Editor Advertiser:-In this after
noon IS Star appeared an account of the
police court 1'roast '-soealled-said to
have been given TO the downstairs -
officials of the city bastile. A consid-
Grafton of the facts, as written, would
lead a fair-minded person to suppose:
first. that the rebuke savored of poll
ties (the downstairs officials being
Democrats); second, that the proseeu-
tor joined in the scolding to escape cen
sure for neglect of the functions for
which he is paid salary; third, that
it is high time for the County Attorney
to drop his private practice and see
that his underlings attend to the bust
ness of the county. Owing, as it is
said, to the dolce far niente of the
numerous attaches of Cathcart S Office
the warrants are, perforee, made out,
for those who can not employ eompe-
tent private counsel, by the clerks in
the Office Of the deputy sheriff, who are
not paid salaries which would insure a
service commensurate with the ability
such as is employed in large communi-
ties; but our city and county pay for
two helpers TO John ". Cathcart-one
of whom, with his superior, finds pri-
vate practice more engaging than the
performance, and attention, of public
duties. The police court prosecutor
should attend the district court and the
sheriff s Office all day long; he could
wait around his place of employ just
as well as to hang around King or any
other street; make him call around the
station house evenings so as to draw
up the complaints which the day S drag
have rendered necessary. 1t is said
that two prayers and one sermon, on a
Sunday, is not enough to warrant the
employment of parson; neither Is fif-
teen, or fifty, minutes attendance at
our police court each morning Except
ing the 1vacations'') sufficient to war
rant the pay of $50 per month TO the
recipient. Moreover, an able lawyer
would have had the process in re
Kwong Chong amended or would have
discontinued the first prosecution on
sight of the homemade warrant that
has, in the case IN question, been made
an excuse to hide the faulty system OF
the prosecution.
Take off your coat. Mr.. Brown, and
let US see if you can draw the com
plants necessary in the conduct of the
Office to which you are supposed to give
your best ability: don't blame poor
clerk who, supposedly, has not had the
legal training-and years of oppor-
tunity in praetiee-whieh you have.
If Judge Andrade would ''roast
those who may need the open hearth
process, some good might come Of it;
as things are now, he applies the fire
to the wrong meat. We must have
warrants and complaints; let US have
'em Drowned DUTCH OVEN.

Truth and
Quality

appeal to the Well-Inforrned in every
walk Of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ngly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one OF many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection

effects always purchase the genuine

Letters From
the People

Editor Advertiser refer
ring particularly TO the present Japan
csc strike, ! would like 10 say word
or two about strikes in general; and l
wish to say, it is the opinion of think
ing men the world over, that the true
paneea or solution to strikes and TO the
war between capital and labor consists
in proft-sharing and cooperation And
/, for one, think there IS much truth IN
this statement.
In fact, this has been proved to be
true in almost every instance in places
in which it has been tried, both IN the
United States, England and other
countries; and some Of Us have proved
it by personal experience. I will say
that it is my opinion that if you want
to get the most work out Of man, or
at least the average man, you mus give
him some incentive, and there IS no IN
centive equal to that of a prospect OF
reward ABOVE the ordinary wage; and,
therefore, when a man finds that the
amount Of money that he gets does not
depend so much upon the number OF
days that he works as upon the amount
OF work that he does, he very naturally,
as the boys say, gets move on him.
self. -
And he will very naturally take more
interest in his work and in the place,
or plantation, or farm or factory III
which he is working; and | want TO say
that it is astonishing the amount of
work man can do where he IS inter
ested in it and in earnest about 1t.
Some people very fooEshly think thai
profit sharing means a loss of money to
the stakeholder, while in every instance
it has proved a decided gain to them,
and gain to their employees and more
satisfactory all round.
/ will also say that where this sys-
TEN has been tried it has been found
that more and better work has been
done with less men than was ever done
before, and consequently there has been
gain and more satisfaction for all
parties.
I want to say, too, that there is moth
ing to be gained by grinding men down
to the lowest cent one can get them to
work for, but often a great loss. On
the other hand, it would be just as bad
if capitalist yielded to the unjust de
| mands of the laborers.
Very truly,
GEO. OSBORN.

THE PAYROLL AT KAHUKU.

Editor Advertiser:-Fro the state
ment of wages paid TO japanese labor
ers at Kahuku plantation, which was
published in this morning ; edition OF
the Advertiser, 1t would appear that SO
men of the field hands had been earn
ing zoe per dav overtime, and - women
of field hands had been earning 15c per
day overtime for the six months end
ing April 80. This is not entirely the
fact During the six months quoted
there was very little overtime irriga-
ton, for climatic reasons. The over
time irrigation statistics were taken
from the payroll as of May IS. two days
prior to the beginning Of the strike at
Kahuku. and refer TO conditions exist
ing there since May l. and which would
have existed during the balance Of the
summer.
Yours truly.

TALESMAN IS APPROACHED
Statement Of Prospective Juror in
calhoun Case Causes Sensa-
ton in Court.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.-Howard T.
Black, one of the talesmen. brought about
a sensation at the Patrick Calhoun bribery
trial today by informing the court that his
wife was approached yesterday by a man
who sought to ascertain his opinion con-
corning the case. Francis j. Heney inn
mediately demanded an investigation, de-
claring that every agent of the district. at
torney's office had been instructed to keep
away from the homes OF the prospective
jurors under pain Of dismissal and punish
ment for contempt of court.
Stanley Moore of the defense declared
that the unknown man was not an ennis
sary of the defense, and that his people
had no knowledge OF n similar attempt
several days ago in the case of Joseph
Dixon, who occupies a seat in the box.
Upon this Mr.. Heney admitted that the
man in the Dixon case was an agent of
the prosecution, who has since been dis
charged for disobeying orders. Mr.. Heney,
leaning toward the defense, declared that
the man discharged had been offered a
bride to betray the interests of the prose-
cution.
This statement was characterized by Mr.,
Moore as having a fishy flavor
Mr.. Heney charged that an attempt was
made, through bribery. to secure papers
from the office of w. j. Burns, the detec-
tive. Judge Lawlor intimated that the mat
ter would become the subject of further
investigation.

InNeuNIOu IL 10 nave the exercises IN
the Auditorium.
The celebration in Council Bluffs Of Lin
coins birthday anniversary on February Il
will be a public one and will be held in the
new auditorium, II that building can be
obtained for that date. The public exer-
cises will consist of a program Of addresses

bers Of the First Congregational church.

arrangements could be made whereby the
indoor circus could have the auditorium
for February II and for February 10, leav-
ing February IL open for the public celebra-
tion of Lincoln's birthday. This is a mat
ter which the proper committee will have

decorations, invitations and place of hold
ing celebration. Mr.. Calvin announced at
