Who shall be Bend'. next mayor? It is understood that Mayor David son docs not desire n re-election Who is to succeed him? It is an important question. During the coming two years, the mayoralty of Bend will be an important office. With the devel opment that is sure' to follow the building of railroads into this sec tion, Bend is certain to take great strides fotward. Many men with busiuess ability and much exper ience will be attracted to fiend as n desirable place in which to invest their capital. It is important that the man who sits in the mayor's chair shall be one who can meet these men and impress them with the fact that Bend's officers are pro gressive, broad minded and kble. During the city's rapid develop ment there undoubtedly will be applications for franchises and con cessions of like nature from the city. The best interests of the municipality require that the may or shall be one who, if it is possi ble to obtain one. has had some ex perience in city government, and a man with a backbone stiff enough to see that the taxpayers of the city are not imposed upon when fran chises and like concessions are granted. In short, we need for mayor a man vbo combine- exper ience and ability with progressive ness and rigid honesty. Who is the man?

It behooves those who have the best interests of the city al heart to see that efficient men are elected at the city election on December 7. When one considers the fight that Roosevelt had to secure needed legislation; when the pernicious ness of the late .tariff law is fully understood; when it is realized that congress ts apparently absolutely under the thumb of the trusts and protected interests; and when one stops to consider the graft and widespread corruption that is so common from one end of our coun try to the other, what hope is there for good government in either the republican or democratic parties? These two parties as represented by the men in authority, have been captured absolutely by the enemies of the common people. Congress is bossed and dictated to' by a band of buccaneers put there by the "predatory interests" and "crimin al rich." And republicans and democrats are alike guilty. What the nation needs is a "Labor" party, similar to the one in New Zealand by which men who have come up from the ranks and who still have a shred of honesty left in them may be elected to high office. Then perhaps the interests of the people as a whole will be looked after, and our congress will not be given up wholly to handing out graft and pelf to the trusts by means of extreme protective tariffs and other methods that are potbing but robbery. Socialism is too radical and its policies are too liable to re sult iu serious mischief to be adopt ed by a majority of 'voters. But tsere is a crying need (or a sew party whose aim is honestly to serve the country as a whole. Save the Trees. A matter of really grent impor tance, which is often overlooked in the building of new towns, i touched upon in a paragraph trom the Klamath Falls Evening Ileralu printed in another column ot this paper. It is the preservation of features of natural beauty. Once destroyed thev can never be restored. A lit tle forethought will preserve them to give those priceless little touches that please homescekers and make all the difference between raw new ness and homelike attractiveness. For years the city of Portland has been conspicuous for its beauty and l;o nelike character. It appeals to the professional tourist and the casual visitor as quite different from Spokane and others ot the boornmti coast cities. It seems to the Easterner to be quite F.asuru It is not raw, crude, irritating to those who like civilization or re pose. The difference is found in the trees more than any other one thing. It has plenty of trees while most of the other towns are almost destitute of such ornament. They are toe young to have grown large and ornamental shade trees. Spokane is a marked example 0 the folly that caused destruction of native trees, in the mad rush for clearing and platting the laud and selling town lots. A bird's eye view of that city is most painful in the lack of green relief which fine trees afford. It would be worth more than money to have preserved this ready-made beauty feature in stead of thoughtlessly and wantonly adding to the cheerlecssness of the scene by robbing It of nature's rob ing, which was never too plentiful there. Mere money crabbing Is not the chief end of man. Comfort'ng and cheerful surroundings add vastly to the pleasures of healthy living. The greenery of Bend's trees add more to the attractions of the local ity than most people appreciate, beauty and reduce the town to stiff and chterless suuictiesi, in the nb setice of clear necessity, would be not only niort tci-rctable vauduliMU, but nn off. use nvalnst tlio higher qualities of civilization which mnke some communities more desirable than others. If the towns which arc famous for their beauty were to be denuded of their trees their reputation would vanish at once. The parks are the beauty spot of nil cities; can one imagine them without their stately old tree? Look at Boston, New Haven, Princeton, Lexington the list h almost endless they are not afraid to have great onk!i aud elms and maples in the very middle ol their streets. Pasadena is a noted Western ex ample of a city which values its trees, many of which are in the streets and, moreover, are protected with massive chains iiid stone walls within which ferns wave aud flowers bloom to chaim all be holders. Even sidewalks and pave' ments must be built around them There is plenty of room also for traffic and the trees do add gran deur and nobility to the view, cast a grateful simile and hofteti the hard lines of the struggle for mon ey, and it is so easy to let them stay and serve as a benediction in our harried and hurried lives.
