ELECTRICAL ATTENDANT.

Usually the car owner must stop, get

he has to close it when leaving. All
this djfficulty has been happily solved
by garage owner in Colorado
Springs who has perfected an arrange
ment whereby the automobile desir-

of three metal plates sunk into the
ground at both sides OF the door.

Ottumwa Courier: Governor Clarke,
In his annual message to the legisla-
ture which he read yesterday to that
body. calls attention to one Of the
worst practices OF public officials
their making use OF the peoples time
and prestige in seeking to assure their
own reelection to ONCE. In support
OF his plea for four year term and
no consecutive reelection for the gov
ernor Mr.. Clarke says that almost as
soon as a governor is in office and be-
he sees the need for building up Of
his political fences in order to assure
his denomination a year later by his
party And az soon as he Is renom-
inated--as ne usually is-he then be-
gins a more or less active campaign
for reelection another year hence.
An OF which means that the COVER
nor spends a fair share Of his time
working to perpetuate himself in Of
fee instead OF attending to the duties
for which he was elected.
The same thing is true right down
the line from governor to the lowest
elective Office Too many office hold
ers are unwilling to let their records
as public officials, determine their
chance of reelection. They are not
willing to pay attention to their work
up to the minute OF election and risk
their chance OF returning to office on
the Judgment of the voters as to
whether or not they have proved cap
able officials.
The remedy for the practice that
Governor Clarke deplores is not in
making the term of public office
that in itself need not
be dreaded-but In getting into public
office men who are ambitious to serve
the public at the salary the office pays
and for the term to, which they are

that the city is made UP of quar-

is endeavoring to become rich by de-
feating established business In a
questionable manner and at the ex-

will do more to harm city than any

should resent attacks Of certain ad-

1t has been recently discovered by

the paper, more money by many
thousands Of dollars, than the total
sum paid annually to- the paper by

papers being very much alike in
this respect, the local advertisers
have very sure opportunity of get

they spend with the newspaper from

and Of course many thousands Of dol

It can readily be seen from the
above that II a newspaper did not
have it's foreign advertising and Its
subscription list, it would be big
money loser.
The superstition is that the head of

more than good common sense, and
