ton board was temporary expedient to
tide over the emergency in that city. It
was not intended by the trainers of the law
that such extraordinary power should be
permanently vested in the governor They
intended subsequently, to frame an election
code which should provide for state, county
and city boards, of which the state board
alone might be appointed by the governor.
Undoubtedly some such system ought
to be adopted whereby boards, which
ere actually non-partisan, should be created
for state, county and city purposes; but the
governor should appoint the state board
only; and the members of that board
might, if deemed proper, be selected by
him in equal numbers through lists fur
nished by leading political parties. Such a
board would be non-partisan In fact as well
as in name. 1t is believed by some good
lawyers that plan may be devised for
cities whereby the people can elect one-half
the members of the boards, and the mayor
compelled to select the other half in such
manner that the membership would be
equally divided between political parties.
Indeed, such system, if not in conflict
with the constitution, might advantageous
ly be applied to the creation of state and
county boards permitting the governor to
appoint one-half of the members of the
state board, and some suitable authority to
appoint half the members Of the county
boards. Whatever plan you adopt let it be
your aim, while giving the people actual
non-partisan boards, also to permit them
to have direct part in choosing election
officials.
THE ORPHANS HOME.
: The Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home
has recently suffered severe visitation of
diseases resulting from defective sanitary
conditions. Searching investigation should
be made for the cause thereof. A special
committee, composed of experts, ought to
visit the home at an early day. The ap-
pointment Of such committee does not
necessarily reflect upon the trustees or Off
GERS of the home, for the trouble may arise
from causes beyond their control The mat
ter is too serious to excuse the slightest ne
glect or delay. The state has no trust more
sacred than the care of these orphans and
nothing should be left undone to cherish
and rear them in health and comfort.
