ARE WE sLACKERs9

THE city Jerk Of Kiows, Kansas. recently applied to the attorney
general Of that state for an opinion AZ to whether or not a city
election was necessary upon the date set by state law therefor.
The reason for the inquiry was that no candidates had been found
who were willing 10 run for the municipal offices The clerk wanted
70 know II the present officers could hold over.
The attorney general replied that the law must be complied with
and an election held. II there were no candidates, he said, blank
ballots must be printed into which citizens could write the names of
those for whom they wished 10 vote.
information is lacking as TO whether or not Kiowa held an eec-
ton and whether candidates were secured. But the dilemma Of the
Kansas clerk illustrates a situation that Is found increasingly pre-
valent throughout our nation, in New York rs in New Mexico and in
Maine . IS in Kansas.
This is the unwilhngness Of citizens Of adequate ability and train
ing to stand for election TO minor offices IN local governments. In
some chies and towns there are still partisan political organizations,
or machines which are strong enough TO commander candidates for
municipal officers. The candidates who are % cOmmandeered are
not always the best. Often they are the worst that could be secured

Boy Claims Queer
Find of Old Coins.

Clarksburg, w. Va. - Two
coins almost 600 years old, found
embedded in vein of coal by
Joseph N. Stealey, aged four
teen, are arousing the curiosity
of coin experts.
The coins. one of silver and
the other of copper, were un-
earthed by young Stealey while
helping his father in a little coal
mine near. their home. Both
were found in vein that had
been untouched.
On one side of each coin is a
design similar to African hier.
oglyphics and on the other a
crude human head or skull. One
coin bears the date of 1929 and
the other 1880.
