ONE thing is very sure, the commit
tee could not be doing two pieces OF
work at the same time and II they
were on special committee work they
were not on legislative work, or If they
were on legislative work they had nc
right to double pay. Precedent makes
no difference and the fact that several
on the committee refused TO take dou-
BILE pay at the time shows that there
was a reasonable doubt as to its pro-
priety. The fact that it is not a new
thing does not mean that 1t is not a
bad thing.-Florence Times.
II is surprising how unreasonable
some people can be in discussing that
alleged double pay matter. In the case
of our contemporary above, we would
think that it would be deferred by a
fear that it's readers have ordinary
common sense and would not swallow
such an argument as it would try tC
stuff them with. Ordinary Legislative
work, whether on the floor of the house
or in the committee rooms is supposed
to be transacted while the house is ir
session. Messrs Lyon and Christen-
sen did a great deal of work while the
house was not in session. They also
discharged their legislative and specia
committee duties at the same time
We do not understand that they neg"
lected either duty. But there is nc
doubt of the fact that they worked. IL
is true that some of the members of the
special committee refused to accep,
pay for committee work during the
session; but it should not be forgotten
that with the exception of Messrs
Lyon and Christensen the committee
did not do much work at any time
and there we fear, is the real rub. II
Messrs. Lyon and Christensen had LEI
matters rock as did certain other mem
bers of the committee, very likely the
Times would not only have been willing
for them TO take double pay; but II
would have had no opposition to Lyons
election as attorney general beside
According to the arguments of some
of our contemporaries, if a lawyer
member of the general assembly should
earn fee from a client at an odd houl
while the general assembly is in ses'
sion. he should make no charge.

THERE are a great many people VINO
are unable to understand why there was
no thorough personal investigation OF
the members of the former board OF
dispensary directors. AS to what the
members of the committee, other than
Messrs. Lyon and Christensen would
have done, Is a matter of speculation;
hut II is Just as we'll not to forget that
the action Of Governor Hayward had
the effect of putting a stop to the COM
mittee's efforts in this direction. I'M
mediately after the Parker testimony
and so far as is known, without any
intimation of a desire on the part oi
the committee for such a proceeding
Governor Hayward ordered the attor-
ney general to prosecute. That ended
the matter so far as the members OIL
the state board were concerned. The
governors letter to the attorney gen.
eral implied charges and the accused
could not be forced to testify under the
constitution Even the committee could
not make them give testimony that
might tend to incriminate them. That
the action of the governor was prema-
ture there is very little ground for
question The testimony of Mr.. Par
ker was very important; but II was
every bit hearsay and would not have
been sufficient to convict a negro loaf
er of simple assault-not before jury
sworn to render a verdict in accord
ance with the law and the evidence
The best that can be said about this
testimony is that it gave specific cor
roboration of facts that the public al
ready knew to be true. If the govern
or had been less precipitate the mem
bers of the state board would have no
doubt been induced to throw a little
more indirect light on the situation
But as we understand it the committee
or at least Messrs. Lyon and Christen-
sen, had nothing to do with the butting
in of the governor.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

The political situation in this county
has been remarkably quiet up to this
time and continues so with very little
prospects of startling changes In the
near future 1t must be admitted, now
ever, that predictions as to what may
take place within the next few weeks
would be more or less hazardous.
AS we see 1t, there are two pretty
we'll defined political camps In TINS
county, their interest centerlng espe-
ciaIly on the legislative situation. One
of these camps desires the nomination
of candidates for the house who Will
stand for the abolition of the state
dispensary regardless of what system
NAV be proposed as a substitute, ana
the other desires the nomination or
candidates who will uphold the state
dispensary in some form-if not as IL
now exists then with remodeled ma
chinery by which 1t Is believed 1t can
be conducted with less scandal than
has heretofore attended 1t.
The people who believe In uphold
ing the dispensary have called a con-
ference to be held in the court mouse
next Monday. There has been good
deal of speculation as to what they VIII
do-whether nominate candidates rep
resentative of their views, or merely
adopt resolutions and taking steps
looking to united action. There have
been some rumors to the effect that
various citizens have been approached
TO allow the use of their names as dis
dispensary candidates; that a ticket
has been practically agreed upon in
whole or in part, and other rumors TO
the effect that there will be no nomi-
nations or suggestions at all.
On the other hand, the people VINO
favor the wiping out Of the dispensary
are desirous of candidates to repre-
sent their views of the situation. Gen
orally they endorse the course OF the
representatives who have been I'm the
house during the past two years, and
are looking for candidates who are
willing to carry out the same pro-
gramme.
So the matter seems to stand at the
present time, and the probability Is
that If there are any important de-
developments in the matter of legisla-
tive representation they will be along
the lines indicated I'm the foregoing.

beyond doubt, was political. Some
time elapsed before the police were

that she was a Hebrew, named Cecilia
Shabad, and a former member of the
