A SHAMEFUL FIGHT

THE miserable squabble in the Senate
! which resulted in a split, with
eight Democrats and the 1t. Governor
forming one part, and nine Republicans
with Senator Walker the other, reflects
small credit upon all concerned-least of
all upon the Democratic minority that
plainly has tried, under the leadership
of Senator Gormely, to steal the organi-
cation of the Senate.
On the one hand it was clearly unlaw-
full for temporary president Walker tC
set up rump Senate with himself as
presiding officer, for that is ex-oficiC
the function of the 1t Governor.
On the other haud, it was as clearly
improper for the Democrats and the
1t Governor to proceed to the trans
action of business before the new
members had been sworn in.
Both sides have done illegal ant
foolish acts, and violated the rights o
each other. Many of the proceeding
were farcial, and caculated to bring tn
Legislature into contempt in the eye
of the people, as, for example, wher
two presiding officers were seated sid
by side on the presidents platform eac
trying to execute his Office, and tw
rival clerks racing to see who could frs
finish the roll call
Finally, when one considers the motiv
that prompts all these disgracefl
wrangles, the shame Of it is mao
greater. For the sake of the hal
dozen petty officers whose tenure is bl
so days, these members, elected by IL
people to perform important legislati'
duties, spend days in unseemly quarrel
For a little party patronage. are wiIlir

AN APPONTIYE OFFICE

There is serious suggestion in the
well-deserved praise and apprecia-
tion which Chancellor Curtis public
ly bestowed upon Joseph C. Jolls,
upon the latter's retirement from
the important Office of the Orphans
Court and register in Chancery,
this week, after twelve years of
faithful and efficient service. The
office is elective, and as the Repub-
lican party failed to Eenominate Mr..
Jolls, he was compelled to retire,
Notwithstanding his value as a pub
lie official.
'There are some offices in State
and local government, which, by
reason of the character and impor-
tance of their duties should as far
as possible be kept in experienced
and capable hands, This. however
cannot be assured under the uncer-
tain system of limited terms and
popular elections The Office from
which Mr.. Jolls was compelled to
retire is one of them. This position
should be appointive, by the Chan
cellor, the incumbent to be contin-
ued so long as he renders faithful
and efficient service. Mr.. Jolls' sue
cessor may prove highly efficient,
or he may not. In the latter event
public interests would suffer to the
end of his term. A change should
be inaugurated in respect of this
and some other offices. "-Egery
Eventng.
The above editorial comment by
Every Evening calls attention to a
matter that is deserving of the serious
consideration of our Legislators. The
offices of Pro'thonotary, Clerk of the
Orphans Court and Register in Chan
cery require the services of men who
are not only competent Clerks, but of
those who are especially adapted to
the peculiar duties of handling the
Courts Business. 1t is a trite saying
that Poets are born, not made. In q
large way, the same can be said of 8
Clerk of The Court. Their duties are
such that man with a natural legal
mind and with years of training can be
of invaluable service to the Court arc
the public.
But there is another and broader
reason why these officers should be ap.
pointed by the Courts, rather thar
elected by the people. 1t is the peo
ple's business that these officers per
form, and it is to the best interest o.
the people that their business be no
only properly, but promptly transacted
No one is more interested in a proper
and prompt transaction of the Court
business than the Judges of the Court
And they should be able to insist oil
such service. Under present condi
tiOns, the control of the Judges owe
the men who have to make up and keel
the records of their Courts is so sligh
as to be negligible. When Clerk VIII
under present conditions, must be
politician, finds that the desires of hi
organization runs counter to the re
quirements of the Court. it is onl
human nature that the public duties ar
sacrificed to private and political cor
siderations.

DISPOSAL OF GARBAGE.

Process Of Rendering Is the Most Eco
nomical of Various Methods.
With the exception Of sewage, gar
bage is the greatest class of waste
materials whose disposal presents q
serious municipal problem. Garbage
is unlike sewage in this respect-that
it's value has been recognized from the
beginning, and various methods of dis
posal have been devised with a view
to the recovery of it's useful constitu-
ents. initiating against this, on the
other. hand, has been the desire to get
rid Of it with as little manipulation as
possible, because Of the Objectionable
character which it usually bears and
the readiness with which it becomes a
nuisance.
The methods of disposing Of garbage
in use in the cities of the United States
are feeding to swine, dumping or bury
ing in clay pits, gullies, swampy areas
and vacant lands, dumping at sea, in

the goddess Of Love and Beauty. The
orange blossom design needs no ex-
plantations of its symbolism.
Has Copper Ring.
The well advertised young heiress,
Eugenia Kelley, when she became the
second bride of Al Davis the other
day, unwittingly became also the ar
bitter of the latest fashion in wedding
rings. When the bridegroom forgot
such a mere detail, she was married
with quaint copper ring of her late
fathers.
Ringing the changes on the we'd
ding ring is almost bound to cause a
bargain rush on the divorce court.
All of the brides of yesteryear will be
SO anxious to change ''little-old-last-
years. wedding for one of the lovely
new ones. " sa- ~. II
Another dire possibility is that the
ringing Of bridal bells may be hushed
throughout the land if the BRIDE
grooms go on strike and refuse to
accede to the ringing of the bridal
bells in the new, elaborate manner
in which they wish to be accustomed.

MODGktN ELANI FUN RENDERING dAhBA6E
GENERATING and rendering. The most
important from the standpoint Of SAM
tation are incinerating and rendering.
A number Of the larger cities Of the
United States have installed incinera-
tors for the combustion Of ashes, rub
bish and garbage together. Their op-
Grafton is attended with success, from
the sanitary point of view, and they
offer simple solution Of the problem
Of disposal. Where this method is
used single collection is made, which
simplifies that operation also. The
economy of the method is open to Sc
rious question.
The rendering of garbage for the
preparation Of grease and fertilizer
consists essentially in cooking in
steam, pressing to remove water and
grease, drying, extracting-washing
with gasoline-to recover the remain
ing grease, and grinding. Rendering
is conducted in apparatus Of various
designs and is varied to conform to
the ideas Of the operators. The process
of rendering is at present regarded as
the most economical, although there
are various other processes in vogue.
