The shah of Persia thinks that the
art of printing transcends all others
and has a particular admiration for his
court printer. He has lately seen a
typewriter and the idea that printing
can be accomplished by the mere tap
ping of the keys was almost too much
for him

The Approaching City Election.

The Approaching City Election.
The election of a mayor, three
trustees to succeed Messrs, WEIGH
Songer and Williams, a treasurer,
clerk, marshal and police magis-
trate will take place six weeks from
today. The conservative element
have always counselcd the selection
of only one ticket, but the bellicose
nature of q number of other voters
has overruled their advice, with the
result that spirited contest en-
sued. Perhaps, however, it is best
that these friendly contests occur,
for it very obviously gives the voter
a better opportunity to express his
choice both in the caucus and at
the polls. While this division of
sentiment may for brief period
create contention, the welfare of
the city government will suffer no
harm therefrom; on the contrary it
will arouse an active interest in
local affairs that cannot fail to be
prolific of some good through the
medium of educating the people
upon matters relative to the town
government. As far as persons
available for these positions are
concerned, it is clearly apparent
that there are scores of good citi-
zens here who are thoroughly
capable of properly discharging the
duties devolving upon the incum-
bents of any of these offices, and
while we would like TO see only
one ticket in the field, we would
not have much. if any, occasion for
regret if half dozen tickets were
nominated. But the PILOT does
believe that there are two men
whom everybody would be pleased
TO support, namely: Jas. McGraw,
the present police magistrate, for
the mayoralty, and V. e. Metzler,
for reelection as treasurer. The
former is a very popular gentleman
whose name is a synonym for all
that is honorable, which fact to-
gether with his business tact and
thorough familiarity with public
affairs recommends him for the
place. We do not know whether
he would accept the nomination or
not, but we do know that he has a
host of friends here who would
change his title from Judge" to
Mayor" We make this statement
with Difference for the excellent
administration of Mayor Schaefer,
whom we understand would not
accept the position again. AS for
for the Office of treasurer, the bank
is unquestionably the safest and
most convenient place for its loca-
ton, and morever, the accountant
qualifications and uniform courtesy
of Mr. Metzler, make the bank the
best place for the treasurer's Office.

Peace and happiness cannot exist
in the vicinity Of an individual who
has habit of setting everybody
right. He is generally untitled for
the office, being one of the exasper-
ating people who are continually
saying what they would do, while
really doing nothing at all. 1t is
usually the drone or idler who
stands about and watches others
work who can suggest dozen ways
in which they can do better. Like
all others, this town is afflicted
with a liberal quota of this class,
who are of no use to themselves
and who are a detriment to any
progressive community.

Too many people are inclined to
say bad things if a newspaper fails
to give every minor item of news,
when at the same time they take
no trouble to give the editor any
information. A number Of our
readers are awfully insultod by our
failure to note the arrival or depar-
ture of friends, of social affairs, or
of Heaven-sent babies that visit
