Assessors Hold Over.

The present assessors hold ovel
to next year, so that the question
of the election of new assessor,
will not arise till then. Secretary
of State Laylin is of the opinion
that the courts will hold that the
office of assessors has not been
abolished, and that if no provision
for election is made, the township
trustees will appoint in the country
and county auditors in the cities.

Under Water 23 Minutes.

Washington, July 14.-One OF
the most remarkable cases of resus.
citation ever reported to the life
saving service has just been sent
in by Knowles, superintendent OF
the third district.
The case is that of Robert Moon
ey, who was thrown into the water
neal Wakefield, r. l., on July 4,
by the capslzing of boat, and,
according to the official report,
remained under water for 90
minutes.
When first aid was given from
three and one-half quarts to gal
Ion of water was expelled from
the lungs. A second operation
brought another pint of water
from Mooney, who bore all the ap-
pearance of drowned man.
Artificial respiration was employ
ed for an hour and 4S minutes be-
fore the first signs of returning
consciousness were apparent.
Friction and hot stones were then
applied and the bellows movement
con tinued. The patient did not
recover complete consciousness

This is the day when men in
high places are being caught in

One thing is sure, there'd be
some surprising shifting in posi-
tion among the men who are play
ing the game of life. Many who
are now serenely occupying the
seatsof the mighty would be shat
tered In their fall. while others
who have been unnoticed in their
scurity would be found on high.
Where would you land in the
shuttle?
Tie large majority of people
know what is right and what is
wrong. But there are plenty who
take as their standard the saying,
"a thing is right until you're
caught doing it," This is the
stumbling block that has caused
the fall of some men who, until
lately, had occupied positions that
commanded the envy of a lot of
other folks. But it happened that
they were found out, and the re-
suit is they're miserable and wish
ing they hadn't done it.
But the truth is that they are
wishing this not so much because
they have wronged others as be-
cause they have lost the respect of
their fellowm en-. Not very high
ethical reason, but one that comes
very near the truth. For every
man longs for the respect of
others. Having to choose between
the two he,d rather loose his for
tune than this respect.
When the world turns cold

But once let that cloak be torn

Corruptionists and Graft
erS.

1t is a matter of great satisfac.
tion to Democrats that none of
their leaders have been found j.
Identified with the numerous cor
ruption, grating and fraud scan
dals so far exposed. The reason
for this is that the Democratic
voters look much more closely into
the character of those who they
select to represent them and keep
much closer watch of officials doing
than the rank and file of the Re
publican party does. Direct prim-
aries are the rule in the DemOcra-
tic party while with the Republi-
cans corrupt caucus system is still
almost universally maintained.
Republican nominations are almost
always manipulated by the inner
ring of leaders who give the word
that the ring candidates must be
supported by the followers of the
machine and are enabled to force
such nominations in most cases
through the power of public
plunder. The Republican voter
who refuses to register the choice
of the machine leaders is marked
for political slar ghter, if he should
be bold enough to offer himself as
a candidate. In the distribution
of national, state and local offices
the Republican reformer has no
part or lot. The meanest grafters
in the ranks are preferred to the
honest and independent voter who
dares to dispute with the Repuhli-
can boss the availibity or honesty
of his selections.
Under such IA system, in which
cold cash and patronage of office
are the chief handspring, it natu-
rally follows that corruptionists
and grafters have been selected for
appointlve offices to the great scan
dal OF the Republican party and
its loss of the respect of most hon

Offices, both national and state,
wlth many most unworthy recipi-
ents, many of those elected to con
gress and the state legislatures
have deliberately refused to carry
out platform promises, or the wall
of their constituents. This has
been going on for years, until the
exposures came and the people can
be fooled no longer.
The voters of the United States
are now in bonse-cleaning mood
and it will be difficult, if not dan
gerous, TO try and get them to

Morris X. Jesup, the philantropist,
took him up at that time. Mr.. Jesup
gave him $500 to help him in the fight
and $l50 to reimburse him for his ex-
penditures already made.
Since that time Mr.. Jesup has taken
q deep interest in the Comstock cru
sades and has given his money free
ly. A meeting was held at Mr.. Jesup's
house In 1873 by prominent citizens,
the New York Society for the Sup
preston of Vice was formed and Mr..
Comstock was engaged as it's agent at
a regular salary.
A determined attack on the pub
fishers and vendors of obscene litera-
ture and pictures was at once begun,
and at fitting time, for never had
there been SO many and such brazen
violations of the laws of the land and
decency as at that time. ADVERTISE
ments were boldly printed in the pa
pers and thousands of circulars were
distributed by the dealers, many of the
circulars being placed in the hands Of
children as they left school. An in
effective law was passed in 1872
against the use of the mails for i'm
moral purposes, but it accomplished
nothing, and Mr.. Comstock endeavored

