Eureka News
TOWN ELECTION FILINGS
ARE COMPLETE

Nominating petitions have been filed
for the following:
Mayor: Walter S. Gibbons and H.
Mccullough.
Alderman. First Ward: Merlin Z.
Scott and Fred Knott, for the two year
term; and P. j. Zook and D. !. Robert
son. for the one year term.
! Alderman. Second ward: Fred Rock
and A. ]. Donaldson were unopposed
for the one and two year terms, re-
spectively.
Gibbons, Scott, Zook, Rock and Dom
aldson are present incumbents. They
have consented to being candidates
solely upon the insistance of their
many friends. Eureka has an applica-
ton for reduction in light rates pend
ing, and it is felt that change in
personnel might be detrimental to
this effort. The fact that none of the
present officers have any product to
sell to the town specially recommends
them for reelection, as no officer of
the town can contract with it either
as principal or agent.
Mr.. Mccullough is man with never
ending public interest He has COM
pleted several terms as school trustee
MIR. Mccullough is the manager and
chief owner of the Tobacco River
Power company.
Mr.. Knots supporters feel him well
qualified for the office He has never
before aspired for public office, al
though he is an old time resident of
Eureka.
Mr.. Robertson once held the office
of mayor. His term is remembered as
the hveliest and most excitina = the
history of Eureka.
It is rumored that there were several
other candidates, for whom nominating
petitions were ineffective to place their
names on the ballot as no attempt was
made to file them until after the statu-
atory filing period had expired

PROBATION OFFICER SOMETIMES
FINDS TERRIBLE CONDITIONS. !

M. r. Wood, recently appointed pro-
baton officer for this district, is en-
tering into his new work with much
earnestness and with a sincere de-
sire to accomplish at least some small
degree of good In conversation with
the editor Of this newspaper this week,
he stated that the general public would
be Mortified if it only knew of the
appalling moral conditions he has
found in altogether too many 4homes,
such as they are
The heart=sickening thing is the
depth to which some fathers and some
mothers will 60 in their degeneracy
while surrounded by their own small
children; and the surprising number
of such homes Frequently in these
sink-holes Of moral filth, there are
bright, pretty, intelligent children. And
sometimes these small children will sit
and tell the probation officer and other
officials of q moral degeneracy on the
part of mother or father that is
lower than any beast-hog- wallows Of
nastiness What an awful environment

SMALLER LEGISLATURES.

Why not smaller legislatures to re-
duce the cost of government? These are
days when our thoughts run to re-
trenchment and economy, and it would
seem that this might we'll extend itself
to include a reduction in representa-
tion in the legislature itself That such
an effort would meet with immediate
realization, is hardly likely, for rep
resentatlves willing to legislate them
selves out of office. or constituencies
willing to cut down their representa-
ton would be something new in the
ANIMALS of officialdom.
representation is the only argument
against such movement, as we see it.
and it would seem that such an argu-
ment might readily be overcome. il a
fair and honest redistricting, cutting
down the number of legislative districts
was presented to the people for their
consideration and action.
Each reapportionment has shown
population changes which have made a
redistribution of representation seem
logical, and has resulted in an increase
rather than decrease in representa-
ton We are firmly convinced that
every such increase in the legislative
body has tended to make it more un-
Wieldlv and less able to function
smoothly and in minimum Of time, to
say nothing of the increased cost to the
people Of such inereasenrepresentation
Now, when the WatchWord is economy
and a reduction of public expendi-
tures, and consequent lowering Of
taxes, il should be a good time for agi-
tation for action to decrease the num-
Der Of state senators and representa-
tlves. Such a movement might well be
extended to the national house of rep
fesentatives-Press, Norfolk, Nebraska.

A CHALLENGE.

Present unrest and disturbed condi-
tons have brought us face to face with
the problems of our own progress.
We have advanced far in science and
invention, most of all in the manufac-
ture of machines We find that we have
advanced beyond the mentality and
ability of the average person to prop
erly use to best advantage that which
we have made
We are met by a challenge.
Are we going to be controlled and
dominated by the inventions of genius
and swept off our balance by material
advancement, or are we going to use
these things for the betterment Of
mans condition?
| have no doubt of our ability to
control our inventions and harness our
material advancement to the best ad-
cantage-but we must go back to the
foundation of successful living so that
our social life may develop along with
our scientific advancement.
Whatever may be the progress Of the
world there are certain fundamental
principles Of life that must always be
observed to keep civilization from its
own ruin.
We must cease to some extent, the
worship of the god Of pleasure, and
curb our money-mad dispositions Love
must rule in the home for that funda-
mental institution to maintain its proper
position. Honest dealings between all
people must be the basis of trade and
fellowship to restore confidence now
lacking Collapse follows greed and self
ishness. All the virtues Of clean living
must be honored to prevent degener-
alton
We are learning anew these things,
| believe, but we had lapsed in our re-
gard for them because Of too much ma
terial prosperity. Our inventions and
scientific progress for time almost
overwhelmed us, but with the exercise
OF common sense we can keep in bal
ance our social, spiritual and economic
rs,-Reveille, Port Gibson, Miss.

