Some time petty public of
ficials find that it pays to be
come martyrs. They sacri
fice nothing, not even honor,
for they clearly show that
they have none to sacrifice. 0
A public official who will
deliberately place burdens on
a protesting public would
naturally hold his hand bes
hind him when giving out
.A A .
Dig contracts wun joyous
' V a am . . .
anticipation ot a suitable re-
ward from successful bidders.
Some of the Democratic
am
nominees lor county com-
jnissioners were in town Mon
day Whether they sanction
ed the court house contract
or gave the bidders any ass
surance of standing by the
deals made we do not know.
The only hope of preserving
our rights in this matter is to
elect a board this fall who
are flat footed against it and
will agree to leave no stone
.unturned to repudiate the
deal during their term of
office.
the kind of laws that
bred' revolution. The home
is private and ihere is entire
ly too much tendency on
the part of the State to make
its citizens wards, enter, their
homes and manioulate their
entire household and private
affairs. This, however, will
continue unless our people
find some way to manage
their government. It' seems
to : us that an occasional
gathering of all the people to
discuss public affairs -would
result in much good. The ad-
adoption of the iniative, re
ferendum and recall would
help some.
CONTEMPT A BLE DEMA
GOGUERY.
The following is an item
taken from the last minutes
of the Board of County Com
missioners:
Order 3d ttiat, inasmuch as
the Board does not care to
place tne expense on tne in
coming Board, that action on
tne 15 arm demonstration ap
propriation be postponed.
In view of the fact that
this same board has just tied
the hands of,! not only the
incoming board, but every
board for the next thirty
years witji notes amounting
to over $115,000 for the need
less expense of building a new
court house, a piece of con-
temotabie aemagoj?uery is
is brought to light. Such
conduct is most astounding
among honorable people.

GEO. W. WRIGHT,
The city aldermen have re
Cently passed and are now
enforcing amnch needed and
worthy ordinance in regard
to weights and measures, but
when it directs an inspector
to enter private homes at will
without the consent of the
owners, they have gone too
far and our people ought not
to submit to such conduct.
