CALLS BANTAMS
 BEST SOLDIERS

LONDON-Thatli little men have many advantages in war time over their big ger brothers is an argument advanced in the British Medical Journal.
 After expressing the view that 3O,0OO have been lost to the army in the last few weeks owing to the present height standard, the journal says. Not a little is to be said in favor of short infantry. Short men occupy less room in transport They find cover more easily and offer smaller mark to bullets and shrapnel
 They are better sheltered in trench es and require to dig less deep trenches L. protect themselves.
 It takes less khaki to clothe them and less leather to boot them. The army blankets cover them more amply and they need less food than tall. thin men to keep up their body heat and maintain their marching energy.
 Those who stand the rigors of cold climates are not always big men. and the sailor, like the wind swept tree on tue coast, may be short man warmth and easy conditions of life rather tend to the development of tall men.
 The cavalry and artillerymen re- qure to be big and powerful, but as to those who burrow in the trenches, how can 1t matter whether they are 1 feet 9 %. . feet 6. We are not out for a show and a parade but to win a war of seiges and attrition."

City official Paper
NOME. ALASKA. APRIL IA. 1915.
A PROGRESSIVE MEASURE.

lower branch of the Territorial Iegis- lature by Representative Getchell pro viding for the election by popular vote of the principal administrative officers of incorporated towns is unquestion- ably a step in the right direction and will do much to eliminate many detri- mental features of the present method of the administration of public affairs Under the present appointive system. the business of selecting the officials to fill the offices of City Clerk Treasurer. Magistrate and Attorney is a matter in which the people have no voice what ever. and such offices are in reality in the nature of political plums ready for distribution by the politicians as re- wards to friends or constituents for fayors received or expected. \ system of this nature can in no sense be con duciVe to the best interests of the com munity The business of selecting the officials who will handle the affairs of a municipality belongs by right to the people and it should he their privilege not only to select the governing body. as represented by the council, but also all officers who shall preside as the administrative heads of the various de- partments.
 A change of this nature cannot but be beneficial and will undoubtedly be viewed with favor by all save the pro- fesslonal politicians.
 There is no denying the fact that a system that permits of the distribution of paid official positions by a few per sons necessarily entails prospect that much of the personal element will enter into the selection and i'll general tie matter of choice is decided, not solely by the merit of the individual. but rather by his popularity with the appointiye body or because of the ne cessity of rewarding him who has labcred in the cause of those who hold the appointive power
 The tendency to change from the ap- ia'ntive to the elective system is be ing manifested by all progressive com munities and as far as can be deter mined by the limited data available has teen entirely successful and eminentlv satisfactory wherever inaugurated

destruction OF that prosperity.
In comparison with the prosperous

every intelligent observer knows. that
the distinctive characteristic u re-

government By men who have little

tory OF Democratic legislation shows
that measures relating to the conduct
Of great and small business have been
framed and enacted by men who re-
ieoted the advice OF business men.
The testimony Of railroad men on leg
isiation affecting railroads has been
rejected because they were parties OF
interest. The same Is true OF manu-
facturers. bankers. ship owners. mer-
chants. men Of all lines OF trade. And
these same men OF business and trade
who were prospering under Republi-
can rule were told by the autocrat OF
the White House that the reason they
did not get along now was that they
didn't know how to run their business.
And so Il has come about that expert.
