VERY likely party conventions will be
held in the city this spring and city
officers will be elected with reference
more to their party affiliations than to
their fitness for the positions. 1t is al
ways safer to belong to the party in pow
er than to have qualifications for the
office sought. Why will not the city
fling party to the dogs in local matters
and select men solely with reference to
their ability to properly discharge the
trust they assme? There is no party
question to be considered except the
selection of an official paper and The
Pilot doesn't care a FLIP whether it be
declared the official paper or not.

The Nord Weston thinks high license
would not be cure for the ll-managed
saloons now being run in Manitowoc.
1t is very doubtful. however, whether
such a man as Weber could afford to pay
a license much above what is now fixed
by the city council. But it does not
much matter about the means, provided
the end is secured. If these saloons
which are scenes of rows and drunken
ness are closed, the license question will
cut no figure. Until this work is accom-
plished the license question will be q
prominent one.

something over 100 volumes and the Sc
