be browbeaten and made to feel very
uncomfortable before the indignation
of this party whose salary he pays
IN part every time the tax collector
calls. All public servants are not
so constituted, but those who real
lie the position they occupy and APP

icism are in the minority.
Feeling then as the average citi-
zen, does about the attitude of pub

newspaper goes directly to the party
at whom the complaint is leveled,
and, If the situation seems to justi-
fly it, calls public attention thereto
by publishing the facts as they may
be revealed. The newspaper bears
all the attendant grief; and there
is usually plenty of it.
While the editors of the country
do not mind the performance Zone
might say continuous performance
of such duties, 1T has no doubt oc-
CURED to many of them that the
citizen does not do his full share
in the premises. Why should he
not go to the offending official and
tell him face to face what he thinks
of the manner in which that particu-
lar business is being conducted? Why
should he not lend active co-opera-
ton to newspaper efforts instead of
applying to them the absent treat
ment of skim-milk sympathy? Why
should he not stand up to the
rack just as the newspaper does?
There is no reason why he should
not; and when the time comes that
the citizen understands that he is
one of the body that is master he
may no longer hesitate to assume
his rightful position. His activities
will minimize trivial and unreason-
able complaints and strengthen the
hands of agencies battling against
real evils.
There are altogether too many

HusINEss-LlkE METHODS.

The administration of the present
mayor and the members of the city
council is being conducted along
lines that appeal to the average cit
izen as most advisable and praise
worthy. The council has acted with
caution and elaboration. There
have been no missteps traceable to
hasty action or lack of forethought.
OF the several important propositions
brought before the city fathers dur
ing the present administration prac-
tically all of them have been treat.
ed in fair, considerate and bust
ness-like manner.
Every bold stand breeds enemies
for the time being. Opposition, now
adays, seems to be the life of life
itself and while certain conclusions
of the city council may be criticiz-
ed from some quarters it is a graf
flying fact to know that the conduct
of the municipal affairs under the
present mayor and council is meet
ing with the approval of majority
of the towns citizens.
Other municipalities have felt. and
are feeling now, the sting of COM
mercial depression or the power of
some corporation, brought on by
thoughtless legislation authorized by
careless city officials Grangeville's
council Is trying to avoid such pit.
falls and is earnestly striving to
make the city a social and CONNER
cial factor among the towns of the
northwest.
Council members, generally, have
thankless task and in many in,
stances the remuneration is even less
than that. While there are some
cases where criticism is justifiable
teh present council has done many
things that will be of great benefit
to the town.

WILL HAVE BIG PARK.

The fact that the United States
and Canada are engaged in a coop
erative scheme for the establishment
of an international park of about s.
900 square miles in extent, along the
backbone of the continent in the two
countries, was developed in the sen
ate recently. 1t came to the surface
in connection with the consideration
of bill looking to the creation of
the Glacier National Park" in north
ern Montana. 1t was stated that ne
gotiations were in progress looking tc
the establishment of a similar park
ON the Canadian side of the interna-
tional line. which, 1t is intended
shall connect with the proposed
American reservation.

WHEN LIGHT IS TURNED ON.

No one pleads guilty If there is
chance OF securing an acquittal.
No public esrvant will admit he is in
error If there is chance to wiggle
out. That Is only one of the reas-
ons why the newspapers that have
teh courage to expose wrong doing
and negligence are not popular with
those who must wear the shoes of
criticism or condemnation. When
the light is turned on 1t brings
things out all too prominently to
suit those who prefer darkness and
secrecy; and their actions, as the
rays fall upon them and their OPP
erations, constitute a fairly good in
dication in the public mind of their
guilt or innocence.
The tendency to cover up, to
screen, to keep out the public, has
grown to an extent that candid stu
dents see in it a menace. The con
ditions have become such that there
is often bitter resentment of kid
gloved criticism of those who are
serving the public and being paid
by the public. No longer is the
servant the servant He would be
the master. He would inform the
real master when he makes Inquiry
to go about his business.
This disposition has become 81
