DRHAMMONDS REMEDY FOR

Thinks Should Serve Six Years in the
State Without any Pay Like 0ldeu Times.
DIR. John H. Hammond, for several
years the resident physicians assistant
at the Delaware State Hospital at Farm
hurst, but now a resident of George
town, has been close observer and a
student of the political conditions OF
Sussex County. 1t was reported OF the
doctor that he had thought out rem
edy for bribery at elections which
would knock into cooked hat all OF
Editor Houston's fondest dreams
about restoring absolutely pure cleo
tions in Delaware. An Evening Jour-
nal representative called upon DIR.
Hammond and asked if he had any OBJ
iections to making known his remedy,
The doctor was of the Eagle Hotel OF
which he is one of the proprietors.
He did not want to be quoted in the
newspapers, but his remedy was so en-
tirely unique that the Journal man
took the liberty in this instance:
'That for period of six years every
man nominated and elected to any
public office be pledged to serve wholly
without salary. fees, or material re-
muneration. In other words that 6
man should serve his State and county
lust as he was called upon to do a
Valley Forge, without any hope OF re
ward, even food or clothing, or IN 1861
when it meant almost certain sacrifice
of life. The great trouble with politics
in lower Delaware is that practically
every man who travels about during
the campaign, making stump speeches
or circulating about lands some klno
of an Office and some men have beef
known to actually change their polite
and about face for some petty office
The great mass of voters notice al
this. They see that every spark
patriotism is removed from the servlc
of the government or of the sovereig
State, and that its just the choices
plum that can be landed so far as tn
leaders and workers are concerned
The poor man reasons that if A. B. an
W. q. can afford to sell themselves fc
Office and graft, that all they'll eve
get out of it is what they can pull thei
way on election day, and that's all any
body is in it for. Take patriotism
and love of liberty and independent
out of politics and you cannot ste
bribery though you move tt
earth. There'll be some way of bu.
ing and selling votes, paying store bill

\ LAW NEEDED IN TEXAs.

Recently there occurred in a Jersy
City court "A scene that illustrated
two things at once; first, that there
is much tender sympathy and gener-
age man. and that New Jersey has a
law that Texas needs to have badly,
says the Houston Chronicle. A wo-
man with three little children had
been evicted from a rented house for
not paying rent Her husband had
deserted her and when the judge. as
the law required, gave Judgment for
the landlord the poor woman broke
down and exclaimed, Where shall
go?' The judge took his hat, drop
ped d five-dollar bin into it and di-
rected the court officers to pass 1t
around the room. and 1t came back
with $50 in it.
The poor woman offered it to the
attorney of the landlord for her back
rent, but. instead of taking it he not
only declined it. but offered to pay
| SIG, or one months rent for her
| Overwhelmed with gratitude the
deserted wife dropped on her knees
and prayed Gods blessing on the
generous men who had assisted hel
when he who was nearest to her hat
deserted her. The judge at once di
rected the police to find the HUSBAND
and lock him up.
No doubt just as many generous
men could have been found in TeXa!
to come TO the rescue of needy wo
man. but there is no law in Texas
whereby the husband could hav,
been locked up or punished in an,
way. He, under such circumstance
in Texas. could have stood in tn

Arizona Mining Mans Opinion of the
Border Troubles.

Oklahoma City, Okla, June &c. F.
Sparrow, formerly a resident Of this
city but now superintendent of the
mines of the Arizona Mining and De
velopment company with headquarters
at Naco. Ariz., reached this city last
night, coming here to attend the an
nual meeting of the company.
Upon his arrival Mr.. Sparrow was in
terviewed relative to the existing trou-
bles between the Mexicans and Ameri-
cans at Cananea, which is located near
the mines of his company. He said that
reports from his office say that there Is
no chance of trouble in that camp all
though many workmen came across the
line as there is still some shooting going
on at Cananea and only the Mexican
rurales are there. He says that beside
the Metcalf brothers, II Americans and
so to IS Mexicans have been killed
Asked his opinion as to the outcome
of the trouble he said:
There will always be trouble down
there. now that it has started until it
is settled by a war between the United
States and Mexico.

HASN'T YET ACCEPTED.
But It Is Pretty Certain Mr.. Coburn
VIII.

F. D. Coburn has not yet sent to
Governor Hoch his letter accepting
the office of United states senator,
but it is believed that he will not re-
fuse the office. It is practically GER
tain that he will accept.
Governor Hoch is out of town to-
day, making a commencement speech
a Campbell college, at Holton.
Secretary COburn commenced to
hear from the grass roots today.
Scores of letters came in, and a
sprinkling of kilograms, from the
common people" of Kansas. People
OF whom Mr.. Coburn has never heard
wrote to congratulate him and urge
him to take the place.
Governor Hoch, too. has been re-
ceiving a great many letters congrat-
ulating him on his good judgment in
appointing Coburn.
J. w Robson, president of the
State Society Of Agriculture. said to-
day:
''Coburn is the kind of a man we
want in the senate. and 7 am sure
that the board viii allow his place to
remain vacant until after the legis-
lature elects a senator, so that we can
get him back If there is any oppor-
tunity. But I am of the opinion that
if Coburn accepts the office of SEN
ator he viii never be secretary of the
society Of agriculture again. He win
be elected by the legislature to Bur
tons term. and I don't think the op-
position win be very strenuous, either.
I think it will grow less and less as
the time for the election approaches -

CHICAGO BEARS DOWN.
Another Department Gets After the
Packing Houses.

Chicago, June 6.=Building Com
missioner Bartzen and 12 deputy
building inspectors went to the stock
yards today to make an inspection of
every building in the place. The com
missioner declared before leaving the
city hall that ne would compel the
packers TO correct every violation Of
the building ordinances that might be
found. The first place visited was the
hog plant of one of the large packing
houses and it was found that the stair
ways and fire escapes were not suf-
ficiently ample for the number of en-
ployes and the owners of the plant
were instructed to put from one to
two stairways in all the buildings Of
the plant. They promised to do so at
once.
Commissioner Bartzen personally
went to the hog killing department or
one Of the large packing houses and
described the condition he found there
''as filthy and dirty" He character
lied the room as "a dirty hole. unfit
for the uses to which 1T is put From
the hog killing department he went to
the portion of the plant where cattle
are killed and dressed. Here the walls
were covered with calcimine scarcely
dry. After going through this build
ing the commissioner left for his office
in the city hall. He said before leav-
ing the stock yards that there is not a
modern building in the entire district
devoted to the packing industry. The
majority of them, he declared. "are
diiapidated, filthy and unfit for such
use as Is made of them
He directed that the inspection
should be Of the most thorough char
acter and the work will not be COM
pleted inside of four or five days.

WHAT He DID SAY.

Oklahoma City, Ok, June Sc F.

of the Arizona Mining Development
company, who has just returned from
Naco, Ariz.. today denied the truth Of
a newspaper interview, credited to him
in which he was asserted to have pre-
dicted war between the United States
and Mexico over the troubles between
the Mexicans and Americans at Can
anea.
To the Associated Press today Mr.
Sparrow said: What I did say was
that there is a number of Americans on
this side of the border and adjacent to
trouble between the two countries to
secure a settlement Of labor difficult
ties and that unless the Mexican gov
ernment took the matter Immediately
in hand there would be war. But I
