Although the annual municipal |
eltv ucuis aie ufiiy ten aays away ]
ana we a>e auuut to inaugurate 1
an entneiy new system ui p»o- .
ccuUi e in tne selection ol our ;
p. mopai municipal omcers, tnere 1
seems to oe tne same oiu apatuy t
011 tue pan 01 tne pubnc taut uas ]
at an times been tne most prom
inent mature ot local elections- 1
Gutsiue oi the few candidates i
wno nave announced themselves, i
togetner with a lew who are what I
may ue designated as “politically 1
inclined,’’ in tnat they are always
active in political matters, there 1
is very luue interest being dis
pm>ea. 1 ue gieat majority prob
aoiy coifoider that politics are
so.netiung in the nature of a
necessary evil, sometmng to be
got through with as quickly and
easily as possiole, and, conse
quently, give but little thought
to political issues or to those who
are placed belore them as candi
dates lor office. -Very few stop to
think, however, that in assuming
an attitude oi this character they
aie pernaps doing not only them
selves an injury out are also con
triuuting to conditions which
form distressing features oi our
political system.
It is in tms same apathetic ten
dency on tne part 01 tne general
public tnat machine politics, bos
sism anu general pouncal corrup
tion have tneir start and obtain
the food on which they flourish
and fatten.
In almost every case political
evils are the direct result of tile
failure of the general public to
take an active hand in politics,
thereby permitting political mat
ters to be guided and controlled
by a small number of people who,
needless to say, do not fail to
take advantage of the opportuni
ty to fix things up to suit them
selves. As a consequence those
who are placed in omce usually
do not, in any sense, represent
1 no ovtiiai cnoice 01 tne people,
ave in the degree that the people
elect them to office after they
have been selected by the few
who take an active interest in pol
itics—largely because it pays to
do so. it is hardly to be doubted
that in nine elections out of ten
the average voter has little or no
.lowleuge of either the qualifica
tions or the worth of the person
for whom they cast their ballot.
Indeed, this condition is so pro
nounced that, in many cases, can
didates are selected, not for their
capabilities, not for their personal
worth, but simply because they
can carry a certain class of the
voters. Many a candidate has
been placed on a ticket simply
because he could swing the Irish
or the German vote. The politic
ians who placed him there cared
not a tinkers hang whether he
was a lit candidate or not. They
needed the votes which he could
secure to further their own ends
•—ends winch, it may be easily
surmised, are not usually rooted
in a desire for the public weal
And all this is possible simply be
cause the general public give lit
tle or no heed to politics or poli
tical issues, aside from ; casting
their vote - for- the eandidati
which happens to be nominated
by the party to which they in
cline — without understanding
either its policies or aims. Such
a condition cannot but make for
bad government. To vote for a
man simply because he is a Ger
man, an Irishman, or an Ameri
can, or, worse still, because he is
a “good fellow,” as we do in
Nome, is not only the height of
foolishness but is also indicative
of a mighty poor quality of citi
zenship. The voter who casts
his ballot without knowing just
what he is voting for and why he
is voting for it is guilty of an
offense against the public good
Vet that is just what the major
ity of us do- We go to the polls,
make a hasty choice of candi
dates, cast our ballot and then re
tire, calmly assured that we have
done our duty. As a general
tiling all we have done is to make
darned fools of ourselves by vot
ing into /office those to whose
merits or capabilities we have
given no more than momentary
thought. That, however, is not
he worst feature of our attitude,
jur greatest fault is that we do
lot pay attention to politics at
lie time when policies are being
>haped and candidates chosen.
A e never think of such a thing
,s looking to see that men of
vorth, men of capacity, are
daced before the voters. We
;ive no heed whatever to the rais
ng of issues whereby the condi
10ns of our civic life may be im
,roved or the community benefit
id. We pay not the slightest at
ention to these things, thereby
caving it to the interested ones
o engineer things to suit them
,elves in the making of tickets
ind policies. They are always on
he job looking out that things go
o suit themselves, while the pub
ic, the ones who should be all
means be doing the choosing,
ontent themselves with accept
ng what they give. The result
s that the voters nearly always
iavc a chance to kick themselves
lard after the election is over and
the wisdom or folly of their
rhoice becomes apparent.

LARGE HYBRID SALMON
BRED BY PROF. SMITH
• Hybrid salmon, twice the size
of King salmon, have been bred
at the University of Washington
. by Prof E. Victor Smith, of the
department of zoology. Tie hy
brids are the result: of-the dossing
of King and Dog varieties and
Dr. Smith has found thjjy are
larger when the offspringof fe
male King and Dog male, rather
than the reverse.
More than 10,000 young King
Silver and Dog salmon are. being
studied in the campus aquarium,
and several thousand eggs ob
tained from the hatchery at Au
burn will be wriggling minnows
in January. These latter are of
both pure and crossed strains.
An attempt is being made to
determine the cause of the slow
growth of the salmon in the win
ter There are two possftde ex
planations, one the coldness of
the water and the other $ lack of
food. Young salmon are' being
put to the starvation test in warm
water, and others are being well
fed on ground liver and kept in
running water of unregulated j
temperature. The effect on the!
growth under both conditions'
will be observed.—Pacific Fish
