The salary nf the steward is fixed
at MT more than $3.50 per month
and that of the cook at not more
than SIS per month. In case Of
an epidemic, or when it may be-
come necessary in the judgment of
the commissioners, the steward
may appoirt one or more
assistants at salary not to exceed
500 per month.
The steward is required to
furnish an estimate semi-annually,
March fir.t and September first of
each year. of all stores. supplies and
fuel required for the use of the
hospital fo the next six months.
The estimate to state the kind,
quality and amount of such stores,
supplies and fuel, and file the
same in the clerks office for the
pu bile inspection: provided that in
the matter of drugs and medicines
the board may order the same pur-
chased as required.
The sheriff is also required to
furnish semi-annually, on March

Attorney General Makes Suggestion

That the work Of drafting all bills
for submission to the Legislature be
put into the hands Of bureau created
for the purpose, is the recommends
ton made by Attorney General w. v.
Tanner, in his biennial report to the
legislature and Governor Hay. The
idea Of the attorney general is that
such a bureau should be created to
inform the legislature of the effect OF
the laws as they propose, and to bring
to light discrepancies in existing laws.
He says that at the present time there
are no less than eight different laws
governing drainage and diking dis
tricts and as a result it is almost impos-
sible to tell what the law is.

Auditor Saws State Can Save $4,000

State Auditor Claussen, in his oien-
NAL report to Governor M. Z. hay
makes a number Of important recon-
mendations for the conduct OF the
states affairs. He recommends that
the reports Of all the state departments
he referred to one board for examina-
t;on and declares that at least szo'-
600 could be saved to the state. he
suggests that a state law be passed re-
curing the payment OF all hnes ioi
violation Of state laws into the general
fund Of the state. He says that APP
nropriations for criminal costs have
been insufficient, and suggests tna'
the Legislature pass bill to meet the
emergency. Among other things the
auditor congratulates the state upon
is fine financial condition and points
on, how the state general fund IS no"
clear Of indebtedness.

Rules FOR fire Prevention

There can be no doubt that in any
community a systematic educational
campaign, supplemented by intelligent
laws properly enforced, viii result in a
marked reduction in fire losses, both
in property and life. To cite few
instances:
II city councils and town boards
will pass ordinances to provide for a
building and chimney inspector, give
him the authority to enter and inspect
all buildings and chimneys, and then
see to it that he does his duty.
II they will prohibit the burning of
trash. paper and other combustible
material upon the streets and alleys
and in the congested parts Of town,
except where the contents cannot be
blown around and ignite property;
If they will provide that all stoves
shall have metal or asbestos protec-
ton placed under them;
If they will prohibit stovepipes
through the roofs and sides Of build
ings and compel the use of substantial
brick chimneys;
If they will provide that all ashes
shall be deposited in a closed metal
receptacle and carted away where they
can be emptied out and not endanger
property;
II they will compel dealers in gaso-
line to store it in steel tanks under
ground and handle it in safe manner;
If they will prohibit the washing and
cleaning of clothing in gasoline in the
congested parts of town;
If they will compel all buildings in
a dilapidated and dangerous condition
to be either repaired or removed;
If they viii provide their fire COM
panies with adequate fire apparatus
which will enable them to extinguish
fires in their incipiency-
Then the losses by fire will be great
ly reduced.

The Way tennessee Sees 1t

Those who fondly imagine that the
Progressive Party was like first class
ticket on limited passenger train,
good for this day and trip only, and
that it would pass away, reckoned with
out their host. The Progressive Party
has come to stay, and whethtr Roose-
welt is spared to it or not it will con-
tinue to be agreat factor in the life OF
the Nation. The leaders have already
perfected an organization, with view
to perpetuating and advancing its prin-
ciples. This, no doubt, will assist, but
it is not necessary because the organi-
zation having positive potentialities and
constructive craftsmanship, and not
mere negation, is bound to live and
continue. After life Of but three
short months the party succeeded in
defeating the well-entrenched, suppos-
eddy all powerful and arrogant Republi-
can Party, and forging its way to
second place. The returns are not all
completed. but enough is kown to show
that Roosevelt received 3,523,354
votes, while Taft received 2,834,015
votes, making a total Of 6,357,36o.
The successful candidate. Governor
Wilson, received 4,4oO.sSs votes, and
while he was elected, he was a minori-
ty candidate by 1,o56,784 votes.
Governor Wilson defeated Colonel
Roosevelt in thirty-one States only, by
877,231 votes. In these States he
had ,566,s70 votes in excess Of Mr..
Taft. while Roosevelt received $50, 339
more than did the President. OF
course, Governor Wilson carried the
solid South" where we have no polit-
ical freedom and no choice, but where
we must, or think we must, vote the
Democratic ticket. In these States
Governor Wilson received $4,000 few
er ballots than were cast for Bryan four
years ago, while Roosevelt, who had to
fight the Taft machine and all its Office
holding and Office expecting forces, re-
ceived almost as many votes as did the
President-to be accurate SOS, 1928,
against the Presidents 600,823.
With such showing, after a cam
paign Of only three months, it were
folly to assume that the Progressive
Party will go out OF business until its
labors are completed. OF course, the
teaching and preaching OF the party
was not confined to the three months
OF the campaign. The same truths
were apprehended and the same prin-
ciples believed in for many years. And
they were merely gathered togetheI
and given concrete form and force by
the political contest just ended.

{ PUZZLES JUDGE
Effect Of Searchights on
Broadway Heard IN New
York Court.
"REFORM THE STYLES"
Go to Board Of Health" Magistrate,
in Refusing to Act Tells
Policeman.

New York, Aug A-For using powerful
automobile searchlights which shoot light
through the skirts Of women passing his
store on Broadway at night, John Carey.
a merchant, living at 1oi West 10th
Street, was taken to the Yorkville Court
today charged with causing crowd to
gather in the street
In the entrance of Carey's store on
Broadway. near Thirty-eighth Street. are
arranged four large acetylene lamps. For
the past four nights these have been
operated. shooting powerful streams Of
light across the sidewalk. The light acts
as an x-ray on the skirts OF passing
women who are dressed according to the
fashion Of the day.
Every night a large crowd Of men has
collected at advantageous points on the
opposite side Of the street The police
have had great difficulty In dispensing
the bystanders.
Acted Like X-Rays.
The show was started Saturday even
ing. Monday evening q policeman en-
tered Carey's store and said the lights
must be extinguished- They're acting
like X-rays on these transparent skirts.
and I cannot keep the crowd away.
They're causing an awful condition" he
said
Can't help It." replied Carey. Those
lamps are for sale. They are within the
building line and I will not discontinue
their use. Why don't you move the crowd
and not ask me to shut on displaying
part of my stock?'
Never could bulge that mob" said
the policeman. Come on. now. and cut
out the lights. Look out there and see
what that light is doing to those gowns"
Are you blaming me because Of the
styles, because women 60 around partly
clad?" asked Carey. go change the
styles
The policeman went away and the
lights continued to glare and the crowd
to stare. When the throng was shooed
i of the walk the street was filled and
| automobiles and surface cars were held
up. When the onlookers were driven to
the walk again trafic there was blocked.
About 10 o'clock the 'despairing police

The lights glared again Monday night
and last night, and Carey was told by
policemen that he would be summoned

GO ahead" said Carey.
So that is why Carey was in Yorkvtlle
Police Court today on a summons issued
at the instance of a policeman.
Magistrate Breen listened as the police
man went on with his complaint. He
laughed when Carey interrupted to say
that the skirts. not the lights, need re-
forming.
Are the lamps within the building
line?" the court asked. He vas Informed
