COMING CITY ELECTION.

is highly probable that the Republicans will
y win the next city election in Wilmington. The
majority of the people arc probably convinced by
this time that the Democrats have lost their op-
portunty to make a splendid showing and thus
entrench themselves in power
But if the Republicans win, their victory should
mean more than mere turning over from one
political machine to the other There is a splendid
chance for the Republicans TO nominate a good
strong candidate for Mayor, one who has ideas
above that of merely partisan administration of
the affairs Of the city and the awarding of places
TO faithful henchmen.
In the coming campaign for the nomination
every man who aspires to be Mayor should have
fair deal. The leaders of the party should keep
hands off
The Journal has no particular candidate in mind
but il would like to see four or five good men
enter THE and at the least be tentatively con-
sidered The Independent vote in the city is in
creasing year by year. and the victory at the COM
ing election depends largely on the personality
of the candidate for Mayor and the personality Of
the candidates for other city Offices
The people are coming to look upon the city as
big corporation for business Just as a private
corporation The object of city government is to
give efficient and economical administration
of affairs that there shall be no waste and no
extravaganza. Even under the present partisan
system it is possible that Wilmington can make
progress If man is chosen Mayor who does not
devote more of his time 10 playing politics than
TO directing the city government along efficient
and proper lines.
The people are coming to see the folly Of poor
municipal government What is mose absurd than
the idea that heavy property owners ana tax pay
ers should rest content to give up large sums OF
money in taxation, this money to be used bv
manipuators in playing politics. which means
building up machines and providing jobs for
henchmen who are sometimes incompetents and
persons who are hunting for soft snaps" or are
infatuated with the desire TO live off the city
Every cent wastefully used means so much
money lost which could be devoted TO beautifvinp
the city and to making substantial improvements
that all could enjoy The coming election. we
fancy, will be crucial point in the city affairs
1t is time for big minded action, not for little

PUBLIC INDIFFERENCE.

PEAKlNG in Birmingham, Ala, the other
~ days, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt declared for
the commission form of city government He
congratulated the citizens on the fact that Bir-
mingham is the first city of its size to make the
experiment of the commission plan.
The Colonel added word Of advice which he
said was based upon an active experience of
thirty years in politics. He said Don't you
ever imagine that you can invent any patent sys-
tenn OF government which will work by itself if
you do not act the part of good citizens
That bit of counsel is the chief point to be re.
membered when discussing municipal affairs or
any other kind of governmental matters Mr.
Bonaparte brought it out clearly in his address
before the Civic Association of Wilmington and
so did Mr.. Woodruff. The proper course is to
arouse the interest OF citizens, TO overcome in
difference. All the various schemes of reform.
such as the initiative and referendum. the com
mission form of government or any other kind of
reform, amount to nothing unless the citizens show
an active and intelligent interest in public affairs.
Indifference is the principal cause of bad govern
ment

up and down in these suds until the

REYENUE COMMISSION.

HE COMMISSION ON STATE REVENUE
II AND TAXATION presented its report to the
Legislature some time ago making various recon-

of the State Bills we're prepared carrying out
these recommendations, but the bills seem to have
been pgeon-hoed.
All the measures that the outcome of the
report OF the commission should be promptly con-
sidered
The commission has been at considerable ex-
pense to the State and the commissioners have
given much study to the subject of taxation 1t
is therefore proper that their recommendations
be given serious attention. IL was proposed that
the commission should be continued for two more
years but that would be useless unless the recon-
mendations are acted upon by the Legislature
IL may he that those who would be affected bv
the suggested increase in taxation are exertinp

the recommendations of the commission. But at
any rate the bills that have been introduced bear
ing on the suggestions of the commission should
not be left until the final rush in the closing hours
