Tho fnct that tho party which has boon In power for somo years carried tho election last fall obviated a general gen-eral chango In the porsonnel of tho staff In tho various offices. Tho changes In tho county offices aro exceedingly ex-ceedingly fow and it Is bettor so, because be-cause those already employed aro not only efficient in a general way, but aro thoroughly trained by exporlonco In tho duties of their positions. County Clerk Eldrcdgo mado few changes in tho staff of tho office. D. A. Smith was promoted to tho chief doputyship in the equity and law department de-partment and W. H. Farnsworth was made chief deputy in tho probate side. Mr. Smith has been in tho department for somo years and Is thoroughly efficient. effi-cient. Ho takes tho place formerly occupied by Georgo G. Armstrong, who was elected district judge and took his seat on tho bench Monday. W H. Farnsworth Is a now appointee, but ho is well qualified for that kind of work. Ho is a bright young business busi-ness man besides being well versed in tho law. From a political stand- 1 fM point also his appointment is an Ideal ' $B one. C. S. Buckwaltor, Harry Evans, i9B old nnd ofllciont mon in tho office, ' tfjIB Mr. Eldrcdgo did well in retaining. fglB As Truth foreshadowed a month or '111 moro ago L. P. Palmer retired on Do- , ' jfflB comber III as clerk of tho supromo ' court nnd was succeeded by H. W. , iiaB Grlfnth, his former deputy. Mr. Pol- 'lijgB mor wns clorlc of tho Supromo court i 1 FBl sinco statehood nlno years ago. Ho 1 ) iwfl was thoroughly ofllciont, connclon- ' IjfBl clous, faithful to his duties nnd nl- "leBl ways obliging. Ho retires with lion- ( 'B1 ors and takes a rcspnnslblo position ' In tlio county recorder's olllco. Of ' IBl Mr. Griffith tho now Supromo court 'riuf BB clerk, nothing but what Is good can bo . said. IIo Is thoroughly familiar with Kfflttl tho work, thoroughly rcliablo In jlfirBl ovory respect and will mako nn ideal ff The board of county commissioners ! Irl approved tho appointments of Wil- )" 'JjfBl lard Hanson ns assistant county at- ., i torney and Miss Woodmnnsco as F SAB stenographer, but declined to npprovo ' t ,j(ijlBf County Attornoy Christonson's np- polntmcnt of J. P. Lyon ns second ns- Ml sistant on tho ground thnt ono assist- ; ant to tho county attorney was sufll- ' ' $1B1 clout. Whllo thoroughly bollovlng In f ( ' !oBl tho principle of economy, Truth vory ftfBl much doubts tho wisdom of tho board M , 1 IwH in its viow that tho business of tho ;,' ofllco can bo properly conducted with j, ,ouo assistant. Tho ofllco has novor boon boforo run with ono assistant. f'fH Tho iiollco court business is almost " MH siifllclent to occupy tho cntlro time of ono man nnd that is only a small por- , , tion of tho work which falls on tho 1 ofllco. Wo notice thnt at tho ond of I i j mf-H last year 77 criminal cases, a largo I',:' j!iH number of which woro charges of fol- j i,. 'ieifB onles, woro dismissed mostly for lack ' , '3!rH of evldonco sufficient to convict. If tho ' former county attorneys had had moro if fl ho) p it is moro than probablo that ov- t jijlH Idonco could liavo been c '"cted at i , tlio proper tlmq which w ad havo i i'iB gained convictions In a go dly num- ' "r!Ba ber of thoso ensos. Too many crim- i . ; jrH lnals cscapo justlco. Tho county at- i t ifuB torney 's ofllco Is a poor placo to prac- j llifBfl tlco cliccso paring economy. llfH Tho county board also turned down j , Ba County Treasurer Cnrbis' appointmont u , iffiH of Frank Swenson to a position in j iuH tho treasurer's office. Mr. Swenson 1 t 'jffH is a good, steady, ofllciont clerk. Whilo f ijH no causo was given by tho board for j wWB not confirming his appointment it Is j iMHl generally understood it was for pollt- i SnH ical reasons Mr. Swenson having loft 1 j IjfiH tho Republican party and affiliated i ,jHHl with and worked for tho "American" IMS party in tho recent election. Tho rea- jj mV son for the non-cohiirmation is valid. j BH |
