Nominate men for public office whom you would not Hesitate to place your personal business in their hands if you desired it care- fully, capably and consistently at- tended to. If the rule is followed there will not be much doubt as to the calibre of those who will fill official position. We have no patience with the people who are always ready to ,wry "graft" but we are decidedly in accord with those Who desire to note progress- iveness and permaneey on the part of those who sit at the Municipal Boards and hold intimafe connec tion with the affairs of the tax- payers. There is ample room for a deeper interest on the part of the thinking public in these matters and crowded nomination meetings, with helpful suggestions and words of praise when deserved, are among the ways of showing it. Permit us to suggest that a very, appropriate Christmas gift to the absent member of your family would be a subscription to The New 'Era for 1911. For the small sum of $1.00 you will live vividly in their 'memory at least 52 times and re- ceive many a "thank you" for your practical Santa Clause action. You are not always very regular with your correspondence remember but we will guarantee to prove "John- nie on the spot" if you intrust us with the pleasant privilege of help- ing you out.
