Tho Enterprise has been kceping its
car 70 the to the ground for several days
past. tying to learn wha. the poopla arc
going 70 do in the matter of selecting a
good executive head and administrative
board Tor the management Of tho eity's
SfTairs FOR the coming year. Only about
three weeks now remain in which to can
vas the question and settle upon the mon
to be submitted for tho approval Of the
voters.
Tho Office Of mayor is tho moro i'm
portant ono for tho reason that the kind
of mayor we have determines largely the
kind OF council. for the mayor is or may
be the leader Of the whole body as to the
policy that s pursued in city business, OK
eept it be policy Of small personal in
terosts and Of general public Indifference.
We boast ourselves on our democracy in
this land, and it is a good thing in its way.
but 1t is the autocracy Of strong person.
ality in few men that lifts US out of ruts
and points tho way to better conditions
IN the nation and in the municipal com
munity. For forms of government lot
fools contest. That which is best ad-
ministe-ed is best" So it becomes a ques-
ton of the right kind Of an autoorat when
wo want things done. Rocky Ford, Just
at the present point in her history, par
tioularly needs a good man for mayor.
Not man who would like to have the
honor OF being mayor, but man who
will do honor to the office by being an in
terosted and efficient executive. We
want a man who is in such sympathy
with our anti-saloon policy as will ensure
the enforcement of the law with the same
energy with which it has been enforced
the past four years. This if for no other
reason than the universally conceded one
that badly enforced prohibition is worse
than no prohibition at all. But impor-
tant as our prohibition policy is taken to
be it is not the be all and end all of our
municipal existence. We want man of
good business ability and judgment-one
who will not lose sight of the city's A.
nanoial interests in an overweening in
terest for what he takes to be its moral
salvation. We want also man who will
be alert to the constant danger of oity's
appointive offices becoming the shelving
ground of class Of men who are ircap-
able of holding positions in competition
