AND ABOUT THIS, GEORGE

The Democratic central committee
with G. ID. Bischoff, former county
attorney, as secretary Is issuing a
statement that the county commits
sioners are drawing more salary than
the law allows. The law provides
that they shall receive SIS a day for
time spent and mileage for travelling,
not to exceed In this county 500 a
year. The commissioners are paid
$500 a year, covering all items. The
fact Is that the board spends far
more time than it is paid for. Dur
ing the past two years while road
work has been going on they have
spent fifteen to twenty days month
on county business but drew payment
only for less than twelve days. They
drove thousands Of miles in their
own cars at no expense to the coun-
ty. They have richly earned every |
dollar they received. Had they kept
a strict account of time and mile
age they would have drawn twice the
salary.
But what gets us is the former
county attorney ana Democratic COM
nittee roaring about it. s. II. Nc
Cullough, Democrat, was county COM
missioner for twelve or fourteen
years. The law read exactly as It
loes now except that part of the time
he total allowed was 5000 under the
aw, and the commissioners drew
so each month. Before that they
eceived So a day and a total not to
xceed $500 and each drew $33
1onth.
Mr. Bischoff was county attorney
Or four years and approved the bills
nd salary list; Mr.. Rugh, Democrat
'as county attorney also, and there s
as no contrary objection. Mr.. Nc
ullough drew his salary exactly as

under-sh sheriff during the terms Of his
father and has become familiar with
the office He should make a good

that position with ability. The sue

WOULD IGNORE ATTY. GENERAL

Having been informed through tn,
Renector that new law regarding
county assessor was adopted in 1919
the editors of the Democratic com.
mittee's publicity have now decided
that the Attorney General of Kansas
does not know the law. The only
person who knows the law, according
TO their statements, are the Dickinson
county Democratic politicians who are
trying to get county offices.
Maybe-but wouldn't it be a little
expensive to have local county at
torney and county clerk and board of
commissioners who refused to obey
the rulings Of the attorney general!
However, will Tom Easter promise
the people that if elected county clerk
he will act as county assessor and
prepare the assessment roll, caring
for 60 million dollars of assessed val
uat1on with over six thousand tax
payers without having any deputy or
extra help and turn back to the coun-
ty his salary as county assessor? He
might tackle it but it would cost the
months to straighten out the books.
1t is some job to do the county's
clerical work accuaterly and fully
and no office in the court house has
anything like the work of that of |
the county clerk. He is paid little
enough for it and it keeps both the
clerk and his deputy, both Of whom
are thoroughly familiar with their
work, as well as several assistants
busy all day every day and many
evenings to keep the records right.
What would happen with an ad-
that ignored the attor-
ney general and failed to put enough
help on the job to make the records
accurate, heaven only knows. A
who proposes to the peo-
pie to do that simply proposes to
tangle up the official records so that
-axes, assessments and valuations
would have the county in hot water
forever.
1t pays to have an official who
lnows how, and county attorney
Who will follow the attorney gen.
rails rulings as he is bound to do.
Dickinson does not care to expert
nent. 1t is bad enough to misrepre-
ent the law ignorantly but worse to >
ontinue 1t when the attorney gen.
rails rulings are presented.

HOLD-UP NEAR HOPE
Three Men in Red Buick Car Get

A man by the name Of Alexander

up and robbed of money and valua-
bles amounting to about SEQ. The
holdup took place near Hope he stat
ed and the highwaymen were driving

Now the facts are that the salary
Is mighty small for the service the
commissioners give and they are paid
exactly what the law allows, as Mr..
Bischof we'll knows. Then why is

he say something when he was coun-
ty attorney If he thinks the payments
out of the way? 1t is simply politics

POWER OF TIDES

We are accustomed to look upon the
tides as representing enormous unutilized
power. If we could only put them to
work, they would run all the machinery
in the world.
But is this true?
Undoubtedly if we could put them to
work on a scale sufficiently great. But
that this will ever be practicable, econom-
ically, is declared doubtful.
Engineers who have made a study of
the subject say that one acre of water ris
ing and falling ten feet would yield only
four horsepower. Taking into view, the
cost of plant, that could never pay.
They say that attidal power would be
worth developing only in few localities
perhaps in the Bay of Fundy, where
tides rise and fall seventy feet; in Cooks
inlet, fifty feet; at Eastport Me-, eighteen
feet. But these places are too far away
from industrial centres.-Ex.

