about which much has beer
written, what possible gain te
the city could come by having
either or both of the old par.
ties put up a ticket for the
coming spring election? Would
an officer elected as a republi.
can or as a democrat serve the
city any better because he was
elected on a ticket headed
democrat" or republican"
What possible difference
could it make to him, in the
discharge Of his duties as q
municipal officer, whether the
great principals of one or the
other political party prevailed!
Would his duties as an officer
be any different by reason of
his having been elected as a
democrat, republican or only as
a private citizen?
1t appears to me that the
principal issue in Missouri Val
ley municipal aft airs, is, what
is to the best interests of Mis-
souri, Valley, not what political
party should control it.
A councilman elected as q
democrat is expected, by those
who elected him as such. to
cast his vote, on election of
subordinate city officers, for a
democrat. A mayor elected as
a republican is expected to ap-
point officers to serve under
from his political party. o.
the other hand a mayor or a
councilman free from that EN-
barrassment, can elect or APP
point officers whose only quail
fications are that they are fit
ted for the particular office.
True q mayor or a councilman
elected by such a political par
ty is not bound to that rule.
The exception however is a
rare occurrence, and usually
meets with the disapproval Of
the party who elected him.
The "Spoils" system can
have no place in municipal af-
fairs, If the best interests of
the city are considered. If
that system is eliminated, there
is absolutely no reason for
holding to party lines. TIE
best man for the office should
be the main issue, and not who
can get the "Spoils."
1t is apparent, judging from
previous elections, that voters
do not follow party lines very
closely in municipal elections.
There are men, however, who
nominated thereon, even if an
lincomparably better man is op-
posed to him on another ticket
Enough party men vote that
way, often, to elect incompe.
tent men to Office, whereas il
would be eliminated, in a meas.
ure, by partisan elections
If there are any benefits, di.
rectly, to the city to be derived
from a strife between the regu
lar political parties, there
might be some reason in it. If
on the other hand, there ar.
benefits to the CITY to be deriv
ed by the other method, ther
why oppose it if you are look.

Logan, Ia, Feb. 25.-Excel-
lent attendance, helpful sug-
gestions and enthusiastic
speeches characterized the Har-
rison county good roads meet
ing here yesterday, at which
time over 100 township officials
and good road boosters were in
attendance. The meeting was
held at the court house ard be-
gan at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing and lasted until about four
o'clock in the afternoon.
A. B. Hosbrook, of Missouri
Valley, was elected chairman,
and Thomas Parker, of Logan,
secretary. On taking the chair,
Mr.. Hosbrook made a ringing
speech on recent private and
public improvements in Harri.
son county. MIR. Hosbrook was
followed by D. w. Lotspeich,
who gave an interesting talk
on present and past conditions
of public roads, past methods
as compared with present
methods of road construction.
MIR. Lotspeich advised the en-
ployment of c smp'tent engi-
neer and the construction of
concrete roads adj .csnt to
towns each year, not only for
public use but also as an object
lessor; and where the roads
were constructed of earth ma
terial alone, he advocated the
use of oil similar to the plan in
California. Andrew Shinn, of
Woodbine, followed with an
earnest appeal to the township
trustees and supervisors pres
ent to place none but comre-
tent men in charge Of public
road improvements, and that
the work be done in a business
like manner. He urged the
use Of traction engines in the
place of horses on road graders,
that the work on the roads be
under the unit rule, that all
roads be carefully classified ac-
cording to use and that tie
work be dine and distributed
according to classification.
An effective speech on pre-
venting the deterioration Of
public roads controlling ard
lessoning travel and heavy
loads in rainy weather was
made by Fred Sternberg, of
Woodbine. Mr.. Sternberg
charged much of bad roads to
the unreasonable use of public
highways during rainy periods.
Attorneys Ross Mclaughlin
and c. w. Kellogg, of Missouri
Valley, M. B. Bailey, of Dun
lap, and L w. Fallon of Logan,
were in attendance and gave
valuable suggestions. Mr.. Bal
ley urged the use of GENE nts
and concretes in the construc-
tion of public highways; and,
what was done, to be a per-
manent nature to prevent year
ly expenses incident to repeti-
tion of work on the same reach
es of the road.
Thomas Parker made a
speech full of interest and val.
liable suggestions in which he
advocated the laying of public
highways less on section lines
and more on feasible routes te
escape heavy grades and trou'
bic incident to washing, espe
cially in the uplands. Mr.
Parker also urged the rapid re.
moval Of water from the road
sides and a liberal use of grave
for improving public highways
C. w. Kellogg made a stirring
address for good roads. He

and after paying his respects
to improper methods of repair
ing bridges gave a valuable
talk on the comparative merits
of team, steam and gasoline en-.
gines as the motive powers on
road graders. Mr.. Orr favored
the gasoline traction engine for
road work on bottom lands, and
where not too rolling, in the
uplands also.
w. S. Kelley, of Mondamin,
advocated the establishment of
grades where bridges and cul-
verts were to be located; he
was not favorable to hard roads
because Of the expense Of con-
struction and msintainar ce
especially in the uplands.
FIR IN Louis Erickson, Henry
Caldwell, Mr.. Wallace ard 9TH
ers, it was learned that so cents
per mile was paid for dragging
the roads, and that So to So
was paid for team and man for
eight hours work on the roads.
L. Il. Ball, a civil engineer, Of
Onawa, gave an Interesting
talk on the use Of oil and its
effect or eight miles of road
between Onawa aud Turin liz
Monona county. The road was
first put in condition and then
oiled for $3.50, and has proven
very satisfactory to the pro-
moters.
Frank Zahner, Tom Cha
burn and j. Holeton were also
present and made brief adj
dresses on different matters re-
.lating to public roads and their
constructions.
Jesse Watts, who went to
California a few weeks ago,
writes his wife that he is now
down with Malaria, and feels
pretty bad. Evidently that
country is not the place to go
to for health. Il.
Guy Smith leaves for Hope

Sarah was thinking intently Of Mary
Turner after her return to the office
As she glanced up at the opening of the
door she did not at first recognize the
figure outlined there. She remembered
Mary Turner as a tall. slender girl,
who showed an underlying vitality in
every movement, a girl with a face Of
regular features, in which was a COM
plexion of blended milk and roses. with
a radiant joy OF life shining through
all her arduous and vulgar conditions.
Instead OF this, now she saw q frail
form that stood swaying in the door

Grand Central station with her,
"Mr. Glider win be right back. Come
IN and wait"
The two went forward very slowly,
the oficer, carelessly conscious OF his
duty. walking with awkward steps to
suit the feeble movements of the girl.
Sarah at last found her voice for an
expression OF sympathy

There followed an interval OF silence
while the secretary was leaving the Of

waiting on his pleasure. Glider cleared
his throat twice In an embarrassment
foreign to him before finally he spoke
to the girl.

from Pensacola Sunday night to the

hundred miles south of Pensacola in
a disabled and waterIogged condition

It is supposed the Patuxent is be-

that she is continuing the search for
the Chelsie. Two days had passed af-

Patuxent received the report and left
