THE CITY ELECTION TOMORROW Tomorrow, citizens of Springfield will go to the polls and cast their ballots for city election for the ensuing term of two years for the mayor and two couucilmen, and one year for the recorder and treasurer. The campaign, fortunately, has been a short one, and The News has purposely refrained from publishing any cam paign gossip in order thtt there may be less to forget after the campaign is over. No great moral issue has been involved, and the election hangs entirely upon the selection of the best men to fdl the various city officials. Since it is a matter of selecting men, not issues, is naturally follows that the quali fications of the men will be enquired into, and upon the quali fication each voter must pass judgment for himself. The news editor has settled the question in his own mind, and he can see how others, argueing along other lines, can reach a different conclusion, and yet be as honestly satisfied that they act for the best interest of Springfield. City officials are chosen to attend to one branch of the activities of the town. The school board and the commercial organizations also have activities to attend to. All of these have duties to perform toward the public, and it is the business of all to do what is best for the interest of the whole town. The institution at the front now is the civic administration, and it is the duty of every citizen to study the qualifications of all the candidates well, and then vote in the manner which, to his mind, will bring the most efficient government to the people, in a way most agreeable to the people.

Sikes, Prop. Phone 22 An item in a Eugene papers states that 2070 persons were counted attending the public market there between D:00 and 11:30 one day recently, and the comment is made that nearly one-fourth of the population of Eugene was there. If we may judge by the stories we hear on this side of the river, a goodly portion of that 2670 was composed of people from Springfield. And these same people would be very Classified Ads For Sale, Rent, Wanted, Etc; TAKEN UP Twelve TieatTof MOTHER'S ALMANAC I tell you when It comes to dates, My mother's Just "the boss!"

Yes, they would make an awful howl about Eugene and her unfair treatment of Springfield. And yet, here they are, annexing Springfield to Eugene, commercially, by every dollar they take to the public market there. Of course Springfield will prosper in a measure as Eugene porspers, but not nearly In proportion to what it will if Springfield dollars are kept circulating in Springfield as long as possible. The News finds this curious quirk of trading in Eugene, and preaching "Springfield for Springfield," illustrated in its own business. Periods come when the local merchants, see ing so much business going to Eugene, lose heart, and cut out their advertising in the News. And then, if the News ac cepts Eugene advertising, as it frequently is asked to do, there is considerable adverse comment. Now, Mr. Reader, and Mrs. Reader, if you want to give The News a bit of encouragement to "whoop it up for Spring field" just patronize the local merchant and give him a chance to advertise his wares through The News. the same and pay pasturage within one week, or the ani mals will be put in the city pond.

THE DEEP INFAMY OF WAR Portland Telegram: All in the course of duty five or was it ten fine, upstanding German gentlemen of the imperial army were called out to kill a lady. One lone defenseless wo man was murdered by the squad, all in accord with the rules of war. What ignoble heritage of war has fallen to each member of that firing squad What sort of conscience must each man carry beneath the drab of his German uniform All in the line of duty, but how dehumanizing Was there any thought on the part of any member of that liring squad of the mother he had left at home, the sweetheart, the sister or the wife? It does not seem that there could have been or no man of them but have declined the functions of military murder, thrown down his gun and accepted the consequences. Was there any thought about what this woman had done, and why the squad was required in cold blood to kill her? Was there any consciousness on their part that the cause waa patriotic loyalty, just exactly the high attribute required of them as due their country and their emperor? And yet, considering the origin of diabolism we can hardly belelve that the system suggested by it, and supposed to be directed by the devil himself can; match tin inhumanity that under the rules of which this young woman was mur dered. We concede -to thp jdeyiltd inuch, the gentleman to demand that fiye or teji 65 any number of his imps should toll themselves off to serve in' tho'murder of one weak helpless woman.
