OUR CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE.

Tho unusually large number OF citizens who
have filed for office excites tho ribaldry OF the
paragrapher. Yet that Is a wrong way to look
Mt tho matter. II are ever to have good
government---better governmental must come
through the election OF good T en--better mon
Ito office And tho opportunity for selecting
bstter men is in exact ratio TO the number who
offer themselves.
After all II IS n commendable thing for n
man 10 aspire to public office. TO offer his serv-
ices 10 his state. II II could be made certain
that in all such cases tho citizen asking office
would be treated with the same fair consdera-
tlon accorded his application for private em-
ployment we suspect that II would not be long
until our very best men would be offering their
services TO the state.
1--WE have not yet acquired the faculty. nor cf-
feoted the seft-dlsoIpline necessary. to so con-
duct our political campaigns. We seem to enjoy
tearing a man 10 pieces and savagely attacking
his character, impugning his motives and
otherwise giving oifenso. or course this Is
wrong and OF course all OF us are equally guilty
OF the otfense. Those OF us who engage In
such practice do not attach the importance to
II that the mass OF citizenship does. We call a
public man n horse thief with a smile on our
lips and no bitterness whatever in our hearts
while they hear the charge then begin looking
about for n rope.
5Thc campaign opening is OF tremendous I'M
bortance to the taxpayers of this state. There
r. a chore to be executed an essential ehore;
let us set about doing Il fairly honestly and
with as much OF The golden rule In our hearts
as may be- Then when we have elected our
officials let US continue TO be fair with them
In the meantime the gentlemen who have
fiIed for office no matter whence they come
or to what they aspire are Justly entitled
10 our fair consideration; TO our respect until
facts forfeit them that respect,
