ME-. EPPSf RESOLUTION.

The Times is q believer in popular
elections
Full, free and fair elections by the peo-
pie OF the officers who are to administer
the government is the sure corrective Of
evil I'm government and of good officers
for the future. But it is not possible to
elect all government employees by popular
vote No one would argue that all the
policemen, all the firemen, all the en-
pioyes of the gas and water works,
should be chosen in public elections, which
proves that there must be necessarily ex-
cepuons to the rule that officers are to
be chosen by popular vote. For this
reason, while approving of the general
tenor of Mr.. Epps' resolution, we are
not willing TO see 1t given all the scope
that he asks for It. We think the police
justice and the city attorney certainly.
and possibly some other officers, should
be chosen in public elections, but we can
not agree to the chiefs Of the police, Of
the fire department, of the water works,
OF the gas works, or the city engineer
being chosen by popular vote. All Of
these officers have large number Of
employees under them. II their offices de-
pend upon the popular vote, they will
inevitably turn all their employees into
canvassing agents 10 secure their own
reelection. The department becomes at
once, then, a huge political bureau full of
rottenncss and corruption. Good gov
eminent then is not consistent with having
the heads of departments who control a
number OF subordinates chosen in cleo
lions by the people. The true theory is
20 have each one Of these depart
ments controlled by a commission and
to have those commissioners chosen in
popular elections. Though our police and
fire departments are not all that they
should be. because the commissioners
are elected by the Council instead OF by
the people. yet they manage both those
departments admirably and show what
would be accomplished II each department
wire under the control Of commission
which was elected by the people in an
open election.
Mr. Epps should. therefore, change his
resolution so as 10 provide that each de-
partment should be controlled by COM
mission and that the commissioners should
be elected by the people.

Perhaps the most daring of the expert

tury 10 a contemporary which gives a
sketch Of his achievement, is Nikola
Tesla, who was unknown 10 the scienti-
fic world five or six years ago. but who
to-day Is regarded as a second Edison
and who has achieved more magnificent
results than any half-dozen of his con-
temporaries combined, says Paper and
Press.
To sum up mis- achievements in few
words is impossible. He has discovered
or rather demonstrated the possibility
Of Illumination without wires or globes,
i'm almost exact imitation Of daylight.
This light he can vary 20 order, and al
though he has not been able TO bring
il 10 what may be termed a commercial
basis he has advanced so far IN the di-
rection that comparatively little remains
to be done before the public can buy
daylight by the room Instead OF by the
lamp or light. And this is but one OF
his marvels. He has produced a flame
which does not consume and which gives
out no heat whatever. and has thus laid
the foundation for untold developments
In every phase OF electrical work In
the production Of ozone by electricity
he has also scored distinct triumph. He
has shown that nearly all sanitary pro-
blems can be solved by the aid OF cleo

strides In the direction Of solving the
