ME-. JOHN McELRoY contributes IN
article to the last Popular Science
Monthly upon the value of vice to
society. He argues that Vice serves
the same purpose among human beings
that natural selection does among AMI

vival Of the fittest and weeds out from
society the elements which If permit
ted to exist would be lis greatest weak.
ness. The weak moral specimens Of hu-
mainly fall victims to it and die much
sooner In consequence than those do
who are strong enough to resist 1t.
TIE result Is that the progeny of the
former are less In number than those
Of the latter. Vice, according to the
writer, exerts an eliminating influence
on what ought to BIO eliminated and
thus drains mankind of Its bad blood.
He says the policeman on the next
corner will bear decided testimony

THE ELECTION.

The result Of the election Is Just
what might have been expected. The
party machine as 1t was run ~by.packed
primaries and conventions failed In the
main to voice the sentiment Of the
best elements of both parties. The
democrats nominated a solid ticket for
the city Offices which war weighted
down by very inferior selections fer
the council. The republicans held
their nominations back until the last
minute. No man outside Of poll
tics could be found to run
against Judge Savage. That gave
the unanimous nomination to
Colonel Chase. The contest for police
Judge In the convention degensrated
into q fight between Rodney Butcher
and Pat Halves with the latter two
lengths ahead. The rest Of the ticket
varied from good to Indifferent and
bad. AT the last minute conventions
were held I~urporting to represent
vorkingmen. The prime were
idlets who make q business at every
election OF bleeding candidates and
trading in votes, which they can't de-
liver.
The outcome 10 satisfactory mainly
to these who we're chosen. Colonel
Chase Is elected mayor by less than
100 majority, while the democrats re.
elect Buck and Bsueke by maj critics
ranging from 600 to l 500 The new
council as predicted by THE BEE will
be republican by more than two.thirds.
The board of education will be made
up of 81 fair representation AS the Bys.
tenn of partisan nominations will
sllow.
The most remarkable feature Of this
election was that the republican wards
went heavily for the democratic ticket,
and the democratic wards gave major
tiles for the republican mayor, Thit
only shows that party principles had
nothing whatever to do with tho cleo
| ton.
The liquor element conceived thu
Idea that Judge Savage would enforce
the high license law. TIE gambling
fraternity had grave doubts as to how
their business would flourish under
Cslonel Savage's rule. These two In
terests worked In perfect harmony TO,
the republican candidate. On tn
other hand, . majority of the 'repub
loans. who live In the Fourth ant
the Sixth Wards, were afraid tina
Chase would not enforce the laws
and had misgivings whether the polio
regulations would be as loose as the,
are now II the republicans elected
their mayor.
Mr.. Baoh was supported by a larg
number Of republicans who wanted T.

He was all right with the liquor ele
