Hollow Log Traps Fish.

THE sHERlFF,s RESPONSIBILITY.

D HE sheriff is under heavy bonds for a faithful performance
of his duties. He is obliged by the varied nature of his
= duties to trust subordinates. If they are not of his selec-
ton and if he is compelled to employ men of whom he knows
nothing personally he should be discharged from his pecuniary
responsibility on their account. But he isn't. For whatever is
done in Office the sheriff alone is responsible. 1t is therefore
both reasonable and just that the sheriff should have the selec-
ton and consequently the full control of subordinates, both to
insure fidelity of duty and to protect his bondsmen. The changes
made BY Sheriff Monahan in the personnel at the county Jail
10 not require any criticism. Whatever other reason may be
assigned for the changes the desire TO have men of his own
Seleetion on guard there in the protection of his own as well as
he public interests would be sufficient. The only concern of the
pebic is 10 see that The Office of sheriff is properly administered

THE ATTORNEY GENERALS SUCCESSOR.

DHE appointment of an attorney general under the incom-
ing administration will be of vastly more Importance
= to railroad and Wall Street interests than that of any
other member of the cabinet. Their desire is for an attorney
general of the Wickersham type, expert in conquering windmnls
and making them appear like dragons PROSTATE at his feet.
With another Wickersham in Office the trusts might feel easy
even if Congress did sthfen the Sherman antitrust law. Evi-
IDENTIFY Wickersham looks for a successor of a different type,
md for that reason, within a few weeks of his retirement, is
anticipating the new administration by initiating and shaping
n,anv trust prosecutions that will be left as a legacy to the
attorney-general who shall succeed him The methods of Wick
rrsham in prosecuting cases have been severely criticised and
the results have been mathematical. If it is his purpose to
tie up his successor to his methods and make him use the same
feeble weapons he is playing a shrewd game that may, however,
only result in embarrassment for another attorney general. 4

THE HOME PILOT

The ideal home life must be piloted
by one with courtesy. consideration
and tact ingrained in her character.
Like a delicate blossom. it cannot
stand the whitening blast of constant
contradiction and argument.
The successful homemaker, mother
of a family, stands for tenderness. JOY
and love in the house, not for bicker-
ing words and nagging tones.
