Now a courthouse proposal comes from a < member of the county board, which appears - on it's face more worthy of consideration than any plan or program presented with tne exception of the joint administration build ing proposal The member suggests that a new courthouse be built on the present site of the jail, and that the site now occupied by the courthouse be sold to the city for the erection of municipal building. There seems to be room enough for such construction, which could be so planned as to be conven- iently connected and be more economical than the present arrangement A Jolpt county and city administration structure, built in distinct units. but so designed as to reduce the cost for both has many advan- tages.
 If the city commission favors the pur- chase of part of the site for the purpose proposed there seems no reason why the Ouesition could not be referred to the people. Whatever may be the technical legal powers of the county board respects the reluc- tance to submit any plan for new court house to the voters, such powers are not founded on the spirit of the law. The peo- ples present and future convenience and ln- terests are involved ill this or any major public project. and they have the right and should have the privilege of passing judg ment on public improvement of this charac- ter.
 It may be that plans could be so prepared as to make the new proposal worthy of se- rous consideration by both city and county. So far. doubtless owing to absence of any concrete plan. no headway has been made towards agreement between the board of revenue and the city commission for a joint administration building. In view of the pro- posed bond issue for school improvements, in which there is deep-seated public interest. and in further view of the probability of postponing action for bond issues to take care of several municipal improvements, in cluding a new city hall. it may be that steps for a new city hall would have to contem- plate sale of the present structure. But this. too, would properly be subject to approval of fhe voters

WHEN WAR SHALL CEASE
Spokane Spokesman-Review

Wars will entirely cease when all the na- tions of the globe become truly good and truly wise all the time. There can not be enduring peace so long there is a likei- hood that single aggressive nation may he swept into wartime fervor and' lose even momentarily, it's goodness or it's wisdom.
 But there is hope that wars can be reduced to smaller minimum than in the past. Some of the old-time causes have practically been eliminated. Religious wars and dynas- tie wars are seemingly thing of the past. as also wars that sprang from a monarch s whim or passion or a woman's pique.
 An influence that has made modern wars so terrible in magnitude and destructiveness paradQxical though it may seem, is the trend toward democracy in government. In the days of dynastic wars monarchs went out to fight with little armies-10,000 or 10000, or at most 100000 men. But the world war, with all it's terrific intensity and stubborn prolongatiOn, was carried OH because whole nations on masse, were keyed up to the highest pitch of resolution and sacrifice.

A. GUMP NOT INVOLVED

z The American people cannot fail to be impressed by the fact that Mir. Andrew Gumps name and reputation emerge from the oil and other inquiry without the slightest tajt bemish. Everybody knows where Ardl 43t his money. He got it from his Cncle ' m. How Uncle Bim got it is not ~pe, ifiealy given out, for Uncle Bim sa' if n. Australia, land where the con- 4ressi9n curiosity cannot dsport itself. '1bat ne came by it honestly is not to be doubted. for is he not also a Gump! As riHa" fues o. it begins to appear that among iE1 -et1 few who did not get some of the oil .en' were the Gumps.
 %.e w. Gump (the W. doubtless was saved when the Andrew changed to Andy) told the people of the United States that he wore no mans collar. but that statement failed to make the impression it would now make for the simple reason that the people thought every candidate could honestly say the same thing. If the election were to take place tomorrow, the ballots for Andy would fall so thick and fast that there would be no chance for an interruptions opponent to count him out
 A. Gump is so honest that he instinctively detects honesty in others. Even Mir. Hepwing, who for time appeared to be a villain of the deepest dye, could not conceal from the astute Mir. Gump his essential claim to hon. esty. Andrew trusted him unreservedly and wholeheartedly. once he had made up his mind, and the resulting facts showed how correctly he had estimated the Hepwing character The nation needs more men able to pierce the cloaks and mantles of pretense and to dis cover the real person underneath. Andrew Gump instinctively reacts to sincerity and honesty. If one comes in contact with him to whom he does not SO react, then the con. clusion is unacceptable that such one is not to be trusted
 Let the president appoint Mir. Gump to the position of attorney general, where his gift of insight into the human character may become of national public value. Besides. has not Mir. Gump another eminent qualification for presidential appointment? Was he no 1f-~ defeated at the DoIlst

Watching The Parade
By JOHN PILGRIM

Down on the shore of the baysi is small cottage in which cheerful negro keeps up a woodfre during the ducking season, and pre- pares the most marvellous messes of spoon bread and duck stew and roast oysters with bacon and salt broiled steak
 The way you soft-broil steak is to take piece of three-inch thick meat and make a plaster of wet rock salt on both sides and wrap wet paper around it and put it on the fire. fs
 And a frequent sharer of the wholly heav- enly comforts of that rough shack IS man who is more than ninety years old. He does his part in the blind each day he goes out. He kills as many duck to the score of shells as any one, and does not shoot more than twice as often as he says he does;
 Ut just shows what duck shooting will do some one said.
 Nonsense" said the nonagenarian Then he told his story. When he was fifty years old his doctor told him that his lease of life might be measured by months. % Other phy- siciaps said the same thing. They gave hlm A diet and a lot of rules He obeyed orders, but he did something more.
 II made up my mind to make myself young again by thinking myself young, " said he.
 He deliberately put out any thought of in creasing years mounting disabilities. lie learned 10 uance anu tausht hhhsch tV lane an interest in the theater, which he had al- ways regarded as waste of time. He com pelled himself to keep up with the appalling output of books. When automobiles came Tn he drove one of them first. He went fishing. He cut out of his list of acquaintances every one who spoke of him as old. or to him as though he were an old man. He wore clothes that were perilously near flashy in cut and check.
 And I'm young today" he said, ''and I'll continue to be young until some day say to myself
 ".Im an old man. Then I'll die"
 He shoots his legal limit of ducks. That's pretty good for a man more than ninety years

