We believe In the rule of the peo
ule. whether tlwir rule, suits us al
together or not. There ought to be
some changes In the laws relating to
suffrage, but until those changes lun
been made let those who have n leg
al right to decide matters of govern
ment do so In aa simple anil direct
in a tmer as possible.
There ahould be no opposition in
DM legislature to the bill for regu
lating the distribution of habit-forming
drugs and Intended to stop their
sale to dope fiends. The indlse rim
Inate uae of the drugs at which this
measure la aimed is a demoralizing
and destructive evil, producing con
ditions far worse than ensue from
excessive indulgence in Intoxicating
liquors. The drug fiend Is a menace
to society. The habit destroys mind
and body. There ought to be no
doubt about the passage of the pro
posed law. -Sidney Telegraph.
The ll. raid's subscription list hi
doing very well, thank you, very well,
indeed. Taking new subscriptions
for the paper now la a good deal
like rolling off a log It doee not re
quire much effort to do It. We ex
pect people to believe what we aay
in regard to subscriptions, aa well as
other matters; but if there are any
who doubt It, they are Invited to call
at The Herald office, Where they
can secure evidence enough in re
gard to the prosperous condition of
the subscription list to convince the
most skeptical.
The Herald believes It should make
a brief mention here of one of the
two candidates for city clerk, having
previously given the other candidate
a complimentary mention. Leonard
K. PUklngton hi an industrious young
man of good habits, and la well qual
ified by education and business ex
perience for the office of city clerk.
He received his education in the Al
liance city schoolB, having nearly
completed the High school course
when he quit school to work In his
father's feed store. He Is a good
penman and has the other qualifica
tions necessary to properly die
charge the duties of city clerk In
the event of his election
It Is not necessary for The Her
ald to say much In regard to the
three candidates for mayor, as the)
are all well known In this city. We
will say this, however, that we be
lieve that either of them will, if
elected, discharge the duties of the
office to the best of his ability. As
to which of them Is the beet quali
fied la for the people to aay, which
tiny will proceed to do next Tues
day. The question is being frequent
ly asked. Who will be elected mayor?
It's a difficult question to answer, of
course, la the present unsettled
state of city politics. The friends of
both Rodgers and Snyder are claim
ing victory, while MoComiick be
lieves he will hold hla vote of last
year and add many moi . to It, in
which case he will be In the running
strong with a good chan e of winning
out.

The bazaar held in the opera house
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
of thiB week by the ladles of Alliance
wiia a much bigger success financiall
than was anticipated. The receipts
for the three days amounted to ap
proximately T00. The exact amount
of the expense has not yet been fig
ured up, but there will be a great,
big balance left for the benefit o'
St. Josephs hospital.
Twenty-five or more ladles took
part in the work and everyone of
them deserves credit and a share In
the praise for the big success of the
venture. Everyone helped, for it
was a public affair. The stocks at
the different booths were pretty well
sold out, very little remaining.
The meals served were delicious
and the average number aerved at
each meal was over 100. The food
was dellclouely cooked and served in
fine farhion. A -dance was given
each evening and the floor whs well
crowded each evening. Seldom has
an affair of this kind In Alliance
been as fruitful of good results as
this one.
The Methodist church was packed
to overflowing Sunday evening to
hear the wonderful cantata, "Con
quering King", by Wilson. First on

reading and prayer.
First was the Introduction organ
prelude by Miss Anna Bernhardt, or

ty". This Included an obllgato solo
by Mrs. Philip Nohe. Next was a
ladles' quartet, "Zlon's Daughter,

Mrs. Nohe and Nettle Nation. Con
tralto solo, "He Giveth Sleep" by
Nelle Acheson. Offertory on piano

from many of those who were pres
ent on his fine work. He should be
proud of the achievement
It was the privilege of the writer
to attend the Easter services at the
Episcopal church Sunday morn Inf.
We can truthfully say thai the hour
spent there during these services was
one of the most enjoyable we can
remember. The fine, new church
building, in which services were
held for the first time. Is thought
fully furnish d and well arranged. It
was packed to the limit Suuday
morning and standing room was
scarce. Every member of the audi
line gave rapt attention to the
wonderful musical program, which
shewed careful attention and singers
well selected for thi ir parts. Dean
Ware's sermon was delivered In his
, fore etui, interesting way. He is a
j man who holds the attention of his
I audience from start to finish and
I who talks to plain pejple in plain
language, .rter listening to one of
his sermons anyone can tell the
reason for his popularity.

