Editorial Column,
THE ECONOMY PLEA,

The Dispatch of last week endeavored create the i'm
preston that the real of the change in the
ment of the county hospital based economy, and
attempts rot array of figures in support OF this
view by comparing the for provisions Under the last
democratic administration of that institution in 1899 and
1000 when R. F. Allen was superintendent with the cost
under the administration Of LEMON from September 1907 to
September 1908 The contention of economy is merely
subterug 1t is put forward in good faith and we ven
say dreamed of by those who nstru
mental in bringing about the change 1t is another sample
of misrepresentation and thickness which have played SO
conspicuous part in county management of late years.
To convey the impression that Fred Lemon superlnten
dent Of the county hospital not careful OF the financial
interests of the county during his of office, will be
branded absolutely false by everyone who is at all con-
with the facts No who has ever had charge
of that institution alive to guarding the interests
of the taxpayers and at the time protecting the well
fare of the inmates, than he.
The Ledger is blinded by parsanshp that it
not be Just We willing to concede that under Mr.
Allen the affairs of the county hospital fairly and
economically administered We have fault find with
his record But do emphacally protest against any
comparison of the bare of provisions and supplies be-
hospital under Allen in 1900 and LEMON in
1905 aodng any basis for conclusion regards
efficiency economy either for against either supernten
dent If this the true criterion of Judgment it would
follow that the old method of ancient days of letting the
hospital management and maintenance the lowest bidder
preferable Our INDECENT sick and poor cost about
quarter much in those days they do now but that
affords argument why should return to system long
since discarded disgraceful and nhuman.
To show the fallacy of any comparison of the bills for
provisions between 1900 and 1oo8 is only necessary
consider the market price articles during the periods
1t we'll known that in 1900 everything bedrock
rates. that the of living has increased from 80 40 per
since that year. To show the difference herewith
give of few staple articles taken from the
awarded the successful bidders for hospital supplies for the

pense $780, The building has been reprinted and
improved in other ways calling for considerable outlay for
material although the work done by the inmates and
the superintendent There expenditure correspond
ing to this i'll 1900.
We have said enough to convince any fair-mnded man
that bunder think of comparing the record of the
two periods with the idea that the LEMON administration
when fairly presented would show up disadvantage 1t
stands in every respebt the brightest in hospital
management in Amador county In conclusion may cite
the fact that for December the last month of the
democratic regime the bill for clothing reached the low ebb
of $16.27: while in January the first month in the Barrett
term the cost for clothing bedding to $78o1 clearly
showing that the institution hsd been permitted down
in this regard.

This comparison will suffice for much of the
difference of the of running the hospital We have
looked the figures showing the cancelled against
the hospital fund and find the total for 1900 $6637
while for 1908 the total $40 showing that
the expense $35374 less in the first named than
last named year This total includes everything however
But enhanced price of staple articles is by means the
only explanation Another important factor is the system
adopted of late years by the supervisors of pensionng
dgents outside the hospital This system started in
1901, and has grown it predicted the time it
inauguated formidable proportions the present time
On this the comparison of the years shows up

EVEN MONEY ON FIGHT.
Jeffries and johnson Thought to Be
Evenly Matched.

New York, Nov. 11.-According to
James Coffroth, the San Francisco fight
promoter, who is here in an effort to
land the Jeffries-Johnson contest for
his club at Colma, Cal, Jeffries and
johnson will go into the ring at even
money in the betting. Coffroth is con-
s1dered one Of the most reliable fight
handicappers in the country.
There may be a shade the best of it
for one or the other before the fight,
said Coffroth, but when the gong
sounds, you will find that it is an even
money bet and that Johnson will have
as mar hackers as Jeffries. 1 do not
recall fight in which there is likely 10
be more money change hands than OH
this one 1t is quite certain that the
California money will go on Johnson to
large extent, as he has made Won
derful impression there, and rat a
great deal of Jeffries' backing will
come from the east"
More bids are coming in from clubs
and promoters who desire to produce
the big fight. Battling Nelson, the
lightweight champion, desires to be-
come promoter and has wired John
son and Jeffries here that he will give
$4,000 to have their fight take place on
his property at Virginia City, New.
Nelson offers to post 100000 immediate
ly to bind the offer. James Morgan o:
Ogden, Utah, wires that he will give
$50, 600. When all the bids are consid-
cred on December 1, it is believed there
will be a dozen from which to choose.

SEARCHING The JAILS.
Illinois Mobs After Negro Suspected of
killing Miss Policy.

Cairo, ILL.,, Nov. 1t.-Except for an I'M
confirmed report that Sheriff Davis has
placed William James. the negro sus-
pected of killing Miss Anna Policy here
on Monday night. in the Jail at Muir
physboro, I'll. there was no news here,
today to indicate that the Sheriff had
emerged from the woods near Dongola,
Ill, into which he plunged with his pris-
orer last night. The news that mob
was awaiting at Anna. ILL.,. for the train
on which James had been taken from
Cairo, caused this move by the sher-
if.
The mob here quieted down last night
after searching the city and county
jails.
Late in :he evening word came that
the negro was in Jail at Mounds, Ill,
and crowd left here to investigate
that Jail. When James was not found
there, members of the crowd went to
Mill Creek, likewise without result.
1t is thought now that Sheriff Davis
has not gone north of Jonesboro. The
mob from Anna, Ill. is reported to be
searching the woods for the sheriff and
his prisoner

The Doctors
Question
Some Advice Against the Use
of Harsh Purgatives
and PHYSICS

A doctors first question when con-
suited by patient is, "Are your
bowels regular?" He knows that 90
per cent of illness is attended with
inactive bowels and torpid liver. This
condition poisons the system with
waste matter and causes accumulation
of gases which must be removed
through the bowels before health can
be restored.
Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics
may be truly likened to dynamite
Through their harsh, irritating action
they force passage through the bow
els, causing pain and damage to the
delicate intestinal structure which
weakens the whole system, and at best
only produces temporary relief. The
repeated use of such treatments causes
chronic irritation of the stomach and
bowels. dries and hardens their It's

about an injurious habit which some
times has almost, if not fatal results
