Hiring Public Officials.
“In private business when an
employer hires a man he knows
just what the applicant can do
\ —whether he’ll be worth his
4 salary. If the employer doesn’t
^know, he finds out,” says the
Texarkanian.
“The same principle should
apply in hiring men for public
business. Just because a man i^
is employed by a number of peo
ple, instead of one, is no reason
why he should expect to have a
sinecure; just because he is
employed by the public is no
reason why he should not return
full value for the salary paid
“The time will soon be here ,

every honest effort put forth
among the people that I call up
on to elect me. I promise to
faithfully perform the trust
placed in me by your support,
and to endeavor to leave the dif
ferent counties in a better con
dition, both as to the enforce
ment of the law and financial
condition from court expenses
on the part of the State, or will
not offer for re-election at the
end of two years.
It will be impossible for me to
make a house to house canvass
of this district between now and
the 27th of March, when the pri
mary election will be held to
name your Democratic candi
date for this office as I will have
to look after the interest of my
clients who have already em
ployed me, but will try and be
ible to meet my distinguished
>pponent in a joint canvass, and
will employ men to handle th<
affairs of government for twc
years. Let the people apply tc
this duty the same principles
they would if they were individ
ually hiring these men. Ascer
tain if the applicant for a posi
tion is qualified to discharge the
duties thereof; make sure that
he will give to the position the
same conscientious service he
would if he were working for
you, individually.”

Candidate For
Prosecuting Attorney.
To the Voters of the Third Ju
dicial Circuit:
In announcing my candidacy
for the important office of Pros
ecuting Attorney of the Third
Judicial Circuit, I do so with full
confidence, that if I am elected
by the people, that I can fill the
position satisfactory to all, ex
cept the criminal element. My
motto, is, and will be if elected,
to enforce the law that is upon
our statute books against all
alike both small and great, and
, persecute no one. The moral
welfare of the people of each
county in this district, as well as
the financial condition of same,
depend upon the manner in
which your Prosecuting Attor
ney handles the state’s cases,
and the advice and assistance
given to the grand-jurors and
the court.
I don’t believe in frivolous in
dictments, and wjll do all I can,
if elected, tb assist the grand
jury in returning only such in
dictments as can be legally pros
ecuted to conviction before a
fair-minded trial jury, but do be
lieve m returning such indict
ments.

i A cement walk r/eplacing the old

improvement. '
There is even a, greater opportun
i ity for before-and\after schemes in
;he rear of the house than In the
'ront.
Not alone with woodpiles and
walks, but with many other backyard
‘features,” there is a scope for much
ingenuity. Rear fences have been
nade quite sightly by rows of sun
iowers, while the ever-present
jiothesline has been almost blotted
sut by the planting of a hedge. Few
.hings can compete w’ith the hedge
•s an effective method of screening,
and the fact; that it is something
which grows more beautiful with time
is a great argument in its favor.
There is naturajjly a wide range of
ihcice in what s^iall be selected for
.he hedge, and ora. this point there
ire many helpful bopks and magazine
articles. Some hedj£es are s^ow *n
■eaching that high\ thick growth
lecessary for a real\screen, others
nature more rapidly ®md make an
adequate protection in\a compara
;ively short time. For q\iick results,
without much labor and \ with little
>xpense, such schemes are V'^ll worth
iopying. \

the climax of the cold wave is
scheduled for tonight, when the
mercury is to drop to 10 degrees

that, which will break the re
cord of a week ago and in fact
all records since 1899. The low

government thermometer Thurs

Art Arcade for Carlsbad.
The project of an art arcade foi
Earlsbad, which has been for so man;
'ears a vexed question among tht
radesmen’s associations, is now mak
ng progress. The preparations hav«
teen published with noticeable energy,
Extensive earth and rock excavations
lave been necessary to make room at
me part of the Posthof Promenade
or the building, and it can now be
’een that useful work has been done.
>’he little booths which formerly stood
iere and gave an appearance of annu
tl fair were certainly no ornament for
,l:e most fashionable promenade
tmong the world’s watering places,
nstead of this medley of booths of all
jossible colors and styles a tasteful,
•oomy and stately building will nov
ippear, which will provide a worthy
lom'e for the creations of Carlsbad
ndustries, as well as those of natives
.nd foreign artists, thus filling a long
elt want.
