MEXICAN RULERS.

More or less speculation has been

Mexico needs Il Diaz. but the D.az OF

A LIGHT SOCIALIST VOTE.

a noteworthy feature OF the cleo
ton Thursday was the heavy falling
Off in tho Socialist vote. The Social.
list candidate for Mayor received only
Bus votes. while other candidates re
ceived votes ranging from 500 To $50
This is about onc-third OF the vote
polled by Socialists two years ago.
and very much smaller vote than has
been poiled In number OF previous
elections. The heavy falling of or
tho Socialist vote and the complete
disappearance Of the Progressive vote
is an evidence. in fact. that tho two
great parties in Wheeling satisfy all
the needs OF tho very large majority
OF the voters. From time TO time
voters become dissatisfied with the
organizations with which they have
previously acted and taken up tenn
Rorarily some new movement: but as
soon "a the conditions which created
dissatisfaction are eliminated. they
return again TO the two distinct and
well organized parties.
There has been no city election in
Wheeling for number ~ years in
which lines we're drawn So sharply
between tho recognized Democrat
and recognized Republican. and the
result OF the election. fought ont as
it was. clearly. honestly and fairly.
is such that Il can DO accepted by all
the voters in Wheeling with reason

satisfaction. 4 good clean. honest
city administration has been assured.
capable officials have been elected.
and the citizens OF Wheeling will be

Cole has proven himself veritable

nary Windmill He makes some
/ charges against the Board of Health
which | think only have their exist

found out that the water supply was
polluted. Before | do this. let me say
that | do not pretend to be bacteriol-

water and the city water examined
regularly, that on or about the
fifteenth of September or just about
the time school opened, Doctor Mitch
ell in examining the city water, found
for the first time that it was polluted.
Now. Doctor Mitchell wanted to be
sure that he was right because it
pointed to very dangerous condi
ton, because these germs could only
come from the bowels of man or some
other animal. They realized one of
two things, either the water was be-
ing polluted out at the plant or, what
was more dangerous, sewer some
where in the network of our water sys

takes time to make these investigat-
ions, if you want to be sure. Doc
tor Dolly and Doctor Mitchell visited
the water plant and the condition they
found there would easily explain the
presence of these germs. They re-
turned and spoke to DR.. W. G. Brown

GOOD-BY, MIR. GROUCHO.

The crouch. the knocker and the
back-biter have always been on the
blacklist of men who do things. They
have been avoided whenever possible.
This blacklist, a mental blacklist.
has usually been personal affair. No
concerted movement has ever been
made.
--Hur at last the crouch has been Off
cially recognized by law. The e;ciency
system recently adopted by the civil
service commission of fOhioincludes de-
merits for those employees of the state
who exhibit bad demeanor. The man
who knockes, the man who is tardy. the
man who is grOuchy, the man who does
his work too slowly or too poorly. will
be given demerits by the commission.
Hurrah for Ohio We have wanted
to see someone get the crouch in the
neck. Well surely miss him when he
is gOne-because things will move so
much more smoothly. Good-by, Mr..
GrOuchO

TEACHERS TRAINING COURSES.

Seventy-three public high schools
and three private schools have been
designated by State Superintendent
of Schools Evans as teachers training
schools. That is, these schools are
aided by the state to give courses for
those who expect TO become teachers.
Columbia High School is one of
those designated. The teachers course
is now only becoming perfected. but
il is proving successful according to
the authorities. And to show that it
is appreciated, there are eighteen en-
rolled in the course this year. This
is the second largest enrolment in
the course in any one city in Mis-
souri,
