SPEAKING EDITORIAL.) Let us speak fora few moments upon the ethics of the case, forgetting for the time the exaggerated impor- tance Mr. Giblin and his backers assume him to occupy in the community. The public is not concerned, not even interested in ne per controversy upon a miscel- laneous collettion of collateral pgp ee = meee eet re- ports, alleged assertions, beliefs, dreams or im: with reference to candidates for, the may OER of ‘at Ca er, their friends or supporters. “So concerned, the public will be spared any such exhibi-, tion of. tank town procedure. Beclouding the issue is old stuff. Very old, indeed. An acknowledgement of weak- ness of the cause and a reflection upon” the intelligence of the reading public. What Mr. Giblin may think of The ‘Tribune or any one directly or remo’ tal’ connecietsietth it, is ineonse- quential to both The une and the public. The qual- ifications and fitness of Mr. Giblin, Mr: Veitch or Mr. Blackmore, to be the mayor of Casper are of much higher importance and entirely pertinent at this time. Ascribing deep eo plots, charging imaginary in- trigues and impossible coups d’etat.to others is not evi- dence of anxiety for the public good, it is simply the fears of the inexperienced who would themselves at- tempt such things did they possess the skill and ability for success.

EMBEZZLER IN OF ETHICS not change it. The color of somebody’s hair or whether he wears celluloid collars or pink pajamas is all beside the question. The public is not fooled nor will it be fooled by by-play. The people will drive straight to the point, under present circumstances, and get officers of known ability and integrity. In the aggregate they have the faculty of reaching conclusions as to who and what they want, with an accuracy that reduces the ego and humbles the pride. ‘-Bxperience"has-taught that campaign claims of at-"~ tributes not possessed can not be made to stick. It isa whole lot better to be modest and honest with the public. For beg: Shere already knows or will know, and you are spared that foolish feeling for having attempted deceit. Under the law and recognized rules, every man and woman of voting age in the city has the right to select his candidate and support him unquestioned by any other candidate or friend of candidate. The people are hiring servants. The servants are not selecting masters. - And as is customary in such circumstances suitability and ability to perform the service required are examined very closely. Overeagerness for the place does not always mean, necessity, ambition or distinterested motive. It is not considered good form in a city of twenty thou- sand people to parade about with a chip on the shoulder yinviting all comers to brush it off. In that number of people many of them will be able to accept the challenge and also make it stick. It is never a good idea to assume to represent any particular class or section of the people without their appointment. For instance the churches and the moral element of the community Have not selected any par- ticular champion, the poker players party has nominated no ticket, the bootlegger bloc has not. officially desig- nated any particular candidates, union labor has not authorized any set of candidates to conduct a campaign in its behalf. A majority of all of the people is still the rule. Minority factions are useful in the presentation of candidates, but the candidates must represent much more than a mere contingent and he who appeals to class and prejudice is not a big enough man to be mayor of Casper. Let the campaign proceed, in good humor and with- out rancor, so that at its close, neighbors may continue to be friends. The only object we have in view is to secure a mayor and three councilmen to conduct our pub- lic business in scpnorical and efficient manner.
