Competition In Contracts.
It is clearly the policy of the town
and city authorities to encourage com-
petition in bidding for nearly all. kinds
of municipal work. This must be fol~
lowed, hoivever, by rigid inspection of
the work performed, and by holding
the successful bidders strictly to the
terms of their contracts. If contractors
think they will be allowed to slight
their work they will bid below honest
competitors, with the expectation of
making their profits by failure to com—
ply with the contract specifications.
While it is clearly the duty of the au-
thorities to encourage competition in
bidding, it is quite as clearly their duty
to enforce specifications
whether successful bidders make any

Humane Treatment for Jurors.
The treatment which has been ac-
corded the Leutgert jury is a. pleasing
indication of modern tendency toward
humanitarianism. There was a time,
not so very long ago, when a jury
locked up to consider its verdlct in a
capital case was denied every possible
comfort. {The most meager fare, the
lack of preper sleeping accommoda-
tions and generally uncomfortable sur-
roundings were cons1dered necessary
to produce a quick decision. There
wele laws in force here 1n the District
of Columbia, 'says the Washington Post,
which gave the Judge authority to
keep the jurors on bread and water
until they had agreed, It made no dif-
ference how long and arduous had been
their task, the punishment of insuffi-
cient food and lodging was meted out
to them if they showed the least dispo-
sition to hesitate in reaching an agree-
ment.
Something of the same sort of treat-
ment seems to have been accorded the.
Leutgert jurors until they rebelled.
They spent the1r.first night consider-
ing the case and‘s'natching what sleep
they could upon improvised couches
.rooms, but if it is the spot where love
made of chairs and tables. In the
morning they demanded breakfast, and
because it did not please them, ap-
pealed to the Judge for a better dinner.
They got it. Then they asked for a
box of cigars and it was sent to them.
At night they requested beds and a
change Of quarters, and so they wele
given comfortable cots in the’court-
room. ' ,
There is no reason in the world why
the requests made by these jurors
should not have been anticipated.
The man upon whom the responsibili-
ty of a human life rests should have a'
clear brain and an unfatigued mind if
he is to reach an unbiased and accurate
conclusion. It is a relic of barbarism
to believe that judgement hastened by l
a, desire to return to the common de-
cencies of life is a proper judgment.
I I f. the system Of starvation and depriva-
tion is a good one it should be practiced
by the judge as well as by the jury, yet
we do not recall a case where the gent-
lemen of the bench locked themselves
in a 100m and denied themselves food,
fire, and light with the View of reach-
ing a clearer understanding of the law.
The consideration given to the Luet-
gvert jury is a wise precedent. I Justice
will lose nothing by humane treatment
to those in whose hands the careful ad-
ministration of the law is tempo1a1 ily

for such an amount being intrusted to
the postal se1 vice, and, when approach-
ed on the subject, a prominent ofiicial
of one of the leading express compan-
ies stated recently that the last year
had witnessed a radical change in the
transportation of moneys, which form-
erly had all been forwarded by express:
but were now being sent in many in-
stances by mail, the aggregate postage
and registry fees presenting a differ-
ence as compared with express rates
that tempted many to depart from the
old method and adopt the new.
The official added further that fre-
quent train robberies had compelled
the express companies to go to great
expense In equipping their through
cars with stationary combination safes,
which as recent “holdups” had proven,
afford security against any attempts on
the part of road agents to get at the
contents, but that even should they
succeed, in the majority of cases little

On account of the diversion of the
moneys from express to the mails, and
that it would not be unnatural to ex-
tection of the valuable parcels in his
care as train robbers will, of course, go
where the money is, and it is now in
instead of the express car.
Inquiry as to what steps the express
companies would take to regain the
traffic, elicited the reply that they had
expended all] the revenues from this
source in the past in surrrounding the
money with every possible protection
and running down and punishing
thieves, and that they would simply
wait until losses as the one referred to.
and the attenion of train robbers to
this new channel for transporting
moneys proved it to be neither a suc:
cessful nor profitable experiment.

FEMININE CHAT.
No one can have? joy 'to-day who, is
worrying about to-morrow.
Giving away what they cannot use
is some people’s idea. Of charity.
Men condone so much more in a
pretty women than in a plain one.
.The ability to read aloud ‘without
fatigue is a rare joy to the possessor.
Some of the tail feathers used on
fashionable millinery droop quite on
to the shoulders. '~
To realize how little people’s protes-
'tations of friendship mean try to bor-
10w money from them.
Your home may consist of only. two
abides whatmore can you desire ?
'. The sensible woman would rather
have a dozen men friends than one lOV-
er. But how many women are sensi-
‘ble .9
The wOman of fine figure will not al-
- low herself to be persuaded into wear—
ing a blouse boiice even if it is the
fashion.
The gown that doesn’t show a buckle
or ornament of jeweled design is dubbed
very plain by the up-to—date woman.
It is a. rash man who says he would
like to see his lady love angry. She
may get so at him and then the charm
is broken.
A bit of braiding on street gowns and
a sash on evening ones seems to be the
distinctive mark of the winter modes.
HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with

home; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too f1 equent desire
to urinate 01 pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder a1e out of order.
WHAT To Do.
There Is comfort 1n the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’ s
Swamp-Root, the g1 eat kidney remedy
fulfills eve1y wish 1n relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beez. and 0v e1 comes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to ui in-
ate. The mild and the ext1a01dinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest- for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. , If
you need a medicine yOu should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
f1 ee by mail.
