have acquainted themselves with the
task they undertook in behalf of the
people. They do not understand the
city government.
The present administration came in
as n business administration to con-
duct the affairs Of the city on the
same principles that they conducted
their own affairs. Evidently this bus
mess program has been q failure.
Have they been too much occupied
with their own affairs to give the pub
lie business proper attention; or have
they mistaken what city government
really is?
They found big machine, the
growth of years, that took half a mil
lion or more dollars to feed annually;
they levied the tax necessary to pay
the expense, if the amount was not
realized it was not their fault and
they did not try to square their affairs
by the application of any recognized
business principle, such as a calcula-
ton of the failure to collect every
cent within given time, or reduc-
ton of expenses to bring them with
in possible revenues.
The present city administration sue
ceeded to load of debt left by pre-
ceding administrations; they succeed
ed to plans for extensive and expen-
sive Improvements, such as a sewer
system; they were the heirs to a po-
litlical machine that had been built
up at the expense Of the taxpayers
for the direputable purpose of per-
petuating official local combines in
power.
Right here we might stop and put
our finger on the corrupting sore of
our city government and say that our
present city administration is gull
ty, but no more so than their prede-
cessors. The barriers of the law to
protect the ballot box from corrup-
ton, to protect public office from the
briber and promiser, the charter pro-
hibitions against interest in the city
business become to be regarded as
light and gausy fictions. We must
first cut this sore from our local poll
tics before we can have a healthy
city government. Men who buy their
places on tickets, and purchase their
offices, either by the use of money,
promises or patronage cease to be
servants of the people, they are the
masters.

The advice of the Condor cor
respondent in the Fossil paper, in
reference to encouraging immigra-
ton to this section, is timely and
sensible. Almost every issue since
its birth the GLOBE has contained
items and articles setting forth the
advantages this county offers to
immigrants and homeseekers over
any other portion Of the country,
and we propose to continue in the
good work until all of the choice
government land is taken in this
vicinity. No one has chance to
know better than do the county
assessors how much vacant land is
fenced up in this county-used for
stock range-as rich and fertile
land as has ever been filed upon.
There ought to be a family residing
on every 100 acres Of this land and
no doubt would be if it we're not
fenced in SO that homeseekers
would know what land is yet va
cant. Ex-Assessor Wheeler in
formed ma that there are hundreds
of claims, government land, in this
county--as good land as he ever
saw-used for pasture, that no one
would ever be able to learn wheth-
er it is vacant or not, without ex-
amining the county records or
plats at the land Office. This is
one of the principal drawbacks and
hindrances from the country set
tling up as it should be. Only this
week we learned of several hun
dred acres of very choice land with
running water on it, within four
miles of this town, that the gener-
al public has always thought had
been filed upon years ago-simply
because it is enclosed with a fence.
Homeseekers can find some valu-
able homes yet in this section by
going to the trouble of a little in
vestigation.

An old cavalryman says that a
horse will never step on a man in
tentionally. 1t is standing order
in the English cavalry that, should
9 man become dismounted, he must
lie down and keep perfectly still.
If he does 30, the entire troop will
pass over him without his being in
jured. A horse notices where he is
going, and is always On the lookout
for a firm foundation to put his
foot on. 1t is an instinct with him
therefore, to step over a PROSTATE
man. The injuries caused to hui
man beings by runaway horse
are nearly always caused by the
animal knocking them down, and
not BY his stepping on them.