The Senator and his fellow judges
had read stories In the great Golfers
short story contest of last year until
their eyes were almost blind. their
brains almost too weary for consecu
tive thought and their ideas almost
too chaotic from the long continued
strain to allow an unbiased decision
when the distinguished statesman.
scholar took from the table the last OF
the many thousands OF manuscripts
sent in, lighted fresh Havana, and
settled himself wearily in the depths
of his big arm chair.
The sigh Of satisfaction was still
more pronounced, when, as he tore
open the enselope, he found but a few
pages of typewriter matter, scarcely
q thousand words in all, and his
"Thank Heaven!" was re-eoched by his
companions as they also realized that
q short half hour would complete their
weeks Of self-imposed labor.
There had been silence in the rom
for several minutes, while the others
were thinking Of the tumble of ideas
that would for months occupy their
minds where love and war, humor and
pathos had created a heterogeneous
mass
Many Of the stories submitted had
been of very high order Of merit
some of the very highest-and final
decision would, they realized, tax to
the utmost their ability to select.
Some had been witty and brilliant,
some able but verbose, but many, very
many, had proven tedious and trashy,
and they each and all agreed they
would never again care to read even
the headlines of any "Short Story"
'God!" exclaimed the Senator, half
reyerently, half profanely, "and so this
was the tragic end of our dear chum
OF old II, one of the best and bravest
fellows who ever lived"
For the honor of old Harvard, gen.
tlemen," bowling gravely to his asso-
ciates, "let me read aloud this last of
our short stories"
He sauntered into Station II of the
Kire Department, late one stormy af-
tHrnoon in December, small, gray
haired, rather weakened specimen of
humanity, looking as though he had
not made the acquaintance of a square
Nneal for many days. A close observer,
however, would have noticed that his
eyes were very brigh and keen, his

I tempted to asceLd only to be driven
back with scorched hair and blistered
hands.
A cry from the crowd to the right
attracted the attention of firemen and
spectators, and all held their breath,
as little old man was seen. climbing,
with the agility of a cat, the galvan-
lied waterspout on the corner of the
building. Reaching the top and grasp
ing the cornice, he rapidly worked
himself along until he was directly
over the open window. He must have
had a wonderfully correct eye, for as
he seemed to expect, his left foot
reached just to the top of the scaling
ladder below him. Placing his foot
firmly upon the slight support, he re-
leased first one hand and then the
other, sliding them along the rough
brick side of the building, as IL
grasping an imaginary rope. Cau-
tiously lowering himself to a STOPPING
position, he suddenly threw himself
inside the open window, as the ladder,
burned near the middle, fell to the
ground with a crash. With scarce a
moments loss of time he reappeared
and piled several thick books upon the
window sill. Then with the cE:ld
strapped tightly upon his back, he bal
anced carefully upon these, reached
up and again grasped the cornice. The
firemen at once realized what a des-
perate plan he was about to attempt
and quickly placed another ladder Just
around the corner of the building, not
yet reached by the flames. Slowly and
carefully the old man, with his pre-
cious burden clinging to his shoulders,
worked his way along the insecure
gutter, his progress at times painfully
retarded and the distance seemed
great. Would he beat the flames in
the race? Would he be able to hold
out, encumbered as he was? The great
crowd below held its breath. Finally
he clutched the projection at the cor
ner and swung his feet upon the
rounds Of the ladder. Long tongues
of fire leaped from the room he had so
lately occupied and seemed to be strik-
ing at the rescuer and tho rescued. In
vicious though impotent fury, but
strong and willing hands met and 70
lieved the old man Of his burden and
Charlevoix county herald., 1906-02-10

