Unfortunately, the present city coun-

Five new members must be elected.

aided by a mayor regnant, honest and
strong, the holdoyers can be kept in
check. The Citizens ticket offers
good material for the municipal legis-
lative body. In the first ward is J. NJ.
Brooks, who can not be bluffed or
bulldozed. He is a taxpayer and like

swerved from justice and right With
these men on the council cooperating

mayor reform can be brought about.

the whole system when entering it

on prescriptions from reputable ply

The only answer must be, that the
matter is relative, and varies with cir

35. Some die of old age at 40. It is
almost an axiom that youth is not en-
