BETTER CITY GOVERNMENT
Postal Primary Plan Explained in an
Official Bulletin

Members of the Better City Govern
ment league will today receive by mail
official bulletin No. 6, explaining in de-
tail the postal primary ballot, what can
didates must do to get on it, electors to
receive it and how to vote it. In regard
to the fees exacted Of candidates, in or
der to get on the ticket, the bulletin
says:
"These. fees serve double purpose
They limit the number of candidates to
go on the ticket, for If no fee, or a trifiing
sum, should be charged, 1t would result
in ten or twenty nominations for each
office; and, secondly, they provide for the
expense Of printing, mailing, postage,
etc., which is a very considerable item
the postage alone being in the vicinity of
S400.
TT is greatly to be desired that when
the ballots go to the voters who are in
this movement, there should be at least
three nominations for every office in the
list, in order that a good opportunity
may be had to mako choice. A blank
line will be left after each list, to allow
the voter to write in another candidate
in case none of those proposed are satis-
factory to him; but such voting, without
concerted action, Is likely to be without
result, and it IS therefore, to the interest
of every voter that plenty Of good names
should 60 on the printed ticket
'It Is equally important that good men
should be nominated for each precinct
as delegates to the league convention.
Three are to be selected from each pre-
cinct. 1t is not necessary to secu-., any
endorsement to go on the ticket as a
candidate for delegate. The fee is 81.
This fee is to prevent too large num-
Der of nominations, and also to cover
expenses of printing, postage. ETC., and
of the convention itself. Only membeiW
of the league itself are eligible to go as
delegates to the convention. Ward club
members can go by joining the league
which every good and responsible citi-
zen ought to do, anyway, to help the
work along"

caily and editorially, they have given the

Suddenly the doorway opened and a

A Suggestive Incident

The sight Of judge pummeing his
court room clerk within the sacred pre-
cincts of justice is not one calculated to
enhance the respect entertained for. the
beach or to restore respect that may have
been already lost; but those who know the
circumstances which caused the collision
between Judge Campbell and Clerk o Brien
yesterday at noon sympathize with tho
former and are inclined to condone this,
his latest offense against judicial dignity.
When clerk does not attend to duty, a
police court judge has practically no means
of forcing him to do better. unless fire.
Quent public denunoiation and an occas-
ional thraShing should prove effective. The
judges do not appoint their own clerks.
They are appointed by the board of super
visors, and are of course appointed as poll
ticians. The only way in which a judge can
proceed against them is by, filing charges.

who know anything about city hall lie
know that to prefer and sustain charges IN
such circumstances is something that y
politician does not do except as a last ana
desperate resort. The police court system
is, at best, very loose one, and when, as
is often the case, even the easy rules lail
down for the guidance of their officials are
almost totally disregarded, the result may
be imagined. The fracas between Judge

Der of the Missouri house of representa-
tives, although it was necessary to pre-
sent him with a small piece of land in
order to make him eligible under a pro-
vision of the state law which requires
state Legislators to be holders of real
estate. His severest struggles now be-
| ing over, the remainder of his story may
! be told briefly.
His entrance into journalism was as
q reporter on the Westlische Post, of
| which Carl Schurz was then the editor.
/ His work Immediately attracted general
attention, and in a short time he was
| made city editor. About this time a dis
Ipute arose inst Louis journalism over the
admission of new journal to the priv
| ileges of the Associated Press. In this
! affair Pulitzer displayed his innate
| shreWdness. There was published in ST.
| Louis an almost moribund German daily
| which had the Associated Press news
| furnished in the German language. Pu-
| liter bought it for $1,000 and then an
| nOunced to the gentlemen who had been
| denied the coveted franchise that for
$4,000 he would sell them the facility
| they needed.
When he told them what he had they
| laughingly replied that they did not
propose publishing a German newspa-
| per, to Which he retorted: "Why not
| translate it back into English?" They
| declared that if that would be permitted
| they would pay the sum demanded. Then
new clamor arose. The rival newspa-
! pers said such course could not be per-
| mitted, but Pulitzer took his case be-
| fore the western officers of the Asso-
ciated press and they decided that an
| Associated Press franchise was an As
| sociated Press franchise, no matter wha
! language it was in, and its owner could
| translate it into Kamaschatkan if he
chose. The $4,000 was paid and that
was the beginning of Joseph Plitzer' s
fortune.
With this money he brought about an
amalgamation of the Post and the Dis
! patch, the result being the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch, which proved one of the
| most prosperous papers in the west,
and of which he is still one of the pro-
| prietors. His now famous entrance into
| New York journalism it would be idle
! to relate, but the character of the sue
cess which he has achieved is only
| family described in the statement that
the great structure which he has erected
stands upon ground for which he paid
! $500, 900 and the building apart from
this cost 81 100000 more.

blinded boy from Vienna whom the

The Latest In Belts

:. This seems to be an age of oddments in
the line of dainty trifles of the toilet. The
belt is as much a part of the up-to-date
gown as the skirt Is. 1t is matter OF
surprise to note how many woman wear
belts becomingly; even the plump figures
do not find them impossible. provided they
do not attempt the ultra-broad ones; which
tend to shorten any waist, however long.
The narrow leather belt is worn appro-
priately. with the outing gown. The cor
rect buckle Is covered with leather to match
the belt. with the exception of an OCCASION
al metal one. A new outing suit belt of
grass green suede shows edgings Of pol
ished patent leather and a modest buckle
of the same.
Irridescent sequin belts are still popular,
though the newest ones are all in pale va.
riegated tints combining a great deal of
white. Chameleon gilt belts are in vogue,
to the exclusion of the plain ones; there Is
