have been confined almost exclusively
to its remarkable properties as an

.pending appeal to the court of ap-
peals Now, as we are informed, that
may be two years. The council board
followed the city solicitors advice.
Is 1t any wonder that citizens are
disguised with our present form OF
government in American municipali-
ties? Is II any wonder that the COM
mission system. proven 50 satisfac-
tory the first year in Des Moines,
Iowa, is attracting attention? Think
of a few peanut politicians running
a city in debt for a sos Office. and
costing the tax payers thousands OF
dollars, for which they will get not
one cent return in Improvements
To come back to the specific sub
iect of the license inspector contro-
yersy. The Sun makes the prediction,
that the case never will go before the
court of appeals, and that there is no
OF ever taking the case to
the court of appeals; but that the
whole purpose is to prevent the cpi-
lection Of licenses and Greats a de-
icit this year.
In that event there is just one
hing - do. Send policemen out

WHAT LITTLE POLITICIANS COST
A BIG CITY.

Last night the lower board OF the
general council met and allowed sal
aries for the month OF March. Be
sides that, on recommendation Of the
city solicitor, they postponed action
on the ordinance. which Is designed
to rid the city OF vicious and I'M
claimed ours before the hot months
come, and on motion of the city so
lidtor hung up the license inspectors
salary indefinitely thus costing The
city thousands OF dollars revenue.
We are not in the least concerned
about the controversy between. Mr..
Hicks and Mr. Hubbard over the
ONCE OF city license inspector; hit
we are concerned about the city's
finances. Every cent OF estimated
revenue IS apportionei. and. because
the general council refused TO pay a
salary to a license inspector. the city
has lost, perhaps. $4,000 already. OF
course. there is only one Official,
whose records are involved in the
situation. That is the city treasurer.
He does not wish TO go through his
first ysar with p bad record for col
leetions, and yet few puscillanimous
councilmen have already given him
one bad month.
The city solicitor advised, after the
finance committee had recommended

In Louisville they have heard a

surely run for county court clerk,

to be a candidate for police judge.

This Information was obtained not
from the two Eskimo toys. but from
the six men who returned and from

After sleeping at the camp where
the last two Eskimos turned back, DR..
Cook and the two toys went in a

with two sledges and twenty-odd dogs,

countered rough ice and a lead of open
water. They did not enter this rough
ice, nor c. oss the lead, but turned
westward or southwestward a short
distance and returned to He:berg Land

turned back.
