A COMMUNICATION
Editor Independents:

Editor independents:
during the campaign of 1912, charg-
es were made that the recorders of.
flee of this county was extravagantly
conducted and that less business was
being done by Mr.. Greathouse with
two deputies than was done by his
predecessor, Mr.. Grover with one dep
uty. These charges were then said
to be the work OF political and per-
sonal enemies of Mr.. Greathouse and
were given no consideration by the
voters and Mr.. Greathouse was re.
elected.
But the charges were true as an en-
animation of the county ~treasurer's
books conClusively shows. During the
years 1907 and 1908, Mr.. Grover
turned into the county treasurer SILL
9O1.23 for fees collected. During those
years he had but one deputy at 500
4 month. The salary of himself and
deputy during those two years mount
ed TO SG,29S.34, leaving a balance OF
S5,6O2.91 owe and above the salary
of himself and deputy.
Now, let Us see what the county
tr%easurer's books show for the years
1913 and 1914, with two deputies in
the recorders office. II will not be
disputed by anyone hat the recorder
and two deputies should do more work
and earn more money for the county
than Mr.. Grover and Harry Bruce did
during the years 1907 and 1908. But
the story told by the record shows an
entirely different state of affairs. The
treasurer's books show that during
1913 and 1914, Mr.. Greathouse paid
into the county treasury the sum of
$7,451.04 for fees collected. an amount
inss by $i.i50.21 than Mr.. Grover paid
TO the county in 1907 and 1908.
During 1913 and 1914, the county
paid Mr.. Greathouse and his deputies
$500, and they earned S7,451.O4 or
$~1,34S.96 less than their salaries
whereas Mr.. Grover and his deputy
earned IS, 6O2.91 more than the com
bined salaries of himself and deputy.
These figures should be studied by
the taxpayers of the county. If the
amount OF fees collected by the county
recorder is a correct index of the
amount oil business done, and we be.
lieve it is. there was much less work
done by the recorder and two depu,
ties in 1913 and 1914 than was done
by the recorder and one deputy i'll 1907
and 1908. In other words, the tax,
payers are paying more for conduct,
ing this Office than they should.
The attention of the county com,
missioncrs and members of the legis
lature is called to this condition Of af
fairs. If the commiss ioncrs have the
power they should at once stop this
leak in the county treasury. If il
needs legislation to stop the leak, ther
our Legislators should get busy and
WELD the axe.
Yours truly,
w. w. BOOHER.

OHIO RIVER FLOOD
IS CAUSING ALARM
MUCH OF CINCINNATI Is UNDER
WATER AND RISE IS CON-
TINUING VERY SLOWLY.

Cincinnati, O.. Feb 6.-The Ohio
river reached 54.5 feet here this morn
ing, 5.4 feet above flood stage, and
continued to rise at the rate of two
tenths of foot an hour. The greater
part of the ground in the river section
Of the city is under water, although
little actual suffering has taken place.
This was made possible by the ample
notice that was given to all those in
the flooded district.
The river registered SAT- feet at
o'clock and an announcement was is
sued shortly thereafter by the CENTRAL
Union depot officials that the station
would be vacated early in the after
noon. All of the railroads have made
preparations to move to other stations
on higher ground not far from the Gen.
trail Union station.
Government Weather Forecaster
Devereaux stated that the river would
reach a maximum here of Sc feet some
time Sunday morning and begin to fall
on Monday. The announcement said
that the crest of the food had been
reached at Portsmouth, o., at 55.5 feet
and was falling at all points above
Portsmouth.

QUESTION FOR DIPLOMATS.

A ticklish situation cOnfrOnts the
United States government as result
of the attempted destruction of a
bridge between Canada and this coun-
try by a man claiming to be an officer
in the German army. The man Is un-
der arrest on the American side Of the
international line and the Canadians
are seeking to get him. Now If the
offense is civil one, then the offender
must be turned over to the Canadians
for punishment. But the man claims
that he is a German soldier and that
his act was an act of war and If such
is the case, then this country must
intern the soldier and keep him until
the end Of the war when he is en-
titled to his liberty. 1t is now up to
this country to decide whether blow
ing up the bridge was an act of war or
e. civil crime

