GAVE PEOPLE HONEST DEAL
Election Judge Took Precautions to
Prevent Customary stuffing Of
Ballot Box.

1t would be unfair to tell the
name Of the author Of this story; but
it is too good to pass up.
In Tennessee not many years ago
it was a sport and a science in some
sections to stuff the ballot boxes 80
that, no matter how the people voted,
the machine candidates won. In one
little town an enthusiast for honest
government was named as one Of the
board Of three election judges. His
two companions were ready to slip
into the ballot box enough votes to
elect their man; but they could not
get the honest Judge to leave the
voting booth long enough for them
to turn the trick. Finally, after he
had refused to leave long enough for
lunch, all three went to a neighbor-
ing hotel for haSty meal.
The honest Judge, who was also
very devout, put the ballot box on
the floor between his feet and, shut
ting his eyes, bowed his head for sew
eral minutes while he asked the
blessing on the meal.
While he was doing this the other
two stuffed the box, and the machine
candidates had a staggering ma
jority. And to this day the honest
judge adyertises the fact that for
once he made the election judges
give the people of his town an honest
deal.

Besides offering a fine program
for July 6-16, the Board are pre-

scale, the Quarter-Centennial of
this great southwest Assembly,
the second oldest in the state.
July 10 has been set apart as Rec

Many of the early day workers
and patrons of the movement have
already been heard from and have
promised to come and join in the
rejoicing of this reunion, A cir
culal letter of invitation to Old
Timers is now being put in the
mail. This letter is attractively
printed in two colors and bears in
one corner the lines of the great
loving-hearted Holmes to his class

to the east; probably due to the fact
that corn further north natures ear
lier because Of the comparatively
shorter season; and for this reason
is better adapted for growing in this
locality than are the later, eastern
varieties. This same principle will
naturally apply to any given locality.
In case it is necessary to plant eastern
grown seed, early maturing varieties
are preferable and the late large
growing corns should be avoided al
together.

thing to do is to obtain seed from the
nearest locality that has a similar soil

been grown considerable distance to

be avoided If good seed, grown in
about the same longitude or farther
west, is available.

~ HE season of 1910 was an I'M
duction of corn in the western
favorable one for the pro-
half Of the state, consequently very
little corn of good quality was pro
duced. AS a result, good seed corn
is scarce and greatly in demand, while
many farmers were able to secure
sufficient seed for their own planting,
the great majority Of them do not
have good seed for sale, or do not
make a practice Of trying to save any
more than they themselves will use.
Therefore, it will be necessary for
many prospective corn growers to OBJ
tain seed from sources other than in
their immediate locality. AS the short
age of the corn crop was almost uni.

WILL HORSTMANN
GIVE EVIDENCE?
Lively Finish to Kalbfus
Quiz Looked For.

Testimony of a sensational nature or
clashes between counsel is anticipated
at the session of the excise board hear
ing tomorrow morning. F. Oden Horst
mann, former District saloon inspector,
has been subpoenaed at the request of
Frank J. Hogan, attorney for Samuel T.
Kalbfus
At the session Monday afternoon Mr..
Hogan stated that If the hearing was
not concluded then and there he would
reserve the right to question Mr. Horst
mann along any line he saw fit. Because
of this statement it is believed that Mr.
Hogan will attempt to pry into the pri-
vate life of Mr.. HOrstmann. II. Preston
Galley, attorney for Mr.. Horstmann, an
nOunced Monday afternoon that he would
advise Mr.. HOrstmann to decline TO an
swer any questions dealing with his pri-
vate life.
HOrstmnnn May Be Silent.
If the former saloon inspector refuses
to attend the hearing. an attachment will
be served on him. Mr.. Hogan can put
to him any questions he chooses but
it is believed Mr.. Horstmann will take
the advice of counsel and remain silent.
But such tactics, If pursued, are likely
to lead Mr.. Horstmann into the Police
Court, for the Commissioners have the
authority to turn over to that tribunal
for prosecution, on a charge of contempt,
persons who refuse to answer any of
the questions put to them. The Commits
sioners have the right to subpoena wit
nesses, compelling their attendance, and
refer to- the courts all cases of contempt
These powers are given the board by law.
After Mr.. Horstmann has been placed
on the witness stand Mr.. Hogan will
sum up the case and present his defense
of Mr. Kalbfus. As there are no charges
officially before the Commissioners, Mr..
White, assistant corporation counsel, will
submit the case without argument. The
investigation probably will come to a
termination tomorrow afternoon, and
the Commissioners will render their de-
cision within two weeks.
The most important result looked for
as an outcome of the investigation is the
separation of the excise board and the
board of assistant assessors. Legisla-
ton regarding the regulation Of the num-
Der Of liquor establishments in the Dis
trict will also probably be framed.
