Grant as member of the board of DO

He was one of the original members of

held in high esteem by the dignitaries
of the Catholic faith.
Mr.. Smiths interest in the forma-

well remembered. His collection of pa

would make valuable and interesting
matter, as they are largely composed
of correspondence on public matters
from those high in authority. The
work of compiling these papers was
under way when his labors ceased by

FLORENCE. S. c., Special.-Informa-
ton comes from Washington that the
Post Master General has decided to re-
appoint Dr. J. E. Wilson, Post Master
at Florence. DR.. Wilson has made a
most efficient and accommodating Off
cia1, and this fact is conceded by all
of the patrons Of the office, white and
colored. While he is the leading Re
publican of his section of the state, and
has spent his time, money and energy
for years in keeping the party organi-
zation together, still there is some op-
position to him, and strange to say the
opposition comes from the business
men of Florence, who willingly indors-
ed DR.. Wilson's application, and stated
| that he conducted the Office in most
highly satisfactory manner and recon-

There is not a stronger or better
representative of the race in this State,
| there is no man in this community
with q cleaner business and moral rec
ord, and the President in recognizing
his faithful services to his country
his party and his race, has made no
mistake in re-appointing him. The

to repudiate the papers, which they
willingly signed, but the best citizens

great faith in President Roosevelt and
believe that he will stand by Dr. Will

so recommended Mr.. Wilson, and it is

UNPARTISAN ACTION

The vicissitudes of the New York municipal cam
paign have brought into augmented relief as was
predicted the practical distinction between partisan
pretensons and bipartisan policies in the admins
tration of civic business. This distinction is the
real issue in the metropolis now it has been and
is in other large cities; and, in other cities the
beneficial superiority of bipartisan government is
partly oversbadowed by the enthusiasm that is in
timately associated with party organization.
The vital question is whether, in municipal af-
fairs the most desirable and most thorough charac-
ter of bipartisan administration is not the more
easily attained by bipartisan activity in elections
than through a definite division of issues on strict
partisan lines. Basng the conclusion theories
is presumable that bipartisan activity should pro-
duce bipartisan government, and that since party
success presupposes party recognition in victory it
would result in measurably partisan government
When municipal and general elections are held
on the same day, party is paramount On the other
hand. party organization is almost essential to the
success Of good government movements. When
successful permanent lines, these movements
have always enlisted one OF the other Of the great
party organizations
To go deeply into the subject and show the rea-
sons for and against partisanshp in municipal af-
fairs and for and against unpartsanship would en-
tail consideration Of many apparently irrelevant
features. bipartisan activity is not always wise
although 1t is almost invariably effective for good
TO some degree. Which is better for the particular
time-partisan or bipartisan activity-depends upon
circumstances. The bipartisan movement will not
always get the Independent vote. Sometimes
party viii rise above partisanship in office and be-
come the ally of bipartisan government
When parties comprehend that their influence
viii be increased by rendering high type of good
government and that good government is equivalent
10 greater prestige, there will be need for un-
partisan activity. But have not yet separated
partisan issues from municipal affairs and we have
not entirely realized bipartisan administration from
party triumph
Ii is presumed that the nominee of party viii

not be partisan in the discharge Of his duties How
ever partisanship is too frequently eradicated
from matters of public business. An bipartisan
nominee. granting that he be competent and reIl-
able would hold out more pleasant hope under pre-
vaing conditions than a strict party candidate.
1t seems that parties must be taught in the large
cities that good government is forever the issue and
that good government is bipartisan administration
The difficulty in establishing good government rs
the eternal issue lies in the strength Of party organ
zaiion and the comparative weakness Of bipartisan
organization. II bipartisan movements can create
requisite enthusiasm they should win even over

PUBLIC STRUCTURES.
The location of waste-boxes on downtown street
corners would enhance the general cleanliness of
the business district. There would be less paper
and rubbish streets. in alleys and sidewalks.
In all probability the plan would be permanently
successful
But such receptacles must be public structures
and maintained. No more than lampposts. en-
Eine-houses water plugs should public boxes be
made a means of private exploitation.
In the City Council bill has been introduced. by
request. to authorize firm 10 erect boxes which
would be wastereceptacles as incident but pri-
narily billbosrds. \ similar bill was introduced
several years ago. but the boxes were not erected.
The Civic Improvement League has fostered the
wase-boX plan and this association has fought the
billboard nuisance. Under these circumstances it
Is quite likely that the League will oppose the bill
and insist that the receptaclcS shall not be used for
private business
Boxes on downtown street corners should be
owned by the city; or, if they are owned or taken
care of by responsible civic organization the city
should hold jurisdiction over them. To use the
boxes for business purposes would establish prec
edent for other ventures Of an undesirable and un-
beautiful kind.
