VOTE FRAUDS. There is but one
position for. Judge Scully to take as
judge of the county court, in charge
of elections and that is to go after
vote frauds no matter by -which polit
ical faction they were committed.
All courts should be non-partisan,
of course and non-factional. But
the court that is responsible for the
conduct of elections should know
neither friend nor foe in prosecuting
election frauds. The thing to do is
to stop election frauds no matter
whom they help or harm.
The same rule should hold good for
the state's attorney and all other pub
lic officials having anything to do
with the administration of the law.
ALLIANCE AGAINST WILSON.
John Temple Graves, one of Hearst's
editorial cadets, writes In the Chi
cago Examiner that an alliance
against President Wilson Is being
formed, and that it is made up of
the Prohibitionists, the Suffragists
and the German-American Alliance.
Is that what the HearstSullivan al
liance in Chicago politics means?
Is Hearst to deliver Chicago to Sul
livan, and then have Sullivan deliver
the Illinois Democratio delegation to
Hearst In 1916?
ELBERT'S IN AGAIN. Elbert
Hubbard' is writing in the Chicago
Examiner again. This time he tells
railroad men they must not drink..
Not long ago Elbert got his name in?
print, along with some perfectly love-.
ly letters he was writing to John D.1
Rockefeller, Jr., about the Colorado ,
coal war and, incidentally, selling
a few copies of his paper to the
Rockefeller interests.
SHORT ONES
The fellow who works hardest sav
ing money upon which to retire us-t
ually has just enough to settle the in-t
heritance tax man's estimates.
By the way, what has become off
that Ghostly Horseman who came at!
the head of the Russians to lead themr
to Berlin? s
Honesty is the best policy but it is;
awfully hard to get anyone to believe '
it while he is. making out his tax
schedule. ' i
We probably soon shall see just
how sacred those allied guns hold the1
mosques and holy places of Constan
tinople. , Jow that Col. Goethals has been;
made a major general that Culebra'
Cut would better stop sliding.

TEN MILES FROM HOME.
"Say, you've been tinkering with,
this thing two hours. I thought you '
understood it so well you could take
it to pieces any time."
"Well, so I can. But I didnt say Xk
could put them back, did I?"
