REGISTRARS
7AMPERED WITH
(From the ReGormer)

Under the new registration law
the county court appoints a regis
trar for each voting precinct. This
registrar is public officer, as much
so as any other county or state of
hcer. They are required to take
an oath to support the constitution
Of the state and to faithfully dis
charge the duties of their office.
The law provides the manner in
which they shall register the voters
OF their respective precincts, the
time they shall register and the
time they shall turn in their regis
tration books to the clerk of the
county court. But the republican
county committee has assumed to
itself the right to superintend the
registration of voters in Mercer
county, and 70 instruct the regis.
trars how land when they shall do
their work. Mr.. J. c. Pack,
member Of the republican execu-
tive committee from Rock district,
has written a number of circular
letters to the registrars of his dis
trict, instructing them in regard TO
the registration OF voters. lie has
instructed them not to turn in their
books to the county clerk until the
18th OF October, and to keep a
copy of them, Notwithstanding the
fact that the law provides how and
when the registrars shall do their
work and turn in their books. Now
why has Mr. Pack found it neces-
sary for him as an officer Of the re-
publican committee 60 attempt to
take charge Of the work of these
public officers, What business and
what right did he have to instruct
public officers sworn to do their
duty under the law how and when
they should discharge those duties,
The registrars are not officers Of
the republican party, they were not
appointed 90 work under the direc-
ton and control Of any political
party And when a political party
attempts to interfere with a sworn

TAFT IN
BALTIMORE

TAFT IN BALTIMORE .. :.
Baltimore, Oct 2O.-Hitting
straight at his opponent. Mr.. Bryan,
Judge William H. Taft yesterday
carried his campaign to the very
doors of New York city.
Mr.. Taft spent three hours in
Newark. an hour in Elizabeth, and
an hour and twenty minutes in Will
mington and the entire evening in
Baltimore. He ad dressed large
crowds al all these places.
His extended efforts of the day
were at Newark, Elizabeth ond Bal
timore. At Newark he gave atten-
ton to all the issues, save labor. In
his Elizabeth speech he dwelt sole
ly on the labor question and last
night he combined both speeches.
The zest with which Delaware re-
ceived the candidate resulted in cur
failing the Wilmington speech to
but few lines.
Il can only say to YOU" he re-
marked, that from what 1 have
seen in New jersey today, and what
have seen in Delaware today, and
that / saw in the south and The
est in the last three weeks, am
going to be elected, and 1t would
give me the greatest pride IL in that
electoral vote could have the three
from Delaware"

man who did the defective
work got paid for it just the
same although he was required
in his contract to give a bond in
in the penalty of 81 $4,000 to do
the work properlr which he
was never required to do all
though the work was put di-
rectly under the supervision of
the Pros. Atty, Mr.. Sutton, by
the Court, with full and pie
nary powers to have what
walks constructed he desired.
The fence put in for which
81 900. 90 was paid began to fall
down before it was all compile
ted and part of it has to be done
over again. And it is in this
way, by reckless extravaganza,
exorbitant amount paid for
work, work of an inferior grade
accepted and done over again,
incompetence and negligence
of those in charge of the public
property, by payment of illegal
claims and in the very teeth of
the law that the county court
has put the people of Mercer
County into debt, and is put
ting them further and further
into debt year by year until no
man can tell where it will end
unless the people turn out of
office the men who thus violate
so flagrantly, so openly and so
VIGOROUSLY the trust reposed in
them, and the oath they took to
discharge faithfully the duties
of their offices.

ons suggest themselves to any per-
son who will but think. After the
10th of October, when every regis
trar is supposed to have completed
his work and made all corrections.
if there is not sufficient voters reg
iStered to elect their ticket. the lists
might in some way be added to, and
made large enough by the 10Th of
the month. Then the county court
holds sitting on the 10th of Octo-
Der to correct the lists and may
strike off illegal voters by notice
having been given to such voter and
his illegality shown. BY keeping
the books out of the hands of the
clerk of the county court where
democrats might be allowed to see
them as long as possible it leaves
but short time to ascertain the
persons who are registered that are
not legal voters and give them
notice that the county court will be
asked to strike their names from the
list No man and no political party
will interfere with a public officer
and attempt to run and control his
Office with proper motives in view.
because it is none of any man S
business or any party's business to
say what a public officer shall do
or how he shall do it, when the law
prescribes his duties and the man
ner of performing them.

SPLENDID RECIPE
OLD FOLKS WHO SUFFER WITH
BAD KIDNEYS FIND PROMPT
RELIEF IN SIMPLE HOME MIX
TURR.

The following prescription for the
cure OF rheumatism and kidney and
bladder troubles has no doubt been
filled millions OF times, viz: Fluid
Extract Dandelion. one half ounce;
compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup 5arsaparilla. three
ounces. These simple harmless in
gradients can be obtained at anv
good prescription pharmacy al little
cost and are mixed by shaking well
in bottle.
The dose for adults is a teaspoon-
full after each meal and at bedtime.
drinking a full tumblerful of water
after each dose. II Is stated that
this prescription is a positive rem
edy for kidney trouble and lame
back, weak bladder and urinary diff
fculties, especially of the elderly
people, and one of the best things
to used in rheumatic affections, re-
lieving the aches and pains and re-
ducing swellings.
A well known authority states
that this mixture acts directly upon
the eliminative tissues of the kid
neys; cleanses these spongelike or
gans and gives them power to sift
and strain the poisonous waste mat
er and uric acid from the blood
which is the cause of rheumatism.
IL your back or sides ache and
you suspect kidney trouble it would
be wise to try this for few days.

EXTRAVAGANCE OF
THE COUNTY COURT
(From the Reformer)

(from the Retormer)
The records of Mercer County
show that last year, that is the
fiscal year ending June 3Oth,
1908 the County Court put Mer-
Ger County into debt for the
one year in the sum of $34 ,834.29
that is spent thirty-four thous-
and eight hundred and thirty
four dollars and twenty-nine
cents more money than. it re-
ceived from the various sources
of taxation etc. That is the re-
cord for one year, and that is
the Court composed of Davis
Thorn, Silias Smith and Ernest
Freeman. 1t is not saying too
much or deviating from the
truth to say that Davis Thorn
is the moving spirit of that
Court. He is the same man
that is seeking reelection, and
asking the people of Mercer
County to vote for him on his
official record. He made his
record. and he must stand by it,
and the people will judge him
by it.
Now this is an enormous debt
to heap upon the people of this
county in one year. The inter
est on it is something like 3d.
900. per year. But it's amount
is not perhaps the worst fea-
ture of it. A great part OF it
has been created by the ex-
penditure of the peoples money
in an extravagant reckless way,
blythe payment of illegal CLAIM 81
by hiring special officers to do
the work of the regular officers
of the county, and paying large
sums for such work in addition
to the regular salary of the reg
ular officers, and in various
other ways which aneconomical
and public spirited court would
have avoided. The manner in
which this money has been
spent and this debt created has
been dealt with in the columns
of the Reformer, and will be CON
tinued in the future. One fruit

dollars have been wasted by the
county court in the past year
or so has been the improve.
ments on and around the Court
House. These various improve
ments have cost something like
$50, 10000, or more. The first
water tank put in owing TO the
negligence and incompetence of
those paid to look after it, bur
sted and became a total loss,
after thousands of dollars had
been spent on it, and then an
other tank was constructed
on another plan at the cost of
hundreds Of dollars. The walks
put i'm for which thousands of
dollars were paid, were con
structed so badly that they be
gan TO crack and burst before
they got dry, and it has become
necessary TO take up some Of
them and put i'm again. But the
