Gossip Ofthe POlitica

until il has become a general custom
in county and state elections to Sc
lect administrative officers with ref
erence TO their political affiliations
rather than with reference TO their
efficiency.
The evils of this perniCious system
have become SO manifest that num-
Der of states, including the state of
Washington, have provided against
the selection of judges through
means of partisan elections, and in a
number of states other officers have
been taken out of the mesh of party
elections. Our large cities are pro-
hibited from selecting the officers
through the medium of partisanship
and there is no thought any more of
selecting school directors and officers
of like character through the medium
of political parties.
The same reasons urged for the Sc
lection of judges and city officers out
side Of partisanship, have surely as
great application to the selection Of
county and state officers. What diff
ference does it make whether or not
a county auditor, or county treas
urer believes in a protective tariff or
free trade or favors preparedness or
is opposed to it, or is a Republican or
Democrat, so long as he is efficient?
No private individual employs labor
or help upon the basis of party poll
tics at all. Why should municipali-
ties, counties and states?
AS to the destruction Of the polit-
ical parties. it will have quite the OPP
posite effect. 1t will ennoble the par
ties and make them stand for prin-
ciples rather than for the distribu-
ton of political pie. No one con-
tends but that the party spirit is
strong in Great Britain, and yet there
the parties represent principle entire
ly, and not the distribution Of polit-
ical jobs as in this country.
In reply to Mr. McNeely there is
this to be said: If in this state the
principle Of nonpartisanship is adopt
ed as to county and state officers,
then the Republican party, instead of
being an organization standing for
jobs only, will be political party
standing for principle, and the Demo-
cratic party will be something more
than a mere organization to get Of
fees.
1t is a curious thing also that the
most strenuous opponents OF nonpar-
are those who are active
for public Office through
the medium Of party nominations.

SAN FRANCISCO.-From the Ala
media county Jail, where he is held
to answer for burglary, William Heg-

ten a poem called boy O. Nine"
Boy o. Mine.
I'm writing these lines, dear boy O
mine,
To try to engrave on your tender
heart
A token of strength as living start.
For love you well, small boy O. mine
In the years to come, Oh, boy o. mine,
You'll pass near shadows of shame
and crime,
You'll be tempted and lured full
many time;
It's the test of worth, good boy O.
mine.
So I'm praying to God, Oh, boy O.
mine,
To guide you safely through treach-
erous ways,
To steady your hand, to tighten your
days,
And to make you a MAN, dear boy O.
mine.
But in veal or woe, dear boy O. mine,
I'm always your dad and I'm always
glad
To share your burdens and sorrows
sad
It's part of my life, Oh, boy O. mine
II you rise to the heights of power
and fame,
I'll laugh in the thought that you're
part of me;
And my soul will ring with a melody
OF fathers love, brave boy O. mine.
And if you should sink in the depths
of hell,
Or if you should rot in a murderer's
CELL
Or be shot as traitor at sunrise bell
I'd love you the same, Oh, boy O.
mine.
For you're bone of my bone and flesh
of my flesh.
And the sins you do and the deeds of
crime
Are evil growths of MY deeds of time.
For I'm always your dad, dear boy o.
mine.

DEATH s OF
PAST WEEK
RANDALL H. HEWITT

another early-day resident of
Olympia. who since 1876 had made
his home in Los Angeles, Cal, passed
away when Ralph H. Hewitt, 76 years
old, died unexpectedly from heart
trouble at the family home April 16
according to word received here this
week. He had been forced by illness
to retire from active life last sum.
mer. but up to the day of his death
had appeared to be in the best of
health. Mr. Hewitt was born in
Seneca Falls, N. Y, of a family that
was known for it's hardihood in blaz-
ing new trails. When he had finished
the education that his home town
could give him, the young man was
lured by the call Of the West, which
was then just beginning to draw it's
hosts of pilgrims over the Santa Fe
and Oregon trails. His impetuosity
and the fact that his uncle, Christie
pher Hewitt, then was planning his
second trip to the Northwest, gained
his parents consent to leave. United
States cavalry conveyed the OK train
in which the party rode. Arrived in
Olympia, Washington, Christopher
Hewitt was appointed by President
Lincoln to the territorial supreme
bench. Randall Hewitt became clerk
of the district court and later pub
lished newspaper in Olympia. In
1876 Mr.. Hewitt was moved by the
growing fame Of the Southland to
transfer his fortunes to Los Angeles.
He returned to the newspaper bust
ness to become city editor of the
Morning Herald of that city. OF late
years he held position in the city
attorneys Office there. Mr.. Hewitt
was a Mason and member Of the
Los Angeles County Pioneers society,
Of which he was for many years pres
ident. He had also been president
of the New York State Society of
Southern California. He is survived
by his widow, a sister, Sue NJ. Hewitt,
and his son, Judge Hewitt.
