Wei Win With Wood.

Announcement tlfat W. II. Woo
has entered the fight for the com
mission form cause as candidate fo'
nomination for mayor gives tn
friends OF the movement many rea
sons to rejoice. No stronger candi
date could have been found to lead
them to victory at both the primary
and genera elections.
The commission form of govern
ment will be an experiment for
Cairo and it should be formally in,
augurated in the hands of men who
will give it fair trial, so that the
voters will be able to decide four
years from now whether they desire
to continue to conduct the affairs OF
the city under the new plan, or re
turn to the old.
The taxpayers who voted for the
adoption of the commission plan are
morally obligated to vote against
any candidate in the fled who op-
posed the issue. Certain Of the men
who fought the adoption Of the COM
mission form of government un-
doubtedly had personal motives for
so doing and II this is true it is not
reasonable to believe that their only

they will be able to work for its re-
lection at the earliest possible time
The opposition to the change re-
peatedly asserted that it opposed the
adoption Of the change because of
the possible affect it might have on
the legality or sale of the city levee
bonds. When it was definitely de.
cided that the change could not pos.
sibly affect the validity of the
bonds, they then based their fight
upon the possible affect it might
have on the sale of the issue. when
this doubt was removed last Mon
day with the offer of local bank TO
buy the bonds at par, the opposition
had to fight the proposition on its
merits alone. THEY COULD NO
LONGER DECEIVE THE PEOPLE
AS TO THEIR MOTIVE IN FIGHT
ING AGAINST THE PROPOSITION
AND THEY LOST AT THE POLLS.

THE NAIL CARRIER
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author of Sat Good Old Siwash."

The mail carrier is the patient
beast of burden who makes the
postage stamp worth two cents.
The man who invented mail car
riers made the postoffice depart
ment endurable and caused it TO
flourish and expand while the eS-
press companies are sinking into
the sere and yellow leaf. If the
government delivered mail from a
wagon with extra charges for all

the ertreme outskirts OF the 34th
ward Even when he removes to

nearest railroad the government

revolutions are unknown in this
country,
The mail carrier is the bone and
sinew of department which has
been taught to run largely without
brains. Postmasters are more nee
essary in political headquarters
than in postofflces, and while gum
has been sold by machinery for
twenty years, the government still
tears off its stamps by hand and
sells them during the banking hours.
But the mail carrier sustains the
department on his broad shoulders
and carries it forward to success by
means of his agile and durable feet.
