Some Jobs for Uncle Sam.

Perhaps, when the evidence is all
in, he arguments made and the case
prayerfuIly considered, Uncle Sam
may consider Postmaster General
Hitchcock's proposition to buy the
telegraph lines. Were there no feder-
al patronage bugbear in the way, Tor
politicians to make use of and wran-
gle over, it seems TO Us that there are
other conditions open TO improvement
that need it quite as much as the
telegraph service
suppose our postal service be inn
proved and at the same time made
a revenue producing business, enough
so that Uncle sam might refuse furth-
er to recognize the liquor traffic or al
low The interstate commerce law TO
violate state moral and constitutional
rights.
And. meantime, suppose our Uncle
Samuel spend his surplus energy in
regulating" some of the big bust
nesses which are daily defying the
law and rohbing the people.

Sheriff Mooers.
fPnrtland Pres.

A1ufliaHAl its7sp
sheriff Nooers of Somerset is
Democrat and has been twice elected
on the Democratic tickets but ne =
also a Democrat who believes the law
is the law and should not be nullihed
but should he enforced by those whose
duty it is. whether they like 1t or not.
Holding such a view of his duty and
acting upon it, he has been elected
repeatedly in a strong Republican
conntv. But they do say that Sher-
iff Mooers has lost his. popularity with
an element of his party in Somerset,
that his activity in pulling in the rum
sellers has become obnoxious ana
pernicious 10 them. and that they are
planning 10 turn him down at the
nrimaries The anti Nooers faction
puts it on the ground that he has had
the office long enough and that some
body else should now have turn,
according TO the Jaeksonian principle
of rotation. This is we'll enough for
an excuse. or would be il it were not
so thin. OF course il is easily seen
through and the real object perceived
which is to get Moeers out of the
way and put in somebody who may
be depended upon to be more lenient
with the rumsellers. The Covered

cations, would he able To defeat
Mooers for the nomination.
But that would not spell the last
word Under the law it is open 10
anybody to become a candidate on

the Republicans. Possibly the Demo-
cratic organization will not be able to
defeat the denomination of Mooers,
but whether it is able or not. it would
seem good policy for the Republicans
to endorse this faithful sheriff by put
ting him on their own ticket and thus
ensuring his election for another term.
