4 N0N-PRT|SAA JUDICIARY

Those people who are bowling
about. a non-partisan Judiciary
seem to think 1T is necessary to
vote for a republican Judge in
order to keep the judiciary free
from politics. In this judicial dis
trict there are two candidates for
the judgeship. One is a republi-
can and the other is a democrat.
Admitting that. they are equals in
ability. integrity and every qualifi-
cation necessary to make able and
impair tial judges why is it, neces-
sary to vote for the republican in
order to secure non.partisan
judiciary. Mr.. Taber and Mr..
Horsey are both partisans in the
higher and better sense of that
term. If Mr.. Taber is elected, we
cannot believe that a. republican
would have any better standing
before his court than democrat.
On the other hand we do not believe
that the mere fact that a man is a
democrat would gain him any
favor from Mr.. Horsey if he
should be elected.
The talk or insihuation that it
is necessary to vote for Mr.. Taber
in order to keep the judiciary free
from politicsi'is a delusion and a
snare to entice democratic voters
to his support. Democrats should
not listen to any such silly. argu-
ment. Neither Mr.. Taber nor Mr..
Horsey will be partisans on the
bench and the judiciary will: be
just as free, from ipolitics by the
election Of the one as the other.
Democrats. beware of such argu-
ments as they are only made to
catch votes;s .Ns.rr

''HOB0S" DISCUSS PROHIBITION

A discussion of prohibition by
members of the Brotherhood Wei.
fare Association at st. Louis. better
known as "How's Hobos," brought
forth a number of unique ideas
on the disposition of the liquor
problem. Chairman James Eads
How declared the temperance
problem was essentially problem
for the unemployed man, and
asked that his hearers take up its
solution as one of the peculiar
duties" of their class. Mr.. How
had barely finished his remarks
before one of the rank and file,
speaking with a strong Teutonic
accent declared the solution lay
in the removal of the tax on the
manufacture Of liquor. IF the
tax is removed" the declared
"whiskey and beer would be sold
30 cheap that the drunkard could
drink enough to kill himself and
we would be rid of his kind. You
could get.a gallon of whiskey for
II cents. a. key of beer for 20
cents and1it would sell at the
saloons for l cent a glass;" How
declared that the temperance
problem became peculiarly a
problem Of the great drifting body
of unemployed, because q con-
siderable portion of their earnin gs
went across the bars of the lower
class saloons. This is especially
true of the American-born laborer,
he said, as the foreigners drink
with more judgement.

HOW PROTECTED" MEN LIVE

Two-thirds of the steelworkers
receive a wage no greater than $12
a week; only one-6fth receive more
than SIS. Let us see what a wage
Of :$12 will do in Pittsburg.
Fortunately we are able to draw
upon MissByington's careful study
of the budgets of 80 Homestead
families. Thirty-twe Of these had
less than $12 a week. Their
average weekly expenditures were
S9.l8-or at the rate of $477.36 a
year. e..
How do the families fare who
spend from $12 to ,$15 week?
Miss ByinGton gives us the items
for Is families in this wage group,
with an average total expenditure
of 1882, or scant. 500 a year.
These families pay about $40 a
month rent, but ten of them live
with more than two persons to a
room and only five have city water
in the house. They pay on an
average "a cents per man per day
for food, but four of the sixteen
spend less than % cents. Clothing
they buy at the rate of $8l.64 q
year. Fifty cents a. week for in.
surance provides only for burial,
should death occur. The only
item that looks hopeful is the
margin of 1888 for all other
expenditures. But the families
in this group were not self-indul-
gent; 20 cents paid the weekly bill
for liquor and tobacco, Al cents
went for medical service, az cents
for furnishings and minor house.

for car fare, papers. recreation,

many years, was arrested yesterday by
the federal authorities for having un-
stamped smoking opium in his possess
sion The arrest was made by W. H.
Tidwell, deputy special agent of the
trea sury department at Washington
d. c Besides six tael tins of opium
half dozen layoUts and shells ready
for smoking were seized.
Finn refused TO state where he had
obtained the unstamped opium. He
claimed that no smoking had gone on
in the joint for some time.
United States Commissioner E. H.
Heacock held Finn under $500 bail
setting his hearing for II o'clock to-
morrow morning. Finn was accom-
panied by his aged father, James Finn,
when he appeared before the commits
sioner. The father tried to secure
bail for his son, but failed, and the
defendant was taken to the Alameda

Special Agent Tidwell is inclined to
believe that the opium seized was