round the room, and his young con-
testant showed no little chagrin, for
this had been his favorite exhibition,
which none of his associates had been
able to accomplish.
The old fellow continued unconcern-
edly: "Now if it were a trial of
strength, perhaps some of you younger
fellows could tire the old man out"
Then springing like cat, he caught
with his right hand one of the rounds
OF q ladder by which the men climbed
to the second story and pulled him.
self up with a single arm. Lowering
himself, he repeated this Ginning"
operation several times with great
rapidity, first with one arm and then
the other. Dropping to the floor he
strolled over to a pair of 100 pound
iron dumb-bells and began handling
the heavy weights as if they were hol-
low or made Of wood, passing the bells
from hand to hand, posing them on
high without a tremor, and finally lay
ing them down without even the no.
ticeable quickening of his breath.
The men looked sharply at one an
other. Not the best of them could give
such an exhibition of strength. The
sergeant was just growing, 'Old man,
who might you be, anyway" when the
alarm gong sounded, the firemen
sprang to their places and the little
old athlete was temporarily forgotten.
A close observer, however, might have
noted him dart out of the door and
vanish around the corner with the
speed Of trained runner.
The fire was in a lately finished
apartment house and was we'll under
way when the engines arrived. Lad
ders were quickly placed against the
building, and the brave firemen made
many trips, up and down, rescuing the
frightened occupants. Finally all the
inmates appeared to be saved and ef-
forts were directed toward extinguish-
ing the fire or preventing its spread.
Suddenly, everyone was startled by
the wild screams Of a child, and lit
tie girl, Of not more than ten years,
whose scanty apparel gave evidence
that she had but just awakened, appear
ed at window of the top floor, wiring
ing her little hands and crying in ex-
treme terror, as we'll she might, for the
fierce flames were bursting from all the
lower floors of the building. Ladders
were set beneath her window, and

aided his evidently failing strength
down the steep incline.
But the pitcher had been to the well
once too often and even while the
cheers and words OF encouragement
were sounding in his ears, the life
blood gushed from his mouth, and
sinking heavily to the ground MUIR
INJURED, "Hold tight, little one," and
the brave old heart suddenly ceased
its busy work.
Hes dead, the dear old fellow, saw

first, had watched the scene with an
intense interest, bent over the body,

ing crowd, al. r. H., Harvard. II,
adding revently as he removed his tall
hat:

To their credit. there were real tears
in the eyes of these big, strong men OF
the world, as in silence they touched
glasses with the Senator to the men,
ory of that classmate, whose soul was
still marching on, and whose heroic
death had added another star to old
Harvard's glory.

to have more stringent bill put
through. Mr.. Jesup betrayed his ex-
penses to Washington and Senator
Buckingham, of Connecticut. intro
duced the measure in the Senate and
Clinton l.. Merriam in the House. In
tense opposition was met from pow
erful lobby Of publishers, but the bill
got through by small margin, and
with the aid Of Speaker James G..
Blaine, was among the last taken up
and passed on the night Of the final
day OF the session of 1873.
He Refused the Salary.
After the law went into effect Sena-
tor buckingham asked Mr.. Comstoch
to take position as postoffice inspect
or to see that it was enforced. He ac-
cepted the position, but declined the
salary, on the ground that he might be
placed under obligations to politicians,
and on March .EtE, 1873, was made a
special agent of the department, which
commission has been renewed each
year since then.
So severe was the blow dealt the pub
fishers of the profitable Sub rosa lit
erature that desperate efforts were made
to have the law repealed, and in 1887
a petition containing 10000 names and
headed by Robert G. Ingersoll, backed
by unlimited money and the most
adroit lobbyists, was presented to Con-
gress asking that the restrictions be
removed. Mr.. Comstock appeared
alone before the House committee
which had the repeating measure and
in the face Of severe and brutal con-
demnation was successful in prevent
ing favorable action. AS part of tho
campaign against him book entitled
"The Life and Crimes Of Anthony Com,
stock" was published, and seventeen
thousand copies distributed. 1t was
stated that he himself was a dealer
in the very things against which he
waged war, and that he had been ar
rested by five district attorneys, but
he kept on his way, and never once let
up in the struggle with evil.
Mr.. Comstock is still a postoffice
agent without pay. He is allowed five
cents per mile mileage and 81 so per
day witness fees while attending courts
as a witness, but these payments he
turns into the treasury Of the society
for which he is agent. In this way he
has turned over more than 1000
which he might have kept.
The work which Anthony Comstock
has accomplished and is doing to-day
is of incalculable benefit to the moral
fibre OF the maturing citizenship OF the
Republic. The man Is one OF Gods
appointed.
