In the rush of other things it is we'll
to remember that we are to have a
municipal election in the near future.
On the third Tuesday in April there
will be a mayor, city treasurer and
four aldermen to be elected. Those
who retire at this time are Mayor
Whitman, City Treasurer T. A. Has
lam, and Aldermen Dodge, Huesgen,
Bjorlie and Mann. Those who hold
over are Halgren and Brainard. We
are informed that in municipal affairs
politics have not been made much of
a factor, and we think that in cities
of this size this is a very wise plan.
What we need at the head of the city
is men who have the city's interests
at heart and who can best manage
them, regardless of politics. At this
time we do not know the inclination
of the retiring members of the official
body relative to reelection. The work
of the past year shows good judgment
on the part of these men who have
shown a willingness to make a sacri-
flee for the best interests Of our city

The WAY 60 the Station.

A party of automobiles was tour
ing through Virginia. An accident to
the car forced them. to- take q train
home. AS they walked down the road
seeking some one from whom they
could inquire their way, they met an
old darky, says the Success Magazine
''Will you kindly direct us 10 the rail-

that has come up, fearlessly and I'M
ceasingly. He has done much for his
own state as well as taking prominent
part in much Of the national legisla-
ton that has been passed. He is now
in position where he is practically
indispensable to our state and it would
be the height of folly and poor judg-
ment to have him retired. This is
the feeling all over the state, and un-
der these circumstances it is easy to
understand why the opposition to him
is fast losing ground.

THE STEEL TRUSTS RECORD,

In spite of bad quarter of a year,
the United States Steel corporation
for 1907 showed the largest profits in
its history, and felt safe in declaring
the usual dividend. Like all other in
dustries it suffered material de-
crease in business during the last few
months of 1907 and started the new
year with largely reduced orders. But
as many mills and factories are re-
Stunning operations the outlook is not
by any means gloomy.

fications, the people will be given. an
opportunity of deciding between a
candidate who has been large part
of the Roosevelt administration, hay
ing assisted in formulating and direct
ing it's policies, and one who has
record as theorist pure and simple,
and as shifting as the sands at the sea
shore. Nor is there much doubt as to
the verdict in a case of this kind. The
American people will be sure to pre-
fer the sterling article to one gilded
over for the occasion. Mr.. Bryan's
masquerade is sure to fool no one.

barrassed the markets Of the world, In
general. and, which was keenly felt
In Mexico during the past few months,
as having passed. and said that Mexico
is entering upon a broader field OF ac-
tivity in all lines.
Referring to the merger OF the Ma
tional and Central railroads, he char
acterlzed It as an accomplishment OF
which Mexico should be proud.
The occasion OF the delivery OF the
message was made notable by a large
assembly. All OF the balconies were
crowded with spectators, and the
chamber presented lively scene. The
part OF the message which referred
- the granting OF coallng station to
the United States ct Magdalena bay
was listened to with the greatest at
ention. On this subject which OF late
has been widely commented upon by
the radical press. the message said:N.
1.-THE government of the United
Slater asked permission to station the
two coaling vessels destined for the
service OF the American hotilla on the
Pacific, In the waters of Magdalena
bay, for a period OF Ave years.
"In accordance with the constitution
It was presented to the senate, and
the concession was limited to term
Of three years., and on the basis Of
strict reciprocity with Mexico. It was
considered that under such conditions
the republic would suffer no loss what
ever by giving a service to a friendly
nation which obtains an advantage
which on occasions may serve as use
full. The opinion Of the senate coin
cided with that Of the executive and
the permission was delivered on the
terms stated"
Speaking Of arbitration with the
United States, the president says:
ALSO with the government of Wash
ington we are arranging through our
ambassador the celebration Of treaty
of arbitration which will be submitted
in due time to the senate. The d.
verse controversies that have arisen
as Is natural between that government
and Mexico owing to constant relations
OF all classes, have been settled In q
most satisfactory and amlcable man
ner."

San Francisco, Apr. Abraham
Ruef, the central figure in the bribery
graft prosecution whose technical
skirmishes to avoid trial, has kept two
courts occupied for two months sus.
tanned three adverse rulings Wednes-
day, one in the superior and two In
the appellate court. Judge Maurice 7.
Dooling denied the motion Of Ruefs
counsel for a transfer Of the case to
another department. The district
court Of appeals denied Ruef's petition
for writ Of prohibition restraining
Judge Dooling from proceeding with
the trial and also refused his applica-
ton for writ of mandate compelling
Judge Dooling to transfer the case to
another department Of the superior
court.
