notlco for tho other wnn rIvou, In
conformity with tho false' and fool
ish Idea of economy recently prom
ulgated in tho city council, by Hllck
fjiE tho notice on posts nud buildings.
Four bids woro HiihmUtcd and the
contract nwnrded for tlio construction
of tho worlt advertised In Tho Times,
whllo not n hIiirIo hid was rccolvod
In response (o tho other notlco.
dlly KiiRlucor (lid ley vIowIiir tho
matter In n practical wily from tho
ntnudpoliit of economy mid offlcjoncy
told tho rlty council plainly of tho
mistake It was iimldiiR In pursuing
ltn inlsiakoii policy of not publishing
uotlroH In uowsimpurH. It not only
occasions delayed and actual money
Ions but It also opons the way to
imsplclon or fnvorltlsiu and graft If
only ono or two contractors submit
bids becaiiHO of being notified by
aomo city official or by chnnco see
u posted notlco.
Tho posted notlco Is n rollo of tho
dnrk ngeH. The newspaper Is the
modern, twentieth century method of
publicity. It Is the ono great big
factor for the. dissemination of In
formation of nil kinds. Tlio iiowh
papor Iiiih been ono of tho moat
foreurul factors to tho reform mill
development of modern city govern
ment, removing It from tho grasp or
greedy, nnd grafty politicians and
making It n benoriolal servant of the
jteoplo whom It Is supposed to servo.
Publicity Is tlio greatest reforma
tory ugont In the world today. More
men are kept In tho straight and nar
row wny by rear of publicity than
feitr or tho police. Thero Is noth
ing so grimily reared by your crook
ed, grafting politician as tho news
paper that reports Ills actions mid his
vote on public affairs to tho people.
Thert Is not a week pssroh but
Tho Times has from one to n score
of 'oiiiiobIh to Ikcep certain iiowb
out or tlio imper. Mon who uro or-
restml and taken to the police court
hurry direct fiom the uvoidor's r
flco to Tho Tlnitm office to uh (bat
tho news of their arrent bo kept out
or Tlio Times. They do not euro
ho much for belli arrestml iin thai
tlio fact ahall bo published broadcast.
Tho TiuiM has only ono policy and
one answer ror riicIi raquiwtt a
