Boss Summers denies the allega-
lions land defies the alligator, in
toto. Some of the charges of the ex-
postmaster, says Mr.. Summers, are not
new, and have been made heretofore,
investigated and found to be nothing
in them. One or two of the minor
charges are admitted to be true, and
the defendant explains and throws
himself on the mercy of the court.
Lew is an all around good fellow, but
his days, as dispenser of patronage
and political boss of this district are
written down in the book of fate as
numbered, and he had just as well
put his house in order, and prepare
to move, so say some of the knowing
ones. Next year is house cleaning
year from garnet to cellar.

Fuller in Defence

Ordway Fuller, a member of the
Richmond bar, and former represent
tative of this city in the House OF
Delegates, thinks that Congressman
w. A. Jones did both the judiciary
and the lawyers of this State a great
injustice in his Richmond speech,
when he referred to certain Judges
seeking the 80 K.' of Senator Mar
tin in their efforts to get elected.
"The broad statements of Mr..
Jones not only reflect upon the whole
Judiciary of the Commonwealth. said
Mr. Fuller, "but constitute an affront
to the bar. Mr.. Jones obviously does
not know the manner in which judges
are elected in Richmond. When there
is 7acan-y on the bench of any of
our courts the Richmond Bar Associa-
ton meets and endorses candidate
for the judgeship. Since time imme-
mortal that endorsement has been
equivalent to election. The choice of
the Bar Association is accepted by
the Legislature invariably. 1t may be
seen, therefore, that the judges of
courts in Richmond are really elected
by the lawyers, the action of the Leg
islature being to great extent per-
functory. "-Ricbmond Journal.

places by the will of Senator Thomas
Staples Martin. For our part we do
not very much care whether this
charge is true or false, inasmuch as
the coterie of judges, from the Court
of Appeals down to Judge Kegley, of
Taz-w well, are all, generally speaking,
first class men, proving that the
" Boss is pre-eminently fitted for
the job of selecting judges. AS this pa
per said sometime ago, about the
machine" and the state govern
ment being run from Washington, if
this be the case it speaks volumes in
praises of the wisdom and good judg-
ment of the powers that be, for every
thing is moving along finely in the
State - roads, education, schools,
pensions, charitable institutions, etc. =,
and, as we said before, it strikes us,
that if it were contended that Messrs.
Martin and Swanson had nothing
whatsoever to do with the present
condition of things, appointment of
Judges included-the discounting of
these gentlemen would be an easier
task. However, the charge has been
made that candidates for appointment
to the judiciary of the state, must
bend the knee to Boss Martin, and no
names given or specification made.
How are we to get at the facts
Either Mr.. Jones or the judges them
selves must give the facts. If it is a
crime to secure the influence of Mr..
Martin for election or appointment to
office let the criminal be pointed out,
and the skirts of every innocent mar
cleared. Let the roll be called.

TOWN ORDINANCES

Has this town set of rules and
ordinances !? Did you ever see a copy
of them? Did the sergeant ever see
or read copy? Does he know the
full scope of his duties? The town
should have the ordinances printed in
cheap form, and copies distributed
generally among the people. We do
not know what's what. There might
be better and more faithful admin
istration of the town affairs if this
were done. 1t is suggested that the
new conuncil when elected, look into
this matter.

AN IMPORTANT SUGGESTION
TO TOWN COUNCIL

A new council has been nominated
and will be elected to office and as
sumo charge of affairs early in next
month. 1t would be qualification to
taxpayers to know just how matters
stand. 1t has been a long time since
publication of the financial standing
of the town was made. The people
know absolutely nothing of what be-
comes of their money, so far as can
be seen very little expenditure is
made in street improvement or other
wise. Just how and where the taxes.
fines, ETC., are spent no one, outside
the council, knows. The people have
a right to know. They are wondering
and asking questions. 1t would be
good thing and the beginning of a
new administration, good time to
have Clearing House, statement.
Straighten out the old books and be-
gin new. Will the new council make
itself felt and do the proper thing,
or just go along in the same old ruts ?
The council should get busy. If the
nominees agree to serve they should
serve. We want an administration
that will be "cussed" and criticised.
A council. pleasing everybody ant
never heard from is figureheat
council, and not much good. Wei
see what we'll see.

At this writing, Monday morning.
the drought is still on, in all this
section. Very light showers fell last
week in Thompson Valley and OH low

do any good to the burning crops.
The weather is some cooler, owing to
storm prevailing in the northwest

is no indication of rain. The situa-
ton is serious. Young grass and oats
are most beyond redemption now, and
meadows are seriously damaged.

Now For The Senate

The democratic house of represent
tativcs is receiving congratulations on
the farmers free list bill. The bill
passed the house by vote of 236 to
100. Every democrat voted for the
bill and they were reinforced by
twenty four republicans. These re-
publicans who were brave enough to
break from their party and vote their
convictions are deserving of high
credit. Public sentiment is so clearly
in line with this free list bill that it
is difficult to understand why any
senator not controlled by special in
terests would oppose it. 1t is to be
hoped that the senate will pass the
measure without unnecessary delay.

promising to do the best he can in

correct. There would be no sense or
reason, it seems to us, in turning am

date of his conversion, unless his mast
record had been such as to make him
an undesirable member. Is not the
principle about the same. which
would prohibit a Republican from
voting in a Democratic primary fo-
the reason that he did not voto tho

election? If man wants TO vote IN

cruits or growth. 1t seems TO us that
the state committee was wise in re-
fusing to prohibit Republicans who
pledge themselves to vote the ticket
nominated, from voting in the Sen
TENDER primary. The history of re-
cent campaigns shows that a large
number of Republicans have been de-
sorting the ranks of the old party
and let nothing be thrown in their
way--no stumbling blocks. The mis-
sion of the Democrats is to sinners no
well, and for goodness sake, if the
sinners have repented and want to
come. give them the glad hand.
