OF ETHICS

not change it. The color of somebody's hair or whether
he wears celluloid collars or pink pajamas is all beside
the question. The public is not fooled nor will it be
fooled by by-play. The people will drive straight to the
point, under present circumstances, and get officers of
known ability and integrity. In the aggregate they have
the faculty of reaching conclusions as to who and what
they want, with an accuracy that reduces the ego and
humbles the pride.
Experience has taught that campaign claims of at
tributes not possessed can not be made to stick. It is a
whole lot better to be modest and honest with the public.
For the public already knows or will know, and you are
spared that foolish feeling for having attempted deceit.
Under the law and recognized rules, every man and
woman of voting age in the city has the right to select
his candidate and support him unquestioned by any
other candidate or friend of candidate. The people are
hiring servants. The servants are not selecting masters.
And as is customary i'll such circumstances suitability and
ability to perform the service required are examined very
closely. Overeagerness for the place does not always
mean, necessity, ambition or DISTINGUISHED motive.
1t is not considered good form in a city of twenty thou
sand people to parade about with a chip on the shoulder
inviting all corners to brush it off. In that number of
people many of them will be able to accept the challenge
and also make it stick.
1t is never a good idea to assume to represent any
particular class or section of the people without their
appointment. For instance the churches and the moral
element of the community have not selected any par
ticular champion, the poker players party has nominated
mated any particular candidates., union labor has not
authorized any set of candidates to conduct a campaign
in its behalf. A majority of all of the people is still the
rule. Minority factions are useful in the presentation
of candidates., but the candidates must represent much
more than a mere contingent and he who appealSto class
and prejudice is not a big enough man to be mayor of
Casper.
Let the campaign proceed, in good humor and with
out rancor, so that at its close, ~neighbors may continue
to be friends. The only object we have in view is to
lie business in economical and efficient manner. All
else is superfuous.

Let US speak for a few moments upon the ethics of the
case, forgetting for the time the exaggerated impor-
tance Mr.. Giblin and his hackers assume him to occupy
in the community. The public is not concerned, not
even interested in newspaper controversy upon a miscel-
laneous collection of collateral questions. gossip, idle re-
ports, alleged assertions, beliefs, dreams or imaginings
with reference to candidates for the mayoralty of Cas-
per, their friends or supporters. So far as The Tribune
is concerned. the public will be spared any such exhibit
ton of tank town procedure. Beclouding the issue is old
stuff. Very old, indeed. An acknowledgement of weak
ness of the cause and a reflection upon the Intelligence
of the reading public.
What Mr.. Giblin may think of The Tribune or any
one directly or remotely connected with it, is inconse-
quential to both The Tribune and the public. The quail
ifcations and fitness of Mr.. Giblin, Mr.: Veitch or Mr..
Blackmore, to be the mayor Of Casper are of much
higher Importance and entirely pertinent at this time.
Ascribing deep laid plots, charging imaglnary IN
dence of anxiety for the public good, it is simply the
fears of the inexperienced who would themselves at
tempt such things did they possess the skill and ability
for success.
There is in the present municipal election situation
this principal issue-the choosing of a mayor and three
members Of council. The kicking up of a lot of dust will

English Country Life

N1GHTTALL. BY Anthony Pryde. Pub
lished by Dodd, Mead G. Co. Price So.
ssNIGHTFALL" is story of English
= country life after the war. 1t is
woven about the love affair of Isabel
Stafford, the daughter of the village
rector, and Lawrence Hyde, wealthy
man of the world, with a strain Of the
Levant in him that makes him some
what of an outsider.
The real hero of the story is Isabella
brother Val. During a night raid of
the war, ten years before, his nerves
went back on him and he huddled, weak
and blubbering, in a she'll hole until
Hyde, who was his captain, forces him
at the muzzlc of revolver to carry a
wounded man behind the lines. For
hidden by Hyde to tell the truth. he is
decorated for the exploit and must
pose as q hero the while he writhes
under sense of his own unftness.
In contrast to him is Bernard
Cowles, another victim of the war. But
where Val's sufferings bring out the
nobility of his character the paralysis
which ended his active life of snort
and travel incseases the latent streak
Of cruelty in Cow1es and makes tho
life of his wife and all about him n
torment.
