Office Seeking

In an editorial entitled Two
New York Men" the Chicago
Tribune discusses the qualifications
of candidates Hughes and Hearst
for the gubernat0rial office and
their respective prospects of win
ming. 1t is not the purpose of this
article TO follow that discussion i'm
detail or TO guess at the result of
the strenuous campaign that will
shake up the Empire State and at
tract attention from-every quarter
during the next five weeks. But
the Tribune suggests one point on
which we are irresistibly tempted
Uo submit few comments. 1t
relates to that great and venerable
industry called oflice-seeking. as to
which our Chicago contemporary
says: I'm Mr.. Hughes case the
Office seeks the man. In Mr..
Hcarst's case the man seeks the
Office and has long sought for
various Offices"
When did tGc seeking of an office
or any other honor become AN Of
fensel When did it become a
special credit to citizen to keep
out of the list of Office -seekersl
Have not many men who have filled
high positions in the national SER
vice and under State governments
gained those offices by diligent,
persistent seckingl Has the State
of Illinois ever had United States
Senator who did not seek election.
Is it not fact that Abraham Lin
coin was, in adignified way, seeker
for the Presidency 1t has passed
into history that in the great Joint
campaign of Lincoln and Douglas,
Lincoln said to a friend who told
him that If he expressed certain
opinion he would be defeated for
the Senate: That may be: but il
will make me President. Did not
Lincoln go into the State of New
York in the winter of 1S59-6O,
into the baiiwick of his most form
idable rival, William III. Seward,
and deliver the address that turned
the scale in his favorl Has the
Tribune forgotten that the present
incumbent of the Chief Magistracy,
and the most popular of all our
Presidents, has been an honest,
open, and ardent ofiiceseeker for
many years. His campaign for
governor of New York in 1898 and
his quest for the Republican Presi-
dental nomination in 1904 were in
strict accord with his ideas OF po-
litical and personal propriety.
The vindication of his views and
practices in this regard is over
whelming proof that the people
like 10 see man who wants office
go after it, and not wait in seclusion
for the Office to come to him. Vice
President Fairbanks is following
President Roosevelt's example.
If he should fail to reach the goal,
his failure will not be occasioned
by his assiduity in seeking it

Rocket for a long time, and the
kerdicts were expected in each
Ease.
4 When Judge T. w, Harrison
resumed the bench Saturday, he
VAS only called upon to enter two
brders on the law side of the docket.
The first case was a suit entered
by Henry Gibson VS.. Baltimore &
Ohio X. II. Co., for damages for
battle claimed to have been killed
BY the railway company. The
company entered a plea in abate-
hent, which was denied, and then
4ntered a general plea of not guilty,
Ind the case was continued To the
8ext term.
Mrs. Sarah Frasier was appoint
ed guardian for Miss Catherine
Woodward, a minor, and gave the
required bond.
A large number of Chancery
bases were called, one of the most
Interesting being the case of Craw-
sord's Administrator VS.. Smith S
Executor.
A decree was entered naming
hose against whom Judgment was
Rntered for certain proportions of
the debt, and giving them thirty
Jays in which To make settlement.
The ruling Of the court in regard
10 the amounts TO be assessed
tgainst the different pieces of prop
frty is of especial interest. 1t was
Shown that the purchasers of the
broperty have improved their land
by valuable buildings, etc. and the
fourt was asked to rule as To
whether the improvements could
b. subjected to the debt. The court
held that the basis of computation
Should be the price paid for the
hnd, and that the improvements
Should not figure in the assessments.
That ruling resulted in the amount
8f the debt being distributed among
About dozen different pieces of
property, whereas, if the court had
held that the improvements were
Subject to the debt, all of the sum
Would probably have been collected
from one property owner.
This case, which has occupied q
position in the Chancery docket fol
long time, reads almost like q
piece of fiction.
\ large bulk of real estate was
eft to the Smith estate here by the
eath of relative, and the prop
frty was divided amoung the seve
fal heirs in their legal proportion
Much of the property changed
bands, and passed to others of nC
relation. Many years afterwarC
: will wasdiscovered which changed
he entire disposition of the prop
frty, and some of those who haC
Secured property under the admin
StratorShip were forced to give i
hp
All of the heirs made good tn,
amounts except one, and hence thi
fuit. And those who purchase,
property from him are now bein!
forced to pay tw.cc for it.

he had returned to Linden. Three

how he had written and offered his
