nine other Eskimos. left Anoratok,

Cannon has dictated his intention to
remain in Congress for another thir-
ty-eight years, President Taft might
eliminate him from the house by ap-

be a good thing for him too since
there are so many missionaries at

4 GOOD INVESTMENT

For the past months, ever since the
real condition of the finances OF the
city were revealed by city Auditor
Harry S. Elliott. the city council un-
der the leadership OF some of the
Democratic members of the body have
been pratising strict economy in all
expenditures. The council before
the present one, which was very ap-
propriately named The Million Dol
lar Council spent the funds of the
city with a lavish hand. That this
was done partly through Ignorance
of the real conditions is conceded, for
the attention OF the members was not
called 70 the matter in a forceful
manner Coming Oh the heels OF this
eXtravigance, the city was deprived of
revenue from the Aiken tax. These
two conditions placed the finances in
such condition that the city has not
vet been able 70 recover from the
shock. Extreme economy has been
necessaryand. be ii said to the credit
of the present councilmen, they have
accepted conditions as they found
them ami have made the best of IT,
Council, however. cannot take the
credit for being first in this move
The people took the initiative and,
though it was known at the time that
it was such conservative step, yet
1t had its effect and very decided ef-
feet in reducing the running expenses
OF the city. When Harry S. Elliott
was elected city auditor, it meant a
clean saving TO the taxpayers the
first year OF sS3l.54 A no mean item
when the finances of the city are at
such low ebb. During the year pre-
ceding Mr.. Elliott's term in Office the
expense OF the city auditory Office
was s20s5.13. During the first year OF
Elliott's term these expenses were cur
down to sj264l9, a clear saving OF al
most one half IN this office alone.
But the real value of Harry Elliott
in the city auditors Office cannot be
measured by the dollars and cents he
has saved in the management of his
Office. 1t was he who pointed out 10
the city council the real financial
condition existing and made 1t evident
to the members that the strictest
economy was necessary If her credit
was TO be preserved and she was to
be kept out OF bankruptcy. Prior 10
Mr.. Elhotts term, little or no rega-u
was paid TO the tax rate when APP
pyopriations were to be made. Mr.,
Elliott has insisted upon appropria-
tiohs being kept within the tax rate
and in this way Marion has been able
to- keep going.
We do not undetake TO say Mr..
Elliott Is the only man who could
make a saving OF almost one half in
the running expenses of his Office,
and could have pointed out 10 council
the, financial standing of the city.
There are doubtlessly other men in
the, city who could have done the
same thing but the fact remains that
Elliott dill these things and we argue
that because he did them he should
be returned to the Office for another
two years.

THE HAMMER VERDICT

| The sentence imposed by Judge
Babst in the trial of Hammer on a
charge of murder in the second de.
gree, and the fact that the attorneys
for the defense made no move for a
new trial indicate that in the opinion
of the court and Hammers attorneys,
the accused escaped with an excep-
tionally light verdict and for that
reason the limit sentence was pro-
noupced. Judge Babst imposed SEN
tence of Elk months in the workhouse
and assessed fine of two hundred
dollars and the costs in the case.
The verdict of assault and battery
In a case where man had been
stabbed IN broad daylight on the
streets of the city, where the act
was seen by a number of persons,
where a score of witnesses for the
state had been examined by the
grand jury and not enough dis
Icrepency - their testimony was found
to warrant ignoring the case, seems
to be very light verdict. The public
was somewhat surprised when it
learned the verdict, but that counts for
little, because the public is not capa-
BILE of judging, not having heard all
Of the evidence in the case. 1t doees
appear, however, and the sentence
of the court in this case seems to
bear out the assumption, that the
feelings of the jury were preyed upon
until the point of extreme lenfensy
was reached. The average man looks
upon the. proposition in this way.
Roy Cubbison was killed by George
Hammer and Hammer was either justi-
fed or he was not justified in the
killing. If he was justified in the
killing, he should have escaped with
ont punishment; If he was not justi-
fled in his act, then he should have
been givena more severe penalty.
The outcome of the case is generally
accepted as another instance of the
leniency which is characteristic OF
Marion county juries. Prosecuting
Attorney Charles l.. Justice has stated
that he believes it is impossible to
convict in major criminal actions in
Marion county, and the record in the
recent years would indicate that he is
right in his conclusion. There has
been q precedent established in Ma
rion county, and it is often heard
that no man was ever sent to the
gallows or to the electric chair from
this county, but this does not argue
that no man in Marion county ever
needed hanging.
Extreme leniency upon the part
of the juries is practically an en-
dorsement of crime and the custom
leads to lawlessness. The sooner the
iuries forget the leniency of other
juries, disregard all precedents and
decide criminal cases according TO
the evidence produced and the law as
explained by the court, the sooner
will social conditions in Marion coun-
ty improve.
