frequently of more real consequence to the clti-
Gems than the proceedings Of any other law
making bodies. The Enquirer argues that only
suitable men should be nominated and elect ed
and that personal popularity should not be the
only chief recommendation. The word suit
able implies discretion, Judgment, common
sense, interest in the community, and desire
to act honestly, justly and impartially The
elections for these councils will take place next
month There is ample time to look around
and make proper selections and nominations.
To assist in doing this is the duty and interest
