an editorial III the August 81 issue
under the above caption. IN it we are
told of a working girl who. ut the
death of her mother, who had been de-
pendent upon her. paid out of what she
had saved from her wages 500 for q
casket and worked many months after
ward to pay debts incurred for other
funeral expenses. The story is told
also Of the funeral of II Bohemian
woman whose daughter is a helper i'll
the Chicago university settlement. The
services and burial under the auspices
Of the Roman Catholic church cost $500,
and the woman's husband is Il day
laborer earning $3.50 per day.
The coffin trust controls the price of
caskets. Cremation does not lesson the
expense. Where is all of this to end
unless the ministers. the church, the
rich and well-to.do people, free them
selves from the cruel paganism of Il
burial obsequies. knowing that the poor
people would soon follow the example
set them?

A Very Slick Job

The Carson democrats are said to he
very wrathy over the deal by which
Sanford was appointed district attorney
to succeed Roberts. Roberts was
elected as Il democrat and his successor
is Il republican. The deal was evidently
made by Roberts and ratified by Il
democratic board of county commission
crs. What makes the affair look like u
sell-out by Roberts is that democratic
attorneys had no opportunity to apply
for the vacant position. His resigna-
ton vas accepted and his successor
appointed before those outside of the
charmed circle had II chance to act.
Such sharp work is sure to rcact upon
all who had Il part in it. The demo
cratic commissioners of Ormsby county
are more considerable than Roberts.
Without them, he could not have
carried ont his bargain with Sanford.
