DEsERET EVENING NEWS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER IS 1901

Bioemfonteln was entered on the 18th
Of March. Mafeking was relieved on
the 18th OF May. on the 50th Of the
same month johannesburg and Pre-
toiIa were taken by the triumphant
forces under Lord Roberts and at the
same time Kruger became q fugitive,
From that date the defense has been
carried on IN desultory manner. The
military leaders succeeding CronJe ana
Joubert. though brave and skilfm In
Bocr tactics have not been able TO IN
splre the Beers with enthusiasm enough
to attempt another general rally. Even
the prediction Of Kruger that the con.
quest Of the Transyaal would be at
an appalling cost In life and treasure
has hardly been literally fulnlled.
Many single battle has cost more
lives than the entire Transyaal CAM
paisn.
When the two South African presl-
dents rallied their handful OF followers

they undoubtedly counted ON a general
rising among the Beers Of Natal and
Cape Colony But this failed to ma

NOMINATE THE BEST.

The number Of aspirants for Official
honors is astonishing to the ordinary
citizen. We do not wish to cast any
reflection against the desire TO serYs
the people and 10 occupy public sta

iect But It IS surprising 70 see no"
many persons IN both the great parties
10 say nothing Of the smaller organlza-
tlons are not only willing but anxious
10 become candidates for places In tho
gift Of the people.
This suggests the thought that among
them all only a few can obtain the
prizes IN view. and that they ought TO
be selected with great care, so that
the best 10 be had may be secured

a common expression among the clans
orers for reward In the shape OF an OF

claim in one respect, but the chief thing
TO be considered in nominating persons

the particular position TO be filed.

character 1T them for the important
task OF making laws f9r the state
which will be In the interest OF the

in view by both political parties. II
Is matter Of regret that so many OF
the most suitable men for the work are
unable or unwilling 20 engage IN IT,
They are either TOO much occupied 10
give TO II the necessary time, or they
are unwilling TO serve for the small
remuneration It brings and the respon-
slbllty II involves. But nevertheless,
there are respectable and able men
whose services can be obtained II they
are diligently sought for.
II will be a public misfortune II
clamorers for recognition from their
