MISTAKEN POLITICIANS

The opinion has been expressed bv some
of the city politicians that an article IN
the Morning News on Friday commenting
Alderman-elect Williams independent
stand respecting city offices was an in
dorsement of Mr.. Wnlink, the chief of
the department of public works. The mol
ticians In question are mistaken. There
was no intention to indorse Mr.. Willink.
or any other city official There was no
purpose 10 say to the aldermen-elect that
the present officials or any of them ought
to be kept in Office. We say no more
than that capable and honest employees
should be retained regardless of their DO
litical leaning in the recent city election.
The only Endorsement the article con-
tanned was that of the sentiments ex-
pressed by Mr.. Williams. He said. in eff
feet that he did not favor turning Off
Gals out of office simply because they OPP
posed in the municipal election the sue
cessful ticket. In other words, If we I'M
derstood him Alright, he was not an advo-
cate of the spoils system. He thought
that capable and faithful officials should
be kept in office-that the affairs of the
city should be managed on business prin-
ciples.
That is the view that we have been try
ing to get this city to accept for a number
of years. We have seen no benefit come
from the biennial fights over the few city
offices. As a general thing, the offices
have been given to political workers not
because of their special fitness for the
duties they were expected to perform, but
because Of the services they were sup
posd to have rendered their factions. We
are confident that the great majority of
the people want the Offices filed by men
of merit, not by men whose chief recon-
mendation is their ability to control a
number of votes. 1t is a safe opinion that
a great many votes were cast against
Mr. McDonough in the election last week
for no other reason than of belief that
a small coterie in the faction which sup
ported him was too successful in getting
offices and too active in its efforts to run
the politics of the city.
Mr.. Myers has the good fortune of hav-
ing been elected without promises or
Outstanding. He has stated he will give
the city a business Observation-Disclosures an
administration by the polticians-and he is
in a position to do what he says he will.
Our article on Friday indorsing the senti-
ments of Mr.. Williams was in the di-
rection of assisting Mr.. Myers to give
the city such an administration as his
public statements have led the people to
expect His administration two years ago
was regarded as a partisan one He asked
for an Endorsement of it, and his request
was refused.
He will soon be in the Mayors office
again. II he is guided by his business
judgment and his letter of acceptance.
rather than by the advice of the politi-
clans who have partisan feelings to sat
isfy, revenges to crafty and political
friends 10 provide for, he will not be re-
fused an Endorsement OF his administration
il he wants il.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Chronicle Dem.) says: TN
view of the failure of the attempt to raise
So 900 for the regular army for a war
emergency, of the anxiety of the voun-
teers now in the service to go home, and
of the fact that only "a per cent. of those
who left employments in Chicago TO enter
the service at the outbreak of the war
have found employment since their re-
turn we may well doubt whether the men
who would be needed for the regular army
under the Presidents plan could be OBJ
tanned without offering bounties as high
as the highest paid during the civil war
or resorting to another plan which also
was resorted to during the civil war, end
which resulted in a very considerable eX-
odus of able-bodied men of military age to
Canada. This is not a pleasant alterna-
tive for imperial politicians to face"
The Kansas City Star thus gives the
office holders reasons: ''Fhe rule of pub
lie office In America is this: Overlook the
small things. If the subordinate doesn't
earn his wages, he puts the money into cir
culation. Let the poor peanut man occupy
the sidewalk What's the use of kicking
about a pile of ashes? Let well enough
alone. If nobody complains, nobody cares.
Be a good fellow. Don't raise disturb
ances except for the party. Avoid PERM
cious activity. You help ME and I'll help
you. Be easy on the poor chap, he helped
me. Don't get dishiked. What's il worth?
The Mobile Register (Dem) observes
that zone of the most significant occur
ences in Cuba has been the paper present
ed to Gen. Lee by the Spanish residents
of Guines, compllmenting the Cubans upon
their fair conduct to the .Spaniards since
the occupation

many and the United States 1T will be
remembered that Samoa opened il with

A Society Event.

On Monday, Dec. 26, there was a grand
opening at North Powder, Oregon. It
marked the completion of the large new
town hall and opera house. The very best
band that could be secured furnished tho
music. The new building, by the wav is
entirely of logs, and it may be imagined
mat the region is not very thickly settled
But that fact did not prevent the miners
and settlers for miles around from at
tending the dance and making the rough
heWn rafters of the new hall of Justice
ring with their shouts and merry laugh
ter. A sumptuous supper was served at
the North Powder Hotel also a log edi-
flee. Tickets admitting a couple to the
dance and supper were $150, while spec
tators were obliged to pay fifty cents for
looking on Live stock was taken as
cash. This was In a social way, the event
of the winter at North Powder and the
only dance which has thus far been given
there this season. A royal time was had
and prizes were given to the best sus-
tanned lady and gentleman characters
The guests We're requested to remove
their spurs and sidearms on entering the
ball room. 1t is needless to say that LIQUID
refreshments We're to be had on the side.

style of Western art as practiced by the
disciples of Gutenberg in that region. Mr.
Backus sends also the following verses to
commemorate the function:

Swing 'em till their trotters crack.
Gents all right a heel an toein.
Swing 'em, kiss 'em if you kin;

Till yer hit your pards again.
Gents to center ladies round 'em,
Form a basket, balance all;
Whirl your girls to where yer found 'em,
Promenade around the hall,

Round the circle double quick;
Grab an kiss 'em while you've got EN-,

Balance all an swing yer sweets,
Shake yer spurs an make EN- rattle;
Keno! Promenade to seats.

Americans are credited with still another
brilliant success in Europe It is said that
the thieves who entered PARIS bank in
London the other day, In broad daylight
and while business was going on, and stole
100000 and escaped without detection,
were Americans. An oddly in connection
with the robbery is the fact that 1926, 600
of the amount stolen has been returned TO
the bank by the shrewd but mysterious
thieves. The returned bills were all Of
very large denominations, most of them
being fl 600 and $500 notes. The small bills
the thieves retained The probabilities
are that they reasoned that an attempt
to use the large bills would get them into
trouble.

The Montana murderer who requested
those of his friends who should follow his
body to the cemetery to keep their hats
on. and not take chances of getting pneu-
monia by uncovering their heads in the
cold. gave good advice, notwithstanding
his predicament. The condemned man re-
ferred to the custom of barring heads at
the grave, no matter how cold, as "a
barbarous CUSTOM" and he was not far
from right. We published some time ago
a statement from physician to the effect
that very considerable number of fatal
cases of cold were yearly contracted by
attendants upon funerals exposing them
selves in conformity with the usual Gus
toms. Proper respect for the dead does
not demand that the health of the living
shall be jeopardized.

The atmosphere of New York for a week
has been heavily sweet with the fragrance
of the forget-me-not; the heartsease, var
Hon. Joseph H. Choate, the new ambas-
sador to the Court of st. James, and the
Hon. Chauncey M. Depew have been hand
ing bouquets to each other through the
medium of the Independent. Mr.. Depew

tribute to his friend, the new ambassador,

fectly charming little tribute to his friend,
