THE WORLD IS KIN.
By EDWIN 4. NYR.

Little Ruth Marks of Chicago, aged

The father put an advertisement in
the papers Offering So an inch for good

fee In order TO save the cli,l's life.
Only four were taken.
About an inch and a quarter Of cuti-
Gle was taken from the right arm Of
each Of the men selected. following q
rigid examination by the doctors.
One Of the men said he had two lit

Of Ruth and that he would have glad

skin out Of pity for the child.
Another successful candidate declar

And only when the person making

Fifty dollars was recently raised

If, as Secretary of the In
terror you were under susplc-
ion of being partial to Corpo-
rate interests in your rulings
on public land questions, and
you had just framed bill by
which you were to dispose of the
Alaskan coal lands on rental
basis of $Io. per acre to the
Guggenheim octopus, which
arrangement you represented
to be of vast advantage to the
government; and then, some
mean man from Seattle came
along and threw bomb un-
der your chair, in the shape
of a bona hde offer with ample
guarantee, to pay fifty cents a
ton royalty on all coal he is
allowed to mine in Alaska,

with the council a written
agreement in which he per-
sonally guarantees to indemni-
fy the town against possible
loss in such contingency to
the amount of the salary
which the city will owe him
for services as supervising
engineer.
Whether or not such sum
should be deemed adequate
security, is a question upon
which opinions differ. Some
deprecate the likelihood of the
estimate being exceeded while
others are equally strong in
their belief that the town
should take no chances in the
matter if there be any way to
avoid them.
In a recent interview with Mr..
Bullock, he reiterates his pre-
viously expressed opinion,
that he has made ample in
vestigation of the conditions
to warrant his belief that the
amount of rock work will not
exceed 400 yards; that if the
council is not satisfied with
the security he has already
rendered, he is willing to file
an indemnity bond in what
ever sum the council may see
fit to exact.
AS the present offer of Mr..
Bullock approaches the limits
Of his personal ability to pro-
tect the interests of the people
in this particular it rests
with the council to determine
whether they shall avail them
selves of the opportunity af-
forded to secure such security
as will be entirely satisfactory
to all concerned.

Guarantee on Sewer Cost

A feature of the sewer sys-
tenn which appears to be caus-
ing some apprehension in the
minds of a number of tax pay
ers, is the special provision
relating to payment for the
rock which may be encounter
ed in its construction.
At least one alderman who
processes to have a knowledge
of the ground formation in
Winslow expresses his belief
that 400 yards of rock, the
estimate of the engineer, will
fall far short of what will act
ually be found. Upon this
belief he predicts the cost of
the sewer will exceed the
amount of the bond issue.
Our present understanding of
the nature of such agreements
is that no contractor would
be willing to assume the risk
of taking the work unless pro-
tected against possible excess
of rock, by a provision requir-
ing that a yardage price be
paid for it. At any rate that
assumption seems to have
obtained among the members
of the council in letting the
work upon that basis.
Mr.. Bullock, the engineer,
stakes his professional reputa-
ton on the correctness Of his
estimate and voluntarily filed

civic duties, We suggest how
ever in all fairness TO MIR. La
Prade that his presnt activity I'm
trying to stop a sewer project
that he voted to start, may ac
count for his neglect in discontin-
uIng the manure way station
on his lot and the removal OF the
high hurdle from his street cross
ing.
As to your inquiry about what
can be done further, we believe
the time is now ripe to bring the
matter to a happy conclusion
and this may be done most ex-
peditiously by a little action in
which the health commissioner
and street commissioner would
be complainants, alderman La
P + a d G, defendant, and F. II.
Waite, presiding Judge. Finally,
in all good feeling toward so
prominent citizen, we desire to
express the hope that the action
above prescibed will not deprive
him of his liberty to fulfil his
many and arduous duties to
himself and h G municipality
His services to the community
are too valuable to be dispensed
with; but a reasonable and sub
stantial fine would sufficiently
subserve the public welfare and
incidentally remind the dlstil.-
guished alderman that even
member of the common councI
is amenable to city ordinances.

Editor, Winslow Mail
Jan. 18th l appeared before the
common council of Winslow and
registered two complaints again

for keeping a large pile of manure
on his lot and the other was
because of the dangerous and
unsightly condition of the street
crossing in front of his house
which was caused by the alder
man dumping a lot of dirt and
brickbats where he claims there
had been little depression. The
street complaint was referred by
the aldermen to the proper COM
mite and | am informed that
the street commissioner notified

order. Although it is a mont

Commenting on the recen

Commenting on the recent
election in a congressional
district of Missouri, which
resulted in a democratic vic
tory by an unprecedented
maj ority, the Arizona Repub-
lican says:
"By-elections are never re-
liable barometers of the coun-
try, for they are not held un-
der the conditions which pre-
vail in a general election. The
republicans took no particular
interest in this contest. They
knew it was impossible to cap
ture the district, and they had
only the skeleton of an organ
ization.
Well perhaps SO; but if it be
true that the republicans just
laid down and submitted to
ignominious defeat without
offering any resistance, we
will have to assume that Secre-
tary Hitchcock, five congress
men and an ex-senator, all re-
publicans, were attracted to
that district during the cam
paign by the salubrtiy of the
climate.
