AS to NJ. ID. Miller

Because one Of the Democrats
friends expressed to ye editor
some concern in regard to the
election of Ross Hume as MEM
ber of the school board in the Sd
Ward our attention was particu-
larly drawn to this part of the
campaign. The same friend has
previously expressed a belief
that the school board should be
out of politics, in order that the
best man might be chosen for it,
dispassionately and without par
tisanry.
In connection with this matter,
we could not help but revert in
our thoughts to the candidacy Of
NJ. d. Miller for this office. Mr..
Miller was placed upon the
ticket without solicitation on his
part, we understand, through
the statutory right to fill vacan
cies when the candidate nomiaa.
ted in the primary will not make
the race. He has taught school
more years than Ross Hume has
lived, and has a child in our pubE
lie school at this time.
Furthermore, Mr.. Miller has a
standing in the community above
any question. He is a man Of
strong views and says things
strongly, which sometimes makes
him unfriends. He is of rugged
honesty and:his business ability
is evident to us all. Whenever
ar d wherever a nickel is spent in
the management of our city
schools, M. D.lMiller, if a mem
be- of the board will know where
it went, why it was spent, and
just why the purchase could not
be made for four cents.
Another consideration that is
really to MIR. Miller's credit with
the thoughtful is that he will
stand up for what he sees as
right without any reference to
any considerations whatever.
Many men would be cautious in
taxing a stand for what they be.
lieve to be the right for fear of
hurting their business, or losing
friends and possible votes. 1t is
not that way with Mr.. Miller, he
will stand up for his idea of the
right with the whole town against
him as quickly as he will with
the town on his side. We do not
ascribe any particular merit to
the man for this; he is merely
built that way. But we think
such men are good material to
entrust with the interests of the
city,-men who must be appeal
cd 10 on the side of reason in
stead OF on the side of interest.
If the voters of the ward are
looking for the best man in the
race, we think we can name him,
and if the voters are going to
weigh these men in their minds
we think they can name him.
Business is business, and the
School Board is a matter of first
Importance.

realizing that the city is
Democratic and that desper-

setting up the cry of fraud,

cratic vote was not cast
against Republicans and had
nothing to do.with Republi-
cans at all! Their only hope
now is,toIget "a line on the
Democraticivoters, to see ii
a change cannot be made
somewhere. Yesterday after
noon, Bill Divers "busted'
into the Democrat office with
the information that he had
been tackled by a republi-
can self-constituted com
mittee, which told him that
numerous ringers and repea-
ters had.been run in by the
Democrats in the primary
AND DEMANDED TO SEE THE
DEMOCRATIC POLLING LISTS.
Divers informed them that
he could show them the lists
and would do so, but that
he preferred to act with the
consent and approval OF the
Democratic committee;where
at he hiked out to consult
his assistants. Now the
thing to do,if there has been
a fraud perpetrated on the
Republicans in n Democratic
primary.-a thing so utterly
d bsurd as To be laughable-
is obviously to make the al
legation specific, giving
II lmes, dates, and circum.
stances. The republicans
have a candidate for city at
torney who should advise
their boosters as to insuffi-
cheney in causes set for trial.
These gentlemen should
have said to Mr.. Divers, "We
know that John Doe and
Richard Roe, who registered
from Lot-Block-,in the Bird
ward, are fraudulently and
unlawfully registered and we
are prepared to take their
cases into the courts. Do
you want to look at your
lists TO see ii these men vot-
ed the Democratic ticket,and
il you find they did vote it
TO help us to put them into
the hands of the law" In
stead OF that they give him
a cock-and-bull story about
a matter that is Transparent
tly improbable-as the
Democrats were thinking
only about their own men in
the primary ote,and think
ing not at all and caring less
about the Republicans
they give Mr.. Divers this
bluff and demanded possess

WITHOUT THE RAILROAD SPUR

The Announcement OF the Past Week
That There Would Be No Railroad
Spur Built From M. & o. Track to
Hospital Had Significance.
The virtual abandoning OF the plan
to build a railroad spur from the NJ.
a. o. track northeast OF Norfolk to the
state insane hospital means, 1t is esti.
mated, about $4,000 annually to Nor
folk teamlng interests.
A year ago when active building
operations were carried on at that
Norfolk hospital the state paid about
$4,000 to Norfolk Transfers for haul.
Ing building material and other sup
plies to the hospital.
Now with extensive building opera
lions In sight the annual "dray bill'
OF the state will, 1t Is estimated,
amount to about $4,000 in Norfolk.
II Is more than a two mile haul to
the hospital from the Norfolk depots.
