JOHN B. REID ANSWERS
MR.. WARDS CARD
To the Public:

sheriff I am running FOR the office not against

II seems however that Mr.. Ward is not only
running for the office, but seeks to obtain it by
regulating how I shall conduct my campaign,
even to denying my right to be frank and open
with the people whose confidence am inviting.
The office of chief deputy to the sheriff is

election regret their ballot for successful candl

of his chief deputy How are the people to know
that even Mr. Ward, if successful, might not APP
point some incompetent Objectionable pet or
kinsman for that high postg However righteous
their indignation, it would then be too late.
Is not Mr. Wards large type objection to my
announcement that, if elected, I will appoint Mr..
George r. Bodeker chief deputy in line with that
policy of conceament, of playing both sides,
which man without platform necessarily

the hare and play with the hounds himself, but in
sists on my doing SO.
Mr.. Ward says Mr.. Lucien Brown is not to be
his chief deputy WHO Isl The people have

details of the office and of the office itself in the
absence of the sheriff.
Let him also tell how he stands on the fee sys-

Is he opposed to it, evens
In my platform have made it plain that, if
elected, I shall know no in the execution of

How else are the people to know how much money
this office costs them? And what objection can
any candidate have to this unless he has some
thing to hide!
AS part Of my policy and platform Of open

know who will be my chief deputy if am elected.
No more competent man can be found in this
county.

the commission would not suspend the

The Norwegian consul general in
Copenhagen has issued a warning in
the Norwegian press against the serial
bond lotteries in Copenhagen. The
Copenhagen sNationaltidende admits
that this warning is far from Aattering
to the Danes, but it is timely. Copen-
hagen has gradually become the hot
bed of a number of obscure banking
and money institutions which in reality
are branches of German lotteries,
which are prohibited in Germany. The
situation at the present time is this.
says the Nationaltidende:: Now that
the sale of premium bonds" has been
prohibited in Germany, the smart Ger
mans, by the aid of Copenhagen busi-
ness men, have opened Offices in Cop
enhagen, from which the notorious
premium bonds are sent out. Indeed,
the sale OF premium bonds is prohibit
ed in Denmark too, but the sale abroad
is not prohibited. In Norwegian, Swe-
dish and German factories may be seen
prospectuses adorned with the names
OF some Of the Copenhagen business
men, and many are those who are
duped by the fantastic offers made
even to people of small means. Vain
attempts have been made to reach the
evil by means of police authorities.
The police are handicapped because
there is'no law prohibiting the traffic

I. DR.. Sven Hedin, the famous explorer
of Central Asia, and August Strind-
berg, the greatest living dramatist in
Scandinavia, have been engaged in q
bitter newspaper controversy for
months past, the one trying to belittle
the other as much as possible. But
this warfare was not dignified enough.
Strindberg wrote up new book and
handed 1t at Hedin, and in few days
the latter hurled back a book three
times as large.
Every now and then the anti-mili-
tarists are smuggling literature into
the military establishments of Swe-
den. Sometimes they reveal a good
deal of ingenuity in avoiding a clash
with the authorities. The other day,
for instance, ten copies of an anti
military tract was found at a fort in
Karlskrona,; the repository of the dan
gerous document being an old pair
Of shoes which had been sent outside
of the fort for repairs. The title of
the tract was, "The Nonsense Of Our
Military Defences." A comprehensive
machinery was at once in motion for
the purpose OF detecting the perpe-
TRAITOR of the deed.
A delegation of city officials Of Lon
don recently visited Stockholm mainly
for the purpose of studying its public
institutions. The Englishmen agreed
to man that the public school houses
of Stockholm were too expensive. In
London the people cannot afford such
costly school houses. The Englishmen
were also inclined to think that it was
not for the real benefit of the children
to have them get used to the Injuries
offered by the newest school houses of
Stockholm. The Englishmen express
ed similar views with regard to some
of the other public institutions, such
as the court house and the hospitals.
No one should blame the people of
Stockholm for being little proud on
account of these utterances.
