the CITY ELECTION.

The city election Is now matter Of
history. Fred H. Carter is elected

The issue was clearly defined. 1t
was: Shall the wide open lawless con-

good government?
It was not expected and is not now
expected that the incoming admins
tration can eradicate all the evils in
this community. But it is expected
that an honest and sincere effort will
be made to enforce the laws and create
abetter moral conditions.
The new city officials are all repre-
Sentative citizens and men with whom
TALL subjects for the city's good can be
taken up and discussed. 1t is the duty
Of all citizens now to take an interest
in the city government and assist in all
ways to make practical Improvement

GETTING READY NOW.

New Orleans has planned extensive
improvements in it's great system Of
steamer terminals The reason given
is that an increase in river traffic has
become necessity if the middle west
wants to compete with the coasts. Any
increase in river freight carrying is
bound to increase the business of the
port of New Orleans and that city Is
going to get ready for. it right now.
Other cities should recognize the need
for docks and terminals to accommo.
date the water borne traffic that is to
spring up in the near future, and pre-
pare for it. Cities should look to their
river fronts and get the necessary land
as the first step.

The second Objectionable provision
of the preamble of the Jones bill, look
! ing to the recognition OF the indepen-
dence Of the Philippines, states that
"for the speedy accomplishment Of
such purpose it Is desirable to place
J in the hands Of the people Of the Phil
i ipnines as large control of their do
nestle affairs as can be given them
without, in the meantime, impa,ring
the exercise Of rights of sovereignty
by the people of the United States
This purpose will not be speedily
accomplished in any such way. 1t may
be attained, If at all, only by placing
in their hands, from time to time, as
large control of their domestic af-
fairs as experience shows to be consis-
tent with honest and efficient admins
tration. They must be compelled to
meet reasonably high standards. To
follow any other course is to delay. not
to expedite, the accomplishment OF our
purpose.
The establishment of an elective gen.
ate, for which the bill provides is pre-
mature, but with wise exercise Of the
veto power, should have no other i'll
effect than to prevent the certainty of
being able to initiate legislation which
Washington might deem necessary by
appointing members to the upper
house who would favor it.
The most Objectionable feature in
the bill is the provision that the heads
Eof executive departments shall be APP
pointed by the governor general with
the approval of the Philippine senate.
This arrangement, il adhered to, will
result In frequent deadlocks and in the
forcing of undesirable political appoint.
mcnts. Secretaries of departments
will suffer serious loss in the prestige
which they now enjoy because of their
appointment by the president and their
confirmation by the senate of the
United States. Such things count for
much in an Oriental country, and the
usefulness of their officers will be ma
terially diminished if this provision is
not eliminated. With an elective SEN.

In Europe stops, those nations at their
peace conferences may take up the
question of how many men and boats
it will be necessary for them to send
over to Mexico to look after their in
terests that they have had to neglect
during their own troubles. We must
not delude ourselves with the thought
that the European nations will not be
In shape to protect their interests in
Mexico. After they get their own
peace treaties settled. five or six of
them may make an agreement that
they will jointly take care of their own
Mexican interests, and then proceed to
dc so. It will be a good deal better for
the United States to stop the anarchy
that prevails in Mexico now, than it
will be to wait until we are told to do
1t by a joint committee representing
six or seven Of the big powers OF
Europe and Asia
Just as soon as the war Closes new
compacts will be made between the ma
lions of the old world. Alliances for
defense and offense will be entered in

now may be fighting for each other in

Japan and Russia were at war-now
they are combined against the same
foes.
II behooves the United States to put
a stop to the anarchy in Mexico that is
making a desert out of a fertile coun-
try. Delay is liable to involve us in
much bigger proposition than it
would be to take temporary charge of
Mexico and protect life and property
rights until the natives themselves
evince desire to do 50.

1t Is especially important that the

In freeing slaves and poems; in bring

completion, The vast majority of the

lies in the continuance of our control

Independence has been attained.
With the enormous possibilities of
mutually advantageous trade develop
ment between the two countries, and
the great value to us OF strong naval
base in a friendly land near the Asiatic
coast in the event Of war with any Of
our far eastern neighbors, our task
need not be considered purely humani-
tartan, although its humanitarian as
pect should be of controlling import
ance. 1t was self-imposed in the first
instances, and failure to complete it
would expose us to the well deserved
contempt of other nations.
The bill fixes no date for indepen-
dence. We should not promise it I'M
til we are at least sure that when 1t
is possible it will be desired.

the wind lived. without end through all
time-always and forever. 1t was q
strange thought to him. He liked II.
What was the wind but the rush of
countless souls that came and went
with each succeeding breath2 The wind
would never die. 1t would cease one
| day to visit his useless hulk, but Ii
would go on forever just the same, car
rying the last breath OF him with it
the last bit of the soul OF him. He liked
the thought of IL. There was something
in Ii, after all. Life went on with the
wind; death stayed behind to rot. The
wind would never die. Yes, that was
what they meant when they said the

die?
In that short space of time, as the
storm came up. Adam Carr began to
grasp the elusive thing men call re-
ligion. He was not taking 1t on faith.
He was beginning to reason IL out.
The first scattering drops OF rain blew
across his face. Someone moved behind
him. He looked up. The nurse was at
the head of his chair, smiling
It's coming" she said.
Coming and going" he said, with a
smile she did not understand, 1t was so
mysterious. .r. s.
Even as the door closed upon the
gathering storm, a man hurried up
from the sidewalk and lifted the
knocker.
Mrs. Payson admitted him. A tall,
frail man whose hair was white.
I've come, Adam, to see IL we cannot
be friends after all these bitter years."

the foot of the chair.
Adam caught his breath He was
speechless for many seconds; long,
tense seconds they were. When words
came. II was the old Adam Carr who
uttered them. .
Horace" he said, slowly, deliber-
ately. lit won't seem natural not to
hate you"
II understand" said Mr.. BIagden.
1T has not been easy for me, Adam"
Adam Carr addressed the wondering
nurse.
Miss Hastings, will you be good
enough to take. Mr.. Blagden's hat and
to push my chair over by the window?
And then you may leave US for
while. l beg your pardon. This Is Mr..
Horace Blagden, the great man Of
Corinth. o..
Mr.. Blagden did not vince. II there
was tinge of irony In the characteri-
zation, 1t escaped him. He bowed gra-
ciously to the young woman and
seated himself where he could look into
the face of the man who had just made
the admission-the one man in all Cor
NTH to begrudge him the distinction
up to the present hour. All, it was
something to get that out OF Adam
Carr! Now ii was complete. His Gun
OF satisfaction was full.
