TURN THE GRAFTERS OUT.
' The slogan of the San Francisco
municipal campaign which opened
with the primaries yesterday, is "turn
the grafters out!"
Everywhere the people are raising
this battle cry and making this the
platform of city, state and county
campaigns. Graft Is not necessarily
the theft of thousands of dollars,
either. It Is just as bad. In spirit and
In practice to steal one uollar from
the city which has entrusted its busi
ness into your keeping, as it Is to steal
a. million.
The grafter Is the grarter Just the
same, no matter for the magnitude of
his crime. If a councilman votes to
pay out more money than Is necessary
for city expenses, he is grafting tho
city to that extent.
It has come to be a common prac
tice among merchants to maintain
corruption funds with which to pay
city councilmen and other public of
ficials to make purchases of city sup
plies. This la the most damnable
form of grafting for ordinary con
Burners who purchase such articles
must pay the additional cost of the
Kraft exacted by the officials.
Grafting Is not stealing hundreds of
nor thousands of dollars, but It Is pll
fering the city treasury In letting city
contract to the highest bidders, In
stead of the lowest, In paying exorbl
tant prices for city work, when hun
dreds of honest men are ready to do
tt at regular prices.
It is showing favoritism to political
newspapers, political ward heelers,
and In keeping unfit men In office
The cents that are paid out In grafts
to favorites, soon multiply into dollars
and the dollars soon Increase Into
thousands.
This cry of "turn the grafters out'
should be the slogan everywhere until
hundreds of miserable wretches In
whom the people have placed confl
dence are wearing stripes and break
Ing rock, where they belong.
It is Just as dishonest and Just as
disreputable to let a city sprinkling
contract to the highest bidder, where
other bidders are responsible, as It Is
to put your hand into the city treas'
ury and take out the same amount
as a clean steal. People are tired of
this form of petty grafting and In
small cities where they can reach it,
should stamp it out by selecting clean,
capable, conscientious men for office,
THE TYRANT CALL ROY.
There Is no tyrant In all the various
departments of railroading so arro
gant and powerful as the call boy.
Yesterday at Billings 20 car clerks
quit their Jobs because one call boy
who had read the "riot act" In the
dispatcher's office and had been dls
charged, was not reinstated. It tied
up the entire yard force and threat
ens to spread the strike to other em
ployes. . .
Master of the situation In every
railroad center is this diminutive
tyrant, the call boy. The oldest en
gineer and most pompous conductor
on the "runs" bow in humble submis
sion to him. These old veterans may
talk "sassy" to superintendents, fore
men, general managers or railroad
presidents, but never to the call boy.
He never becomes oppressive, but
he knows his "rights" and always de
mands them. Ho nover gives you tho
worst of It, no matter what kind of a
scrape you get Into. If you are late
In reaching your englno or train, he
will take tho blame and will have a
reasonable and acceptable excuse for
you at the dispatcher's office, but
what a "raking" he will give you on
the quiet.
The rules require train and engine
employes to be called one hour be
fore they are wanted. Sometimes
when business Is very heavy a half
hour sleep In the morning means
years added to your llfo, almost Just
give tho call boy a tip that you only
need 20 minutes to reach your en
gine, and he will be as faithful as a
soldier in calling you and In seeing
that you get out of bed. He will do
this for you a thousand times without
omplalning and will He like a pirate
or you if you are late.
But let some railroad man "cross"
the call boy's path, and ho will make
life miserable. He will find Just as
many excuses for calling you two
hours before you aro wanted, although
you may be dead for sleep, and he
111 make you come to the front door
on the coldest winter's night to sign
the call book, so he will have the
cinch" 'on you If you are lute. In
this case you will have to make your
own excuses.
He Is the only employe on the sys
tem who dares to rush Into the dis
patcher's office and tell the chief
what he will or will not do. His dic
tates are usually taken and he Is
master of the entire situation.
Strange to say, that very few call
boys are unreasonable or offensive
with all the liberties given them.
THE SEARCH FOR MEN.
The business world Is looking for
men who can achieve results. All
others are hurriedly pushed aside.
The keen competition among employ
ers for high-grade men is always be
ing made In responsible positions.
No sooner does a man make a sat
isfactory record than rival employers
begin bidding for his services. The
market value of such men has risen
with the demand, and there are now
several men In the United States who
are receiving over $100,000 per year,
scores who are receiving $50,000 and
better, and hundreds who are earn
ing $25,000 or more, while an un
countable host are earning over $10,-
000, writes H. J. Hapgood in Harper's.