A TRULY GREAT MAN
DeKalb County, Mo-. Heraldy

lDeNdlo county, MO-, t1eraiuI
 Recently it was announced that Frank Woodruff had sold the Woodruff hotel at Gallatin and was quitting the hotel business. Frank has been a historic and impressive figure around Gallatin. He, has been in the hotel business long time.a
 He also has run a bus line for ten or a dozen years.
 And he's the man who has that great big pear orchard between Gallatin and Altamont And ,he has considerable land.
 Was the mayor of the town
 And used to be the ice man and ice maker for the community:
 Moreover, he's the towns biggest man. He weighs upz around 325 or $50 pounds In fact. he is very large. He is so large that John Yates Glasscock tells of him this kind of a story
 The teacher was asking the pupils what was the greatest event of the old world Some little fellow answered that.
 Then the teacher asked what was the great est thing in the history of the United States Answer: The Declaration of Independence.
 Then maybe what was the biggest even in Missouri.
 The teacher was getting pretty good an. swers to his questions and finally asked Whats the biggest thing ever pulled off in Gallatin?" And one little fellow said:

LET THE FACTS COME ouT

The oil scandal, which investigation at Washington has already developed to point where public confidence has been more or less rudely shaken, has done much to impress upon the people the practical, as well as ethical, value of integrity among their high public officials. Evidence has been brought out which emphasizes the principle that wrong-doing in the public service is more far-reaching and more reprehenSible than when individual character alone is involved. because in the former situation the culprit not only injures himself and is likely to ex- ercise harmful effects within his sphere of individual influence, but he injures the peo- pie by the tendency of his acts to lower standards of the public service.
 What the people want is q complete reve- lation of the situation, They have already been given sufficient evidence to convince them that the government, their government, has been the victim of corruption in which one or more high government officials were guilty of acts injurious to the public welfare, a The people are in no humor to be deluded or imposed upon by attempts to shield any body under the spacious plea of political ex- diency. The Republican party could not do itself greater injury than to give the country the impression that this is being attempted. The oil scandal has pretty well disturbed the whole country. and honest and honorable mem bers of both political parties are demanding the facts, presidential campaign or no presi- dential campaignA Mir. Falls refusal 10 tes- tify without immunity does not look well. 1t

NEYADA's DEATH CHAMBER

Ne.'t6e experiment. in lethal gas cham hers hss S parently not aroused much en- thnsiasn ,ng the leading murderers of that atsts Even the Chinaman chosen for the hnmcr e testing the new method of execution wns apparently not appreciative of the dis tinctiou ac" Irded him. There is strong prob ability that Nevada will lose many of her more prominent criminals, who will migrate to other states in sincere expression of dis approval of the new execution policy. Thus, having gone to the great expense of preparing, by the most modern method. to usher con demned men into the Great Beyond, Nevada will have an expensive outfit on her hands and no use for it. Criminals may look upon the hangman's rope and even the electric chair with some equanimity, but the thought of deadly gas is too much for their nerves. Their only resources will be to take refuge in the friendly technicalities of the law.

THE ELECTION ENTRANCE FEE

While the fixing of April 1 as the last day for candidates for county offices to an nounce themselves is mere coincidence without significance, it is noted that assess ments of candidates to meet primary expenses were increased from one per cent. to one and half per cent of the first years salary of the office to which the candidate may as- pire In view of the number of aspirants already announced and the many others who are prayerfully considering entering, the in crease in the aggregate will be considerable. For instance, should there be twenty candi- dates for the board of revenue, the total as- sessments would come a bit heavy. Unless one had aS fair chance to win, the expense might be burdensome, comingJ as it does, on top of other costs. not to speak of the time and labor consumed in the process of ton-holing fellow citizens.
 Rut what's the difference? There are many zealous for office in this big county. They are still coming in. Before election day there will be a printed list as long as ones arm from which to choose. The as- pirant is not the only one who takes chances the voters frequently take even larger risks and pocket their losses with little complaint Time and again voters cast their ballots for q candidate they don't know, because they do know his opponent. It is frequently a case of fifty-fifty or even ten -to-one shot
 
 to get elected fail to be comforted from be- ing scratched but many a voter, on paying his taxes and contemplating his small benefits therefrom, discovers that he was worse than scratched-actually Stung
 So why should aspirants to public office worry about little thing like increased as sessments! It Is sometimes worth the diff ference to candidate to ascertain what his fellow citizens think of him in possible position of trust. The water is fine. Why should not aspirants to public favor plunge in: Some of them may find the tempera- ture too low, after taking the plunge; but few others get cold feet in election times, re- GardleSs of the deals handed them after the fellows they supported are Snugly fixed in office. Why should the candidates kick about the comparatively small chances they take in coughing up slightly incre ased entrance fee: Let them think of what .ke voters have to endure not only for the period of campaign. but all the time until the next one comes around, and so on without apparent breathing spells

ABOUT spooNERIssf R

At the age of eighty. Dr. Spo6ner of OK ford has decided to retire.

By islanders were doubled up with mrth when they heard: You have tasted two worms i; you must go home by the town drain" On another occasion his impressiveness in the pulpit became a minus quantity when he spoke of the Deity not as "a loving shep- herd," but as "a showing leopard" Again, by virtue of his locution, a "half-formed wish" became "a half-warmed fish ;' and some who knew the honest ways of the good and gentle old man were not a little pained to hear him say.
