It is to be hoped that in the choosing of these important officers the people will have in mind only the good of the city. That personalities will be Jaid aside and that qualifications and fitness will govern the decision. A fifty million dollar business requires men of capacity to direct if. Men of proved integrity, of business judgment, of watchful- ness of public interest, men who can rept public trust and neither bet it themselves nor permit betrayal by others. If the necessity of having men in office who are aboye petty traffic and exploitation, is once fixed’ in the minds of the people, it is certain that they will inquire diligently into the character of-the candidates before they accord-them sup- port. It has taken some time to arouse the public to the fact that when they support a candidate merely because he is-a good fellow they do a thing against their own interest, for in about nine cases out of ten those good fellows lack the essential qualities to nlake efficient officers, and with their election there ensues a season of. extravagance, 4vaste and sometimes worse, from their lack of knowledge and lack of fitness and lack of business qua ations for the position they are filling. It requires experience, judgment, faithfulness and a great many other things to fill « public office acceptably, be the office big or little. Public office is no place for a dub. Public office is at no time a sinecure. It is never a place of large power and no responsibility and a person without conscience has no business even to aspire. Out of the array of candidates already announced and thos et to come forth, there is a fine opportunity for the people to secure outstanding servants to conduct their public business, Can't Overwork the Mind Sir Arthur Keith, the scientist, put his foot through an- other popular and absurd superstition, in an address at Ox- fofd university in England, t®e other day. He declared there ~is no such thing as a mental: breakdown caused ne overwork. Resorting to an American nicety of specch, he said “over- study.” It’s‘the bunk. The ordinary man could work his brain ten times as much, without danger of injuring it. There is a hun- dred times os much danger in using the brain too little; as too auch. Intellectual force is a principal element of the: soul’s life, and should be proposed by.every man as a principal end of his being. Thought is the fundamental distinction of mind, and the great work of life. All that a man does outwardly is but. the expression ,and completion of his inward thought. No man can be greater than his thoughts. To work effectually, he must think clearly, To act nobly, he must think nobly. Thought, intelligen s the dignity of man, and no man is rising but in proportion as he is learning to think clearly and forcibly. Building Requirements A survey by the Building Age and. National Builder, through various chambers of commerce in the United States, including reports from more than 700 cities and towns, states that in spite of heavy building operations we enter the year 1926 with the building situation still: over a year behind re- quirements. There is need for nearly 220,000 small one-family hou costing less than $5,000 and for 100,000 single. family houses costing from $5,000 to $10,000 and for new farm build- ings.! * Warrant Required lief, however well founded, that an article sought is concealed in a dwelling house,” says Justice Butler in a decis- n of the supreme court of the United States, “furnishes no justification for a search of that place without a warrant, and earches are held unlawful notwithstanding fa iguestior howing probable Search of a pri- dwelling under such circumstances is held to “be unrea- sonable and abhorren,” though “attention is directed to the fact that search of automobiles, wagons, ships and motorboats without a warrant, under the. prohibition law, has been sys- tained because such yelticles can be moved easi ym the jur- isdiction of the authority issuing the warrant, Search of a dwelling without a warrant,'{in ease of an arrest and incident thereto,’is sustained. A‘ New Suggestion The New York World, ardent adyoeate of ‘the entry of the United States into the league of nations, and. into the pagye court without reservations, or with as few as possible sugge) editorlally that, since the French debt conference at Wash- ington broke down the whole question of our debt from France, be referred ) impartial tribunal for settlement. That the United States accept what this tribunal recommends, as pay ment for the debt, and that,/rance agree to pay the sum named. Statesmen opposed to the entry of the United States into the league court are declaring that this is the opening guu of u drive to throw the debt question into the league court for adjudication. y are declaring that this is another reason why the United States should not adhere to the court. It is their belief that in regard to the debt question there are but iwo schools of thought, the American school which demands a fair payment; and the European school which is interested in sending as little money us possible to America. These states men declare further that in any tribunal, league court or other- wise, whieh n ihembership predominated, Une Sam would get se eration for his debt, and they cite this as-another reason why he should stay on his side of tlic Atlantic, Those opposed to the entry of America into the court de- clare also that the temporary breakdown of the debt nations here has strengthened the hands of the ‘inreconcilatfes and hurt the chances of the United States adhering to the court, Whether or not their predictions are true remains to be seen, fut it is at least certain that there will be an interesting Struggle oyer-our international relations in the Senate when congress convenes, and one which may become as memorable as the fight over the league of nations, Holland, Denmark, Switzerland and the other little na- tions of Burope who had sueh a tough time remaining neutral during the wi ) make up for it now with the consolation that they don't owe anybody and that nobody owes them, @he-CasperBunvay cite. ea ee ee eee 182 Cribtine Mr. Mokler Spurns the-Diadem a number of leading | professional men of On Thursda business and per, representing the most prom- inent and Influential civic organiza- tions of the city, walted upon A.

An Open Letter Editor Tribun: It was with the utmost satisfaction that I read: the announcement that C. HB. Litttlefield would become a candidate for the office of mayor of Gasper. At this particular time, when Cas- per seems to be at a crisis in the re- covery from its present business de- pression, it is alldmportant that a rd headed, conservative business 1 be placed at the head of our city government. I know that we will have such a man if we elect C E. Littlefield mayor, I have known Mr, Littlefield per- sonally and {n'a business way for many years and have alwzys’ known him to bo ‘fair and square. The success of his own business {s an example of his wndoubted executive ability and in all his dealings he has borne the reputation of a “square shooter” and a man of his word. When T say that Casper needs a Galbraith, Jr., Memorial Commission and of the Legion Finance Commit- tee. World Topics “That the most significant change in legal thought during this'‘genera- tion has-been the-more general real- ization that Jaw-is made by’man-to serve human interests, and ‘can and should be changed as those in- terests change,” is the bellef of Dr. Y. B. Smith, of Columbia. In a re cent address he sald, “The old the- ory of natural rights, the notion that there exists ‘immutable princi- ples of- justice which’ may. be discov: ered but cannot be made. has given way to the more modern conception that law is a device for social con. trol, and should be moulded to sult present day needs. “There may be. devices for social control,.other than law, which are better -adapted..to the accomplish: ment of a particular result, and which are.less costly in their’ oper- ation. . Therefore, the)matter of. s0- cial legislation. presents a three-sided problem. First. doés the protection of a-particular interest. justify the inteference with other . interests necessary. to the: accomplishment of the ‘desired result?._ Second, will the proposed law. prove effective to ac- dependable business man at the head of affairs during the next two years, I do not mean to cast any reflec- tions upon the administration of the outgoing mayor. Mr. Loy is a splen. did type of man and has made us a good mayor and we have had other good mayors, but we should get to- gether and put a good man in his place. Let's elect Littlefield.
