
There is no supreme unquestioned
head and the chief danger that seems
to threaten the stability of the church
at present is bitter war for
supremacy among the minor leaders.
It is too much to expect that the men
who have held pace and power under
Dowie will submit themselves to new
leaders without protest. g flA Az
