The extraordinary popularity Of fins
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals. is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods

A prominent planter recently had
occasion to visit some of his holdings
in southern Arkansas. The land was
situated several miles from a railroad,
and it was necessary to finish the
journey In buggy. So he took a
friend with him and started out.
After traversing several miles Of
sparsely settled country, they came
upon a farmer blowing corn on the
side OF hill. The planter, wishing
to appear civil to his neighbors
stopped his horse and yelled at the
man. who came to the fence, hopping
his face with a red bandana.
"Good morning."

DIVISION IN BRIBERY CASE.

T n view of the division of the court at George
Il town recently on the question Of whether
or not bribery at a certain form OF primary cleo
ton is a crime under the constitution, it would
be well for Attorney General Richards, if possi-
bic, to bring a test case before court of three
Judges SO that an effective opinion could be Sc
cured.
AS the matter now stands, one learned Judge
who was a member OF the Constitutional Con
vention, holds that the organic law OF the State
does not penaze bribery at a primary election
to elect delegates to a state or couny convention,
while another learned Judge maintains the con
trary view Thus, the question is up in the
air.
If bribery at such primary election is not
more than a common law crime, it should be
made statutory offense by specific legislative
enactment. Then, with this point clear, the au-
thorities could proceed with vigor against alleged
violators Of the law and corruptors OF the suf-
frage, whether they operate at regular elections
or at any kind Of primary election

With your permission / desire to

the city-and let it be Understood that
every man not an inmate of the aims
house is a taxpayer-to the fact that
it is not at all difficult to knock out
the grafters and corporation manilIins
az the coming city election. There are
probably 10000 qualified voters in this
city. AT the state election last fall
there were but 1880 votes cast m
this city. At the last city election there
were but 1888 votes cast Here We
see at least $500 citizens so disguised
that they do not vote. But let us con-
slider those who do vote The Repub-

outplayed the same Democratic meth-
DDS. FIFTY honest earnest citizens. %

the ward for the people. The Second
ward went Democratic by SO votes: so

can save the ward. The Twelfth ward
went Democratic by so votes, 60 citi-
zens, 20 from each party can redeem
the ward The Fourth ward went

75 from each party can redeem tile

the ward. The Eighth ward went Re-
publican by 154-15O citizens. 75 from

Ninth ward went Republican by 30
200 citizens-1OO from each party, can
handle the ward. The Democratic
Tenth and Eleventh wards and the Re

hopelessly Joined to their idols-at

plain to be seen that even only GOO

AWAY WITH THE STAR cHAMBERl

a MAJORITY of the members of the City
n Executive Board composed of the mayor
and his cabinet persist in their desire to exclude
the public from legitimate information concern
ing the business transacted at the meetings of
the board They must have strange reason for
pursuing this course. What the public is per
mitted to know, by grace of the members of the
board must filter through official sources. A
majority of the members, evidently, believe that,
when they confront the people their mouths
should be muzzled and an air of mystery sur
round their transactions. The only excuse for
this slap at the public is that premature pubca-
ton OF plans might spoil them II there is any
thing. Of grave Importance, concerning which
the public should be kept in the dark, an execu-
tive session could be held from which the re-
porters might be excluded. But the practical
working Of the plan of the City Executive Board
will be that the newspapers will try as best they
can, to learn the dongs Of the board and the re-
suit will often be inaccurate reports.
The whole idea back of the secret session is
wrong in principle 1t is proposed to manage
the affairs of the city by bureaucratic star
chamber board The Board, il it Is properly con-
a,lucted, will have vast influence with the different
departments of the city government and. there
fore, it is essential that the people should be in
formed OF what is being done.
We have had one example of star chamber
methods The decision to purchase the Lea
water rights was made at a session held behind
closed doors. There was no opportunity for
the discussion Of the matter and the people knew
little of IT, In many quarters there was no OBJ
lection to the transaction, as the city must have
the water rights, but there was objection to the
secret methods OF the city officials.
At present the city departments will have the
expenditure Of vast sums of money. Upon them
rests the responsibility of a careful handling
of this money so that it is not thrown away in
extravagant or useless projects. The people should
be fully informed OF any intended movement to
spend a large sum so that objections, if any,
could be heard and public sentiment sounded
The voters are vitally interested in the eNpendi-
tures to be made because the people have the
taxes to paw Under the present secret plan il
would be possible if not probable, that the City
Executive Board and other city officials could
formulate some most undesirable scheme and
force it through before the public became aware
OF what really was to be done
This question is one that, we think, should
concern most seriously Mayor Wilson and the
leaders Of the Republican party. A city election
is approaching. In municipal elections the vote
is close. The people may take it into their
heads to rebuke this attempt to force secret ses-
pions and star chamber methods in the transac-
aou OF the city Business.
