Kingston, Dec. 3.--(To the Edit- lor): Who will be mayor of King- ston in 1910 ? Ask any of the alder- men or city officials and they will | name. one man, but they will alo say | that he will not be mayor, but will | probably retire irom the council like many others with the question: {"What's the use in giving the city {good service ?"' The man who is really useful and conscientious in giving the city his time and invariably applying |the same methods he would use in a successful private enterprise will find that he makes more enemies than friends, that some one has been dis- turbed in a good thing and that when the votes are counted the alderman that followed a do-nothing policy, ex- cept an occasional grand stand play on some minor issue, is the winner. Aldermen get to the position of mayor on a single small issue like the coal oil question, or the vaccination issue--things of themselves of no im- portance. On the other hand the man that sells coal or bread or something else and gives a dollar's worth for the same price as others in the business, cannot be mayor, no matter how good his council record may have been. It so happens that the successful business man goes to council with the idea that he can apply the same methods for the city benefit. He looks aboul and starts some changes | where more work will be performed, | with labor or a little re-or- | ganization will improve the service and cost less. He disturbs somebody [with a good thing and starts a force |against himself on election day. He takes a stand on some question, like {the reduction of license movement, land at once has either the whiskey or [the temperance people aiter his scalp. {His only chance is to guess the side {that will deliver the most votes. | At present representative temperance | advocates advise selecting a council | that will vote this way. The alderman {that has given many years of his | time in unselfish service to the city is to be turned down because he votes {that next year's council deal with {next .year's. business, and the good | men will be retired without evén a | thought of the many unselfish hours | practically wasted in public life. Then |we ask ourselves, why the business | men will not stand for office. They i less are foolish they do.--INDEPEN- | DENT. if | Answering F. R. Anglin's Letter.
