THE taxpayers of some cities can
be sci down as an "easy" lot of peo-
pie. They delegate to number Of
men, who are called the city council,
the ri ,ht to transact their business
and to spend their money. In view
of the important duties and grave re-
sponsibiles OF the men who COM
pose these city councils it would seem
that the utmost care should be taken
in their selection. The people
should demand that their aldermen
and cDuncilmen shonld be the very
pick and flower of the city y'smanhood.

that less than three months must re-

that 10 worlds fair or similar under

little mention or advertising through
