CITY HEALTH OFFICER.


In communication. somewhat in the
ruture of petition, signed. but not de-
signed for publication. by several well
known ludies in this city who appear mp
prehensive MS to the public health, The
Post has been asked ito say good vmd'
for DR.. Rutherford In the latter's oaDdi-
dacy for the position OF city health ofatcr.
The Post has been neutral as between
the various candidates for the city Of
fices and has only discussed issues affect
ing the general interests OF the community
as they have arisen in the campaign. 1t
can not now depart from It's well known
policy of fairness towards all who are
worthy OF popular support, hut of RI. Ruth
erford. as q man, it can always speak with
pleasure. In doing so there is no DISPOSE
ton to disparage any other gentleman who
is n candidate for health officer, or city
physician.
But Dr. Rutherford has been so long an
honored citizen of Houston and ID so
thoroughly qualified for the duties of the
office he seeks. that 1t is by no means
singular that a large number of citizens
are anxious to see him elected. Unless
this city is cleaned as 1t has not been
cleaned for years past, and put in that
desirable condition quickly. there is going
to exist such n strong apprehension Ct
danger to the public health that many
citizens will early leave for other points
to spend the summer and thus greatly re-
duce business. An emergency. therefore,
is here, and the people must select the
man to meet It. Evidently that man must
be especially equipped with experience ana
decision OF character 10 fill the require
nents of the hour. Never before has the
city so demanded vlgor and fearlessness
md conspicuous ability IN its health Of
ficer 1t will depend upon that official
this year whether we have panic or a
feeling of security and, possibly, whether
or not we have an epidemic,
No delay, no indeelsion, no half way
measures, or sanitary bidding" viii sur-
flee this ycar--Houston mus, be epidemic
proof by May.
It is possible that other gentlemen who
are candidates along with Or. Rutherford
might rise to the demands OF the oacasicn
and meet the emergency as we'll as he,
but 1t is certain he would not be found
wsnting His long experience in exactly
such work as he would be called upon to
dc and have done, his noted aggressive
ness and conspicuous courage, his iupar-
tlality and trelcss energy, would tell
quickly and tell wonderfully upon this
city In the matter OF sanitation. There
would be no trIfling With Or. Rutherford.
ard this commrnity knows 1t!
What his chances for success are. The
Post does not know. but 1t does not hest
tate TO remark that II elected city health
officer, he would be e-eminently the
man for the hour!'

Marshall Newell was a great football
