TAILOR DIES FROM GAS
Independents here are putting Magis
trate Rebert Carsen ferwnrd as a can
didate for continued service en the
magisterial bench ns a proper recog
nition of eight years of conscientious
service.
Carsen's present term expires the
first Monday in January. He was n
candidate for n Republican nomination
for magistrate at the September
primary, backed by the Voters' League,
but did net land among the winners.
There Is new one vacancy among the
magistrates due te the recent death of
Magistrate William Klscnbrewn, n
Democrat, who ins last elected en a
fusion ticket.
There will be another vacancy In a
few weeks, when William P. Camp
bell, Combine Icadtfr of the Twenty
fifth Ward, resigns ns magistrate and
begins Ills dutlen as Register of Wills,
an office he wen nt the election last
month.
(Joverner Bpreul will fill both vacan
cies, the men he names serving until
the next election. Seme Independents
ere urging the nppeintment 01 Magis
trate Carsen te one of the places en the
ground that he is experienced, compe
tent and fair.
Magistrate Campbell's vuorcss-er Is
expected te come from the northeast,
where the Register-elect shnres n po pe
lltlcal sntrapy with Corener Knight,
of the Forty-fifth Ward. It in bellcsnl
Mr. Campbell will have his own can
didate for that place.
With this peKHlbillty in mind, the
Carsen supporters are preparing te
concentrate en the vacancy canned bv
Mr. Eisenbrewn'fi death. The Dcne- i
cratic organization here will have some
thing te say nbeut the vacancy, how
ever, because of Mr. Elsenbrewn's po
litical faith. Ah the late magistrate
always Insisted en his pelitlinl inde
pendence, however, these urging Mr.
Carsen's appointment believe the Gov-'
erner will take that fact Inte consideration.

FALSE AND TRUE STANDARDS
That president of a company who instructs his
purchasing agent te buy writing paper by price
alone, would net allow that purchasing agent te
order the president's clothes that way.
Yet there is a very close analogy between the
two. All that that president pays his tailor ever
and above what a decent and durable suit could
be bought for is paid because of what the presi'
dent believes is due himself as president of such
a business.
And all that he pays for letteppaper, ever
and above what a paper that will answer the
purpose costs, he pays for what he believes he
ewes the business of which he is president.
Nothing in this world can be measured by
price alone. The wisest purchasing agents are
these who buy at the lowest possible price the
standard of quality that has already been decided
te be necessary for that busihess.
