MIR. PLACE DIsAGKEEs.

Dixon w. Place. citizens ticket
candidate for mayor made one state
ment in his open letter about his can
didacy Saturday that may not set at
all well with the journalistic sponsor
OF the new movement.
Mr.. Place does not believe that
South Bend IL such a bad place. He
believez some things could be and
should be improved and that he could
improve them II he had a chance. But
ne is evidently unwilling to follow the
example Of his party organ in throw
ing mud at the city IN which he lives
in order 10 better his own chances.
WIZ any man should ever think he
IS htting himself for leadership, or
why any newspaper should ever seek
to bolster up its political position by
defaming his own or it's own home
town and holding 1t up 20 the scOrn
OF the state is almost Incompetent
sibie. but it is done frequently. Evil
IDENTIFY Mr.. Place is not Of this stamp
and we gladly give him credit for It.
Mr.. Places statement is delightfully."-
vague even in his diplomatic refer
ence 10 saloon regulation. He recog-
ni,ses that owing to traditions and long
c,.stoms. the different people IN South
bend holland honestly-widely
varying and conflicting views on this
difficult problem. Granting this TO
be true, then what?
There is no reference to alleged
public service corporation abuses, or
20 any Of the other issues raised by
other candidates in the Place state
ment. Outside the matters of law
enforcement and economy, which are
the stock in trade OF every candidate
in the worlds history, about the only
thing on which Mr.. Place makes a
definite statement is in regard TO the
public printing.
And his position on this is so totally
wrong from the point of view OF the
citizens party organ as to be well
nigh fatal. For Mr.. Place proposes
10 divide up the public printing be-
tween the organs OF the different
parties. Does ne expect the Tribune
10 stick for that? What's the use of
their starting a new party II they
don't get their reward. That public
printing is what is behind the Trib's
whole fight. If they're going to be
beaten out OF that they might just as
well go back TO George Fountains re-
publican party.

Editor News-Times.
Did not this city, few years ago.
pass an ordinance and provide
penalty for anyone who posted bills
or advertisements on telegraph or
telephone poles in the city of South
Bend, and is not this ordinance in
force yet?
We have at the present time quite
number who seem anxious to be
elected 10 the various offices that are
10 be filled in the near future and
some OF these aspirants are decor
ating the poles of this city with their
pictures.
These men are naming their quail
iticatlons and virtues, promising the
voters that they viii enforce the laws
10 the best OF their knowledge and
ability yet in the face of the full
public they are one of them by the
display of their advertisements on
the poles.
If they are permitted 10 do this
before being elected what may we
expect of them after we have favored
thin with sufficient votes 10 entitle
them TO the honors conferred on
them by this generous hoodwinked"
public?
Another point I wish to make a
mention Of and one which should
be weighed and analyZed by every
American citizen whether they be a
voter or not.
The United States laws permit GER
tain foreigners TO enter our country
and to become American citizens.
Now what is our duty towards
these foreign people? Do we wish
to raise their standard and make
them good American citizens OF shall
We trod them down and make Grim
inals of them, and suffer for the
depredations these criminals are con-
tinually perpetrating?
In 1850 Abraham Lincoln saw fit
TO set the Negro slaves free and the
northerns gave up their lives for that
cause, as they believed il was a just
one; they were in sym Nathy with the
colored slaves, and believed that by
freeing them and giving them a
chance for an education they would
make better citizens.
In thousands of cases this has
been true and increasing progress
is still being made, yet occasionally
we find amongst the white race one
who is still prejudiced and draws
the line on the colOred race.
Ny attention has recently been
called TO a case Of this kind.
A candidate who seeks the highest
honor that South Bend has TO offer
in public office, refused the patronage
of ail esteemed colored citizen simply
because he was cOlored. 1 wish to
make the statement here, that though
this man has darker skin than the
average white person, his heart is
just as white, he is just as honest and

II is the testimony Of parents that
their children were better of in school
than In the enjoyment of their usual
freedom. Their health was better,
they learned TO take a more rational
view Of play and their advance in
their studies was a distinct gain. The
pupils themselves, reluctant at first. TO
give up their accustomed vacation of
three months. admit that they have

schools.
The educational benefits will be

measure that promises relief from
present national ills?
Pres. Wilson is the responsible party
and he is Sinking nothing. II the re-
forms he advocates and which he is

ministration falls short Of what the
country expects OF it he will have to
bear the brunt of the blame.
Congressman can go to their con-
stituents and say, I'VE have deferred

the president can say will help his
case. He has had his chance and

If the administration is a success
nobody will have to explain anything.
The people can understand success,
but they cannot always comprehend
failure.

Congress will have a wide latitude
on the banking and currency bill just
