as at home, with the noble and patri-
otto motives that are supposed to in
f1uence the voters. We often find
difficulty in Distinguishing the views
of the different parties, and we rarely
see an attempt to secure mere partis-
an advantage. On the other hand, if
we read or listen to some of the
speeches in the German Parliament.
the Reichstag, we see, as with our
selves, direct attempt to catch votes
we hear his opponent scharge speak
er with attempting to influence the
voters instead Of to convince his COL
leagues. and we note the same distinc-
tion between clearness insight, full
ness of information, ignorance and
prejudice that we find among our
speakers at home. If we talk with
party managers or with citizens
familiar with political methods, we
find, even more than at home. the at
tempt to secure party advantage by
combinations of different actions,
trading of votes, and prediction pro-
misses.
And yet there are many differences
to be noted. Instead of our two-or
shall we say three?-great parties in
the United States, there are in Ger
many no fewer than seventeen re-
cognized parties in the Reichstag, al
though they may be grouped into four
great divisions.
Besides the regular elections at stat
ed intervals-five years in Germany in.
stead of two years, as with us-there
may be also special elections. When
the Emperor dissolves the Reichstag
on the advice of the Imperial Chancel-
lor and with the consent of the upper
house, the Bundesrath. the issue Of
the election is of course clearly de.
fined and is practically one single
issue, that of the pending law which
brought about the dissolution. Five
times since the founding of the en-
pire in 1871 the Reichstag has beer
thus dissolved. The approaching Jan
uary election this year, however, is
that following the expiration of the
regular legislative period of five
years, and, in consequence. the Ger
man politicians are seeking an issue
now as eagerly as were the American
politicians of both parties four year:
ago. From "The German Elections, .

COUNCIL ORDERS
BOOKS ,RE-AUDiTED.

The examination and report by
Expert Accountant H. Wood, who
was paid $1Cs by the outgoing city

Auditor Opdycke's books, was given
scant attention at the meeting of the
new city council Friday night. The
instrument was not accepted not
even read The council voted to
have the work done over again. Who
will do the work is not hnown at
this time.
Some OF those officials who re-
tired to give way for the new ones
are wondering why this is thus.
The city council in its adjourned
session Friday night, took steps
looking to a reduction of water, light
and power rates in this city
There was quite a lengthy discus
sion on the matter. AS the result the
fire committee and the water and
light committee was authorized to
prepare a schedule Of rates and sub
NIT II to the council.
Mayor Smith stated that there was
no question as to the right and pow
or to order the reduction and see
that It was done
The water meter rent still exists,
should not. says the mayor and coun-
ell. Charges to connect a mans
home with the water main must end

Rates for lighting and power
must come down, say all
And they propose to bring about
this mucl desired condition in

ARE YOU WRETCHED IN BAD
WEATHER?
Keeping the Kidneys Well Has Kept
Many Grants Pass People
Well

Many Grants Pass people find that
bad weather brings on dull pain in
the back, or rheumatic aching, neu-
ralgia, nervousness, irritability, and
weakness. If, when you get wet or
cold, it settles on the kidneys" and
there is shivery, chilly sensation
in the back, it shows kidney weak
ness, which is often the beginning
of disease. Doans Kidney Pills
should be used persistently until the
chilly feeling is gone, and the flow
of urine is natural. Doans Kidney
Pills have saved Grants Pass people
much suffering.
J. A. Niday, 903 l street, Grants
Pass, Ore, says: Last winter was
troubled greatly by disordered kid
neys. The kidney secretions passed
too frequently, especially at night,
and during cold weather my back
became lame. The contents of one
box of Doan's Kidney Pills corrected
the kidney weakness and removed
the lameness in my back. This rem
edy is worthy of the strongest en-
dorsement."

Judge Sanderson insisted that only
a few attend the hearing to witness
the pronouncing of sentence on the
clergyman-slayer. The deputies
cleared the corridors of the court
long before his appearance.
When Deputy Cronin appeared in
Richeson's cell, the confessed muir
derer was ready. He was at once
hustled in the prison van to the
courthouse yard and then, taken to
passage below the building and by q
back stairway in the courtroom
through the entrance to the library.
When Richeson entered the court
1t was seen that he was clean shaw
en-, pale and worn, but he seemed in
full possession of his mental facul-
ties. He was much thinner than
when arrested, and had deep creases
in his face. He walked with evident
effort, plainly showing that he still
was suffering from the effects of his
self-mutilation.
The court proceedings occupied
only 15 minutes. District Attorney
Pelletier read the indictment and
then Richesons attorneys announced
that he wished to- withdraw his plea
of not guilty, and to plead guilty to
the charge of murder in the first de-
gree. Pelletier then read Richeson' S
confession which was spread upon
the minutes of the court. Then ne
said "The states evidence in this

this fact, move that the only SEN
