 Hearst dies hard in a political bat tie. He is contesting Hughes's right to the Governors office in New York despite the fact that Hughes has been inaugurated.
 Hearst Is seeking to have a recount of the ballots cast In the mayoralty election in New York city, in Novem- Der. 1905. He does not dispute Hughes's election as Governor of the State It will be better in the end for all concerned to have the recount he is seeking There are thousands who believe he was elected Mayor and counted out. For that he is posing as a martyr. If he was elected he Is en- titled to the position now held by May or Mcclellan. In our Judgment the re- suit will be the establishment of Mayor McClellan's election on a firmer basis and the disposing of Hearst as a martyr.

NEWsPAPER TROUBLES.

As a specimen of ''what perils do en- viron" the newspaper man we find this in The Charleston Evening Post. of New Years day.
 Unwilling to remain in the company's employ under rules made by the man. agement for the conduct of It's busf- ness, the entire force of The Evening Posts composing room has withdrawn, and new men have been installed in their places.
 We know nothing of the rules in force in the office of The Post, or of the new ones adopted by the manage ment which resulted in the unceremon- ious exodus of the entire force of. the papers composing room, but we do know that such things not infrequent- ly occur in newspaper offices, and they are among the most annoying and vexatious occurrences that the busi- ness is subjected to.
 The business of a daily newspaper, and especially the mechanical part of it. is different from almost any other business. The patrons of the paper, the subscribers. the daily purchasers and the advertising patrons. all ex- pect the paper to be published on time every day. Theirs not to reason why" is the view they take if the pa- per is not issued, but they do not fail to lay the blame on the owners and managers of the concern. You prom ise us a paper each afternoon"--or each morning, as the case may be--"and you should have it ready on time" That is the way the average man will look at it.
 The force in the composing room Is among the most important attachments of a daily newspaper. To make a comparison, the composing room is the motive power of the entire machine; if the motor refuses to work the machine stops. So 1t is with the daily news paper. If those who set the type and operate the machines all stop at once the paper cannot be printed. A short age in the reportorial force may be supplied, and so in all the other de- partments. Even the editor may take a day off without causing the paper to go out of business. but oftentfmes it is impossible to ref1et and reorganize the composing room on short notice. The Post did not lose an issue on account of the retirement of its workers, but it was somewhat curtailed and very much disconnected. We hope 1t will suffer only a temporary embarrass- ment.

caused many of the victims to com

There is one proposition In the auto

attention Of the automobile dealers
association OF California and the auto

but the only result so far has been
lot of discussion, with an abundance
of suggestions. but no actual work

but there has got to be something
doing" If the automobilists are to fully
enjoy their motor cars
Ways and means must be provided
TO pay for the Improvement of the
roads. The men who build them must
be paid. This money, to a certain ex-
tent, should be supplied by those most
benefited. whether owners of auto
mobiles, bicycles or horses. Even those
who have to walk along the roads should
help. Before another week has passed
let those who are at the head of the
dealers association and the automobile
club get together and select men for
Joint committee to handle this prob
lem. Those selected should be men
who have the time to attend to the
work.

mittee under ordinary circumstances
for the roads are in such a condition
that they cannot be used and the need
OF something better Is not as apparent
as 1t will be later in the season. But
