For Water Commissioner
It is understood that the Citixt-n'
party ci'iitittittre will name Peter
C.imre their candidate - for the
water cummisaion for the four-year
term from the Fourth ward, in the
stead of Xfr Peterson, who with
drew It is said to be probable that
Mr. Chore's name will also be pre
sented to the Republican committee
and it now appear as if he will be
the candidate of both these parties.
There seem to be some linht
question as to what precise qualifica
tion are required of a water com
missioner to make him eligible for
office. The old charter required that
he should be a taxpayer, 'and thin
phrase is interpreted by the charter
in this relation as meaning that a
holder of this office shall pay at
least $25 taxes. Unlesi this has been
repealed or modified by the charter
amendments adopted In !W6 It is the
taw still, apparently, and H may hsve
some bearing on the candidacy of
one or more gentlemen. The matter
will be looked Into by Mr. Aber
erombie, the city attorney.

SOME ENERGETIC DOINGS AT
THE CLOSE OF THE PHIL

striking features of the Philharmonic
concert Tuesday night was the rush

brellas with broken ribs, of the com

The mere men looked on in pain
d nelplcssn ;s '
Fine as is the new Athletic build
ing for concert! and other public
purposes, many discovered a fault,
which caused comment While th
exit is broad and open, the first tier
of steps from the top are dangerous
ly small that is, the steps are so
narrow that it is difficult to keep on
them. To make matters worse they
are not of the same width by width
is meant the surface extent across
the board that forms the step, and
not its length as the next tier of
steps. While the matter seems trivial
in the telling, actual experience seems
to denote that it ia a serious ques
tion. Probably three-fourths of the
people who were in the hall noticed
the narrow steps and found difficulty
in suiting thcir "gait" to keep on
them. Several did slip, and in case
of a hurried exit of a crowd from
the building the narrow steps might
be the cause of injuries and even
deaths. Fire Chief Foster noticed
the matter, as did many other men,
and while not the slightest blame is
meant towards those who so gener
ously constructed the building, yet it
is another illustration of the need of
building laws. Owners of . building
cannot be supposed to know of such
matters, but contractors " apparently
should, and with proper building
laws all such details would be looked
after and this would be 'a protection
to the owners of buildings as. well as
to the public.

AT LEAST ONE GLEAM OF
SUNSHINE IN THE COR
RUPT PRACTICE ACT.
"No person," says r the Corrupt
Practice Act, "no person shall de
mand, solicit, ask or invite any pay
ment or contribution for any relig
ious, political, charitable or other
cause or organization supposed to be
primarily or principally for the pub
lic good, from a person who seek to
be or ha been nominated or elected
to any office; and no such candidate
or elected person shall make any
such payment or contribution if it
shall be demanded or asked during
the time he is a candidate for nomi
nation or election to or an incum
bent of any office."
This is what might be termed a
sweeping law. It is cited as one of
the good illustration of the work
ings of the Corrupt Practice Act
A study of the act seems to show
that upon the whole it is, a most
excellent law, yet apparently marred
by such provisions as the above. The
section cited 'above was. evidently
drawn by politicians for the sake of
politicians and office holders. :
It make it unlawful to ask any
contribution from them. It is thus
apparently unlawful for any one to
ask Mayor Wise to give a two-bit
piece to any charitable or philanthro
pic enterprise.
.But-there is a gleam -of sunshine
through this page. . Happily some
one with a ray of humor in his soul
wrote the following "but this sec
tion shall not apply . . . to ordinary
contributions at church services."
Well ' may the persons draw a
breath of relief.
However, one may not give a
j reguir payments" to a church un-
less he shall have been a contributor
for wore than six months.
CANDIDATES LOOK FOR
GLEAN CAL1PAI8N-
MEET WITH COMMITTEEMEN
THIS KEYNOTE IS STRUCK
. , , BX MR. ELMORE.
' The city committee of the Repub
lican party met with the various can
didates on that ticket in the common
Council chambers last night and
talked over matters pertaining to the
municipal campaign.,
- In response to the suggestion em
anating from the committee that
citizens join in the meeting several
well known men appeared, and half
a dozen short speeches were made.
But it soon becme : apparent that
there were things to be considered
more or less of a private nature, and
that it would not be best or business
like to discuss them in open meeting.
Therefore it was resolved to go into
a private session, and at 8;30 o'clock
the candidates and committees met
together to talk over details of the
election.
Before the private session Mr. El
more and others had made short but
interesting talks. Mr. Elmore seemed
to strike the kaynote of the prevail
ing sentiment among all the other
candidates when he stated that he
"did not want to be elected unless he
could do so by entirely honorable
means, and by clean methods."
This sentiment was applauded, and
repeated by others of the candidates.
Apparently the effort will be made
by the candidates to carry on th
campaign as a business matter, and
appealing to the voters on business
grounds.
