WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
The Mayors Salary.
% the Editor of The Journal.

To the Editor of The Journal.
Referring to the article in your Satur-
day paper entitled Likely to Cut Mayors
Salary" let me make this statement and
request you to publish the same:
When the act was passed increasing the
salaries Of the city officials, took this
position, which / still hold, viz, that it
is no part of the duties Of any one hold
cepting possibly the city attorney, to de-
eide as to the legality Of any law passed
by the legislature.
. It is very simple matter to get court
decisions, should any one care to make
the test hold law to be good until de-
:clared by proper tribunal to be other
wise.
The law referred to, as will be noticed
by any one who cares to examine the
same, does not require that / have a
warrant signed by the city controller, be-
fore paying the city officials. A pay roll
properly approved is sufficient authority.
The subject was revived at the present
time, I presume, from the fact that
insisted upon warrants being drawn for
the pay rolls, same as in all other de-
partments. I supposed, naturally. that this
had been done, and was surprised to find
differently
The fact that the controller had stated
that he would not sign these warrants
was not good reason for their not being
issued and signed by the mayor and city
clerk. This done, the matter is brought
regularly to the city controller, and in the
best possible shape to test the law by a
rnandamus, should he still refuse to sign
them.
It Is mistake that refuse to continue
to pay the increased salaries, unless war
rants are signed by the controller.
stated that should refuse unless war
rants were made and signed by the mayor
and city clerk &C. s. Hubert,

4 Mr.. Wood, the successful advertise
ing manager Of the Metropolitan
Magazine, says:
Il have for some years been close
and ardent student of advertising in
all of its forms. While my particular
work in the advertising line has lain
on the side Of magazines, I know the
value Of other forms Of advertising,
having been upon that side of the
fence which requires a man to study
Ways and means and respective values.
IT believe that the men who are
most valua Bile to the advertising bust
ness are those who work without the
dependence of good fellowship and
conviviality, and those who have stu
died general trade conditions and
merchandising thoroughly, and who
simply convince their prospective Gus
toners with good sound logical argu-
ments.
II believe that friendship should be
a, result Of good business dealing,
rather than business dealing a result
Of friendship. Combine this idea with
earnest and persistent work, and you
have my impression Of the real mis-
sion Of an advertising man.
Mr.. Wood Is avery active supporter
Of all broad lines of advertising. He
is a member of the Sphinx Club, the
International Federation Of Advertis-
ing Interests and almost every other
organization that means a forward
movement in publicity matters.

The Public and the Strike.

OF all the big illegal trusts. the beef
trust Is most offensive to the public,
and for that reason public sympathy
is naturally, almost inevitably. with,
the employees in the packinghouse,
strike. For years the trust has fixed
the prices Of meat and of cattle. It
has regulated its wagescale with no
reference to the cost Of the raw ma
terial. 1t has plundered the farmer
on the one side and the public on the
other, and its employees have more
than once been compelled to resort
to the strike in order to secure a liv-
ing wage. This trust, like all of it's
ilk. is thoroly obnoxious. and the
hope is almost universal that the
president may be able, as the result
of the prosecution now under way, to
bring it to book.
AS for the striking employees, pop
ular approval will be theirs just as
long as they keep we'll within the
confines of law and order. Their de-
nland that their wages shall not be
reduced while the product Of their
ieepSA iAoSo VII SiAC ollC AAc1llo cl11o SiAS
price Of the raw material falls on the
other, seems fair. But the day of the
violent strike is happily passing. No
just cause can ever be permanently
helped by injustice. Right ceases to
be right when it allies itself with
| wrong. The packinghouse employees
have now an opportunity to show the
stuff they are made Of. It is devoutly
to be hoped that their conduct will
be such as to deserve public approval
but there is reason today to fear that
they may not succeed.

Reciprocity Enthusiasm in Mas
sachusetts.

While the Minnesota branch of the
National Reciprocity League has
deemed 1t wise to suspend activity
during the presidential election year,
the New England league Is now put
ting forth more vigorous efforts than
ever. 1t seems to be the pur'p ose OF
this league to bring out such q mani
festation of the feeling of the rank
and file of the republican voters Of
MASSACHUSETTS, that the unsatisfactory
declaration of the republican state
convention on the subject Of recipro
city shall be shown to be misrepre-
sentative of the opinion of the party
in Massachusetts,.
So great is the interest in this effort
to show that the party leaders mis-
represent the rank and file that it has
been found desirable to increase the
committee of 100 charged with the
work to committee Of 200. The
Boston Herald says Of the work:
The movement in behalf Of Canadian
reciprocity, so strongly urged before the

sion by the merchants of Boston, has de-

The committee of 200 is circulating
for the signatures of republicans a
petition which declares in favor Of the
establishment of reciprocal trade re-
lations with other countries and
especially with Canada and New

asserts, such relations should not be

! Was It Only a Joke?

At the time of the state conven-
ton T h e J ournal gave an ac-
count of how the antimerger plank
in the platform was forced on the
committee by the firm stand of two
or three members who were opposed
to Mr.. Dunn's nomination, and deter
mined that the party should be con-
sistent with it's stand in 1902 in the.
platform If not in the candidate.
No one. pretended to- think that
this plank represented the views Of
the candidate, or of the leaders of
the victorious faction, but the public
was hardly prepared for an open re-
pudiation from the manager of Mr..
Dunn's campaign. 1t was a; surprise
and shock to many republicans when
Mr.. Heatwole sought to nullify the
Northfield News that, Sin the light
of subsequent events, the paragraph
in question could not be regarded as
anything but ironical."
The logic of the News cannot be
disputed. The convention certainly
did nothing else that would indicate
sympathy WITH the outgoing state adj
eministration or its policies. But 1T
was supposed that, for appearances
sake, this one souvenir of the tri-
umphant campaign Of 1902 would be
allowed to stand. Now the manager
of Mr.. Dunn's preconvention cam
paign disnisses the whole matter as
one of the conventions jokes. What
better proof is wanted Of the real
meaning Of the convention result?
The dullest mind would hardly ask
| for a more convincing tip.
| 1t is no wonder that this cavalier
| treatment of the antimerger plank
has caused disturbance among loyal
repu blicans, shown by such utterances
as the following from the Morris
Tribune:
| If this is the way Bob Dunn and his
friends are going to repudiate the plat
form and the last republican administra-
| tion they will have trouble galore. Many
good republicans are standing by the
party because of the platform, but If
Iyou take away the platform, where are
| they?

they say. there's way around that.
In fact. two methods are under considera-

next thing would be a direct attack on

Ihaargesj would be preferred against Full
slsrton On which hes would be removed
from his place on the board. and thus
deprived Of the right to serve as execu-
tive agent. Under the law the executive
agent must be a member of the board
and he serves during the pleasure Of

Elerton is not subject to removal by the
governor. The only way to get him would
be to drive him off the board.
/ Captain William Bird of ,Fairmont is
the only member Of the board who retires
next year.
Fullerton was a. Collins man before
the convention. He was formerly a great
friend of Dunn's, but they fell out be-
cause Fullerton declined to keep a subor-
dinate at Dunn's orders and they have
been industriously knocking each other
ever since. The legislative investigation
of Fullerton's office at the last session
was admittedly inspired by Dunn, and
