The question of what children
read these days ought TO be a more
important one than it is generally
considered, and we feel that parents
are largely TO blame for conditions
now prevailing. We believe the pa
rents cannot be too careful in re-
gard to the reading matter nut into
the hands of the children. Too many
trashy and immoral stories come to
the children through the cheap maga-
zines. Parents can stimulate in the
children desire for better reading

THE MEN WE NEED.


AS the time draws near for he
election of town officials we should
begin to consider the type of men
who will most wisely administer the
offices to be filed. For mayor we
should have progressive man, one
who will continue the constructive
work and plan other measures for
the advancement of our town. We
want mayor to whom civic pride is
a very real thing, one who will safe
guard the public health by every
possible means, one who will see to
it that the streets of the town, as
we'll as the back lots, are kept in
proper condition and who will look
upon such work as necessary part
of his duties. We need a business
man of sound judgment, a man un-
biased and incapable of smallness.
He should be one who will not hest
tate to advocate the levying of extra
taxes If the need arises, but who will
and discrimination. Lancaster mas
reached a critical point in its devel-
opment. 1t has outgrown the limits
of town and has entered upon it's
larger growth as a city. Already
many modern improvements have
come. Our homes are comfortably
equipped with conveniences. The
sidewalks have been paved and other
useful as well as ornamental innova-
tions make for better living condi-
tions. Lancaster has made noble
start in its building for the future.
1t is important, therefore, that this
work should not be checked but
should rather be given new i'm
betus. A public library is not one of
the least Of our needs and we want |
d mayor who tas an appreciation f |
the value Of books and will make a
library possible.
What we have suggested as the
qualifications for mayor applies
equally to aldermen. The city coun-
Gil should be made up of men wise.
progressive and unafraid. The
mayor should wear no mans collar
save his own. He should not be
guided by the dictates of any local
faction but should strive always to
advance the interests OF the town.
ignoring factional differences, heed
less of carping criticism. mindful!
only of the common good. 1t would
be we'll if the city. councilmcn should
up to the standard we have
set. Each member should have a
vision Of the city of the future. the
Lancaster of the years tC come We
are none of us master builders. but
only the best should have a hand In
the work OF city construction We
may elect good, progressive. for
body of men to admin
lister the affairs of our city. With
proper selection such men can be
found. Are we going to look for
them or will we choose blndly and
heedlessly? There is too much at
stake. We cannot afford to be guild
ed by motives other than those which
Will make this a still better town.
Right now Lancaster Leads" We
must elect men who will keep her in
the lead. Again we ask that the
voters give to this matter the serious
consideration it deserves.
