Now all fairness to Mr.. Mathews
would demand that the amounts above

under former administrations, and
that results are being obtained in so
pronounced manner that the Office
has ceased to be the object of ridicue-
it was two and three years ago.
The writer has absolutely no per
sonal interest in this matter. other
than an honest endeayor to secure
square deal for an efficient officer
There are three persons in Aber-
deem who persistently seek to CASE
odium on the present sheriff. and who
are endeavoring to make political
capital out of the fact that it cost
more to run the sheriff's Office in 1913
than it did in 1912. II may be added,
that the three are chronic office
holders, and that their aspersions are
on a line of motto text" which
would dstort the scriptures to their
purpose. Thus far they have neg
lected to make public a comparison
of results obtained by the sheriff Of
1918 and the sheriff of 1912. They
have failed to state the fact that in
1912 the game fund was drawn OLE
largely to run the sheriff's Office, anG
the game warden was used as a de-
putty sheriff, and the amount of money
thus used has not been added to the:
While this money was meant to pro
tect game still no one will greatly OBJ
ject to it's having been diverted into
the channels of the sheriff's Office:
however, it should be added to Mr.
Payettes expenses.
The writer's interest in the above
matters was aroused some weeks ago
when an aspirant for the Office now
held by Mr.. Mathews stated that his
friends from Oakville to Moclips were
urging him to run for sheriff. This
raised the question, what is the mat.
ter with the sheriff we have got?
and investigation has satisfied the
writer at least that the sheriff WIG
have got is all right and deserves
reelection.

The Commission Plan

Attorney Dan Pearsall, who is on
his way east, sent the Herald copy
of the ST. Paul Pioneer-Press, with
the following editorial marked, which
he thought would be of interest to
the Aberdeen readers of the Her
aid:
-Four years ago, with population
OF about $4,000, Topeka, Kan, went

to bring about the change and among
the most strenuous of the opposition
was the Topeka Commercial club.
Four years have rolled by. The new
form of administration has been
tried out thoroughly and now tho
Commercial club, once it's relentless
enemy, has become the ardent cham
pion of the new order of things. In
a document signed by every officer
Of the mercantile organization the
club says:

While taxes have not been materially
reduced in this city, yet the people
are getting more for the money eX-

rection for better municipal govern

Here is something for St. Paul
people to ponder. Topeka empha-
sizes two things it gets under the
new form-efficiency and results for
the money the people pay in taxes.
Doubtless. too, Topeka was fortunate
in the men it chose to administer
the new government. That is what
st Paul must succeed in doing. We
have a good form of charter, but ev-
erything depends upon the men we
will elect in May.

Editor Herald:
II is a regrettable and unfortunate
fact that efficiency does not protec'
a man from mean dispersion and ciah
destire attack He who does MS
I wh0e duty impartially is not immune
from the calumny of those who 1al
where he succeeds. The writer has
in mind the attacks which at presen'
are being made in certain quarters
on Sheriff Mathews. whose Office
seems 10 be the center of attraction
for aspiring politicians, now that the
! Tornow situation has been cleared
up. The odium so persistently cast
upon Mr. Mathews caused the writer
to make a careful investigation and
comparison of the conditions and ex'
penses of his Office as they exist I'M
der his regime and as they were un-
der his predecessor.
Rumor has it that Sheriff Mathews
has nine deputies at work. The fact
of the matter is the Auditors books
show that there are only three de
puties, and that these men have hand
led the routine work of the office
since Mathews became sheriff.
1t is true that the Auditors report
for the year 1913 shows that the sher-
ifs office cost the county between
$11,O and $4,000 and that the re-
port for the proceeding year shows
the same Office cost the county be-
tween $4,000 and $11 900; but. before
accepting this as it stands, one should
go into the details and consider re-
suits.
Under Sheriff Mathews it cost Che
halls County $4,000 TO capture Tor
now. No one will ever know what il
cost Payette to attempt this task; but
one thing is certain, Payette was as
far from the goal after IS months
endeavor as he was at the start.
The delinquent taxes collected for
the year 1912 amounted to about
$1,000, while in 1913 the collection
amounted to over $4,000. About $500.
more was collected in fees in 1913
than were collected in 1912

to keep supervision over the dry
area.
In 1913 the county commissioners

How Wilson impresses People

There is one thing which the bust
ness interests of this country should
not fail to understand. Woodrow
Wilson is doing more to put the polit-
ical yawper out of business than all
the efforts that have been made by
all the business interests combined.
It is not a question of whether we
like him, or of whether we agree
with him. In quiet and forceful
way he is accomplishing the things
that must be done, if the demagogue
is to find his occupation gone. a
man who can link Bob La Toilette
and Uncle Joe Cannon in a duet of
denunciation is certainly accomplish
ing something. 1t can safely be said
that any man who can unite those
two opposite forces Of American pol
itics is steering somewhere. What
ever may be our views upon the tar
iff, it is undeniable that it has been
revised, revised as the people de-

Whether we were for or against the
currency bill, the fact is that it is now
the law of the land, and the banks
are still charging the same old in

there had not yet been single cor.
porate suicide as a result of that leg

however, is that with the trust legis-

howl from business about the thous.

great speech thrilled the nation
and how it must inevitably arouse
public sentiment against the presi-
dent.
Mr.. Clark. who has never fully re-
covered from the disappointment of
his defeat for the nomination by the
Baltimore convention. and the stand
pat Republicans have been looking
eagerly to him to lead a revolt against
the president and cause a break in
the solidarity of the Democratic par
ty. Mr.. Clarks declaration that he
is not a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for president in 1916 will
be disappointing to the Republicans,
but they are willing to pat him on
the back and laud him as great
statesman and leader if he will only
continue to oppose the president and
his policies.-Tacoma Tribune.

Mr.. Clark and the President.

1t is to be regretted that Speaker
Champ Clark could not express his
opposition to the canal tolls repeal
bill in more temperate spirit. He
has always been so uncompromising
in his support of Democratic policies
that it is little surprising at this
an independent.
1t must be admitted that the ques-
ton of repeal is debatable one AMI
that men may differ about it in good
faith and in perfect honesty; and the
mere fact that Speaker Clark does
not agree with the president on this
subject does not justify Representa-
tive Henry in charging him with be-
ing Influenced by special interests
and the shipping monopoly" Nor is
any Democrat open to criticism who
objects to what he considers too
short a time for debate. But the bit
terness Of Speaker Clark's tone seems
to indicate that he is considering the
whole proposition from a personal
rather than a patriotic standpoint,
and that he is swayed by poliAcal
grievances rather than by the me-
its of tho question.
One of the surprises awaiting MI
Clark. however. will be the food Of
highly complimentary Endorsements
he will receive from the st9ndpat
press which has always heretofore
made him a target for abuse. The

entered suit against the Bellinghanl

by it's predecessor, the B. B. & b

THE case was argued by Assistant
General Counsel Corts for the Chi

Lee, formerly chairman of the pub

than another similar concern, even
though the rates may have been the

one referred to in this case. Conse-
quently the contracts could be made

Since the passage of the public
service act, the railroads cannot en-
ter into contracts of this nature and
all shippers must pay the published
tariff rates. Contracts entered into
