ing good behavior and by the lop-
ping off of all salaries IN excess OF
S25OO.O0 so they would come down to
that figure, a class of employees
would be attracted to the county ser
vice which, at the lowest estimate
would enable the administration to
redeuce the salary account for the
sounty IS per cent and as the extra
expense incident to the election re-
form contemplated whereby the cleo
ton authorities would be enabled to
furnish voters with all useful and ne
cessary information for every possible
voter and for the expenses incident
to the appointment and retention OF
precinct inspectors, according to the
estimate of Clerk Cannon would
amount to only $170,00000 a year, the
saving to the county by the introduc-
ton of the merit system where the
spoils system is now prevailing, IN the
county public service, would effect a
saving above the increased election
expenses of more than 100000
There is the opportunity for the sue
cessful party.
Will it rise to it? Perhaps. If the
gas trust element does not guide its
policy. The elimination of the pro-
gressive declaration adopted by the
harmony committee" from the reso-
buttons adopted by the county con-
vention and the ambiguous declare
ton in those resolutions, on the ques
ton that would be observed in the
appointment of new employees, and
the mediocre language in which the
declaration appeared, gives little hope
of any improvement.
If the. policy of the -shrieyalty Office
in 1902, will be followed in general,
by the county officials elect at the
present time, the citizenship will find
that they asked for bread and re-
ceived stone.

BREWINGToN WINS AGAINST

must "hang his hat" wherever he can
find a peg. There is no doubt but
what these workers" have consid-
cradle influence in behalf of the COM
ulittee or candidate that employ
them. and this influence is not always
for the best interest of the commun-
itv. For this reason the friends OF
election reform have caused : sill to
be introduced in the general asst.~bly
providing for, the appointment BY the
election commission, at public ex-
pense of an inspector to serve in each
rs----1- or the purpose Of seeing that
e.sry per son of voting age domiciled
ql1ii7 the precinct, is supplied with
notice as to date and hour Of every
primary and election and the loca-
ton of the polling place; and as to
the candidates to be elected and the
proposition to be voted for at such
election, so that every citizen would
be in position to act or refrain from
acting upon the proposition, and if
he chose to act to be in a position to
do it intelligently. These inspectors
would be appointed as absolutely non
partisan officials under a merit test,
and would hold their position dur
ng good behavior and as long as
they wished to. Any political organ
ization or any individual would have
the right to appear before the county
court and show cause why any one
of those having been proposed who
had taken the examination and ap-
proved by the election commission
should not be appointed, and at any
time they might be impeached for
misconduct in their duties. This
would make all party heelers or poll
ing place workers, absolutely need
less, and as party officials they should
have no recognition under the law. As
citizens and voters there should be
no objection 70 their presence at or
near the polling place, but both on
registration and on election day, no
'electioneeriRg" or solicitation OF
votes should be permitted at any
place within the political division
holding the election any more than It
IS now permitted within 100 feet OF
the polling place and 1t IS to be hoped
that when the new corrupt practice
prevention act is drafted by the
"committe of seven" this provision
will be embodied into it. 1t will be
readily understood that IN the absence
OF such provision, the interests en-
ploying an army of men to bring the

age over the candidate or the cause

Increased Price Of Elk Teeth.

during the last five years the value
OF elk teeth has more than trebled,"
said a western traveller at the Fred
eric. according to the st. Paul Dis
patch. In 1904 you could get any num-
Der OF fine specimens in Idaho, Mon
tana, Washington and bordering states
Tor $3.50 apiece. Now you will pay
from $3.50 to $40, and they are hard
to get for eve that. The Apache,
Sioux. Comanche and Chippewa Indi-
n used to have dozens of them in
their possession and traded them for
trlnkets. But the redskin got wise to
their value. and you can buy them
from a regular dealer cheaper now
than from the Indian. The passing
OF the elk and the great demand made
by the members of the Elk lodge for
teeth for emblems have boosted the
price"
The traveller recited an incident of
an Oklahoman who bought a robe cov-
cred with elk teeth from a Wichita
Indian for 800. He cut off the teeth
and cleaned up 5 $4,000 on the deal.

A Drama on the Street.

A remarkable coincidence occurred
at San Bernardino, Cal, one day late

vorced were happily brought together
again. Mrs. Walter Preston was on
her way to the court to secure a di-
vorce against her husband when her
little daughter darted in the path of
an onrushing motor car. The moth
ers screams attracted the attention
of a man who dashed in front of the
machine. seized the little girl and
leaped to safety as the automobile
shot by. The rescuer proved to be the
husband and father. Explanations
were oon made, and the two made
their way to the attorneys office,
where Mrs. Preston tore up the di-
vorce complaint.

Madriz Needs Loan Badly,

Washington, Jan. 2.-Reports CON
corning the pressing need for the Mad
ria government to obtain a loan have
been received in Washington. The
state department itself is in receipt
of a dispatch from Vice Consul Calde-
"a, stating that a loan is being given
consideration by Nicaragua. The vice
consul adds that military preparations
continue to be made in Managua, in
dicating evidently the belief on the
part of the Madriz followers that Gen.
eral Estrada will attempt in the imme-
date future to capture the city.
Dispatches from Commander Ship

the sufferings of the captured army of

feed the prisoners.
