EDITOR HAL.
CITE Is PLEASE.

Sometimes We wonder what Gov Davis has ever done to the editors ot the Forrest City Times that that paper should be SO bitter against him. Aside from its per IsonAl abuse 0t the governor, the Times Is one of the best papers in the state, but on matters pertaining to the governor er his actians, it cant be relied upon at atl.-White County News
 Will the White County News please reproduce Tn it's columns one single item from The Forrest City Times to substantiate the above charge that we cannot be relied upon in matters where the governor is concerned! Governor Davis hss never done anything to the editors of The Times, and we have no prejudice for or against him. From his public and private record we simply believe him to be insincere, . demagogue, and incompetent and unworthy by reason of his low principles, 10 be the Governor or other representative of princely people such as make up the popu- lation of the great commonwealth of Arkansas. We believe he tried to rob the State of sl2, 300 when he tried to sell it the Altheimer farm. This is asufficient reason for opposing him. even if there were not score or more of other req sons. The evidence in the ease was sufficient 10 make a clear ease against him in our mind. aud be- lieving as we dc of this and many other of his public acts, and private acts made public, We would Le re- creant to every sense ot respecta. bility, and grossly outrage our com science it we did otherwise than oppose his election to any office within the gift of sovereign pco. pie. If we have ever misrepre- sented Governor Davis, We do not know it, and NC would gladly make amends If convinced lhai such is the ease However, we are not tearing our shirt over the political situation, and we are al a loss to know what particular itan or items in The Times inspired the White County News to pay us this yelled compliment. We have cer. tainly treated the Governor fairly in publishing his letters along with those of Senator Berry, and hay made no particular efforts so far, either for oragainst him or Senator Berry, except 10 publish the news, and keep our readers posted as to the doings of these two citizens who are asking for the suffrages of the dear "peepul."
 We thank our friend Woods for his good opinion on the side.

4 FEATHER TANE MAYOR.
Short Term Likely to MaEe Chief
Official Tickle.

John D. Crimnins a member Of the Charter Re-
vision Commission. said that short term was
likely to make the Mayor political trimmer IN
stead Of a man of consistent thought and indie
pendent action The question of the Mayors term
was scussed at length by the commission MT
Crimmins said and the strongest argument in favor
of the two years term was that if Mayor We're
eficient he might be reelected; and. If incapable
he could be ousted whereas with four years
term bad administration would linger on IN de-
hance Of public sentiment
Nevertheless" said Mr. Crimmns, II have al
ways favored a four years term. During the HTs1
year Of a two years term the Mayor has not more
than an opportunity to become familiar with the
large situations which face him; during the second
year he becomes much interested and begins 10
realize that he has not time enough to carry out
what he has in mind planned for; so he sets
about to strengthen his position with his party for
a denomination and with the people for a re-elec-
ton He is then likely lose his independence ana
be ready to cater to public clamor, taking one
position to-day and reversing himself tomorrow
The second year of his term he is not the Mayor
he should be. If a Mayor be defeated for renoml-
nation he would probably have some forecast OF II
before the matter Of the budget for the next year
was disposed Of, and for the last two months OF
ShIs term November and December. 1t is most likely
he would become Indifferent to the hnanclaI cohduc'
of his administration. With four years term we
would lrvs reason to expect three years o. good
service from the Mayor, instead OF only part o.

TRUSTEES TO RUN CITY.
Lindenthaps Plan for a Sort of
Municipal Electoral College.

Gustav Lindenthal whom Mayor Low made
Bridge Commissioner. has original plan for
choosing the Mayor. which he believes will free
him from the influence of politicians. Until this
plan can be put into operation. however he favors
four. rather than two. years term for the chief
executive. He said:
nicipal problems of great magnitude requiring sou-
ton largely through agencies and officers appointed
by the Mayor. Two years not sufficient for
maturing important public measures or a public
policy. A longer term will in some measure lessen
this evil. but 1t will not eradicate st. until better
system Of city administration entirely free from
politics. is devised.
What mean by saying until better system Of
city administration, entirely free from politics. IS
devised, is this: 1 think that there should be a
small number OF city trustees (whatever their
name and not over twelve). with overlapping terms.
Four trustees should be elected every years for
term OF six years. Each party. political or non
political in the city. representing not less than a
certain number (say. 0fhand. 5000 of petitioners.
should have the right to nominate two candidates,
of whom only could be voted for. The four
candidates sewing the largest number of votes by
the city at large would be declared elected.
Neither CT the two great political parties could
under this perfectly fair condition elect mora
than one third the number of trustees. All other
elections for city officers should be abolished.
Candidates having to face the electorate of the
city at large would have to be men Of parts and
standing. SaloonkeeperS and the Ike, who are
readily elected to the Board of Aldermen on
election would truly be made race Of the best
men who can be put up by four or more parues.

LONG TERM WOULD AID REFORMS.

John A. Weeks who a member of the As
sembly when the Charter Revision bill was before
the legislature. and who made careful study Of
it's provisions at that time, said he believed that If
Mayor Low had had four years term he would
have turned much OF the opposition against him
into enthusiastic support.
II am IN favor of four years for the Office Of
Mayor" he said, FOR 1 think that it would be
greatly to the interests of good government I be-
lieve much of the disgust and disappointment with
the Low administration would have been changed
to enthusiastic approval if his term had been four
years.
THE duties of the various city departments and
the office Of Mayor cannot be we'll understood or
plans for improvements be carried out and results
obtained in the short space of two years. Indeed.
a Mayor just begins to understand his duties at the
expiration Of that time.

and only when popular wrath is aroused to the

John De Witt Warner. ex-president of the Munich
pal Art Commission. says that if this city could
manage it's affairs he might consider the ques-
ton of lengthening the Mayors term. but because
it is constantly 'fnterfered with from Albany" he
thinks two years long enough. He said:
Had New-YOrk City the power manage it's

body of free citizens numerous and with such
important local interests ours. should think
it an open question whether its Mayor should not

however, a satrapy ruled. misruled and

Mr.. Ely said:
In the administration of the State and national

ress of Public

Lawrence WELLER secretary OF the City Club
made the following statement in regard to the
extension of the Mayors term and that Of the
other chief elective officers from two to four years.
THE present movement for extending the Mayors
term from two to four years originated with the
CITY Club and the bill introduced in the legislature
by Assemblyman Agnew was drawn by the CITY
Club The plan also has the hearty approval of the
Republican County Committee. original action hav
ing been taken by it at the instance of its chair
man. William Halpin.
.ITnder the short term Of two years It IS practi-
cav irnpossibe for the city administration TO plan.
carry out and complete any great public improve
rnent; the administration cannot build even new
school building IN the present term OF office OF two
years It takes longer than that to determine upon
the site prepare plans and have the building COM
pIeted. In similar way 1t Is Impossible TOT an
administration to create small parks or TO estab-
fish public baths to carry on any other needed
and important public improvement.
"The Low administration came into office and
found great lack of school accommodatiOns-due to
the neglect in this regard in the Van Wyck admin
istration. The mass of the people. however. not
finding sufficient school accommodations when Mr..
Low was Mayor. placed the blame upon the Low
administration. Great activity was shown In the
Low administration in seeking 10 remedy this con-
dition Of affairs. Several million dollars were ap-
propriated and the construction Of new school
buildings was authorized. These school buildings.
however could not be finished in that administra-
ton ard the result is that the succeeding admins
tration will receive credit for this work.
Constant changes in OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES two
