CHICAGO TIRES OF PARTISAN CITY POLITICS

Non-partisansIlip in municipal elections has
grown steadily in favor throughout the United
states and its friends are not few in Honolulu
Non-partisanship and efficiency make up as
good platform as any city could ask.
Even in such party-ruled city as Chicago
where for many years party politics has been
emphasized, the call for Il new order of things is
sounding louder and louder The primaries OF
February % had some significant results,
among which was the small vote cast as com.
pared with the registration. Almost without
exception the Chicago papers interpret this to
prove that Chicago is no longer interested in
partisan city politics.
The Daily News, a thoughtful and conserva-
tive paper, speaking of the cost of the primaries
$212 200 and the small vote, says:
''The fact that only 1885 men and women vot-
ed out of registration of 592.l4S and women
shows, say those who have studied the subject that
the average voter does not believe in the primary
idea so far as local affairs concerned. 1t was
pointed out that the taxpayer will rebel at this
enormous expense merely to perpetuate partisanship
IN local affairs The figures show that 41s.365 men
and sat by the fire and refused to participate
IL the primary election, altnough they were regis
tered and eligible.
"A businessman commenting upon the issue de-
caFed that such extravaganza in business would
mean ruin financially. Medill Mccormick and other
legislators who pressed the nonpartsan issue before
the legislature last session said they would take the
figures to Springfield next session and make them
the basis for the nonpartisan campaign in the egs
lature.
Since the choice OF nominees is in so many in-s.
stances gratifying to the friends of good local gov
eminent the relatively light vote at the primaries
will cause little regret In large measure it
fleets popular disapproyal Of party meddling in
on the part of many voters to join heartily in
non-partisan movements to support the best candi-
dates in the various wards Since this spirit is
questionaby abroad to greater degree than ever
before. intelligent campaigning by the citizens on
behalf of reliable candidates should be large in vol
ume and peculiarly effective
pride in partisanship should not be permitted to
interfere with the communty's need for intelli-
gent independent and generally efficient city
ell The appearance of the voter has
Qrestionaby swelled by many thousands the ranks
OF those who believe in nonpartsan action at local
elections. Already the good influence of
voters be discerned since they helped material
~ bring about the gratifying results of yesterdays
primaries.
The News further comments very cordially
in approval of theSpart taken by women in the
primaries. The women .'manfully exercised the
right of casting vote, it declares.

THE RIGHT TREATMENT

The treatment suggested by the New Yorl
Werld, as a result of the metropolis experience
with the unemployed some weeks ago, ongh
to be repeated in California:
Not since the first snow-storm, than two
weeks ago, has any man able and willing to WELD
shovel needed to lack steady work in New York.
The |. w. w leaders who inviting the worst ele-
ments of a great city to plumber do not want work;
they do not want their dupes to accept work. They
seek social revolution" and society should know
how to meet the challenge. Work for those who
want it and the rigor of the law for criminals will
meet the situation"

Rebels Hope to Take Capital

Chihuahua, Mex, April 29.-Recent
constitutionalist successes. notably the
capture 81 sMontea5d ahd the further
defeats said to have been inflicted
upon the retreating federals in en-
gagements between Monterey and Sal
.tillo, blythe rebel forces, have induced
widespread feeling among the heads
of the constitutionalist army that Mex
leo City soon will be in their hands.
1t is asserted by them that the re-es-
tablishment of the embargo on arms
along the Texas border will not cramp
the operations Of General Villas army
against Saltillo and other points to
the south.
There is feeling of confidence that
villa has sufficient ammunition to
conduct operations until Tampioo is
taken by the constitutionalists giving
the rebels a port exempt from the op-
erations of the embargo. There is a
deep-seated impression here that the
fall Of Tampico can not be long de-
layed.
Hospital arrangements provided for
Villas soldiers are excellent. There
are number Of American surgeons
in the service and the work of physi-
clans has been rendered exceptionally
effective because they have been able
to direct their entire attention to the
wounded. Villas army seems to be
extraordinarily immune from the camp
diseases common to many armed frc-
es Another factor which has light
e4@d the work of the surgeons is the
extraordinary fortitude shown by the
wounded, and the readiness with
which the men recover from serious
wounds.
