10 the EuttOf or The Times:
Permit me to correct an erroneous
impression which your paper seems
TO have regarding the item OF 81 900
appearing in the school board bud
sc. for auditing purposes.
The idea OF the writer, when this
matter was placed before the board
at Its meeting TO consider the budget
Was 10 secure better and more CON-
plete audit or the secretary's books
than Is now and has heretofore been
made, and / suggested that an
amount be asked for sufficient TO coy
er the cost OF securing the services
OF firm OF certified public account.
ants 10 make a complete audit at in
tervals OF every three months. My
suggestion was not favored by some
of the board for the reason that We
have a city accountant who is sup
posed 10 attend to such work, where
upon | stated my belief that the city
accountants audit was too Irregular
and not sufficiently far-reaching. it
being only a verification of figures
and not thorough audit Another
inspector suggested that the city &C
countant's work being SO voluminous,
he did not have time for a thorough
audit OF the boards books-hence
the item TO secure assistance for him,
he TO be in absolute control of such
help and TO make his own appoint.
nent, and | understand from good
authority that when the matter was
later brought 10 his attention, he
thoroughly favored the plan and
stated that 81 900 was not more than
enough TO cover il.
James G. Began Is not a candidate
for such position, nor has such posi-
ton been rendered him. Mr.. Gadd
has absolutely nothing to do with the
appointment, SO far as know. and l
want TO state that II is not, nor never
has been, my purpose TO dictate who
the city accountant shall appoint.
Respectfully,

OF the people being defeated to the
least possible minimum.
Perhaps the most glaring defect
in our present system is the ease
with which the judicial branch OF
our government is able TO undo the
work OF our law-making bodies. We
elect representatives and senators
with certain restrictions as TO age,
years OF residence and term of Of
flee We send them to Washington
By the hundreds. We divide them in
TO two houses, that the one may
check every hasty action of the
other. After all this precaution our
laws are sometimes declared uncon-
stitutional as in the income tax law
during the Cleveland administration,
and this by q court whose judges are
appointed for life by the president.
Several ways suggest themselves to
remedy this defect.
In Switzerland, the federal judiciary
Is not allowed to declare void any
act of the legislature. IL must accept
as valid all acts OF the legislature.
or course, this plan is open TO the
objection that in case We got bad
laws We would be barred from get
ting any redress in the courts. l be-
lieve the practical solution of the
problem lies In the recall system.
l believe in the primary, too. The
advocates of these reforms are brand
ed as radicals and neurotics, but this
criticism comes from those who seek
TO ain=an-undue= regard for great
wealth at the expense OF every fair
and equitable right of mankind.
Democracy should not allow special
interests TO get control OF the party
IN the coming fight. The govern
ment belongs TO the people and its
control should be put as directly In
their hands as possible.
The greatest statesmen we ever
produced have repeatedly declared
their faith In the united judgment OF
the people.

twenty rounds on Labor day, trained
before capacity camps Yesterday.
From the interest displayed this bout
might be a worlds championship
,svent instead Of a meeting of two
|boys who are battling for the privil-
eye Of a chance at Wolgast's title.
From all indications there will not be

southern favorite face each other.
Rivers has a big retinue' of SPAR
ring partners. using Charley Dalton,
Johnny Schiff. Tommy Mcfarland
and Brother" Andy Rivers. The
Mexican is growing fast and it is
limited that making the lightweight
limit Is none too easy for Rivers. 1t
is certain that he will weigh 1873
pounds to the last ounce when he
steps on the scales. That Mandot
breathes easier in this respect is
shown by the Frenchman's offer to
have the scales placed inside the
ropes and weigh a few seconds before
the bell rings.
1t was a curious crowd of the faith
full that gathered at the Vernon camp
to take a first look at Mandot.
Joe shadow boxed for a few minut-
es and punched the bag a while as a
starter. The New Orleans lad then
boxed fou: fast rounds with Jimmy
Evans. Joe then took on Hobo"
Doughterty for two rounds and the
rough way he e. after Wolgast's
former partner made Dougherty

In the betting Rivers has been
made a 10 to s favorite. with all of
h Mandot money being covered as
fast as 1t mes up.
