they going to allow childish hearts

Spokane are taking some of the
children. the charitable societies
are taking some. the fair, manage

PUBLIC OFFICIALS MUST KEEP
AWAY FROM DRINK.

That long suffering parsonage, the
public official has now been kicked
from another direction The Iowa
supreme court has handed down a de-
cision unfolding what Is known as the
Carson removal law, which provides
that public officials may be removed
for intoxicatiOn. The courts decision
makes It exceedingly dangerous for a
public official to drink, even to drop
into some convenient place with a
friend and take a small nip. The
court holds that the matter of drink
ing goes to a mans qualification for
office, and that even though this habit
Is an issue in the election and the peo-
pie decide for him. he can still be
ousted for this very fault
Folks who are alarmed at the spread
OF the prohibition wave would do well
to take cognizance Of this new and
strange doctrine that threatens to
make all public officials refrain from
''Iikker."

THE GOOD SIDE OF THE
WARD POLITICIAN

A ward politician Of Kansas City,
No, released few days ago title to a
fortune OF $4,000 to which he had
rightf1l claim in order that It might
90 to the children Of a friend who was
killed in an accident. The Kansas
CITY Journal, speaking Of the sacrifice
as an unusually noble thing, says:
Mike Ross is more than a ward
politician. One does not have TO in
dorse his politics TO commend the
nobility Of his friendship nobility
emplar TO a great many people who
would not so willingly surrender all
claim 10 $4,000 when the law sub
Stimulated that claim IN spirit and in
letter.
Reference TO a man as a ward
politician" does not signify always by
any means shat he is not a man with
a good heart, OF that he is not as capa-
bic of doing a good action as is any
body else. Many so-ealled ward pOliti-
clans are self-sacri1cing in aid of their
friends, kind to their families, ready
to stand by their word to the last, liv-
ing what they think Is decent life
Many of then are attractive person
aGties, fuIl-blooded fellows, with good
hearts One may feel 1t a public duty
to denounce the business Of the ward
politician and his code OF ethics. while
acknowledging that he has good per
sonal qualities.
Some Of them think it all right to
get contracts at a sitter price than
they should be let, If they can do It.
Others take money for their political
influence Still Others VIII sell their
votes without believing they sc doing
anything particularly heinous. They
can't get the point Of view that be-
traying the public IS as bad as betray-
ing a friend Few Of them have the

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
TAKES IMPORTANT STEP.
Washington is waking up

Washington Is waking up
II might, perhaps, be more proper to
say Washington has walked up and Is
growing more awake every day For
years and decades after It's foundation
Washington was a city content TO rest
upon its laurels as the National Capt.
tai, to be the plaything of Congress,
and the regret OF loyal citizens visit
ing here In every way except civic
spirit and pride Washington has long
since walked up
In the resolution, which was passed
by the Chamber OF Commerce last
Tuesday night, appointing a committee
70 devise methods for taking the pub
lie pulse on matters OF municipal in
terest, can be seen another step in the
direction of civic awakening
No matter what the government Of
the city may be, whether by commits
sion, by governor, OF by Congressional
committee; no matter whether Wash
ingtOn has suffrage OF not, there Is no
reason why an interest IN civic affairs
by every resident citizen should not
accomplish everything IN the way Of
civic advancement and improvement
The plan OF the Chamber of Com
merce Is merely a means Of finding out
public sentiment on public questions,
in order to take such steps as may
seem most feasible for accomplishing
the crystallization Of the public desire
Whatever the government OF the
city, no citizen need worry that White

OBSERVANCE OF LENT IS
MORE GENERAL.

Observation of Lent, which began yes
terday, Is much more general than it was
a few years ago, when It marked only
the peHitential season Of the Catholic
church, preceding the impressive fes-
tival Of Easter and the risen Christ.
But for religious as well as for other
reasons Lent has become a season re-
garded as one, If not for meditation,
self-sacrifiee, and attention to religious
duties, at least as one which calls for
more or less restraint In the social
world, If the round of gsyeties does not
cease, the pace notably sIackens, the
devotees Of fashion taking advantage
of the time TO rest from dissipation
More and more it has become the rule
even for the undevOut, though they
may not put on saekcloth and ashes.
to give some heed TO this period which
the church sets aside for prayer and
fasting As furnishing an occasion for
abstinence IN both eating and drinking
for the formation Of good resolutions
and the cultivation OF good habits,
Lent has come to have a wider sig
nificance among the non-churchgoing
public than is generally supposed.
