FoReor ABOUT THE ELECTION

A terrible controversy has been rag ing between Josephus Daniels. secre- tary of the navy. and Representative Blanton of Texas. Some time ago Daniels announced that fin June he would send the American fleet around the world. Blanton attacked the plan in language positively sulphurous. And a day or two after the election Daniels came back, declaring that fin spite of Mir. Blanton he'd sent the fleet any how next June.
 He must have had his tongue in ms cheek when he wrote that rejoinder or must have forgotten about the election for next June MT. Daniels will have nothing to do with the American fleet. He will be an ex-secretary of the navy His asutcessor in office will determine on the policy of world cruising.-Cfus F. Karger in the Cincinnati Times Star

CALLS ELECTION
 CLERK OF COURT

After ruling for and against the election of Clerk of the Superior Court, Attorney General Wiley E. Jones has advised the Secretary of State that an election for clerk of the court must be held in this county. Attorney General Jones Thursday last wired Anson H. Smith of the Miner, as follows:
 "On my advice Secretary of State sends order by mail to include Court Clerk in election call.
 WILEY E. JONES,
 Attorney General"
 A peculiar condition arose in the matter of the clerk of the superior court in this county. Lon Teale, the sitting clerk of the court, was a can didate for reelection, two years ago and was elected without opposition. Following the election and before he could qualify for the term to which he had been elected, MT. Teale was taken, i'll and died. Frank N. Van Marter was appointed to fill the va cancy and it was understood that he would hold that office until the cleo tion in 1920. The board of super visors that came in on the first Mon day in January, 1919, thought other wise and appointed J. T. Morgan to the vacancy CD. Morgan brought suit for the office and the matter was threshed out on demurrer. Judge O'Connor, of Santa Cruz county, tried the cause and decided in favor of MT. Morgan. Notice of appeal was giv- en, but the matter was settled be- tween Mir. Morgan and MT. Van Mar ter. At the time of the suit it was understood from the ruling of Judge O'Connor that there would be at the next succeeding election an election to fill the vacancy, but the case of State Tax Commissioner Kuechler came up to change the opinion of the Attorney General and as a result the superior court clerkship was consid- cred in the same light and was left off the call for the primary. twill now go on the ballot.

Jefferson in Misfortune

When Thomas Jefferson retired from
the presidency and returned to MOnti-
cello he was much in debt, though at
the time the fact was not know to
most of his friends. He emulated the
example of Washington by trying to
be farmer. but was so far unsucceSs-
full that each year he ran more behind
financially. In the meantime he was
keeping open house. entertaining law
iShly and sometimes having as many
as fifty guests.
At length his affairs got into such
bad shape that he was compelled to
ask congress TO buy his library and
historical papers, which were thereup-
on sold to the nation for $4,000.
These books and papers now form one
of the most valuable possessions of
the library of congress. The money
tided Jefferson over for while, but
he was bankrupt when he died, IL
years after his departure from the
White House. To the day of his death
he took an active interest in public
affairs. He established the Univer-
sity of Virginia, serving as its first
provost, and personally superintended
the erection of its buildings.