JUST W!RE-pUlllNG,

It Is scarcely to be wondered at ii
the citizens Of the state of Illinois are
thoroughly disguised with their state
legislature. For five weeks Of almost
continuous session during which time
the members have been drawing their
pay regularly, not lick of state bust
ness has been transacted and not a
man of those who make up the legis-
lature can be said to have earned MS
salt. Because OF difference over
the liquor question in which each side
absolutely refuses to cooperate with
the other except on it's own terms, the
very first business of the session
organization of the house-has not
been accomplished.
If the fight were directly upon the
liquor question, then there could be
little criticism of the men who are
holding out, for they would be deserv.
ing of praise rather than censure for
sticking to their principles and to the
dictates of their consciences If 1t
were their consciences that were guild
ing them. But the liquor question is
not up for decision: it is simply a
question of whether to select as
speaker a man with sympathy toward
the wet" or the dry" side.
The deadlock in the Illinois legisla-
ture is born of the brand of politics
that is making the ordinary honest
voter disguised with politics in gen.
eral and not sure whether there Is any
thing but graft and wire pulling In
the business Of governing.

Gus, therefore, that In the interest of
representative government, which in
wolves the passing of legislation con-
sonant with the belief and will of the
majority Of citizens. the republican
and progressive parties must come to-
gether.
Edward Randolph Wood of this city.
has rendered distinct service in
bringing the subject to the members
of the national republican convention
of 1912 Their responses indicate a
deepening conviction that the differ.
ences which brought about the repub-
lican defeat should be minimized, and
that basis of agreement can be
found upon which the liberal and con-
sentative elements Of the party may
stand. This Is by no means impos-
sible.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 6.-Adminis
tration officials and the diplomatic rep
resentatives of foreign governments
here were keenIy watching for develop
ments today in the acute situation at
Mexico City, where many members OF
the diplomatic corps threaten to quit
because of serious friction with the
Carranza government.
The ACCESSIBILITY of united action for
the withdrawal of all foreign legations
in the Mexican capital because of the
difficulty of code communication and
the alleged slight respect shown them
by the Carranza authorities already
has been suggested to their home gov.
ernments by diplomats of some leading
European nations.
This would leave the interests OF
foreign countries In Mexico In charge
of consular officers, thereby virtually
severing diplomatic relations with the
southern republic. A critical feature
of the situation Is the threatened de-
portation Of the Spanish minister for
afrording asylum to Angel De Case
confidential agent of the Spanish gov.
eminent, accused of completely in the
Villa movement.
Carranza officials at Aqua Prieta an
nounced today that sentences of death
for having aided Maytorena in various
ways. had been passed on four Ameri
cans. AS they are in territory con
trolled by Maytorena, e of the men

BAND OF THIEVES
DEALS IN AUTOS
CHICAGO POLICE THINK THEY
HAVE CAPTURED LEADER OF
CAR STEALERS.

Chicago, Feb. 6.--With the arrest
here today of John Blodgett, alleged
head of an organized band of automo-
bile thieves, the police believe they
have uncovered the system under
which thousands of cars are stolen an
nually in, cities throughout the coun-
try and sold to unsuspecting buyers.
A code book, which has come into
the possession of the police, la said to
show that automobile stealing Is car
ried on by an organized band of thieves
who have representatives, and even
sales rooms, in many large cities in
the country.
The band, according to the police,
maintained its main office In Chicago.
Code signs We're used for the various
makes and designs of the cars. cities
affording the best markets for certain
makes. and other details. The code
book the police said, contained COM
prehensive list of second hand dealers
in other cities, and directions as to
the methods of altering the cars so
they may not be recognized by the
owners.

REUNITED REPuRLIcANIsM.

One Of the unfortunate features OF
our form of government is that the
will of majority Of the people may
be frustrated. In 1912 there were
2,45O,504 more votes against Woodrow
Wilson than for him. The democratic
vote was 6,293,019. The republican,
progressive, socialist and prohibition
combined total was 8,743,523. Suppos-
ing the vote is analysed from the stand
point of an important policy Of govern
ment. Mr.. Wilson stood for low
tariff, and both Mr.. Taft and Colonel
Roosevelt stood for a high tariff. The
combined republican and progressive
vote was 7,6O4,469, which means that
1,311,44 more votes were cast for a
high tariff than for low tariff. Yet
congress Immediately revised the
tariff downward.
A powerful third party does not
make for truly representative govern.
ment. Although Taft and Roosevelt
together polled 1,311,444 more votes
than Wilson they could count only
ninety-six votes in the electoral col
lexs against Wilson's 435. 1t is obvi-