To those who have not made a
study of this question the great de
mand for high-grade men and the
thoroughness of the search that is
constantly being made for them are
surprising. For the past 18 months
a Chicago concern has been trying to
find the right man for a position that
will pay from $15,000 to $20,000 a
year.
It Is a common expression among
large employers. "I would rather pay
$10,000 than $1000 to a man," and
they mean It They want men who
can handle men, men who can dis
cover and stop business leaks, men
who can abolish unnecessary moves,
find short cuts, consolidate plants.
make a market where none existed
before, overcome competition men
who can make their year's work yield
tenfold on the yearly balance sheet.
The manager of a large New York
department house stated recently.
We are looking for five executive
men, to whom we are willing to pay
from $3500 to $10,000 a year. These
positions are filled at present, he
added, "but they are not filled satis
factorily, and we are anxious to find
better men."
1IULGING WITH BUNCO MEN.
The Morning Oregonlun says that
the city of Portland Is "bulging with
bunco men and other dangerous
classes." The thieves are all convert
ing the fair Into a harvest. The city
detectives cannot see a confidence
man under any circumstances, It Is
alleged, but can always locate a petty
vagrant against whom there Is no
serious charge. ' '
The tame condition prevails In
other Oregon cities, only on a lesser
scale and In a lesser degree. Other
towns and cities are always filled to
overflowing with tinhorns, confidence
men and thugs, during the harvest
season, whose games are scarcely ever
molested.
Harmless tramps can be located a
mile away, but the actual criminals
who are dangerous to society, are per;
mined to swarm back and forth, In
and out of basements and attics
where their games are being run,
without detection.
The clink of gambling chips can be
heard from main streets, yet It Is Im
possible for the officials to find the
games. The people are becoming dis
gusted with such tactics and will soon
demand a change of officials and a
change of policy.
The body of Charles George,
prominent citizen of Marshfleld, was
found floating in Coos bay. He had
probably fallen off a dock In the
night, after attending JC of P. lodg
We have never heard of a business
man going to a pool hall In search of
an office boy.
STRANGE INSANITY OK
RUSSIAN PRINCESS
The Kaluga papers report the deuth
and amazing burial of Mile. Agufyu
Slmbirskl, one of tho richest and most
eccentric women in Russia, says a
Vienna dlHputch to tho Denver Post.
When only 20 years of age Mile. Slm
blrski, by tho death of her father, be
cumo possessed of a fortune of nearly
S. 000, 000 rubles. Suitors Innumerable
sought her hand, but the enormously
weulthy girl set her affections on un
ugly, red-headed gardener. Andrei
Vanukhln by name. Furious at her
choice, Mile. Slmblrskl's brother or
dered Vunukhln to leave Hie neigh
borhood. Tho gardener refused.
Within a week ho was found lying
dead in a paddock reserved for the
uso of a "half-turned wild boar."
Although an evident case of mur
der the family hushed things up, al
leging that Vunukhln had been killed
by the pig, which he well knew to be
dangerous. Contrary to expectation,
Mllu. Slmblrskl appeared to accept
this explanation. Hut the Joy of her
family was turned to despair when
tho young woman proclaimed her be
lief that the spirit of her dead sweet
heart hud entered into the body of his
slayer. From that day forth Mile.
Slmbirskl consecrated her life to the
evil smelling hog.
At her order tt firm of St. Peters
burg; contractors built a palatial sty of
granite and snow white marble. The
sty contained a sleeping apartment, a
diningroom and salon, all lit by elec
tric light. The demented woman re
tained the service of an expert cook,
who thrice dully prepared a sumptu
ous repast for the benefit of the
grunting porker. Mile. Simblrski
was accustomed to feed tho hog with
her own fair hands, and only recently
ordered a gorgeous silver trough from
a well known Moscow manufacturer.
A few weeks ago the unfortunate
girl became extremely religious, and
Insisted that Andrei for so she called
the pig should fust when she fasted.
One night she visited her marblo sty.
From that visit she never returned.
Early next morning the steward dis
covered her mistress" body terribly
mutilnted In a corner of the pig's
"bedroom." Again there were ru
mors of foul play, but again the fam
ily alleged that the pig was the mur
derer. Color was added to the story by the
circumstances that tho "fasting" and
half-famished boar had mangled one
of the arms of his mistress. In the
presence of a vast concourse Mile.
