Wheat Prospect Not So Good.

Although the heavy rain last Fridp'
night was helpful to the growing wheat
in this section. il is believed BY some
farmers that the prospect Is not very
promising The dry. cold weather in
March and April Is said to have do~
aged the wheat considerable. and while
there are some fields that look fine. We
have heard the opinion expressed thai
the yield will not be more than 6S To
rs per cent Of full croo in Jefferson
county. While the wheat was a.. a
standstill because OF the drought, the
weeds never stopped growing. and as
a consequence the glen weed and SIM
liar pests are trying to choke out the
good growth. Farmers have been husY
the past week planting corn. and some
OF them have finished this work. The
ground was in unusually good order

A Good Mayor and Good Council

Good municipal government under the fed
eral system, such as we have in Richmond,
depends primarily upon a good mayor and
good council. A good mayor, handicapped by
small-calibred council, can accomplish nothing.
The present mayoralty race has crowded con-
sideration of the merits of the candidates seek
ing nomination for the city council into the
background but the public good demands care
full selection of these nominees which voters
should not overlook when they go to the polls
next Tuesday.
In the city council originates all legislation.
1t is the only place where ordinances governing
the administration of the city can be introduced
and acted upon. All financial measures are de-
cided by this body,
If city council is made up of incompetent
altar of their caprices and whims, and block and
hamper meritorious measures out of sheer NAL
ice and opposition to the executive branch, the
best devised plans of the most competent mayor
are doomed to defeat.
The feud between the present executive and
legislative branches of the city, probably sug-
gested and fomented in certain quarters by per-
sons who wanted to make capital out of a situa-
ton, shows how disastrous to the welfare of the
city can become lack of harmony and co-opera-
ton.
Just as mayor through his power of veto
is check on the council, that body through it's
power to deny appropriations and to pass legisla-

ton over the veto of the executive, balances |
the authority which has been placed by statute in i
the hands of the mayor.
Since these two branches of our government
are mainly responsible for good administration,
it is highly necessary that not only the mayor be
a man of superior attainments, but also that the
council be composed of men of vision and of
practical experience and withal both of them
should work in complete harmony for the attain
ment of those objects which make for the public
good and contribute to the happiness of the
citizens.
The honest effort of mayor to provide an
economical administration may be frustrated by
a city council which passes extravagant meas
ures, or foolishly adopts policies that will cost
thousands of dollars without resulting in COM
rnensurate good for the community.
The reason why many incompetent and
narrow-m minded men are elected to the city coun-
Gil is because citizens usually refrain from scan
ming carefully the list Of candidates seeking the
nomination.
Just az much careful and painstaking scrut-
my should be given to the qualifications of
councilman as is devoted to the merits of a man
or woman seeking to be nominated for mayor
If mayor, in broad sense, is manager of
our municipal corporation, then the council is
board of directors. And applying the compari-
son further, the voters should be just as careful
in making the selection of these officers as are
stockholders in picking board of directors for
a purely commercial enterprise
The voters should remember that their selec-
ton next Tuesday determines the makeup OF
the city council until 1926 The nomination of
men of narrow vision, given to pickering and
backbiting, and lacking the ability to cooperate
tremendously with the executive department in
determining and carrying out a progressive
municipal program, means a poor city admins

and controversy.
Voters should select good councilmen to back
