Reg ister complaints before 8 o'c!ock, <E- Rift in the Municipal Lute The city government a display of itself concluded that «d¢ ahead of time this y - If'we had men in office who had a clearer conception of public busine than is ap) “nt in travsactions of the early part of the week, things might be different. But alas! And then again, A The whole situation arises from the careless election of public servants. And for this the general public is to blame. Tf voters would exerci judg ment in the selection of public officials, instead consider: would I more orderly and more economic administratéon of the affairs. s no fault in the election ma- chinéry, the fault is in the thoughtless: ness of the electors. The machinery is built to produce perfect results. When the people learn the importance of picking «competent and qualified men, then, most of the troubles will end. There seems to be a conflict of au thority between the mayor agd— the council, or rather three member of the council who have shown a disposition to exceed their authority and usurp th prerogatives of the mayor The city government is patterned very closely after the federal govern ment system. Three co-ordinate branche. utive, legislative and judicial. It is based upon constitutional authority derived from the state, supplemented by ordinances of its own, not in con flict with basic law and statute law of the higher authority. The powers and duties of the several branches of the city government are defined by the state and by the local government itself, for their guidance in the administration of the publie busi ness. It is strange that any conflict should arise in matters so ex itely set forth In the present case, the legislative body of the city, or rather three mem bers of it, sought to suspend or dis: harge the chief and captain of police, for what seemed to them good and suf ficient } reasons, and wel charges of inefficiency*and in office. ix making quite snd citizens have s have set in ious, we OX« misconduct These members did this by simply assuming authority not vested in the legislative branch of the city govern ment, but resting wholly with the execu tive branch, which is the mayor. These police officers ppointed by the mayor, under whose jurisdiction thes remain, under the power de ed to him by the laws and = o nCes, Under a like authority the council cen firmed the officers.

These to | council, This formality, in its proper aspects wags not observed by the three members of the council who ¢ red t rid of the chief and captain of p But they moved to suspend the officers while an investigation of the charges against them was being heard. From a parliamentary standpoint the motion was out of order as well as the method, and should have been sq de clared by the mayor, who was presid ing. A motion to adjourn, with a par lia itary tangle ensued. 1 rless of what the record council showed, the mayor restored tl duty and at a ib the council for council absence of ini through im upon proper originated in the officers to meeting of so not th members, And thus the matter rests. The ob jecting members proceeded in a wholl) illegal manner, and will have to bi up and etart the show all over The city government has been runnin; sustained | tion. Especially in the police and en; gineering departments and the forces of both should have been cut long ago. {t is said that city funds have been de- pleted to such extent that the city is compelled to obser) greater economy if it hopes to get through the year with- out deficits. In this matter both mayor and council are to blame. The revenues of the city are fully sufficient for all reasonable expenditure, and it is nothing more or Jess than poor business judgment and management that the city finances should pull up short at this time. And on the other hand the spectacle of disagreement between the mayor and a portion of the council is mere boy's play and disgusting to the taxps who foot the bill The Ways of LaFollette When Senator LaFollette came public life in into Wisconsin he was sup- ported by Stephenson, a rich lumber- man, who stated he furnished altogeth- r $500,000, for election purposesfor the senator. If any other candidate had the benefit of this expenditure LaFol- lette would havq denounced it as a corruption fund. As a part of the bar- gain Stephenson subsequent!) senatorial colleague of LaF they split becanse Stephenson ould: not endure LaFollette’s torial ways. Senator LaFollette decries the use of money in campaigns.» He himself was the beneficiary of enormous penditure and is even now appealing for a five miMion dollar campaign fund. Phe se list alliance has pledged a half million which will be secured by assessment upon members. Senator »liette is supported — by ds, Hillquit, the socialists and the radieal syn ists of the country.

