TAE cIvIc uNIoN,s WORK.

A new regime Is being introduced
in politics. Candidates for office are
being tested as to their personal 1T
ness and worthiness by citizens or
ganized for such purpose before the
nominating convention is held. This
test Is being applied especially to
those candidates for the law-enforeing
department OF the county government,
namely the prosecuting attorneys
ONCE aud the Justices Of the peace
and police court.
HERETOFORE, any n who could by
hook or crook get a nomination in a
convention OF the dominant party has
been carried into office by force Of .
partisan vote regardless OF fitness,
Capacity, honesty, experience, these
elements OF fitness all gave way be
fore that imperative need OF a straight
party vote, which leaders are wont to
demand OF the rank aud nle.

eulogy pronounced in congress by the

but for that mlsled devotion to party

rather than the good mar on the

The spirit of independent citizen
ship has at last taken form in the
Civic Union, and gives promise OF
good results right at the outset of its
career. If by its efforts, clean, able
and courageous men shall have been
recognized by the party conventions
for the legal and judicial offices, a
long step has been taken toward the
honest, fearless and impartial en-
foroement of law, and toward good
government. We welcome this new
development.-Seattle Mail and

DANGER OF HOTEL FIRES.

Newspapers should be incessant in
their demands that owner of hotel
properties and managers of same ev.
erywhere in the United States, should
provide for the safety of guests from
the awful results of fire.
Every precautionary method that
human ingenuity, has or can be de
vised looking to tina. much needed
~desiratum, should be adopted, and
honorable hotel men should promote
the movement.
Statistics showing the wholesale
(and too frequently Unnecessary loss
Of valuable lives from hotel conia'
grations in this country in the past
twenty-five years, are so appalling
that they almost stagger human ere,
dence.
, We cannot, nay, must not, close ouI
eyes to the fact that an immense
proportion Of these horrible calami
ties are caused by gross negligence
with an almost utter disregard of ever
the ordinary methods of proper pro
lection to hotel guests, aside from
those which the laws afford, ant
should compel.
Writers, familiar with the subject
by wide experience in travel and in
v~estigation, claim that nearly nine
tenths OF these could have been easily
avoided by erecting suitable escapes
and providing fire extinguishers.
