OUR PREDlCAAIENT

Although The Advertisers views on
the conduct of the city government in
the past are well known and our
views are unchanged. we have NO de-
sire to gloat over the embarrassing
situation in which the administration
finds itself this morning We cannot
refrain, however from reminding the
mayor and board Of aldermen of the
suggestion offered when they went in
to Office something like a year ago,
viz, to study the city charter as
the bedrock OF the city'S govern
ment. We are free to admit that it is
but human to make mistakes, but we
cannot but think that had the charter
been given the attention it deserved it
would not have expired and left us in
such 4 p"cdicamcnt.
The situation which confronts us is
one that will require an exhibition OF
faith toward the officials OF yesterday
and good judgment in the solution Of
the difficulty We are city in all out
ward appearances and the city'S bust
ness must be transacted in some way.
While the officials Of the chartered
city are hardly but dc facto officials to-
day, we must rely upon thcm TO carry
on such OF the city'S affairs as are
necessary for civic existence. Our
streets must he cleaned and lighted; :;
our homes must be furnished water
and lights. our current expenses must
be met and many other things must be
done that arc absolutely necessary
to do. TO have these things done,
taxes and accounts due the city
should be met as If nothing had oc-
cured, as the city'S affairs cannot be
conducted without money
AS to what changes, if any, should
be made in the OLD charter in case il
is offered for renewal we have little
to suggest. The matter has come up
rather suddenly, so our mind is as yet
open on the question. Yet, as a gen
cral proposition, we hardly think it
can be denied that the old charter
made possible too much Capitalization
OF power III the hands Of one man.
This, we think, should be improved
on in some manner 1t is possible
that the adoption Of the commission
form Of government would go far to-
ward correcting many evils existing
in our old form Of government. but
We have not given the matter enough
study to express any opinion on it
ourselves or to give an intelligent out
line of it for the benefit OF those in
tcrcStcd
II seems to US that il would be we'll
to have a public meeting Of the clcc-
tors in the court house where the mat
ter may lie gone into thoroughly
In the meantime, as suggested in
the outset, all Of us need to exercise
due amount Of faith and patience,
yielding our minor legal prcrogativcs
in order that individually and collcc-
lively we may be discomfortcd as little
as possible on account of the falling
down OF our municipal fabric

N. 6 C. PLEADS FOR COUNTY
LIVE STOCK ASSOCIATIONS
THE PROGRESS leads.

In the distribution Of pure bred
live stock in communities seeking to
improve both the quality Of the ami
NAL produced and the prevailing
customs of live stock husbandry,
the country livestock association
PLAYS an essential and important
part. No community can hope to
obtain general and substantial ad-
vancement in agriculture and live
stock raising without active mutual
cooperation on the part Of those in
terested. The local organization
furnishes the cooperative medium.
The County Association, as COM
munity, enables its members to in
terest breeders of acknowledged in
tegrity in distant sections to supply
the local demand for breeding ami
mails through the agency Of local
public sales, promoted and directed
under the auspices Of the county or
ganization. The best blood Of the
breeds is thus brought practically
to the farmers door and offered to
him at his own prices and upon his
own terms. The farmer sees what
he is purchasing and he is the best
judge of whether he is getting value
returned for his investment.

those who make the accusation will
be shown up as totally without
facts to back them up. When Mr..
Sims announced for the Senate, he
had no idea that the primary, which
he advocated, would be held so ear
ly, or he mott certainly would not
have entered the contest.
AS to the connection Of Mr.. Sims
with the declination of the Congress
sional Committee to incorporate in
the primary rules a run-off provis-
ion, it is a fact that Mr.. Sims has
always been willing for a run-off
provision to be a part Of the rules
where the leading candidate in the
primary did not receive over 40 per
cent. Of the vote cast, but in this
particular instance ne had not even
had any communication with the
committeeman Of his own county
on the subject and as a matter Of
fact was wholly Indifferent as to
what action the committee might
take in the premises. The Demo-
Gratis Of this district have heretofore
given Mr.. Sims fair hearing in his
primary races, for they know that
his word is as good as any mans
bond, and this time, as heretofore,
no manufactured stuff is going to
hurt him in the eyes of the people
who haye come to know his trust
worthiness.
