GOOD CITIZENS nUsT AID MR.. LOW.

Mr.. Low is confronted by an extremely diff
cult problem in selecting heads Of departments
for the incoming administration. On the one
hand he will be subjected to the pressure of
men seeking office and on the other by the
reluctance OF men whom Office seeks. The first
class is, for strong. independent and expert
enced executive. the easier TO deal with. Mr..
Low has already announced that he will not
parcel out his appointments among the adher-
ents Of the different bodies supporting him. He
will thus avoid one of Mayor Strong's most
unfortunate errors. But even such policy will
only free him from few Of the dangers incident
TO the establishment of a reform administration.
1t is highly important at this time that the city
departments be intrusted 10 officials not only of
character and ability, but of such prestige as to
command universal confidence and respect for
the whole government machinery. The Mayors
assistants should in their several spheres be
comparable with himself. II the non partisan
principle Is really TO achieve popular success
the thing that brings TO the service of the
people the best and most eminent talent and
puts government On higher plane than does

difficulty is 10 secure their services. Mayor

ANCIENT ROME.
Going back far into the shadows Of
the past before the page of history sheds
its white light upon the works of men
in southern Europe we find a net work
of romance or myth-concealing thought
it purports to reveal the circumstances
of the founding of this powerful city.
In lieu of a more credible account, let
us take the old story which Livy, the
great Roman historian saw fit to embody

ton to explain that he would neither

who feared his title to certain lands
would be endangered if they came to

and cared for in her den until they We're
discovered by shepherd and restored
to their grandfather. He became a de-
fender of their rights and when they
grew older bequeathed to them a por-
ton of the land on which Rome now
stands. with the understanding that one
% them was to found a city within its
limits.
In order to decide which should have
the honor of building the city, Romulus
and Remus consulted an oracle who adj
ylsed them to take stand each on his
own selected site and watch for the flight
OF birds. He who first saw the favorable
omen was to become the founder of the
city.
RomeGs accordingly with his fellow

In the ancient city the gods were by
no means neglected. Through the re-
publican centuries more than SO temples
were erected from time to time. Eight
or ten to Jupiter-as many to Juno. TO
Janus, to Venus, to Mars and some of
these were stately edfices though the
material was not sufficiently durable,
and very little remains to mark their
greatness.
After the conquest of Asia still greater
riches poured into Rome and the ancient
hill of Palatine was made respondent
with private palaces.
But Rome was even then deficient in
these things which attract most atten-
ton in our modern capitols. Tits longest
street was scarcely three fourths of
mile in length, but the houses were of
great altitude. The streets We're narrow
and dark, scarcely more than Is feet in
width, the sun scarcely ever penetrated
to them.
This then is but a meager glimpse of
Rome who from her seven hills ruled
the world. Her great roads embracing
whole centuries in the building. The
limits of this paper forbds description.
or her wonderful system of juris
prudence which makes Roman law the
foundation of government today we may
not speak.

Truly does the proverb say Rome was
not built in day. Historians agree that
1853 B. c. saw it's beginning. For a long
time it's borders were confined to the
Palatine hill a low elevation on the
south bank of the River Tiber Is miles
from the sea. The Palatine was the
center of Roman life at two epochs.
One epoch was was that of the kings and

city wall and the ruins of certain tenn
pies. The second epoch five centuries
later during the umpire, Seven palaces
are seen among the ruins of this period.
During the five intervening centuries
Rome was a republic and it's active life
conferred in the Forum.
AS Rome developed it spread to the
Aventine HILL thence to the Capitoline
hill. In the reign of the fourth king ia
niculum a hill on the north bank of the
Tiber was captured from the Etruscans
and united to the rest of the city with a
wooden bridge which became famous in
the later history of the city.

to the city and later still the last two