So the People May Know
In order that the people of Alli
ance shall not be double-crossed,
bamfoozled or deceived, concerning
the coming Municipal Election fe be
held Tuesday April 1st, 191;:. The
writer being a candidate for the
Chief Executive office- of our city, I
feel that It Is my duty towards the
citizens of Allfance, at this time to
make known the policies I mean to
pursue if elected to said offi
It has been customary in the past,
for one or more groups of business
men to meet privately, make up and
foist upon the- citizens of Alliance,
tickets composeel of candidates, who
In their opinion the voters of Alli
ance would support without asking
any questions concerning the poli
cies to be pursued by saiel candidate?.
It Is my opinion tiiat the task of
running the business of a city like
Allianee Is more important to the
collective citizenship ef Alliance than
to one or more groups of business
men. or so-called political machines
or rings, such as have been the
dominant political forces in Alliance
for a number of years, much to the
disadvantage In my opinion, net only
to the business interests, but to the
taxpayers and workers as well.
It seems as though It lias always
been t ho ambition of some men to
secure political offices, solely to pro
mote their own private or afftllateel
enterprises or ambitions, using the
power vested In them by the people
to accomplish their purpose. When
such unpatriotic acts are resorted to,
the result Is always the same dle
isatiafnction and cries of graft are
.beard throughout the community. It
ds my opinion that a mutual feeling
and understanding should exist be
tween the business people and the
workers of a community In order
that the best result may be obtained.
When I consented to enter the race
for this office, 1 did so knowing and
believing that the citizens of Alli
ance knew that I was not affiliated
with. Interested in, or nnder any
obligations whatever to any corpora
tion or private business interests,
but simply Interested In the welfare
of Alliance and Us citizens and also
knowing that I could coonsclentlous
ly minister to the wants of Alliance
and her citizens in an honest and
Impartial manner.
Mr. Vaughan in speaking of his
withdrawal from the race, stated
that he had a nice little business and
that he could look after It better
Chan he could if he were mayor. Mr.
A. D. Rodgers, who has been draft
ed by a number of business men. as
reported In the Alliance Semi-weekly
Times, consisting of Metsrs. R.
M. Hampton, W. W. Norton, C. A.
Newberry, F. E. Holsten, W. D.
Rumer and E. H. Boyd, stated on
March 20th. 1913, that he also had a
business to attend to and that he
did not want the office und would
not work for It, but If he were elect
ed Mr. W. D. Rumer would attend
to most of the business. Such being
the case It is a source of wonder
ment to me (hat Mr. Rumer did not
run for this office.
Mr. W. O. Barnes the preseul In
cumbent accosted the writer upon
the street a few days ago to ask
whether or not I had circulated the
report that In the event of Mr. Sny
der being elected, that he was to be
given the superintendency of the
electric light plant, to which I re
plinl in the negative. He then stat
ed that such w is not the case, but
he had intended to muke applicant ion
for the position regardless of who
might be elect d anel that he had
only asked the indorsement of the
Kirn National Bank for the position.
From this it seems as though f lie
electric light plant is t'he bone of
contention between the two fac
tions, with the citizens of Alliance
standing In the backgrountl, as unin
terested spectators only. 1 have
heard It said that the eleetrie light
plant should be taken out of politics
but have p I board what disposition
was to b made of the plant if such
an event . liould be brought about.
I can but two ways of dispos
ing of :l. preposltion. First, Is
the iak tf the light plant out of
politics . :d placing H in the hands
of a pi . .i e citizen or corporation.
Second is the appointing of a com
petent electrician and business man
to look after the plant and run it
wiih the same degree of efficiency
as would be expected of him in the
event cf his being employed by a
private corporation. Tlie first man
ic run I disutsition of our elee trie:
j II ht plant the citizens of Alliance
'should Me 'lie utmeist c-sre to avoid.
! The se cond I would be In favor of.
j as It s-.-ems the only way by which
the citizens cf Allian e ran reo w
the- best results from their Invest -ii
. tit. and forever put down the
1 e ries tf graft.
I Another thing which It set ins w ill
ugaln be brought before the newly
: M'ted officials is the purchasing of
' a power driven, combination e-heini-j
cal and lice wagon which the AIM
ance fire- department and ejuite a
I limner of largj Insurance investors
I Alliance believe our city is in need
of. In this matter 1 heartily agree
with Hum. As I believe a city
covering the territory Allianee cov-
. ers with its hills and grades and
'the absence of tennis driving the
' light; it seems as though It would
I be a very good investment, as it
i would not only be M idditional as
surance against fire , ; net damage by
', water, but it would injure the fire
I boys getting there In a physical con
Idlticn that would enable them to put
'all thtlr energies Into the work cf
! fish ing the fire. As against drag
' ging the fire apparatus for a num
! ber of blocks anel reaching the- fire
in an exhausted condition and there
by epcsiug them-elves to the. wea
ther and other conditions that are
bound to arise ut fires. 1 knew this
to be a matter that should be of In
ures! to the taxpayers of Alliance,
as well a the fire boys, for I have
I bten one r.f the la ter lor about si
I years and can reallz the hardships
j to which they are tacpoeed, and al
j so the important part they play in
j the preservation of life and property
I In Allianee. This matter ot pur
chasing a fire wagon has been be
) fore the mayor and council of Ail
I ar.ee several times in the past two
I yearn, tout It seems there has been
I a hitch in the proceeding every
time, despite the fact that outward
ly all seems favorable toward mak
ing the purchase. This being the
case there are but two reasons I
can conceive that would block the
proceedings, one Is the Inability to
decide on whnt make of wagon to
purchase, and the other Is the ells
position of the commission to be de
rived from such a transaction. Con
sidering the fact that one Inusrance
agent stated that if Alliance had a
fire wagon, he would write Insurance
at a redueilcn cf 10 or 16 per cent
and ' others would do likewise no
doubt R seems from making a
rough calculation, that the money
saved the taxpayers in one year
would COref the cowt of the Invest
ment. Since starting to write this article
and during an lntorruptlrlast even
ing I w:m told In a positive state
nirnt by one of the constituents of
Mr. W. O. Barnes, that Hon. W. O
Barnes was back of'the Snyder tiek
et and did want the superintendent y
of the electric light plant. All this
I believe the citizens of Alliance
should know in order that, they may
chexse at the coming election, can
didates whom they believe will give
Alliance an administration free from
the influence of machine politics and
wherein corruption and graft will be
unknown factors, but will give Alli
ance an administration where jus
tice and equal opportunity for all
shall prevail.
In short, a government of the pcei
ple. by the people and for the peo
ple. F. D. McCOBMICK.