TOWN OF CONCRETE HOUSES

A town of hollow concrete block houses,
with fiat roofs, steel staircases and win
dow frames is being built near Braintree,
a suburb of London. The construction
company that has the scheme in charge
claims for its idea reduced cost of build
ing, safety from fire and freedom from
dampness. Using fiat roofs instead of the
usual gable style is expected to have not
less than $140 on each house and, having
little wood to be renewed from time to
time, will it is figured, reduce the cost of
upkeep to almost nothing. Hollow walls
have long been recognized by building en-
gineers as conducive to dryness and equa-
BILE temperature. because of nonconduciv-
ity of the airfilled spaces.-Ex.

HOW AND WHAT TO READ
CONTINUED from page y

novelist. The name of Thackeray sug
gests Becky Tharpe and Henry Esmond
and Colonel New come. The fine sub
stance of Thackeray's men and women,
both good and bad, their refinement and
delicacy and intelligence and sensibility,
mark them as personalities far above the
ordinary in fiction. Dickens is to us but
a name for the little dream world in which
we make the acquaintance of David Cop
perfeld and Micawber and Peggotty and
Agnes and Dora of Oliver Twist and his
thievish but interesting comparisons
Dickens characters are not examples for
admiration but they are intensely inter-
esting because they are so human, coming
so near to us ourselves as they often do
even when we are least ready to admit
it. And unquestionably their lumber is
great.
Such are some of the principles by which
we should test and judge all works of
dramatic art whether plays on the stage
or novels. We need not, however, in all
cases wholly condemn book protesting to
be novel which falls short by this cri-
terion: 1t may be good as an essay or a
treatise or history, and its author may
have mistaken its character in calling it
novel.
Note: Look for chapter II in an early
issue, title: "The Best Essays"

THREE THINGS

Only three things ask of you, o World
Only three things out of your plentitude.
To Live:
Not in some darkened hole beast would
shun,
But in the open where the sunlight falls,
Where l can hear notes of music sound.
Hear poets sing and little children laugh,
Pass greeting with the other men who live
In the fair world that God and Man can
make.
To Labor:
Not as a slave of lust, bestial and foul,
With lash of hunger quivering on his back;
But to go singing to the work l love,
Knowing that create thing of need,
Of joy or beauty. Touch with comrades
hand
My fellow workers in the market place.
To Love:
Not slave of lust, bestial and foul,
But clearly as BELTS man for whom
A thousand centuries have travelled sore
To bear thro' agony thing worth while
A creature fit for his creative task.
Give me these three, o World! Give me
these three!
Life, Labor, Love; and l will hand
Them on from life to life as flaming lights
To make earth brilliant for million years.

EAST AND WEST

Men look to the east for the dawning
things, For the light of the rising
But they look to the west, to the crimson
west,
For view of the things that are done.
For the eastward sun is newborn hope
From the dark of the night distilled,
But the westward sun is the sunset sun,
The sun of hope fulfilled
For there in the east they have always
come
The cradle that gave the birth
To all the hopes of the hearts of men,
To all the hopes of the earth.
For there in the east Christ arose,
And there in east there cleaned
The dearest dream and the clearest dream
That prophet ever dreamed.
But into the waking west they came
With the dream child of the east,
And they found the hope they had hoped
of old
A thousandfold increased.
For there in the east we dreamed the
dream
Of the things we hoped to do,
But here in the west, the crimson west,
The dreams of the east came true.

THE OPEN TRAIL

I'd like to be a gypsy,
With gold rings in my ears,
Along the road to sit and sing,
And not to do another thing,
For years and years.
A road to dream upon by day,
A fire for dreams at nigt,
Free to wander far away
Free to shout and free to play,
Quite impolite!
I'd pitch my tent beside wall,
All apple trees within,
And if the apples didn't fall,
l wouldn't hesitate at all,
I'd climb-and sin!
But if the weather wasn't fine,
And all the world was rain,
If there wasn't anywhere to dine,
And goose flesh quivered up my
spine
Would l come home again?
