in The PUBLIC EYE
BOSS CLARK, man OF READY
RESOLUTIONS.
First of a Series of Pen and Ink Char
aCter Sketches of Men Taking
Part in the Carnegie Library Con-
trOverSy. Leader of the OppOSi-
tiOn and His Methods.

Boss Clark, the recognized leader OF
the opposition TO the movement to secure
a free public library for Aberdeen, is
known as the man Of ready resolutions. {"
1t is rarely Mr.. Clark attends meeting
OF any kind without resolution or two
in his pocket to spring il the moment ap-
pears auspicious. The latest illustration
of his methods was given in the Carnegie
library resolution he worked through the
executive committee OF the chamber OF
commerce. and later made it do duty in
the city council for the purpose of side
tracking the Carnegie library PROPOSE
ton.
The executive committee had been
called together for the purpose Of auditing
some accounts and allowing bills. OF its
nine members. seven were present
every one of whom favored the library
gift. When the business of the meeting
was completed, MIR. Clark springs his
ready resolution. The members all stated
their position on the question, but were
persuaded by Clark, in spirit of fair
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1907-12-23

play, to adopt the resolution asking for
the question to be submitted to vote at
the municipal election. The usual course
would have been for the chairman OF the
committee to have forwarded the docu.
ment to the city clerk. but Clark offered
to file it with the clerk personally. This
he did no, do, prefering to spring it on
the council as suddenly as it had gone to
the committee, with the exact result he
anticipated.
Had the executive committee been
notified of the resolution in advance of
the meeting, or had time to scrulinize it,,
that body would scarcely have permitted
Mr.. Clark to place them in the ridiculous
position of asking the council to do some-
thing impossible under the law. Had
the councimen been permitted to ex-
anime the paper they would have dis
covered this weakness in it. and in all
probability would have decided to SUBJ
NIT the question to a SPECIAL election.
An amateur in the resolution line might
have so handled the matter, but Boss
Clark is more experienced. With his
knowledge of the credulity Of the mayor
and council he knew just how to work it..
A most casual examination Of the reso.
lutions would have revealed their in-
sincerity, and the press was excusable in
calling it phoney document. 1t does
not contain word to signify that it was
adopted at a meeting Of the committee,
and is undated, go that it might have
been the individual expression OF some
members of that body for all that can be
cleaned from its reading.
This is not the first time that Boss
Clark has blocked the library by means
OF set of "ready resolutions" Last

Ward BOUNDARIES
new Ward Lines PROPOSED TO
The CITY COUNCIL.
New Lines Arranged In Attempt to
tqualize Ward Population. Puts
East Aberdeen and South Aber.
deem in One Ward. Several Errors
in Proposed Ordinance.

The ward ordinance introduced at the
last meeting of the city council, provides
for the new wards as follows:
First Ward-All of the city lying south
OF the Chehalis river, and that part north
OF said river east OF the Wishkah river
and south of Mcclellan street, extended
east from the Wishkah river to the city
limits, two voting precincts being pro-
vided for.
Second Ward-All that part OF the city
lying east of the Wishkah river north Of
Mcclellan street, and that part lying
east OF the center of E street, and ID
street. to the northern limits.
Third Ward-From the intersection of
E street and the Wishkah river, southor.
ly along the west bank OF the river to
Heron street; thence westerly along
center OF Heron to Fl thence northerly
along II to city limits; thence easterly
along city line to center of D street
thence southerly along D to E, and con-
tinuing along E to place of beginning.
Fourth Ward-Beglnning at intersec.
ton OF Heron street and the west bank
OF the Wishkah river; thence westerly
along Heron to L street; along l. to the
Chehalis river; easterly along said river
to the Wishkah river, and northerly
along west bank OF said river to the place
OF beginning.
. Fifth Ward-Commencing at intersec.
ton OF Heron and H streets; thence
westerly along Heron to l.; northerly
along L to Third; westerly along Third
to Division; northerly on Division to
Cherry street; thence westerly along
Cherry to city limits easterly along
limit line to center of H street, and
southerly along H to place of beginning.
Sixth Ward-Beginningat at intersection
of center of L street and the Chehalis
river; thence northerly along L to Third;
thence westerly along Third to Division;
northerly along Division to Cherry;
westerly along Cherry to city limits,
then southerly along limits to the Che.
halls river, and easterly along said river
to place Of beginning.
Should the ordinance pass in it's pres.
ent form, several errors should be cor.
rected. For instance, in Section 3, the
Second ward is evidently intended, but
it does not say 90. In Section 5, it has
a line running "soUTHERLY" along Heron
from the Wishkah river to L street, and
in Section follows to Chehalis river
WESTERLY" from the west limits to the
Wishkah river. And, in dividing wards
on the Wishkah river, it proceeds from
the banks, leaving the stream itself in no

