man OF intellect and an intellectual man. An

about literature or music, and but little about
painting or sculpture. He took no interest in
TIE so-ealled problems OF life, and he had but a

necessary that that body elect temporary
presiding officer. When Mr.. White was
absent from the city and Mr.. Hall be-
came acting mayor, he did not resign. The
board chose Mr.. Miller as its presiding
officer. and when Mr.. Hall was relieved of
his temporary executive duties he returned,
as it was clearly his duty to do, to the
presidency OF the board and nobody ever
doubted for moment that such was the
order intended. A proof of this is given
in section of article ILL.,, wherein it is
specifically declared that the president
can only be removed by two-thirds vote
of all the members, although only q
majority of quorum is necessary to
elect him.
There seems to be hardly less doubt as to
the perfect legality of the city council pro-
ceeding to elect mayor. The intention
OF the charter is that no popular special
election shall take place within three
months of general election-the object
being to prevent an unnecessary expense.
Mr.. White resigned within q week of the
ninety days. Now, if it be Enthusiastically
apparent that election by the city council
is wise, economical, without injury to
any right and clearly within the intention
of the charter, while special election is
impossible without Aagrantly violating
the spirit of the fundamental law, neither
common sense nor judicial decision will
favor the latter course.
The obstacles to special election are
many. The registration books close De-
cember 81. 1t is necessary to give thirty
days notice of an election and ten days
before that event the registration books
must be closed. Therefore, even if the
thirty days did not elapse till December
81, the registration books must be closed
until January il, and when they were
opened nobody could vote because the
state law says every voter must be
registered again after January l. To
meet the registration law, then, and give
voters reasonable opportunity to register,
the poll books should be kept open during
thirty days in January, then ten days
must elapse after the closing of the books,
which would bring us up to February IL.
The general election takes place March s,
less than a month afterward.
The city would therefore be put to an
expense of 81 900 or more to elect mayor
for four or five weeks at the utmost.
1t usually takes two weeks to prepare q
notice of election. because in the same
ordinance must be announced the polling
places and the names of judges and in
spectors, all of whom have to be selected
with care. Assuming, however, that this
could be done by December Is, that would
allow the registration books to be open fif-
teen days in January, a period altogether
too short, as experience has demonstrated,
within which tc admit of a thorough regis
tration of voters.
The short time allowed for registration
would be so unjust to voters, and the short
time between the special and the general
election SO manifestly repugnant to the
charter, that special election is practically
forbidIon

As the indianapolis Journal tells the story OF
the late Governor Hovoy's part in the repulse OF
the Spanish feet off Csllao about twenty years
ago, the torpedoes which he advised being
planted in the harbor were nothing but kegs OF
gunpowder having electrical connection with
the shore. When the Spanish admiral saw the
water thrown 100 feet into the air by the sub
marine explosions he believed that his ships
were in nest OF real torpedoes, and he hastily
ordered the feet to withdraw to long range
Although the Peruvians had but few heavy
guns they were superior for long-distance fight
ing to those of the war ships, and SO the Span
iards were quickly driven out to sea. 1t is
doubtful If any ruse more successful than that
which originated in Mr.. Hovey's fertile brain
can be found in military or naval history since
the Greeks entered Troy inside the wooden
horse
