POLICY WITHOUT
PRINCIPLE
I Dear Mr. Editor:—
When I accepted as candidate
Ifor the Town Council last year
there were present Messrs. Beegle
Paup. Rvus and Patching. There
was not a word spoken as to who
would be Mayor, altho last night’s
article states “that it was under
i stood from the beginning of the
[ campaign.” Had I known of this
frame-up there were three courses
for me to pursue: first, run in op
' position to the frame-up; second
withdraw from the ticket; third
support the ticket as framed, Eith
er one was an honorable course to
pursue at that time; but I was
left in the dark and ignorant of
the compact, consequently, I took »
stand on the principle that the
> voice of the people be heard and
their voting right be respected, re
gardless of corporate graft, greed
or frame-up. N. J. HENEGHAN.

j FOR THOUGHT
“A Candidate" writing- in yester
day's issue propounds this ques
tion: “Which is the more useful
to the town today from the pro
ceeds of the last year’s income, »
‘ balance in the form of cash dor
mant in the vaults of the bank, or a
balance in the form of, say a
new school house yielding the town
an income in the form of an edu
cation?”
The person who propounds the
above question evidently belongs to
that class of candidates who have
heretofore improved the streets by
blasting away the rocks and then
planking them over; who “has no
private interest to serve," and who
as heretofore, believe in spending
every dollar of the tax money be
fore it is collected, and thus at the
end of the term leave a large de
ficit as a monument to their
memory to be taken care of by
their successors in office.
The cash reserve now on hand
would not go far towards building
a school house, but it is a necleus
which may be added to, by persist
i ent economy, until the amount
would be large enough to accom
plish something in the way of
building. A school house that could
be built for about $3000 would cer
tainly be an ornament, if not »
monument to “A Candidate.” Spend
ing the money as fast or faster
than it could be gotten hold of in
former years has been practiced to
a lamentable degree. The defunct
salt water pumping station, cost
ing many thousands of dollars
stands out conspicuously as an in.
dication of how the people’s money
has been handled in the past- The
cost of that in itself, added to the
cash on hand, would build a pretty
good school house. It might not
be out of place to look up the
record and see who composed the
council when this salt water
scheme was “pulled off.”
By all means let us have better
schocl facilities, which cannot be
accomplished by spending every dol
lar as fast as it is received. Build
permanent streets, practice econ
omy, save a little money this year
and a little more next year and
the school house question is solved
Evidently “A Candidate” does not
know that members of the incoming
council for the past two years have
been obliged to personally go se
curity for money to pay the city's
current expenses until the license
and taxes for that year were paid
in. ^ et A Candidate" appears to
believe in this sort of thing. Fine
business. Think this over!
