SUGGESTIONS LOOKING TO-
WARD A BUSINESS TICKET

Many months ago The Herald sug
gested that a committee of citizens as
sumo the responsibility of nominating
ticket for mayor and aldermen, to be
voted upon at the approaching spring
election.
AS a tentative list of names of men
suitable for such a committee, the fol-
lowing is submitted. The list has not
perhaps been as carefully balanced as
some politicians would like, but it will
be seen that the republicans are de-
cidedly in the minority, while there are
enough who may be classed as doubtful
to leave the balance of power in their
hands.
If some such scheme as this were
adopted. no nomination should be ac-
cepted unless endorsed by at least
two-thirds vote. There are twenty
five in the list, and it is not likely that
any honest and intelligent voter would
refuse to endorse a ticket that was
nominated by the unanimous vote of
seventeen men like these.
The plan suggested by Mr.. Russell
has some points in it's favor. Under
this arrangement the taxpayers of the
city would vote at primary, at which
they would select twenty-five men to
act on this committee. The men Sc
1ected should then bind themselves
(this is The Herald's suggestion) to
take Office if offered them, and the
twenty-five, voting among themselves,
should select nominee for mayor and
nominees for eight aldermen, within
their own number.
The nominees for aldermen should
bind themselves to serve without pay,
and to pay over to the committees
nominee for mayor, if he is elected, the
amount they receive from the city as
salary. The mayor would thus receive
5000 in addition to the s75 monthly al
lowed by the city, thus making it pos
sible for worthy man to take the Of
flee even at some sacrifice of his pri-
vate business.
A possible list of a citizens nomi
mating committee is as follows: Messrs.
Morehead, Stevens. Stewart, Small,
Calisher, w. H. futile, Hammett,
Coles, ]. w. Fisher. WalZ, Freuden-
thai, Max Schultz, Powers, J. A. Smith, |
Springer, d. NJ. Payne, Foster, Kohl |
berg, Krakauer, DIR. A. E. Brown, DR.. |
Villas, DIR. Turner, Rev. H. w. Moore, |
Messrs w. H. Burgess and Beall.
The Herald favors the plan of the |
voluntary assumption of the duties of
such committee by a body of represent !
alive men, rather than their selection
by a primary election, believing that |
the former plan is a better guarantee
of securing well balanced, representa-
tive, and public spirited body of men.

Theodore Roosevelt has made the
strenuous life the ideal for thousands
of his country men, Bishop Potter
pleads for 'vigilant citizenship. Both
are trying to rouse men to higher
things, to awake public opinion to bet
ter government. Bishop Potter does
not advise citizens to personally Inves-
tigate or clean up the haunts of vice,
but urges that it is citizens duty to
protest against and report attractions
of the law, and abuses and wrongs;
he should exercise vigilant watch ov-
er the law, order and government of
his city. He advises that citizens use
the columns of the newspapers to
make public the abuses and violations
of law that go on under their eyes, and
expresses his admiration for the fear
lessness of the press.

1t is rumored that Astor too will get
a Dock. Miss Aston is reported pretty
and charming and there is no reason
why she should not have a Dock if she
wants it. Her father can afford it. The
love-lorn youth is Roxburghe, just re-
turned from the wars in South Africa,
and it is believed that Aston will get
his moneys worth.

reported that burglars had stolen the
panes of glass out of the windows of

range from the kitchen of another,
leaving the bricks and most of the
mortar. Neither report yet comes up

stole a red hot stove and the fire that
was in it.

So little are average citizens affected
by fear Of "militarism" that they show
no special interest in the fact that both
houses OF congress have passed bill to
increase the army OF the United States
to not less than 6O,OOO or more than
100000 men. The bill is still to be shap-
ed in some details in conference, but on
the main points congress is in agree
ment. 1t was the judgement Of both
house and senate that return to n reg
ular army Of 21,0OO men for a nation OF
7GO0O.OO0 people was absurd. and that
theory will be heard no more. Speeches
were made in congress. as a matter Of
course, predicting that the new army
will over throw the republic and the lib
erty will be put to death by the sword
or rifle carried by the one man in hun
dred, but the familiar rant was brushed
aside as the utterance OF coronic pessi-
mists or of those who have no real faith
in popular government. Speeches Of
this kind awakened no echo whatever in
the country. The people OF the United
States, with few exceptions. believe that
