We heard good joke about coal
dealer the other day. A farmer drove
on the scales and said he wanted a
load Of good Hooking, says an ex-
change. The coal dealer weighed his
wagon and told him to get it out Of
certain bin. The farmer drove to
the coal. shed and after looking at the
coal concluded that it was not good
enough for him and drove back: to
the office to tell the dealer. He hap
pened to stop his wagon on the scales!
The dealer weighed the wagon and
stuck his head out Of the door, say
ing, mot very big load this time.

w. 6. Snyder

The nominee for district attorney,
is one of the rising lawyers of Amadol
county. He is native of California.
80 years of age. He has been practic-
ing his profession in Jackson for the
past five years, and is steadily
gaining standing as one of the ablest
and most reliable attorneys in the
county. The district attorneys office
is second to none in Importance in the
administration of county affairs. 1t
requires a man of sound judgment, OF
mental polse under all circumstances
one whose sense of right and duty is
not subject to the influence of par
tisanship, prejudice or passion; one
whose respect for law rises above all
personal considerations. The most de-
plorabIe results are bound to follow
where the legal adviser, whether from
wilfulness or lack of discernment, is
weak in any respect for this office. In
Mr. Synder the county will have a
ever in view the fundamental prin-
ciple of equal rights for all, special
favors for none.
Without any disparagement to the
opposing candidate, we believe the
people are alive to the situation, and
will elect w. G. Snyder to look after
the legal business of the county for
the next four years.

Republican Ticket

We take this opportunity of giving
brief sketch of the candidates on the
republican side who are asking the
suffrages of the voters. We can truly
say that the party never presented to
the voters such list of candidates as
in this campaign. There is not a
weak or vulnerable spot in the ticket.
Every aspirant is physically, intel
lectually, morally and by training
fully equipped for the duties of the
office to which he aspires. Every re.
publican voter can cast his ballot for
every candidate on his ticket with the
utmost confidence that the county's
business will be faithfully attended to
in the event of their election.

Kennedy mine for about three years as
skiptender, and is also whole souled
and genial man. The couple have a
furnished home on the Mason tract,
where they will make their future
home.

How the People Feel,

The Ledger is receiving compliment
tary notices all around on the hcence
muddle. One writer says:
81 guess they are all up against it
now that your paper has made the ques
ton public. There must be something
rotten in Denmark. | am proud of the
stand your paper has taken. When |
hear people trying to down the press,
L am up in arms against them, and
especially when the editor is doing all
in his power to do the county good.
Keep up the fight, Mr. Editor. Public
opinion is with you, heart and soul.
1t is outrageous that one should be
made to pay license and another in the
same business go free.
We may say that the district attorney
was waited upon this week, and re-
quested to take steps for the recovery
of the back license money, and the
stoppage of ,,favoritism. He said he
would look into the law, and see what
could be done. His decision is looked
for daily.
OF course the matter must be pressed
to its final determination by the courts
if necessary. Editor.

Johnson Will
Speak in jackson

Mr. Ellis, the advance agent of
Hiram Johnson, was in Jackson, ar
ranging with the local republican COM
mitteemen for the Johnson meetings
in this county next week. An effort
was made to have the republican can
dldate for governor have a night
meeting in Jackson, but it was with
out avail, as the program had already
been arranged, and no changes in
dates could be made. The governor S
party will consist of seven or eight
persons, including newspaper cores
pondents, in two autos. They will make
the trip from Placerville to Angels
Camp in one day, with brief stops at
each town on the route, the distin-
guished candidate saying a few words
at each place. At Jackson he will
stay for two hours, taking dinner
here, and also making an extended
address of half an hour or more.
Everybody should make an effort to
hear his speech here. He is one of the
best orators California has produced,
and moreover he is in dead earnest in
the policies of state reforms which he
advocates.

Judge Fred v. Wood

Present incumbent and republican
candidate for judge of the superior
court. has been resident of Amador
county for nearly two years. He was
appointed by governor Gillett to fill
the vacancy on the superior bench
caused by the death of Judge R. G..
Rust. He came among us a stranger
to our citizens, but by his ability and
fairness as a judge, and his affable
and genial ways toward all, he has
gained the esteem of the people
generally irrespective of craftsmanship.
He is a native of Wisconsin, 40 years
of age. He has been a resident of
California for about 20 years. For
six years he was police judge of the
city of Oakland, position which he
filled so satisfactorily that the last
term ne served he was elected as an
Independent candidate, winning by a
big margin over the regular party
nominees. One of his first acts upon
his appointment to preside over the
superior court of Amador, was to be-
come identified with the county as a
permanent resident by the purchase of
home on Broadway-the residence
of the late Judge Rust-for himself
and family, which consists of wife
and one son. He is recognized as one
of the ablest and most conscientious
judges in the state, and this is evil
denced by the frequent calls to pre-
side in cases in outside counties.
That he will be retained in the posi-
ton he has filled so well. and that too
by heavy majority, is beyond
question.

Terrible SeIf-IndiCtment

In the discussion on the Ratio license
delinquency before the supervisors last
Monday, it was brought out as rea-
son why Ratio should be let off free.
that while the minutes of the supervi-
sors showed that his free permit was
for six months, still it was privately
understood that the permit was for an
indefinite period-that, in fact, Ratio
was not to pay from that date anyway.
This secret understanding was admitted
by two of the supervisors, by Ratio
and the tax collector. 1t was pleaded
as justification for payment and
collection, and trotted out glee-
fully as clinching the whole business.
And it was clincher truly, but in a
far different sense from that intended.
Probably not one of the parties to the
contract realized the tremendous force
of the self.accusatlon. TO our mind
this admission is the worst feature of
the whole dirty, disgraceful business.
The only meaning we can attach to it
is that the supervisors were deliberate
ly hoodwinkiug their employers the
people whose business they were en-
trusted with. One thing was spread
upon the minutes, and very different
thing was clandestinely entered into
with the parties concerned. The in
ference is that their own approved and
and signed minutes are not to be ac-
copied as full and correct statement
of their proceedings. Amazing propo
sition. Citizens of Amador, think of
this, and grasp its full import if you
can, for we frankly admit that we can
not. For pity sake, how many more of
such private, secret understandings are
outstanding that we wot not of, to be
lined up against the official record.
But the record evidence must prevail
Is it surprising that chairman Burke
should protest. This board is not a
band of highbinders or crooks. " There
are many other points in this wild SEES
