A SPADE IS A SPADE

Marion bids fair to gam n llttlc
Of the fame which has been thrust
upon Fjldlay, only in slightly
different line. For some time the
eyes Of reformers will be upon the
common pleas court of this county
while the already famous sewage
disposal plant ease is being tried.
The entrance into the case Of
Attorney General ELS. who repre-
sents State Auditor GuiIbert adds
interest to the ease and the feat
lres which haze been introduced
through, the answer and cross
petition of the state auditor, prom
lse TO make the trial very m
teresting one and the decision, one
which will attract attention from
fan and near.
The state auditor does not mince
words about the matter. He calls
Il spade, spade. He openly al
eges fraud IN connection with
awarding the conotract and the
construction Of the plant. He says
that the city was buncoed out OF
100000 in the deal because The
yaEs were so made that no other
company than the Clinton Fou-
dry and Machine company could
bid on the work, and because OF
this, competitive Bidding was not
possible. The state auditor is
evidently un advocate of competl-
tive bidding, even in city affairs
He would not have gwen his same
tion to the awarding of contracts
Tor some of the pavings which the
city already has, without throwing
vhe bidding open to all who cared
TO participate. Competitive bidding
t' the only protection enjoyed by
.he citizen and whenever contract
is awarded without competition i
places the stamp Of disapproya
upon that transaction.
Mr.. Guilbert says that TIN
c5ty's money was not expended n
provided in the resolution adopted

asks that the city recover th
whole amount expended.

mcnts of Auditor Gmlbert re
mains to be shown in court, bl
it is certain that some of ih
workings of the city council wJI
be laid bare TO the public gaze.

Council seems to haVa been at
tackled with the paving fever IL
almost as virulent form as most OF
the people Of the city have been
assailed by grip. Four streets
were added to the list to be paved
during the coming summer. That
is all right, gentlemen, so long ms
the property owners are willing
but please do not give us any
more of those South Prospect street
deals.

DIVORCE AND DouGHNUrs.


There is divorce case in Hobok-
en-, where one of the complaints OF
the man is that his wife from whom
he desires to escape cannot manu-
f0ctme frst-class doughnut. OF
Iccurse, this seems a very beggarly
complaint, but then there is a con-
isileration about It that must not be
neglected, which is. that if wom-
an can make a fine doughnut, 1t is
an indication of ability, taste and re-
firement that she occupies the level
of all good things.b8i tst4t
There are grades OF dougnnuts
just as there are grades in life, and
they SEEM to correspond to each

That represent in human character?
Is. it not prima facie evidence of
wilely incapacity? Gould The beauty

Is it the flower Of refinement and
educated taste. An answer TO these
Questions plainly supports the con-
clusion of the husband