year similar whereases and resolves were
sprung upon a small meeting of the
Trades Council. and later published as
the unanimous views of union labor.
The writer is reliably informed that had
notice been given that such a matter was
to come up at that meeting, different
reception would have been accorded it.
Union men, particularly those with
homes and families in Aberdeen, are be.
coming weary OF the custom OF the boss
to arrogate to himself the custody Of
their opinions on public matters, and
many of them seek but the opportunity
to dethrone him. They are weary of the
erstwhile humble servant, now turned
dictator.
Another instance of our "ready resolu.
ton" man was presented-as our theatri.
cal friends would say-at meeting of
the chamber OF commerce last May. A
bare quorum OF seven members were
present, when "R. r." Clark bobbed up
with set of resolution denouncing the
business methods Of Cosmopolis cor.
poration, and, in his usual smoothbore
way, :succeeded in securing their adop.
ton. The merit OF those resolutions cuts
no figure. What damage was done by
them was done to the chamber of com.
merce. That body is an Aberdeen insti-
tntion, maintained by Abe rdeen men
and money, and has neither time or dis
pasition to 60 about the country knight
granting seeking to right all the wrongs
the human family is heir to. 1t can find
right in Aberdeen sufficient field for its
energies, and cannot afford to be pre-
sented to the country as the tool OF any
designing demagogue whose ends may
be furthered by Its use, and this act lost
it several valuable members.
1t was the intention to give in this
article short description OF the methods
used by the boss in securing control OF
the unions, and some inside history of
his attempts to control the city council
and officers, but lack of space forbids
until later.

AS to make this change the law pro.


AS to make this change the law pro.
vides that it must be done this m month,
and a meeting q the council lis to be
held Christmas night, for the chief pur-
pose of passing The ordinance. As the
session costs $50. it is doubtful if it is
worth the money.
Changes Of wards should receive con-
sideration from all points, and should
not be done hastily. The idea OF having
the wards ofuniform population is scarce.
practicable, nor required by law. The
change as proposed would probably give
two councilmen to each ward, and pre-.
vent the Fourth and Fifth being appo,-
toned three members each, to which
they would be entitled under the present
boundaries, but, under this change
practically the same territory would
have six councimen, just the same.
1t will be observed that the Fourth
ward as contemplated contains but
twelve city blocks, comprising the busi.
ness district, with its hotel and lodging
house population, and the redlight dis
trict. Just what good object is served in
holding $50 session to give that section
two councilmen is too obscure for the
vision OF the HERALD.
Again. placing East and South Abb
eerdeen in one ward may easily result in
the election OF two councilmen from one
place, leaving the other important manu-.
featuring section without representation.
1t may be said that no party would
nominate two candidates from one of
these places. Perhaps not. But, with
two tickets in the field, it will be readily
seen how it would be possible to elect
one from each ticket who resided on the
same eide OF the river.
To apportion the council among the
wards as they now are in accordance
with the law as to population will make
no difference in the representation from
the territory now covered by the Fourth
and Fifth wards; will insure East and
South Aberdeen each a member, and
