FITNESS AND NOT POPULARITY.

Too often our public offices are
filled with men who ride in on wave
of popularity. Little attention is
given oftimes to the qualifications
which they do or do not possess. That
an absolutely fit man should be
chosen to any Office of public trust,
there can be no doubt, yet the public
is often baited with sugar coated po-
litical phrases which they allow to
deceive themselves and do detriment
to their own best interest.
In the present campaign it has
been our pleasure to meet man who
is running on the republican ticket
for position on the public service
commission. He is man who has
had to do with railroad rates to a
considerable extent the past several
years, and that in itself is an i'm
portant factor for the reason that a
great part of the commissions time
is taken up in handling rate cases.
Robert Service of Baker is seeking
election from the common people,
and a peep into his record is enough
to convince anyone that he has al
ways taken a stand there. Mr.. Ser
vice is not antagonistic to the rail-
roads in the strict sense of the term
but he believes in square deal all
the way round. He is the first can
didate for this Office we have been
able to find who has come out in the
firm stand for the rights of the pub
lie, free from any possible entangle-
ment or alliances with the big in
terests. His slogan on the primary
ballot is, Regulate, give fair return
on honest capital, nothing on Watered
stock" A vote for Robert Service
will be vote for your own best in,
terest. A man best fit for the posi-
tion should and undoubtedly viii
have the preference over the candi
date who looks to local pride to elec'
him,
