The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1894-02-16

ent council is not prohibition council,
but it's policy has not been in the dlrec.
ton of fsvoring the saloon business in
any OF its aspects. Quite the contrary.
This policy works we'll. Why should it
be disturbed?
We believe the good sense of the kind
OF citizens needed on the board can be
trusted to do the right thing in the mat
ter of legislation on this subject, and
that full attention may be paid to the
more important duty Of choosing men
Who have the business ability, the good
judgment, the practical experience, the
integrity and the time to conduct the
complicated affairs of the city efficiently
and faithfully. Novices in public affairs
ought not to be placed in a position that
requires qualifications of q very practical
kind TO till. The business that ia car
ried on by the council in trust for the
community chiefly concerns the pockets
of the people and the same sort OF quail
ticetions that would be expected of
firm that should be placed in charge of
large contracting and fiscal concern
ought to be looked for in selecting coun-
cilmen. They guard the interests Of the
city in dealing with men OF many call
ings; their knowledge of men aud affairs
must be constantly drawn upon and
their Judgment exercised in behalf of
the community, as we'll as with refer
ence to the individual claims of men,
bers of the community. One idea men,
whether their hobby be high license or
entire prohibition, should not be placed
in the council.
