A veteran in the service Of the Guy
ana raw recruit will represent
the Third Ward when the next council

baon in the service of the city and
was elected on the Biddle ticket TWO
wears ago. He has a strong personal
following For a long number OF
wears he has been in the mercantlie
business in Columbia and is known to
bo one of the most accommodating
agreeable and capable merchants that
The town has ever known. Although
II is said that he made no canvass and
would personally have preferred de-
foat TO election his majority was
very fiattering one.
Toe Anderson is merchant oi
South Columbia. Many believed that
he would lead the ticket. II is
tribute to his character that during all
the hitter ante-election struggle MOI
one word was ever said to his DIS
credit He is prominent in the Pres
hvterian church, is married man
!; hut has no children. Even those VINO
voted against him concede the nigh
character of Mr.. Anderson.

majority of the present Board have
been reelected so the people are prac-
tically certain that there will be no
change in the policies that have char
acterized the Biddle administration
during the past two years. The two
new members, McAllister and Ander'
son are business men of experience
and gentlemen of high character.
A remarkable fact in connection
with the election is that the three
members of the old Board who voted
against the confirmation of John Lat
ta's nomination to be City Marshal
were elected and together with them
Mavor Biddle who made the nominal
ton. An interesting query: DO the
people of Columbia approve Latta 5
appointment? The election of Bidole
would seem to prove that they 40.
Rut the election of the three Aldermen
who defeated the nomination, on the
other hand. indicates that the nomina-
tion did not meet with popular ap-
prevail.
Mayor Biddle is about fifty years OF
age. For many years he has been
one of the leading physicians OF the
CITY. He is active in church work
being Junior Warden OF ST. Peter 5
church and Superintendent of the Sun
dav School of that church. He is also
nrominent in secret societies. There
are few men in Columbia who have
a wider circle of personal friends than
Mavor Biddle. Two years ago he de-
feated his recent opponent by vote
of nearly two to one. His wonderful
hold on the people was demonstrated
nv the fact that he led his ticket, re-
ceiving nearly twenty-five more votes
than Joe Dedman, who was next. Inc
MAYORS administration has been pro-
eressiye. During the past two years
much has been done to improve the
appearance of the city. His trlends
predict that with a Board that is al
most entirely sympathetic that MS
next administration will be one OF the
most brilliant in the history of the
city.

THE CITY POLICE
MAY BE PLACED
UNDER CIVIL SERVICE
NEW ADMINISTRATION WILL
PROBABLY RE-oRGANlZE
THE DEPARTMENT.
TAKEN OUT OF POLITICS
Offices of City Marshal And street
overseer May Part Company
UncoIIected Fines Need Looking

According to information believed
TO he correct, the new city adm1nistra-
ton, shortly after being sworn IN, Will
reorganize the police department
along better and more modern INES
1t is proposed to place the police I'M
dor civil service, and to have their
iobs depend upon the faithful dis
charge of their duties instead OF upon
political pull Under the present sys-
fem the policeman counts on keeping
his official head just as long as MS
friends are in power, and expects 10
he discharged from the service the
moment the tide of fortune turns.
This necessarily makes the policeman
en- important political factor, anu
,bars is no doubt that the incentive
to hold or secure positions upon the
nolice force has much to do with the
political activity of number OF per-
sons during each campaign. In prac-
ticallv all of the large cities OF the
country making any claim to up-to-
dateness the police enjoy the tenure
Of office SO long as their work is up
to requirements.
1t is also probable the offices OF city
marshal and street overseer VIII De
held by two men instead OF one. IL
is recognized that one man cannot
successfully fill two places. 1t is fur-
Their recognized that the street WORK
should be in the hands of an expert
Then there is the matter of uncollect
ed fines. The city at present IS not
collecting one half the money from
fines that was formerly collected, ano
this condition of affairs is attributed
to the fact that the marshal does moi
have time to give the matter proper
attention.