Slmblrskl's brother shot Andrei
through the heart. Afterward the
body of the boar was burled In a
grave beside that of his benefactress.
CAN'T PROPOSE OVER 'PHONE.
Entirely too progressive Is Cupid in
these modern days. Besides, the old-
fashioned method of courting is good
enough for most girls.
Out In Kansas City Walter Clark
fell deeply in love with Miss Louise
Mutschler. No one blamed Clark, for
the object of his adoration Is a pretty
and attractive girl.
Clark's suit, however, did not pros
per. Ho failed to find in the eyes of
Miss Mutschler tho favor that permits
the lover to Joyously produce an en
gagement ring.
In other words. Waiter Clark pro
posed and was rejected. Did he re
tire disheartened, from the field and
nurse the agony of his soul In silence?
Not he.
His persistence in seeking a favora
ble reply to his proposal finally result
ed In his appearance before Police
J ii dire Brady.
Miss Mutschler told the Judge that
since she rejected Clark he had per
slsted In renewing his proposal over
the telephone.
Now the doors may be barred and
a rejected suitor kept out; but how Is
foionhnne to be guarded? Not
knowing whether a call on the Instru
ment was from some girl friend or a
messnen from the grocer. Miss Mut
Kchler would respond, only to find
hnrenif no-nln helne asked for her
heart and hand.
Clark, she said, called her up In
the morning, in the afternoon, and In
the rtewv eve. and sometimes at night.
always with the same eager, tender
query.
This raised an interesting question.
What constitutes a breach of the
peace by telephone? Judge Brady
decided that after a woman has re
jected a man he must stay rejeciuu
that Is as much her right as to reject
him In the first place.
Use of the telephone In such cases,
the Jurist thought, could be classed
as a style of Importunity, amounting
to a breach of the peace.
So Clark was flnod $26 for his per
sistent lovcmaklng over the tele
phone. Denver Post.
MUNICIPAL FUNERALS.
According to a French paper, on
December 29. 1904, it was decreed
that the monopoly of funerals should
be equally divided between the cities
of France and the churches, ine city
has the exclusive right to transport
the body, to decorate the exterior of
the mortuary building and to furnish
caskets.
The church, on the other hand, has
the sole right to decorate the interior
of the house of the deceased and to
decorate the churches. From the
mortuary buildings provided by the
city there go forth each day 150 fune
ral processions, or 55,000 a year,
Twelve hundred persons are employ
ed In the Industry. Including offices,
workshops. ' warehouses, stables, etc.
A stock of materials to the value of
11,000,000 I carried. The services
rendered by this branch of the Paris
municipal government are divided In
to many classes, but only the first
five are profitable. On all the others
there Is a net loss. The institution Is
required to furnish caskets and other
materials free to the Indigent poor.
The charges In the first of the five
classes on which a profit . is made
amount to $1430, which Includes 1200
for the catafalque, each coachman and
livery 13 and fl extra for shoulder-
knobs, and ttO extra for cockades. A
standard of flags costs $5, and a war
horse, led by hand, $8. The caskets
vary In pries from S9 to H0, accord-
ing to material and finish. Although
thiB department has been In operation
but a short time, It is Judged to be
successful. Wllshlre's Magazine.
Ed Debeau, 90 years of age and
un Inmate of the county hospital at
liutte, slashed himself badly with a
dull and rusty knife, In an attempt to
commit suicide. The attempt failed
utterly, but he will probably die of
blood poisoning and tetanus.
This would be a dreary world In
deed If thero were no rainbows to
chase occasionally.

Nature, U Uii aloot, will cure (or itself;
this might have brrn true at some prehistoric
timet but since lor ages it has not been left
alone, but h.is been bound down and fettered
by the observances and mandates of society, it
can do longer care for itself.
At no time does the truth of this appeal to us
more strongly than at that period of a woman's
lite when she is about to become a mutlier.
Nature must be assisted at this crisis, and
for this very contingency

has been devised that the muscles and tlevuea
Imprisoni-d and weakened as they have been
by the drew of our higher civilization, may
fulfill without undue su He ring and possible

Mother's Friend by its kindly offices softens
and relaxes these parts and enables the mother
to be, to piss through the parturient period
and actual crisis with practically notutferinj;
