THE DIFFERENCE IN sHERIFFs

Perhaps Sheriff Nellis should mo-
be criticised harshly for the manner
in which he aas conducted himself
officially since he has been sheriff
More tnan Iilyely-snc the Bulletin
is willing to concede-ne has done
as we'll as he could, acting always to
the best of his judgment. 1t is gem
orally admitted that when man
dnes the best he can, according to
his best Judgment, that Is all that
can be reasonably expected OF him
ut s AZ good as angels can do"
Mems capacities and iudgu ents
vary, however. Some men have
greater capacity and better judgment
than Others, and everything consid-
cred, So far as we know, it may be
the same with angels 1t is the part
ar wisdom to have in the public ser
wee men of good Judgment ana OF
ample capacity to perf6Tm well the
duties that they may be called upop
to perform in the positions to wnieh
they are assigned. Certainly, it is
the part OF wisdom not to retain in
the public service men who have beer
weighed In the baiances and found
wanting
Whether or not, and in what man
ner, Sheriff Nellis has been founc
wanting may perhaps be best deter
mined by comparison between his
official Judgment and conduct ant
that OF some OF his predecessors II
the office. Alexander county has
had some excellent sherffs in years
gone by. In TACT it has had littl'
reason to complain of them until tn'
last few years. Compared to wha
the people OF this city and count,
have gone through during these re
cent years, the official records o
sheriffs previous to these years have
been uneventful. Tais fact nigh
lead some superficial reader to as
sumo that these other sherlffs were
not confronted with the conditions
which tested their judgment ana incl
capacity, as Sheriff Nellis has been
but sucn a conclusion would be al
error. Granting that strong guar
antee OF efficiency comes to an off
Tcial from a test OF his qualities In al
emergency well met, II probably will
be conceded that much stronge
guarantee Of efficiency comes X
him from such official conduct as vii
avert emergencies And 1t IL In bot
these respects that the records Q
n sheriff Nel1is' predecessors stan
N forth In marked contrast to the recor
Y he has made.

Indiana liability Law Upheld.

The Indiana employers liability law
has been upheld in q decision rem
dered by the United States supreme
court The Louisville and Nashville
railway tested the law. 1t appears
that under this decision not only liz
the employer liable for damages for
injuries sustained by workman. but
where q contractor does work for a
corporation the latter can be made a
party to suit for damages If the
worker is injured.

Telegraphcrs employed by the Post
al Telegraph company in Chicago at
a recent meeting embodied resolutions
calling on the company to grant Its
employees the right TO join labor
unions. More than 200 applications for
membership In the Photographers union
were made at the meeting. The recent
discharge Of three operators by the
company officials for alleged assistance
to strike OF CHECK" boys was the
reason for the meeting The operators

if Hodges. On one occasion q negro
had attem pied an. assault upon an
aged white woman and band of
enraged citizens went to the court
house to wreak vengeance upon the
offender Good old Dick Fitzgerald
mad charge OF the Jail at that time.
He met them on the street a short
distance from the court house aud
dissuaded them from carrying out
their threats OF vengeance.
On another occasion, while Alex
ander Fl. Irwin was sheriff, barber
named Eschbach who kept shop on
lower Commercial avenue, was stab
he'd to death by 2 pilot named Gup-
ton, In this case also angry cit
zens to the number Of several hu
bred went to the court house to tato
the law into their own hands; but
Sheriff Irwin had ta1en mis- prisoner
to tie home OF a citizen tWm. VI.
Norris and the citizens marched
away as they had come, and the
was no tragedy. Sheriff Irwin had
less time in whicl to act than Sheriff
Nelis had; but he acted differeatly
sand more wisely He did not call to
his all gang Of irresponslhles,
lplace guns into their hands, station
them behind darkeaed win lows and
permit the citizens (lawless though
they were) to run into an ambush
ana be shot down like dogs.

But the records OF former sheriffs
present also a conspicuous contrast
with that of Sheriff Netlis in the
matter OF duty well performed as the
county's highest conseryators OF the
peace. These men did not stand Idly
with their hands in tnair pockets
when a brutal murder was committed
in the city, doing nothing to appre-
bend the murderer. because there
wasn't anything lin it' for them,
lThey had proper sense of their duty

evil doors during his term of Office
as sheriff. Few offenders against the
terminal code Of the state ever get
Iaway from him, for he pursued them
lalmost to the ends OF the earth u
necessary and mis- allowance as shei
Iif was not any more than is that al
Sheriff Nellis today. Many stories
are told OF how Irwin hunted down
men guilty OF crime, brought them
into court and had them sent to the
penitentary, some Of them quite san
satiional. On one occasion man

deputy John Holmes, pursued them
lin another skim caught the culprits
under cover OF thieMy grown
lportlon OF the bank fifteen miles
down stream, and brought them back

| On another occasion one Heneamt
had killed another man named Run
liner. The case was similar to that
of Jim White of Saturday week ago
Hencamp tried TO get away by cross

deputies secured the city keeping

Scores of cases might be related,
all tending to show that the idea
which in recent years seems to have
been held by the sheriffs OF Alexan-
der county--that they were there
merely to collect taxns and fees--did
not enter the heads of the sheriffs of
former years. In thoee days the
