WILEY AND THE COUNCIL

The refusal of the city council to
confirm Mayor Wiley's selections for
the police force is q rather unusual
proceeding. As head of the city
government, the people hold him re-
sponsible for the enforcement of the
law. II he has to assume the re-
sponsibility, then he should be per-
mitted to choose the instruments he
10 to use to enforce the law. II 1t
IL his belief that Chief Wilson is
the man, and II Chief Wilson be-
lieves Mr.. Mcdonald is the assistant
he wants, then the council should
place its o. X. upon their choice,
and IL the results expected are not
secured, then both the mayor and
the chief should be held to ''strict
accountability" II, however, his
assistants are to be dictated by the
council or other influence, the
mayor should not be saddled with
any failure of law enforcement that
may ensue.
We are not surprised at the out
come Of last nights session, for
there has been great deal Of boast
ing about what would and would not
be done. Someone has undertaken
. good-sized contract, and in its ex-
ecution has shouldered responsible
ties that cannot easily be shifted
when their magnitude are realized.
The fair thing to do is to give
Mayor Wiley a chance. He is the
head of the city's government, and
N its executive he should not be
handicapped nor interfered with un-
til he shows he is incapable Of serv-
ing the best interests Of the com,
@unity,

Women and Cats.

Women are like cats. II you move
toward them they run away. But Il
you sit there and say "Puss, puss
puss," and put saucer Of milk on
the floor, In due course they will be
moved by curiosity to come and see
what there Is In the saucer. Then
click you've got the cat by the back
Of the neck SO that II can't scratch
you. When the cat has struggled
enough and discovered that It can't
get away, and been tickled behind the
ear, she'll sit on your lap and purr.
And then, ah. then, you no longer need
to say, "Puss, puss, pussl" You can
say, "You damn cat!" and she'll 60
on sitting there, purring.-From "Cal.
