BUSINESS AMI. POLITICS.


man has no business mixing mp in
politics. A business man mas no bust
ness not mixing up IN politics
because politics Is business. The
trouble with Columbia today is that
business men have not Been at the
helm.
The Herald has been accused al
various and sundry times Of various
and sundry things, but the Herald has
never been accused of 'crying over
split milk. Experience has taught
as the philosophy OF resignation in
defeat. We sometimes refen to the
past to point moral or adorn tale,
Dut we try to keep our face always
boxing forward.
The looking forward part Of this
article is that Columbia needs bust
ness administration of its affairs. for
two very important reasons. First,
10 extricate it, as far as possible, from
the muddIe- of debt and difficulties the
present administration has thrown 1t
into; and second. to avoid further debt
and difficulties another like admins
tration to Inc present one would entail
upon the present and future tax payers
of Colum bia.
That is business and that il looking
forward to the business interests of
Columbia. We need not recount the
nIsdeeds and omissions OF the present
Board until some of the number-that
= some OF the original and responsible
number, announce for reelection.
Then we shall undertake to give facts
and figures and reasons why they
should not succeed themselves.
But there is auotner thought in this
connection. The influences which
elected this Board should not be
allowed to elect another Board. We
are not preaching now from a moral or
temperance standpoint. though that
would give vantage ground enough;
but from a purely business standpoint,
the sponsors for this Board should not
be permitted to stand for the next.
And why? Because they-these
sponsers-are selfish politicians look
ing especially after the interest of a
class, and not for the good OF the
whole people. They elected Board
who reduced their license and raised
the peoples taxes to make up the
deficit. They elected a Board who
RENTED their fines and made the
people pay the costs. They elected a
Board who voted away the peoples
money and gave away the peoples
streets to a rich railroad corporation,
sver the peoples protest and to their
manifest inconvenience and injury.
Their history in all times past has
been that Boards Of their choosing are
VIGOROUSLY careless, incompetent and
extravagant. The general pubic good
rs secondary to the protection OF their
special friends and sponsors. "Lsw
Enforcement to them IS meaning
sss phraze. Public Office 10 them Is
= private snap.
We submit, therefore, as simple
business proposition, that men wto
hays no higher conception of pubic
Office and Official duty. no broader bust
ess views than to run city
hopelessiy In debt for the small
personal gain of few, should not be
allowed to name or elect for business
community the financial agents to
transact the public business of all the
people.

In parts of KENTUCKY they have Q
way, In announcing for county Offices,
of announcing their deputies az well.
For instance, we read in Paris, KY,
paper, the following: "We are
authorized to announce e. P. Clarke
as candidate for Sheriff of Boubon
county. with Albert 3. Thompson and
VIM. F. Talbot as deputies, subject to
the action of the Demos party. -
And ore Harvey Hibler announces his
candidacy for the same Office, with
Brutus J. Clay, Jr., and James Burke
as deputies. 1t is not a bad idea. 1t
oompels an Office seeker to show his
slate to the public. and in that way
helps to forecast the character of the
administration. Besides, it puts q
check upon double dealing. and
prevents man from promising one
office to several men. It was currently
rumored at the time that about forty
men were promised a pollceman's Job,
''endurln' of the last campaign.

The sophomore hazed the freshmen
at Vanderbilt, and correspondents to
the Nashville newspapers are trying to
shame the sophomores from doing so any
more. What Vanderbilt needs is a
faculty that will not permit hazing.
If they had the nerve to expel every
rowdy engaged in the recent hazing, that
would settle the question for years to
come. The trouble with all the Univer-
sites is lack of moral influence upon
their students. To the degree that very
many people believe that as many boys
are hurt as there are those who are
helped, by college experience.

Another Of Canon City's very successful

life Of the City is the Wednesday Musical, dat

objects are to develop musical talent and stimu-

especially invited by the club to hold member

Rubin Goldmark and Edward Baxter Berry.
Some of the finest musicians Canon people
have had the pleasure of hearing have appear
ed under the auspices of this club. 1t has
given several benefit concerts, presented
number Of volumes of musical literature to the
public library, and has accumulated fund for
the decoration of the Assembly room of the
new High School building. The study has
been ancient and modern composers with
musical illustrations from their works given at
the weekly meetings.

Canon City is, and may be justly proud
of her Womens Clubs for they rank well with
any others of their years and numbers. BY
virtue of age, the Friends in Council stands at
the head Organized in 1888, with twenty
FIVE members, every year it has done better
work, its scope has widened and its influence
been strengthened. Its members love to call
it sHistory Club although it is not limited
to any branch of study, and have read Mot
ley's histories of the Dutch Republic and the
United Netherlands, Green's History of the
English People, Guizot's France, Rambaud's
Russia Prescott's Mexico, Blaikes History of
the Bible, and Others
There are two facts of which the Erie nds
in Council are very proud-it was the first
club in Colorado to send out travelling libraries
and the first to sign the Constitution of the
State Federation of Womens Clubs For
several years the club was limited to twenty
five members, the more conservative reasoning
that better and thorough work could
thus be accomplished, but with their years
their views have broadened, and in the spirit of
"Not what we give, but what we SHARE" they
have opened their doors to double the original
number, and in all probability some time the
latch string will be always out to any who may
desire to enter.
From among their charter members they
have given president, corresponding secretary
and auditor to the State Federation.
Its practical work is school room decora-
ton and travelling Libraries
The Alliance Club was organized in 8o3

its present number. 1t holds weekly mee6ngs
