OFFICE AND OFFICE SEEKING.

It may be said with more or less &C
curacy that time was when the Office
sought the man, but that time is S,
far back in the past that case of th'
kind now would be likened unto tlasf
OF chain lightning from a clear sky
To avoid argument, however, Wen con.
cede there may be case about once in
a quarter of century where the Office
seeks the man either in federal,
state or municipal election. and then
not always with success. For this the
tax-paying voter is largely to blame.
which mayhap is through jealousy or in
difference of citizenship duty.
What we are commonly accustomed
to, and have been since the writer has
been a voter, is that the woods have
been fullof office seekers, either through
the elective OF appointive channel.
Get there by any promise or scheme -
trap the voter if you can. And how
would you class them? They are
neither tillers or toilers, but rather
seekers for prestage and power. or for
soft snap, or to carry out some hobby
whereby the public treasury would be
left bare and perhaps burden left for
taxpayers to shoulder.
Let the future generation pay for
ii, is an argument which meets with
some favor. This would be more
plausible if it could be established be-
yond doubt that the future generation
would be benefited in substantial
way that really it would be no burden
to those.who come after. But do wise,
judicious men handle their personal or
family affairs in this way? No, you
say Well, shouldn't the conducting
of private business be safe guide for
that of conducting public business ?
Laudable enterprises are fine, yet they
need certainty of benefit behind them.
This ''let the future generation pay
for it" was the remark of a prominent
citizen and enthusiast some years ago
when our citizens were called upon to
vote on bonding the city for goodly
sum. 1t was carried, but neither the
man or his several sons have been of
the city some years as taxpayers. The
outcome cannot be regarded as howl
ing success or bowling failure, but
tgat for which the borrowed money
was expended has been regarded as
lacking and out-ofdate considerable
time before the loan was due to be
wiped out.
Wisdom and economy should be the
motto, and one lived up to, by all pub
lie officials, high or low. This is abso-
lutely necessary for the welfare of all
Hiking back to what was in mind at
the starting hereof, we get to the la
inevitable condition, so notably true,
that everywhere it is becoming more
difficult to get men of uuquestlonable
fitness to stand for Office Such men
are human, therefore may make mis-
takes, but not of the heart or through
intent; yet, no matter how trivial and
there's the bowling mob of
harrassing critics - the mo goods
wherever tried out. This the desirable,
the need man, will aim to avoid by re-
fusing public Office.
This condition may well account for
the fact that so many unworthy men
are elected and appointed to offices,
and why there have been so many scan
dies, so much extravaganza connected
with their administration.

WILLS HAS PUNCH TO
BEATIACK DEMPSEY
Colored Asprant to Heavyweight Honors Is only One
otPack Who Has Any Shred of Chance
= Against Jack.the.C Ciant.Kller
BY GRANTLAND RICE

,WE HAVE been asked. here and
w there. why Harry Wills would pro.
vide more entertainment in Dempsey
engagement than any other challenger.
Wills has two things in his favor which
no other challenger has. One is a
wallop that can upset even Dempsey if
II lands. The other is physical strength
that will hold its own.
DOTH Brennan and Carpenter cuffed
- Dempsey squarey On the jaw. and
yet the resulting damage was slight.
He showed no sign of diving in the
general direction of the resin. The
same blow from Wills undoubtedly
would knock Dempsey down, If not out.
Dempsey would have no trouble in
showing such men as Carpenter, Glib
bons or Greb around. He would have
an armful of trouble in out showing or
cut -tugging Wills. who is one of the
strongest men of the times.
nEMPSEY' advantage over Wills
II would come from greater speed. a
slightly harder punch and greater abil-
ity to take punishment. The blow that
might beat Wills wouldn't beat Demp-
soy. But for all that Wills has more
to match against the champion than any
one csc in the ring today. He Is the
only one who even carries the shred of
an outside chance.
Who's Next:
A : THE new season darted out from
"A under cover around January ] a
formidable array of champions began
to practice quick starts for various
defensive tests.
The first TO cave under was Ibyszko.
wrestling champion. who dritted out
of the frame in the wake of Ed Lewis.
an old titleholder.
In short while Jake Schafer must
trade merchandise with Willie Hoppe;
which means that another crown is in
danger.
Dempsey looks to be the safest Of
them ali. with Benny Leonard next.
Giants and Yankees are favored in
the two flag races. but neither is n
three. ply cnrh. This Applies TO the
Yankees more than TO the Giants.
Bill Tilden will be rated with a
slight advantage against Johnston and
Richards. but he will have his share of
trouble.
Those who face the highest barriers
are Barnes. Hutchison, Guiford and
Miss Hollins at golf. For they are
listed in game that is famous for it's
quick revcrsalS and its sudden shifts or
form.
Ii is only on rare occasions that
golfer repeats. where the odds against
any tiilcholdrr are at least seven to one.
