DON'T BET.


Some of our intensely partisan
friends are INDUCING in what Henry
Watterson has described as a "bom-
bastic, spurious elation" regarding
their claims as to the outcome of the
municipal campaign. Some of them
already want to make wagers on 1t.
The News" has no disposition to cur
tail any one in the full enjoyment of
his rights. but would gently suggest to
those who propose such things that
betting is not only stepping stone to
the great vice of gambling but Is
sometimes equal to it in all essential
respects: also that it settles nothing
one way or another, and finally that
they might lose what they invest in

business spirit in which their work
was begun; and 1T is the unanimous
testimony Of every member concern-
ing every other member that this
pledge has been faithfully kept
throughout all their work and deliber-
atoms.
No man has beon before the com
mittee seeking office FOR himself or
friend; and beyond doubt such an APP
plicant would be promptly turned
down. Neither has any member Of
the committee shown a faint OF
nepotism, while they have I'M
alterably resolved not to ac-
cept office themselves. The com
mittee are and claim to be Moth
ing more or less than citizens who
are personally and periodically inter-
ested in the welfare Of the city, and
who are engaged in maturing pure
~ business proposition TO submit to
the shareholders in the municipal cor
poration, the Taxpayers. That propo-
sition will take the form of a muni-
cipal ticket, and the committee has a
perfect right, in every sense, to sub
nit 1t to the people Of the city.

hope of either satisfying or silencing
the ward politicians who are invelgh-
ing against the non-partisan commit
tee, and heaping all sorts of accusa-
lions upon 1t, including tyranny ear
like methods, star chamber sittings'

that Individual is consequently in no
mood to accept any explanations or
arguments, nor to be satisfied with
anything short of the annihilation OF
the committee.
But there are thousands OF voters
in the city, who are honest and con-
scientlous. and who desire to support
that policy which will yield the best
results in municipal affairs, who are
in danger OF being misled by the repre-
