But there is a lack of moral energy somewhere in the body politic of" the city officials evidently, because there are flagrant fences against good order and sobriety, and tLcse serious matters are passed over ami no one seems to know why. the and pursue the" artiesorrpunislied, same or sirniliar evil practices. And so crime and vice multiplies and r the people submit for the time being because forsooth they. see no redress that seems available. "And yet the avenues for economic administration, of local civil government are all open,. and there seems no good reason for neglect of duty on the part of those in power. The people have ecome weary with the lack of .discipline, and surely after the efforts now, being made the people will put a non partisan ticket in the field that can be supported by a large majority, among whom there should be the new voters (the women) who almost without exception are anxious for a decided reform in the management of city affairs; they are not willing that saloons" should be open on Sunday, not even the back doors, nor that liquor should be sold to boys under age on any day in the week, or cigarettes either. The habit is terrible, and yet these very things are done, and the offenders go unpunished. So-long as good, honorable, upright -- men -- and - women absen t fhemsel ves frcmr trfe primary and excuse themselves on the plea pf lack of time or because so many bad men go and "pack" Jhe primary, just so long these evils will exist; but if on' the. other hand good, honest men and women go' to the primaries and stand tor the rights ofithe citizens to good government there might' soon be a radical change, and that eleccoming change should be made at this -v ; tion ;in November.
