A Good Mayor and a Good Council Good municipal government under the fed

era! system, such as we have in Richmond,

depends primarily upon a good mayor and a good council. A good mayor, handicapped by a

small-calibred council, can accomplish nothing. The present mayoralty race has crowded con

sideration of the merits of the candidates seeking nomination for the city council into the

background, but the public good demands care

ful selection of these nominees, which voters should not overlook when they go to the polls

next Tuesday. In the city council originates all legislation,

It is the only place where ordinances governing the administration of the city can be introduced

and : acted upon. All financial measures are de cided by this body.

If a city council is made up of incompetent men, who sacrifice the welfare of the city on the altar of their caprices and whims, and block and

hamper meritorious measures out of sheer mal

ice and opposition to the executive branch, the best devised plans of the most competent mayor

are doomed to defeat.

The feud between the present executive and legislative branches of the city, probably suggested and fomented in certain quarters by persons who wanted to make capital out of a situation, shows how disastrous to the welfare of the city can become a lack of harmony and co-operation. ". Just as a mayor through his power of veto is a check on-the council, that body through its power to' deny appropriations and to pass legisla-

- Ain't it a Grand and Glorious Feeling!

Since these two branches of our government

are mainly responsible for good administration, it is highly necessary that not enly the mayor be

a man of superior attainments, but also that the council be composed of men of vision and of

practical experience, and withal both of them

should work in complete harmony for the attain

ment of those objects which make for the public

good . and contribute to the happiness of the citizens. -

The honest effort of a mayor to provide an economical administration may be frustrated by a city council which passes extravagant measures, or foolishly adopts policies that will cost thousands of dollars without resulting in commensurate good for the community. The reason why many incompetent and

narrow-minded men are elected to the city coun- j cil is because citizens usually refrain from scanning carefully the list of candidates seeking the nomination. Just as much careful and painstaking scrutiny should be given to the qualifications of a councilman as is devoted to the merits of a man or woman seeking to be nominated for mayor. If a mayor, in a broad sense, is a manager of our municipal corporation, then the council is a board of directors. And applying the comparison further, the voters should be just as careful in making the selection of these officers as are stockholders in picking a board of 'directors for a purely commercial enterprise. The voters should remember that their selection on next Tuesday determines the make-up of the city council until 1926. The nomination of men of narrow vision, given to bickering and backbiting, and lacking the ability to co-operate harmoniously with the executive department in determining and carrying out a progressive municipal program, means a poor city administration, continued high taxation, endless friction and controversy. Voters should select good councilmen to back up an efficient mayor".

TODAY'S TALK

By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can",

Take It", "Up"

THE JRIPENED MEND The world keeps unfolding all the time. But it Is only the ripened mind that is able to see the Increasing worth in all things. Even at times when great truths stare us in the face, we cannot see them. As we awaken Into maturity, however, the veils of so much misunderstanding and ignorance seem to be lifted, clearing our vision. There is something very satisfying about things that are ripe but there is nothing to compare with the ripened mind, with its fullness of wisdom, its marvelous appreciation, and its ability to go into the furthermost parts of the earth, as well as of time. And one of the besUthings about the ripened mind is its reach for people. For the mind is nourished by what it gets-irom other minds. In fact, it bounds from mind to mind like a. bee hunting its honey, seeking the choicest nectar from a world of sources. The ripened mind is slow to anger and very quick In its forgiving. It is the embodiment of vast growth and experience. And the more mature and ripened it is, the simpler it is in its life. Just as the ripe fruit wants to be plucked waiting to give all that it is from all that it has been able to gather so the ripened mind Is a generous mind. A mind has to be fertilized just the same as the things of nature have to be. You must use every opportunity to Improve your mind, to make it more an ally to you. And then it will keep re-enforcing you in all your plans. You must keep out destroying thoughts from your mind. You must keep gashing it to drive away the destroyers, just as the tree man and fruit man must keep spraying and washing away the enemies of his foil that perfect, ripened fruit may result. And then, too, the ripened mind is so much happier than any other. Because, being so full of all that it has absorbed, it feels a bursting desire to give. And that is the greatest thing about a ripened mind.

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON

MY MAP My face is not surpassing fine, but

it's the only one I .have, and I won't

try to make it shine with paints or

unguents or salve. A friend of mine had small repose, he worried much by day and night, because he had a crooked nose that tapered gently, to the right. He spent about a hundred bones with beauty doctors and their ilk, who told him, in caressing tones, they'd make his beak as fine as silk. And now his lonely watch he keeps, a soul of peace and joy bereft, and when he sees his nose he weeps, for now it. tapers to the left. My aunt once had a lovely face, her face like lilies kissed by dew; but paint and powder she

applied, to be in line with all the crew. She doped her face with liquid wax and kalsomine and Magic. Spray, and now she is a battle-ax who makes the horses run away. My nose and chin are all askew, my countenance is harsh and plain, but I just leave it where it grew it doesn't cause me

any pain. My whiskers form a brindled hedge and oftentimes obstruct tho

view, my moles and freckles stand on

edge, one eye is green, the other blue.

But when the beauty doctors come,

and ask to reconstruct my map (for

which they'd charge a princely sum),

I tell them I'm not such a sap.

Voight was the false "Captain von Koepenick," who in October, 1906, gave all the world, and Germany, too, much merriment as the result of a trick played . on the authorities of Koepenick, a small town near Berlin. Voight, an undersized shoemaker, was parading the streets of Berlin Oct. 16 in a uniform of the captain 'of the guards when he met a detachment of 12 soldiers. He produced a forged order authorizing him to take command and the men recognized his authority. He then ordered them to march to Koepenick, where they arrested the Burgomaster, Herr Laugenhaus, and the Treasurer and took possession of the cash, $1,000. Voight explained that the government had dis

covered irregularities in the municipal

administration. Voight detached some of his men to conduct the prisoners to Berlin and ordered. the remainder to hold the Town Hall half an hour. He then rode cfl alone. Voight was arrested 10 days later. He was convicted and sentenced to four years imprisonment, but later he was pardoned by

Then You Have Something To Learn Thousands who have piles have not learned that quick and permanent relief can only be accomplished with internal medicine. Neither cutting nor any amount of treatment with ointments and suppositories will remove the cause. Bad circulation causes pile3. There is a complete stagnation of blood in the lower bowel and a weakening of the parts. Dr. J. S. Leonhardt was first to find the remedy. His pre
