Perhaps the quietest election in many a season will have sneaked up on voters come Nov. 8. The tew issues involved are being about as enthusiastically discussed as is what to do with last bunday s chicken bones. In Jackson county, however, there's one candidate who stands out by virtue of the lack of discussion. He is the present sheriff, Syd I. Brown. Sheriff Brown four years ago took over what once was the county's most tempestuous task. Little has been heard from his office, which is a good sign, tor in politics no news is good news when it concerns an incumbent. While there has been an absolute lack of friction in or about the sheriff’s office, Brown has been plug ging along, handling the county s affairs in a most effective and unassuming manner. In 1935—when he took the office—county warrants were 19 months de linquent and taxpayers were paying six per cent on the paper. Now warrants are but seven months de linquent, and the interest rate has been reduced to four per cent. This progress in county finances has largely been made possible through Sheriff Brown s effectiveness in collecting delinquent taxes. An unheralded service, the sheriff's tax department has been doing much toward putting the county on a cash basis. Though little has been said during the interim, the time has come to point out that Syd I. Brown has been conspicuous for the smooth efficiency with which he has managed his office. He leaves no doubt as to his value to Jackson county as sheriff. Sheriff Brown is one man we should retain in office without hesitation. Voters know his worth. the German people, for example very largely are some of our best citizens. Perhaps they do have a poignant • fondness for their former homes.

The favorite fright of the American people this fall, it seems, are the German bunds which the news papers tell us have sprung up in this country. There is little doubt but that much espionage takes places under our noses, and subversive influences are at work in some quarters. But the idea that good sub- i stantial German people everywhere are plotting the destruction of America over their steins is a lot of pseudo-loyalty and silly flag-waving. Of course, the idea of foreign-born or foreign- blooded Americans gathering together to talk over affairs of the old country is repugnant to those of us who have no such background. We can’t understand how anyone could be a good citizen and retain ties and memories of their fatherland. Maybe we’re wrong, but this little weekly—and it is as 100 per cent American as the best damned native who ever traced his ancestry—sort of suspects that At Ease On Funeral Costs Don't worry about the cost.
