DEMOCRATIC FOLLY.

The Woodrow WilsOn-WattrrSon
up but recently is one that is calcu-
lated to prove a permanent obstacle
in the way OF rendering to Mr.. Will

the Presidency. .Mr Wilson's atti-
tude toward Co. Harvey was. to say
abe least; indicative Of woful lack
G,f trct, if indeed 1t does not show a
thorough absence Of one Of the high
est attributes Of humanity-Srati-
tude. 1t was Col. Harvey, undoubt-
,edly, who found" Mr. Wilson and
brought him into the prominent ma
tional position he has held for some
time. 1t was Harvey more than any
other person who held him before
the American public and lionized him
to a degree that was fast carrying
him far in the lead Of others men
toned as Democratic Presidential
possibilities. And the beauty Of
HRrvey's support was that it Sprang
rom the dictates OF conscience ilar-
vey believed in his man with the
same Unfaltering faith with which
he supported him.
But Mr.. Wilson has been listening
no the prattlc Of others--he has be-
isun to play the game of politics, and
DDlitics is rotten to the core. In
seeking alliances in questionable
quarters and under questionable con-
rlitions, he placed himself in an un-
>saVory position, aligning himself
wilh forces directly opposed to the
grtat force to which he owed his
standing in relation to public affairs.

livery.

Pointing out that a fire hazard
exists in the plan of lighting
the {, barns and sheds at the
county farm. and that there is
danger from fire, the grand jury rec
omn1ends in its report made to the
court that the lighting system Of these
buildings be changed. Attention is
called to conditions in the Jail, and
suggestions, made for Improvements,
which include the repairing of a win
dow IL q jail delivery Is to be pre-
vented.
The report Of the grand jury on the
county farm and the jail is as follows:
The grand jury, having made its
accustomed visit to the county home,
reports an existing hazard in the plan
of lighting the barns and sheds, and
fears an extensive conflagration is in
evitable II such method is continued,
and recommends the immediate in
stallation of electricity. i. being readily
apparent that the dynamo and engine
in use at its electric plant is entirely
adequate to handle the additional serv-
ice without occasioning additional ex-
pense except for wiring.
The cement floors in the cid build
ing should have quick consideration
also.
In the county Jail the painting Of
all walls and woodwork is imperative
in the upkeep Of the building. The
closet and bath room floors want at.
tention and repair. and the window in
the second story must be made safe if
a Jail delivery is not desirable"
