THE LICENSE QUESTION.

The license question will be, in all
probability, one of the knottiest
problems to solve by the new Board
of Affairs. They are the only II.
ccnsc court and have full power to
grant, or revoke any license at any
time. There is a legal question of
some interest to be considered and
that is do licenses granted by the old
council hold for a year or does the
new Board of Affairs have to grant
licenses for the remainder Of the II
ccnse Year,. Some contend that the
license granted by the council will
hold good unless revoked, while 9TH
crs say that The licenses granted by
the council can liye- no longer than
the term:o of the council, and that ex-
plriug lundcr the provisions Of the
charter on January first will ter
inmate all licenses. Which conteD.
ton is right we are Unable to say but

not be discouraged before they az

child's play in handling the great
business affairs Of this city. They
are virtually obligated to give their
entire time to Tie city. The new
charter provides that they must keep
public offices at the city hall where
they may be consulted during stat.

THANKSGIVING

y Let us be thankful, you and l.
when hcdgcd with trials we did not
despair
When charged with sorrows We
bore them with love and patience
When touched with hunger, there
came a morscl. and when our lips
we're dry there was Il kindly dew;
That resolution was stronger with
in than temptation, without; that pa
lience held against the soreness OF
trouble, and that the sense OF dut%
kept snug the strings Of the heart
And If fame and fortune did no;
wait upon us in the year that Is by,
there is still a cheer in the Spring Of
Hope. They may rulIo% this year OF
next.
But II not then nor thereafter
then the burden Of them and thelf
care will not Cypress you and me.

CAN BE THEIR OWN BOSS.

CAN BE THEIR OWN BOSS.
The four members of the Board Of
Affairs, whoever they may be, should
80 into office without the necessity
OF promising any appointive office to
anybody. They owe nobody anything
for their nominations except tho good
citizens who took sufficient interest
in the ward and city conventions to
20 out and nominate them. The
practice. of rewarding a lot OF hang
olson and ward heelcrs will most
likely be broken up after the ttrst
day of January. It is certainly a
VERY bad practice to employ people at
the expense of the tax payers OF the
city as payment for some petty po-
Wical service rendered at the con-
Mentions or at the polls. 1t is to be
Hoped shat the four commissioners
to be elected next month will go into
office without any Cntangling al
liances, free to act upon their own
Best Judgment, and only obligated to