Senator letie’s attitude and ut- terances were of s character that he was tried by the United States Senate and would have been expelled for d loyalfy but for the fact that a promi ent senator, now dead, was anxious to remain chairman of one of the promin- ent senatorial committees afd as the complexion of the senate was close, he made a deal with LaFollette and thus ed LaFollette from expulsion from United States senate. Such a charaectr as’ Senator LaFol lette has no r nt to become president f this nation 1d the members of the expeditionary and ex-service men generally and their friends and sympa rs Should certainly rise up and de nounce him for -his disloyalty, It was natural that the followers of such a min ax Senator LaFollette, represent- ing his own state of Wisconsin at the Republican national convention, should refuse, they did, to stand up when the Star Spar d Banner was sung. The most serious rt of Senator La Follette’s ‘program is his attack upon the constitution and the bill of rights. The right of free speech, free press, the right to worship God you see fit, the “Lantly che to. Congress thus could take away from everybody the right to worship God according to the dictates of one’s conscience; and this right of which we lrave long boasted would be wiped dut and be no Jonger a right but a privilege subject to the will of an arrogant ma- jority: America would be reduced to a condition of bolsheyist Russia and the American constitution and the bill. of rights, our charter of liberty, would be abrogated. In other words, the con- stitation would ‘be scrapped and the bill of rights for which our Angto-Sax- on ancestors fought for three centuries would cease to be. a Echoes of the Sixties Addison G. Proctor, the last delegate of the convention which in “1860 chose Lincoln, was an honored guest at the Republican convention in Cleveland. It is of significance that the New York crowds for a moment cheered a visitor who had sat in the Democratic conyen- tion of 1868, but that the reception was soon ended. ‘The Democratic veteran had some in- teresting stories of New York as it was in his early days. He spoke of the con- vention arrangements, of the old parks and steamboats of a city that was hard- ly accustomed to the ocean cable and had not, yet attained to rail connection with the Pacific, No doubt a historian would like to talk with the war horse of long-gone battles. A young reporter could learn a great deal from him. Young me er to see the latest auto- mobile might like to hear him speak of Le omnibus and the stage coach. But every Republican is proud of iso. The Democrats ‘are not proud of Is6S and there is no reason why they should be. If their campaign of that Year Was flashed out on the dilms it would embarrassing.

It will be noted that former Mayor Thomp- son of Chicago is hailed as a powerful right of women to yot Ul the rights of the colored people under the 18th, 14th and 15th amendments, the right of pe. tition, the right of trial by jury, and other rights we enjoy, are today ‘consti- tutional rights and cannot be taken from us by congress or even a majority of the people. America is America be- cause of this condition. Senator LaFol- lette proposes to change all this by an act of congress that would override a decision of the supreme court. An act of congress could take away the right of women to vote under the 19th amend ment, The court would declare this mm constitutional, of . course; Congress ould then re-pass the act according t he LaFollette program, and this would verride the yur ion and = de prive the women of their franchise.

But though in this way the election laws may be complied with, the outward label will not pre- vent cleareyed c'}titens from seeing what is beneath it. The Democrats and the Socialists are quarreling over the doubtful honor of being first in opposing observance of Defense Day. The honor may be ap- propriately divided, fifty-fifty, andl both. will be satisfied. If the misfor. tune befalls that either of these parties are placed in power, thereafter there will be no occasion for national De fense Day. ‘There will be nothing worth while to defend. The difficulty of adjusting railroad sates according to the value of the com- nodity is illustrated by the recent rapid idvance in the market value of wheat. No transportation system could adjust its rates as rapidly as that. | + Che Casper Daily Cribune : f - Held Two. Jobs : By ELDEN SMALL During the public cfreer of Hazel S. Pingree, the stormy petrel of Michigan Republican polities for several years, he aroused bitter controversy by refus- ing to resign as mayor of Detroit after his ‘election as governor. of the state. He insisted that he might fill bogh of- fices till the expiration of the respect: ive terms, and it required a decision of the supreme court to declare the city place vacant. ~ - ‘But there was a precedent of sorts for the remarkable action and declara- tion of. Pingree. No less a personage than John Marshall served for a brief period in two much more important of- ficial positions—secretary of state in the Adams. cabinet and chief justice of the United States supreme court. The dual incumbency lasted the few months that finished out the Adamy term, and hence his own term as a cabinet officer. Perhaps most prized public office in ths country, the chief justiceship has sometimes been hard to fill. Jay and Elisworth both gave it up to become ambassadors; Rutledge, a recess ap- pointee, failed of confirmation; Associ- ate Justice Cushing was named and confirmed but declined the; place, and John Jay did the same thing after. his diplomatic service closed.