TWO HIGHLY IMPORTANT
ELECTIONS.

Surely it isn't asking TOO much to
urge every citizen to vote at the two
coming elections the school election
on Saturday and the city election on
Monday.
In this little dissertation don't lets
talk about duty That is trite-passe
Apparently people no longer think
much Of duty in matters political
Let's approach the subject from the
angle of common sense.
Many people the world over are
convinced that democracy has fallen
down on the job. that our much
Wanted democratic form of govern
ment is. failure.
In Europe many peoples are throwing
democracy overheard and turning
government over to dictators. Thus we
have Mussolini in Italy, who openly
SCOTS at democracy and its failures.
We have Hitler and his throttling of
the German republic; we have our
Lenins and Stains. In the United
States, we find a congress that is ap-
parently too weak to function when
confronted by the perplexing problems
of the present day and that grants with
eager gladness dictatorial powers to
president-poWe unheard of before
in America.
What Is the meaning Of all this2 Has
democracy failed2 Has It failed TO
measure up to what is required Of it
in times of crises2
If it has so failed, one reason for
such failure can be found in the wide
spread indifference manifested by vast
numbers of people in matters Of gov
eminent. The tendency too often has
been to take little or no interest In pol
tics. Oh, its too much trouble. too
busy with business or other eeeupa-
tions; can't take the time, let some
one else look after that. The natural
result follows. Weak or incompetent or
dishonest men have too often been
elected to office. Naturally the fruit
age of their attempts at government is
disagreement
Now, it is just plain common sense
for the people of Libby-and every
community-to go to the polls and
vote next Saturday and Monday. I'm
questionably there will be some con-
tests different men will be contesting
for the same office. From the list Of
those men who are up for election,
certain ones must be chosen to en-
act ordinances that we must obey or
disobey, to spend our money wisely
or unwisely, to raise or lower our
taxes. Isn't it common sense then to
60 to the polls and have something to
say about who shall be elected to con-
duct our public business and spend
our money?
This newspaper is interested only in
getting the best possible government,
both for our schools and for our city.
Every good citizens desires the same
thing. Therefore, as we approach the
polls the only test by which we should
judge candidate should be whether
or not he or she is the best possible
person available for the position, and
vote for the one with the highest quail
ifications for the work to be done. Has
the person experience, training and
judgment to give the schools and the
city able and efficient administration?
Have they business sense and ability?
Democracy is sure to be a failure
unless the American people take more
interest in matters of government and
unless they vote to put the best men
and women in office.

Julius B. Smith Is New Y Head
Annual Meeting Held Last Nght-Dr Chas L. Larkin
 Is New Nce-Presdent

Julius B. Smith will serve the Waterbury Y. M. c. A. during the year 1933-34 as president, as the result of the elections held at the annual meeting of the Y. M. c. A. last evening. He succeeds Levi Wilcox who has served the Y as president since 1929. The new yice-president is pr Charles L. Lar kin. Seven directors were re- elected as follows: Chase Kimball, Herman Rooster, Harry c. Post, Julius B. Smith, c. Dana Tyack, Leon H. French and Edwin H. Jones.
 Theobald E. Conway was re- elected treasurer; c. Raymond Ganung and Emily E. Merriman were reelected assistant treasurers.
 President Levi Wilcox called last nights meeting to order promptly at 8:30. In addition to the election the main item of business was the talk by General Secretary Herbert $. Smith outlining the Y program and calling attention to various significant items of progress.
 The total number of members at branches. Average daily attend ance at the three building during the year was 5000. The total number of groups meeting during the year was 6.368. In arriving at that figure, MT Smith said that groups were counted but once. re- gardless of the number of times they met. Thus the board of di- rectors counts one in the grand to- tai but a club meeting 50 times a year is counted but once.
 MT Smith gave considerable time to a description of the selt-govern- ing clubs which have become a feature of the Waterbury. Y. M. e. A. There are at present more than 100 of these clubs, each run- ming it's own affairs. The clubs serve as character builders, MT
