After the Jews Once More.

To what extent anti-Jewish sentiment may go
is shown by the Ritual Murder Case" now being
tried at Kiev, Russia.
Two years ago the body of murdered child
was found in a cave by the police Evidences

trayal but the crime was seized upon by Russian
bureaucrats as one more opportunity to fan the
hatred for Jews which now consumes the Rus
sian peasants. BY some hook or crook the crime
was fastened on Jew, Mendel Beliefs by name
who accused of having been the agent of
certain Jewish rabbis who desired the boys
blood to use in ritual ceremonies.
A more absurd charge could not have been
framed but officials have secured jury COM
posed of anti-Semites lusting for the life of the
unfortunate man. Russian newspapers have
persistently lied about the case and done all in
their power to increase hatred Of the Jews among

Jewish massacre which will Guido ar, on record
The Russian peasant is almost outdone in ig-

The Recordless Record.

Slovenliness in keeping records is usually the
very tap root of incompetency in city admins
tration, and yet, in the very nature of the case,
is deficiency seldom brought to the public's at
tention. Those who have been endeavoring to
learn something of the achievements and meth
DDS of the past administration here have found
deplorable state of affairs SO far as records are
concerned
In the street department, to give but
ample, almost no records to be found except
in the engineers office. The street commissioner
keeps his on little memorandum book or two
which one can lay on the palm of his hand. He
has no way of telling where his men are, what
they are doing, what each man has done during
the day, what his department has done as
whole, or what it is costing the city per unit
Speaking of city management, Frederick A.
Cleveland the nations chief authority on city
accounting, says in regard to records: "a prop
erly conceived and well-designed system of re-
ports is of the principal factors in effective
organization and successful management"
A thorough system of records is the only pos
sible basis of accurate information which a
mayor council formulate plans for future
activities.
Accurate records will stop up many leaks
through which taxpayers hard earned cash
manner painstakngly cannot possibly realize
how many dollars have been lost through lack
of proper accounting methods.
Time is saved when full records are used. An
official has always at command a complete set
of facts to guide in his activities He does not
need to search high and low for data which an
adequate system places at his immediate dis
posal
If each official is compelled to keep an accur-
ate daily record of expenditures and work done
he will be more careful in spending and more
conscientious in working. 1t will serve to make
him feel his responsibility and it will remove
from his superiors shoulders the burden of con-
slant personal oversight.
Accurate and thorough records avoid "red
tape" When there are no records at hand by
which responsibility for some costly error can
be fixed on the guilty man each official will pass
it up to the next. This passing questions on
from official to official is the very essence of
red tape" and is entirely done away with when
records used.
Nothing has been more characteristic of DR.. !
Zimmerman than his old fashioned, country
store methods of taking care of the city affairs.
He never does the same thing twice in the same
way he skips about like cricket and is first on
one side and then on another when important .
questions ur. and he has permitted his ad-
to carry on it's work with surpris-
ing lack of bookkeeping.
1t was this lack of records on the city's part
which made it impossible for Zmmerman's
friends to reply to the specific and we'll grounded
criticisms which have been made by Alfred
Bavis and others.

HEWITT READY
TO FIGHT HARD
WANTS THE DEPOT AND IS CO.
ING TO HAVE 1T OR KNOW THE
REASON WHY.

The people of Hewitt are prepared
for war with the railroad company
over the location of the depot. The
company say they will locate the de-
pot on their new townsite about one
mile west of Hewitt and have let a
contract to local parties for the cree
ton of the same, while the people OF
Hewitt say they are going to have a
depot built on the present townsite
and have accumulated data and en-
gagged Judge ]. NJ. Dickerson as their
attorney,
The people came to President Ha-
mon with an offer of $4,000 anl 200
lots if the company would not con
slider the new townsite, but this was
refused by the railroad company and
now the people of Hewitt are going to
resort to other means to secure the
necessary convenience to the old
town.
At a big mass meeting last We'd
nesday, night it was decided to en-
ploy Judge Dickerson and he has
agreed to take the case on a contln-
gent fee of $1,O0C, if the citizens win
their point, he gets the money, 9th
erwise they will not be out anything.
A committee of seven was appointed
to cooperate with Judge Dickerson
to procure the necessary sinews Of
war. The corporation commission has
already communicated with the peo-
pie of Hewitt, and has promised to
make a thorough investigation of the
matter "You can bet all you desire !
that the people Of Hewitt are going |
to give the railroad company a scrap |
over this proposition" said a promi-
nent citizen of Hewitt this morning, |
"and one thing is certain we are
going to win, or the case WIFI go 20
the highest court in the land. We have
asked for nothing bet what we be-
Iieve to be right in this matter and
have offered to pay for everything
We have asked for and now we are
going to get it if we have to scraD

PARCEL POST HITS EXPRESS.
innovation Costs Wells Fargo 80 Per
Cent Revenue, Official Asserts.

San Francisco. Sept 21.-Testify-
/ ing before the state railroad COM
mission, which continued today it's
inquiry into the relations between
the Southern Pacific railroad and the
Wells Fargo Express Company, Vice
President and General Manager Chris
tiansen of the latter declared that
parcel post competition had caused
the company to lose 31.7 per cent Of
small packages since the first of the
year, when the government service
was established. In the same period,
he said the company's revenue had
been reduced 33 per cent, and this
percentage, he affirmed, held good
for all other express companies.
I'VE are confronted he asserted,
with the proposition Of increased
expenses, decreased business and de-
creased revenues. The competition
demands increased service and while
we have increased the service, cur
rent profits have shrunk since as
far back as 1910"
Attorney c. w. Durbrow of the
Southern Pacific gave the commits
sion today the story of the corpo-
rate relationship between the rail-
road and the express company.

Washington, May 22.-Speculation3 as to the object of Vice President Marshall's visit to the conference of the majority members of the Senate Finance Committee toGay centered on the possibility of a direct protest from President Wilson on the amendment that Senator Simmons, chairman of the committee yesterday intimated that not a schedule of the Undor- wood bill would be reported to the senate as originally passed by the house.
 Such a wholesale revision of the various schedules of the tariff meas ure would mean that the Underwood bill would be referred to conference where 1t might remain for weeks, the subject of unavailing disaster.
 The meeting of the Finance Con- mittee today was obstensbly to dis cuss the proposed question to be sub- mited to manufacturers and business men throughout the country as to their views of the bill.
 Meetings of the various sub-commit- tees of the Senate Finance Committee were held this afternoon, large num- bers of representatives of business interests effected by the bill appearing to get their testimony on record be- fore the hearings are determined on Tuesday. Every effort was made by the chairman of the subcommittee to hurry matters along and it was pre- dicted that the mass of testimony sui flcient for complete consideration of
