At an adjourned meeting Of the village
council, held at the council rooms in
the village of Paw Paw, on Monday
evening, July l, the following business
was transacted:
The clerk was instructed to notify the
Falkenau Electrical Construction Co.
that the council had made a change IN
the specifications for the new dam, sub
shutting one 40 horse power motor in
stead of three ID horse power motors, as
specified.
On motion of Mcneil, the Falkenau

under such restrictions as may be put
upon it 10y the fire and water committee
aud the engineer, and that the company
stand good for all breakage ltwas also
voted to sell the pile driver to the Fal-

Gill Net Set in Three Mile Lake

Gill Net Set in Three Mile Lake
Last Monday night, Game Warden
Leach, while in a tour OF investigation
of the lakes in the vicinity of Paw Paw,
discovered a gill net in Three Mile lake
1t was dark and there were no lights on
the lake, but Leach heard voices, and
being of suspicious disposition, went
to see who it was on the lake. As he
approached the parties, guard station
ed on shore gave the alarm, and the VIC
laters pushed their boat to shore and
made good their escape.
Leach found the net, however, which
had been set, and returned with the
same to Paw Paw. II was about 100
feet long and six feet deep. 1t had just
been put in place, so there were no fish
in the net 1t will undoubtedly be con-
demned and confscated by Justice Xii
lefer, who has jurisdiction in the matter.
1t is unfortunate that the guilty parties
could not have been apprehended and
made an example of for such gross
violation of the fish law.

The suggestion of Lieut. Gov. Chanler Of
New York for the democratic nomination
for President next year is open to several
objections. In the first place he lacks repu-
tation and experience. In the second place
the odor of putocracy-and New York plu-
tocracy at that's on his garments. And in
the third place there is nothing to show
that either faction of his party at home
though both supported him for his present
office, wants him promoted.
The argument in support of the sugges
ton is that in his race for lieutenant gov
ernor Mr.. Chanler showed the strength of
a leader. We are told, indeed that had he
been the candidate for governor he would
have won even over Hughes. Where Mr.
Hearst failed he succeeded. The state was
democratic, but would not for personal
reasons accept Mr.. Hearst for governor. 1t
did accept Mr.. Cfanler. standing upon the
same platform with Mr. Hearst for lieu
tenant governor. Why not. therefore. as
New York is essential to democratic sue
cess next year. take for national leader this
man who has shown his ability so recently
to carry the state?
Besides the objections air lady mentioned
there are other difficulties in the way. How
does Mr.. Hearst feel about the matter?
a running mate last year, and, although de-
feated himself, he rejoiced in the latter's
victory. But does that carry with it the
assurance that Mr.. Hearst would be glad to
see Mr. Chanler transferred to Washing
ton?
We may be sure of one thing. and that
is that Mr.. Chanler the candidate with
Mr.. Hearst's support would be ticketed BE-
fore the country as Hearst's man" Peo-
pie would believe that Mr. Chanler in the
White House would be under Mr.. Hearst S
! influence Could such a candidate be
elected? Could be carry New York? There
| Is a vast difference between the lieutenant
governorship of new York and the presl-
dency of the United States.
But where would Mr. Chanler be with
Mr.. Hearst in opposition? The Independ-
| ence League in New York was Hearst
Chanler asset last year. Next year. were
Mr.. Hearst to give the signal, the league
would vote against Mr.. Chanler, and he
could not possibly make up the loss. His
candidacy would resemble Judge Parker s

Hearst at Jamestown.

The views expressed by Mr.. Hearst at
jamestown yesterday are in the main sound.
Organization is both necessity and a
blessing in all lines of endeavOr. But or
ganization of course for good. When cap
ftal organizes to Cypress labor, or labor to
Cypress capital. evil results. And differ
ences should be settled by arbitration. Cap
itsl Is entitled to It's share and labor to its
share of what is produced by both work
ing together There can be no dissent
from such an appraisement of the Ameri-
field of operations.
Equally sound. too. is Mr.. Hearst's cOnten-
ton that In Furnishing evildoers it is too
often the case that the tempted man
usually of small calber-is punished, while
the tempter-usually a man of means and
power-is left undisturbcd. He points to
San Francisco. where SChmitz is in jail.
and effort is on foot TO send the men
who debauched him to keep him company
there. He appauds what is being done. So
should all.
Our mistake undoubtedly has been in NOV
ing too exclusively against the little fell
lows. The men higher up" have had moth
Ing to fear. At any rate, no man who has
protited most by the violations OF the law as
respects the corruptng OF officials and the
optdlU!ile OF special privileges mas been
put in stripes. Heavy fines have been as
sessed. and scores of underings hailed to
court and examined but those at the top
who have pocketed swag a the public ex-
pense are at liberty. and apparently still
IN good standing in the business world.
The same is true in the political world
We all cry out against the debauching of
the ballot box, and the obtaining of office
by the lavish use of money. But the men
who supply the money and through under
strappers direct its circulation in unlawful
channels and profit by what it secures are
never punished. The only persons ever
put in stripes are the little miscreants who
for two dollars or SO a head have repeated
at the ballot box. Some of them are
rounded up and punished and that ends it.
more vigorous policy needs to be in
augurated against the men both in the busi-
ness and in the political world who really
are responsible for the woes from which
the country is suffering. Let men who
bride for business advantages and those
who bride to obtain high office alike be pro-
Ceeded against as criminals and we shall
have ceaner commercial methods and a
cleaner suffrage.

The Open Hospital Window Again

Another life has been sacrificed in this
city to the lack OF means to prevent hospital
patients from casting themselves out of
windows while delirious Several times
In the past such tragedies have been
enacted and those in charge of the hos
pitfalls have been implored to adopt a method
of screening the windows to prevent recur-
rences. Failing action their part the
municipal authorities have been besought
10 take steps to require such protection to
be afforded. Nothing, however, has been
done TO this end. and the latest case Of
death from this cause stands as a fresh
reminder OF urgent duty neglected
In the Sibey Hospital occurrence the fact
that the patient leaped out of a window is
admitted by the institutions officials, who
aver. AT the same time, that the man was
near death at the time and would have
passed away in the course of his disease.
1t Is added with peculiar naivete, that it
Is doubtful whether the fall FASTENED his
death. Such d remarkable statement is
calculated to cause general wonder
II would not he necessary to bar or stoutly
screen all the windows of the hospitals
only those wards i'll which delirious patients
are under treatment would require thus to
be safvguarded. The sentimental objection
that has been raised that this device would
cause the Institutions to resemble jails is
hardly sufficient TO deter the community
from continuing to demand this improve
utvut.
There can he no valid argument in oppo-
sitlUn 10 the screening of the windows in
the face of the fact, often repeated, that
patients can and do cast themselves out of
the openings while irresponsible or crazed
hy pain. II should not be necessary to wait
Tor other deaths in such circumstances to
cause the Commissioners to issue an order
under their police regulation powers com
pelling the screening in every hospital in
the District of the windows in all wards or
rooms in which patients suffering from de-
lirium producing diseases are held under
treatment.
