Mayor Hagerthy, in an article pub
lished elsewhere in this issue, makes
strong appeal for more consider
ate use of Hancock hall 1t is re-
grettable fact that youthful minds
so often have a bent toward destruc-
tiveness, and disregard of the prop
erty of others is not an uncommon
failing among boys of larger growth
But Hancock hall is public property,
and belongs as much to those who
destroy as to those who would pre-
serve. The expense for damage
falls upon all, the responsibility for
preserving should be felt by all. In
every gathering there should be
some who feel this obligation, and
it is their duty to themselves and to
the public to report those who do
not observe it.

Sheriff Ward W. Wescott has an
nounced that he will be candidate
for denomination in the republican
primaries. Sheriff Wescott says he
has been in a somewhat peculiar
position. He has been endorsed by
groups of republicans in various sec
tions Of the county for a third term.
and has been urged by friends from
all parts of the county to announce
himself as a candidate. But Sher-
IN Wescott is a party man, and de-
-Ierred making any announcement.
or giving any definite assurance to
mis- friends, until others who had
any desire for the office had been
given opportunity to announce them
selves. No such announcement has
peen made, and Sheriff Wescott
therefore feels justified in making
MS announcement at this time. The
objection to a third-term candidate
applies with less force to the Office
OF sheriff than to any other county
once except that of treasurer. in
which it has not been observed. The
sherin's term is for but two years.
and he must make his residence at
the 1all-house, thus being put to the
expense and . trouble of moving.
sherin Wescott has served efficiently
and aeceptably.
