the middle of the dirt (and dirty floor

Beyond the fire sat the proud owner OF
the place. a Swazie, literally enveloped in
fat, black as night and greasy as lard.

Mayor Bergman was elected on a
non-partisan platform and as nom
partisan candidate. He processes to
believe that politics should be eliminat-
ed from city government. Yet he has
made no appointment since his first
election except Of some known and
avowed Democrat. Was the Astorian
right when it said during the last cam
paign that the so-callcd non-partisan
movement was only trick to confuse
the mind Of the voter and steal in a
Republican community the franchise
Of Republicans to put the rankest and
most reckless partisan Democrats in
city offices? The Honorable Mayor has
now another chance to carry out the
pretenses and pledges Of his campaign
ana election. The vacancy in the po-
lice commission can be filled by the
selection of some good Republican or
non-partisan candidate. Let the coun-
ell. which is Republican by good
majority, hold the mayor to his ante
election pledges. Let Republican MEM
bers Of the council refuse to confirm
any nomination made by the mayor
to the police commission, unless the
candidate he selects is non-partisan-
If there be such an entity. Or, better
stin. let them decline to agree to any
other nomination than that of a good
Republican, to even up in some degree
the multitude Of Democratic office hol-
ders the non-partlsan mayor has here
tofore appointed.
