The whole idea of the plan {8 to make of the city meeting board meeting a minature city meeting. The members of the board are supposed to be representatives of the people of the wards. The vote of the ciiy meet- ing board is, in theory at lzast, a vote of the citizens. The importance of nominating the proper persons to become members of the city meeting hoard should not be lost sight of in the interest over the mayoralty or other elections. The city meeting hoard is the city. Tts action always is of supreine import- ance to the Good citizens should consider it a duty to be willing to represent their wards on this body. Notice of these caucuses is civen in the press. They should be attended by the citizens of each ward and the best men and women selected for the important positions. It hecomes the duty of the mayor, thereafter, to call conventions i: the respective wards. This call is publish- ed at least five days before the date of the conventions. At these conven- tions the registered voters of each ward elect members of the city meet- ing board. Those receiving the purali- ty of votes become members of the city meeting board. \ The attention of registered voters is called to this situation owing to a misunderstanding, not suyrprising be- cause of the fact that the city meeting board is a comparatively new institu- tion, which seems to be prevalent that the filling of a petition is necessary in order to become a candidate for membership in the board. No such formalify is required. To make the matter plainer be ‘it said that the caucuses are held mere- ly to facilitate the procedure of elec- tion. It is not necessary, even, that a person be nominated at a caucus in order to secure eclection to the board. A person may be elected to the city meeting board at the *con- * vention” called by the mayor, to be held not more than twenty days nor less than ten days before the annual city election, even though that per- gpn’s name has never been mengon- ed previously, in caucus or outside. Practically, however, it would be difficult to secure election at the con- vention without previous nomination, where a caucus had been held in that ward. The caucus idea is to give the registered voters time for discussion of the candidates, consideration of them, and an opportunity to nominate any number of persons for the vacan- cies on the board to be filled. The caucus is a wise idea, looking to order and calm judgment. Persons willing to become members of the city meet- ing board should signify their willing- ness to do so before the caucuses are held. This may be done in an ahso- lutely informal manner without filing any petition or making other arrange- ments for running. voters. SPRING “CLEAN-UP” Each spring the “Spring Clean-Up” is advocated, starts with enthusiasm, dwindles—and is finished the leaves begin to fall. Each spring words, more or obvious, are written and spoken ad- | vocating such action and urging en- thusiastic co-operation the part of the people. Each spring men and women decide sincerely to do things better than ever before—to put pep and into everything they do. Each spring procrastination vents fulfilment of the promise. The Health Deparment plans to start the spring clean-up campaign early this year. This is the first good sign that the spring clean-up may be “different.” It the people will begin now, today, to do the little necessary things pre- paratory to that clean-up this will be :he sccond good sign. ntengive” is a good word.

Here, therefore, is one case where the warning against the intangible preceded the warning against the tangible or physical. The fact is an in- dication of of the former—the warning against the aug- menting of the spirit of communism here—in that it was noted and guard- ed against before the usually emphasized physical danger was mem- tioned. A failure to heed the warning against the physical danger implant a seed of discase here which might flourish forever. A failure to heed the warning against the danger might bring destruction to the peace of the country. the significance more would other MRS, McCORMICK'S ERROR Edith Rockefeller McCormick has made a grievous error. Her ingenuity of mind her compari- sons striking; her subject a di: fascinating. Nevertheless it is see one so intelligent fall into s common mistake . “If a woman marries outside her own clan or tribe,” she is reported to havesaid, ‘'she'll a slave. History proves it. In olden times,” she goes on, with evidence of great “if a man were hored with the women is admirable; be research, of his own tribe he went and stole a wife from another clan.” Mrs. McCormick should remember that the men in those days thought the only avenue of fun open to them was stealing wives, while today the reformers have left men the movies and tiddledywinks. Morcover in those days the wives did no stealing of husbands; today cynics say it i§ a case of fifty-fifty. In those days the husband's clan the clan; today the wife brings her with her if she wants to. Briefly Mrs. McCormick forgets that in those days the man might have said truly, in the strange language of his time: “Wot I says, Goes!"” today, when the woman says, the man Goes. chess, wife's clan became ALL VETERA “DISABLED” There is an angle to the bonus proposition heretofore practically un- considered. There is one statement to which all will agree. The country believes in taking the best of care of those who fought and who are suffering physical- ly from the effects of the war. The country believes in trying to restore all “disabled” veterans to their normal condition if possible. Few men, the most cold blooded, would dare stand before the world say to the shell-shocked veteran: “We can do nothing for you; the country can't afford it. It will hurt my business."” Granted, even and then, that the country would help those injured in mind and body by the war, the question arises who were so disabled The Associated Press reports that physical examination of regular army officers now in progress has disclosed “the most clear-cut evidence of physi- due to the “strain of the according to a medical cal deterioration,” incident to the world war,"” memorandum in the hands of war de- partment officials based on reports from examining officers is found abnoramlly high normally low blood pr other symptoms of nerve strain.
