Primary Election Cost

The cost of tine late primary election
in Amador county was approximately
$500. While this is heavy toll for
SIMPLY furnishing candidates for the
various Offices to be filled by election,
1t is moderate in comparison with
some counties. In Sacramento the
expense run up to $40, 900. When the
cost per capita is considered, however,
Amador stands pretty we'll up to the
top of the list There were less than
1900 votes cast in this county, so that
the cost per vote was about $3.50.
The aggregate cost was considerably
more than at a general election-state
or presidential. The next legislature
will no doubt amend the law so as to
make more economical as well as more
efficient. Taxpayers will not be salts
fed to pay so heavily for simply nam
ing candidates for office.

Election Proposition

Many arc inquiring the reason for
the supervisors calling the special
election on the question of estabhs h
ing a county high on the day prior to
the general election. 1t is commended
that the two elections on succeeding
days-7th and sth November be
apt to interfere one with the other.
The only plea that has been advanced
for this action by the supervisors is
that it will save the expense of one
distribution of electric booths and
supplies. One trip over the county
will answer for both elections. This
seems to be running the economy idea
into the ground. The few dollars saved
by this arrangement does not begin to
Offset the inconvenience of the voters
accustomed thereby. Certainly voters
distant from a polling place are not
likely to make the two trips necessary
to cast a ballot at both elections.

Deafness Can not be Cured

by local applications as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-

tachian Tube. When this tube is in

imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can oe

Arrested in
CaIdVeraS County.

Bert Hancock was arrested at Camp
Seco last Monday, on warrant issued
by w. l.. Rose. justice of the peace
at Suffer Creek, on complaint of his
wife, charging him with neglecting to
provide for his family. The warrant
was served by the authorities of Gala
veras county, and the accused was
lodged in Jail at San Andreas. Sheriff
Gregory went over there Tuesday, and
brought the defendant to Jackson, and
placed him in the county jail On
Wednesday he was taken to Suffer
Greek to answer to the charge
Some time ago Hancock was married
to Mrs Prout, who was a resident Of
this town for several years. She was
then widow, with several children,
two of who were minors, between ten
and fifteen years of age. After
time the family returned to this
county, living at Suffer Greek, Han
cock securing work at the South
Eureka mine. According to his ac
count, after receiving his pay he went
around and paid his bills, as far as the
money would go. This was his habit,
as he wished to deal honestly with all.
A difference arose between him and
his wife on financial matters, and he
left some three weeks ago. He OBJ
tanned work at the copper mine at
Camp Seco, and had been working
there about week when arrested on
this charge. 1t is said he had not re-
ceived any pay up to that time. The
affair has given birth to good deal of
unfavorable comment. Hancock has
no children of his own.

Clinton Sept. 20.-Tomorrow is the
opening day of the Presbyterian col
lege of South Carolina and the streets
are already gayer for the groups of
jolly students going to and fro.

be unusually large, but Mr. A. e.

pressed himself as very proud of the
quality of the students who have en-
gagged rooms. The domitory VIII be

Whereas there have been many girls
from the town there will be only ten
in attendance this year.

The boys intend to fight for the base
ball championship this year. Foul

luck at other times brought down their
average below what their actual quail

To the public the faculty may be
of more interest than the baseball and
athletic achievements. The faculty is
stronger than it has ever been. Prof.
Spencer will act as president until the
board is able to select man who is

Conservation of Men.

The conservation movement now in
progress has for it's end to preserve
for future generations of men the
natural resources of the earth. But it
goes without saying that the move
ment is useless unless there are to be
future generations of men capable Of
utilizing those resources. Thoughtful
persons are beginning to wonder
whether this is assured. Man is the
product of two sets of agencies which
we summarize in the terms heredity
and environment The question has
often been asked which of these is the
more important but with this We need
not concern ourselves. Both are IN
dispensable. Seed and soil combined
assure a harvest, but if either is lack
ing no harvest can be expected. In
an article in the Popular Science
Monthly Professor w. E. Castle de-
clares that the public is awakening
to the importance of providing man.
kind with a proper environment
through the agencies Of sanitation,
education and good government, and
this is we'll This assures q suitable
soil in which a crop Of healthy human
beings may develop. But what of the
seed? This question has not yet been
seriously considered. Only in England
has it been more than suggested.
There Francis Cation and his asso-
ciates in the eugenics movement have
started an inquiry as to why it is that
the average physical condition of the
English nation is declining although
more and more attention is constantly
being given to improving the environ
ment Likewise in Germany statistics
show a steadily declining proportion
of the young men At for military
service. There Is suspicion in the
minds of many that these nations are
the new generation of citi-
zens chiefly from inferior family and
racial stocks.
