II would look rs though we shall
1ctIln to the Indian custom Of lcav-

the work while the men loaf as pro
icSsional officers of the law. Common
sense and efficiency have no rccogni-

which they know nothing.

THIS s>andalons system OF blundcr-

X ght here in Richmond, the Ell

be left to the Department OF Public
Safety. The head Of that Department
should b. literally paid and the Chief
Of Police should have salary in
keeping with the Importance OF the
position. The police force should be
composed OF picked men, who have
seen service and tho salaries should
I've well nigh double that which they
have been receiving. The high cost
Of living and the increased cost OF
dying demand this.
The ollce-hOldcrs are the hardest
hit by this increased cost of living.
II is popular now to talk about Great
Ing Few offices, but unpopular to
talk about increasing the pay OF
those who arc holding office. The
salary Of the Governor OF this State
Is joke and the salary OF the May
or of the city is on basis with his
anbordEnates. Still, this is the meth
Oh OF governing these days. The sys-
TEN IS like the craw-fish. It works
backward. 1t may be though that
Saneness and salty may once more
be observed in the land, when some
statesman with the manhood and
the back bone will have the voice
loud enough to call a halt and to
lead the people back to the founda-
tion principles that their leaders
have 80 ANONYMOUSLY deserted.

IRepubliean A. P. Leased Wirel

CHICAGO, June 5-Delegate con tests, which have furnished spectacular features of the re-convention period, were finished tonight by the Repuhli can national committee with decided advantage to Governor Lowden, al though on actual instructions of the 131 contested delegates, General Wood received F and Governor Lowden seven with 116 uninstructed. The re- ported leanings of the disputed dele gates favor the Illinois governor
 The committee in the two Missouri seats refused to seat any contestants.
 All of the II district delegates from Virginia aligned with the Slemp fac ton were seated. The committee re- jected earnest pleas of negro contest ants for seats and also decided separate anti-organ anization contests in the third and eighth districts in favor of the Slemp faction.
 Lowden Wins 65 Seats
 According to the reports of the can didates favored by the delegates seat ed. the 135 delegates involved were distributed as follows
 Wood. IS; Lowden, 65; Johnson. I Judge Pritichard of North Carolina, IT: uninstructed and scattering. 31, with the two Missouri contests reject ed entirely.
 All Of the contests are expected to
  dentia1s committee and subject to re- vision by the convention Itself.
 The final day $ proceCdings in dis position of the contests. which have kept the committee on the job for 2 solid week, were marked by an attack on Senator Moses of New Hampshire for his charges that steam roller tactics had been employed against Wood delegates and by unanimous adoption of a resolution looking to re- organization of the Republican party in the .solid South"
 "Whereas it is increasingly appar- ent that the so-called solid South is in fact an economic issue strongly in clined to the principles of the Repub lican party, and
 Whereas, it is obvious from repeat ed contests before the national com uituee and other facts no less note worthy than Republican votes in many of these states are not increasing in proportion to the increasing belief in Republican principles,
 Plan Reorganization Tn South
 Resolved, That the chairman of the national committee appoint a special committee of three of it's members one Of whom shall be from the South, who shall very carefully and impartially study the whole political situation in the South and also it's relations to that in the North with a view of re- porting at the meeting of the national committee. or as soon as the special committee thus appointed shall be ready. how the Republican party in states of the South shall be reorgan fzed or constituted to make it q more effective agent for the spreading and re cognition of Republican principles and of election of Republican elec- tors"
 Chairman Hays of the national com mittee will be an ex-officio member of this sub committee.
 Despite the arguments of the negro contestants, the committee seated all the so-caued regular, or organization delegates from Texas and Virginia.
