THE BRIBERY CASES.

The saddest feature of the p6sav-
DRY mess that has been threshed over
in Circuit Court the last two days
isSthe acceptance by everybody, coun-
cilInen, candidates and citizens, of the
fact that the colIectorship was to be
sold. Running through the entire
testimony In the Jones and McCullum
trials was the prices offered council
men for their votes. One witness
stated that $500 had been paid for
one vote; and the name of the man
receiving that bride was not given
because the rules of evidence for
babe.
Another stated that he was com
PEELED to withdraw as a candidate for
Collector, because the pace became
too swift for him; he could not af-
ford to go above 1000 for the Of
fee..
There was no appreciation of the
duties these councilmen owed the city
by whom they had been honored of
,hoosing the best man for Collector.
The Office was simply something out
IT. which they might realize some
Money. There were undoubtedly
honest men in the Council, but the
other SENTIMENT appeared TO pre-
dominate.
The testimony of both Jones and
IcCullnm was nauseating. Each
1laimed that he was trying to trap
the other, to find out if he was an
honest man. And they both seemed
to have found out.
But the low ebb to which politics
has fallen in Winchester is seen from
the fact that one of these men had the
efrontery to offer himself as a can
didate for Mayor in the late Demo
cratic primary. 1t speaks well fo1
the voters that he finished last in the
race.
The, other is an avowed candidate
for councilman in the fourth ward
II is Republican ward and a nom
ination is usually equivalent to an
election. We cannot believe that he
can secure that nomination; but if he
does it will be the duty of the decent
Republicans to unite with the decent
Democrats, sink their partizanshir
and name a clean man for the coun-
Gill;
The. ticket named at the Democrat
ic primary for councilmen, with a
solitary exception, is high class one
and with such men as City Fathers
Winchester need not be ashamed.
The city is standing at the TIRES
hold of q great career. The next few
years will decide whether we are to
increase in population and CONNER
ciAl Importance or remain small
town. We have been so busy seeking
outside capital, outside manufactur-
es, SO intent on booming the city, that
we have forgotten our family house

years there has become evident feel

that diagnosis is unquestioned, the
sooner the operation is performed and
finished, the better will the situation
be from every point Of view.
There has long been tradition
among athletes that no man is ever
himself again after an operation. Sew
eral instances OF a stock character
have always been at hand OF athletes
who failed to come back" after sub
hitting themselves TO. the surgeon 5

OF argument. men have postponed OPP
erations that were undoubtedly ad.
visible, until time when the hos
pital assignment was accompanied
with far greater danger than would
have been the case had prompt action
been taken.
But the Tigers have at least four
exemplars of the theory that opero
tions. professionally performed and at
the time when needed, do not impair
players effectiveness, but do con-
siderably improve 1t.
Perhaps the most prominent eK'
ample OF this condition is furnished
by Herman Schaefer, the teams cap
tain.
For several years Schaefer fought
against hemorrhoids until. in 1907. hrs
trouble became so acute that ne was
out OF the game for a considerable
portion OF the season.
