The Town Election. that every public trans,ction will

Town election. are, in sm ll than is often imagined by the
plaee,like the Kingdom of God, m sses. The affairs of a . mall
in that they do not come in town should be intrusted to l)ub-

are rather like the thief in the will always and under all eircum-
night, stances work for the makihg of
Few only of the townfolks here a bigger town.
are perhaps aware of this pend- rne vgters of this tow, ill be
ing ealanfity, for several reasons.
The first and most infamous rea-
son being that municiple govern-
ment has always been kept in
control of a few iniated, who are
regarded and regard themselve,
as most eminently fitted to con-
trol local affairs. This presump
tion should be corrected because
in many places these petty e'iqu-
es are often execrated because
they proceed to do their usurping
work in such a clandestine man-
ner. It would be much better
at this date if the people of a
community would be apprised of
these public matters in due time,
so that in mass assembled, they
might be consulted regardinu
their choice of town official . It
would not be a bad idea if in all
towns of every size an election
proclamation would have to be
announced in due time to inform
all citizens regarding their mu-
nicipal affairs.
Secondly. This same class of
demagogues very often contem-
plate the arbitrary control of their
community. That only which
enhances their interests is con-
sidered. Either their direct or
indirect advantage is reckoned
with at any expense. The public
wealth is not respected, for with
the high-handed, low.bred dun-
geon demagogue everything goes
that will perpetutate his laower
md interest. They may prate at
times of democracy and freedom,
but their underhanded devices
prove their pmfidy.
Thirdly. By keeping the mas-
ses in iunorance about the munic-
ipal affairs, the state maker can
work without let or hindrance.
This is always done either with-
out or with opposition. Some-
times the work of the petty ty-
rants becomes so obnoxious and
offensive that the better element
or at least the citizens who will
not be arbitraily ruled, are forc-
ed to oppose this kind of gang
rule by counter stating. Invari
ably this brings to a climax the
smoldering distrust and dissatis.
faction-of the con'tendi,g ele-
ments and open opposition is pre,
cipitated, this always resulting in
tbe forming Of hostile factions
which could hardly be induced
to co-operate for the good of a
community. Ever after, what-
e'er is done by one party is de-
nounced by the oth .r. No har-
monic co-operation for the gener-
al good can exist. Policies and
purposes are defeated that might
add to the common profit or corn-
tort of the communitv, P.ot be-
cause they are essentially bad,
but because they are iqiated by a
faction. How much better, if in
small places men could be big
enough to be unselfish and serve
the public and con mon good,
rather than to be subservient to
a pernicious selfishness that in.
sists upon rule or ruin.
A small town does always
have abundant material of suit-
able persons to be the servants of
that town. There may be the
proper man for each several
place. Tnerefore it is the duty
of each citizen of that town to
forget the personal feeling that
might predjudice him and look ta
the qualification of the person
for the particular service he is
render to the community. It is
more of a job to superintend well
the affairs of a small town so
called upon soon to select the
ticl etthat will constitu e their
municipal representatives for the
next two years. It will be well
for tl em to consider well the
spirit and qualification of ttm men
they elect to office. There is no
benefit and but little glory in a
petty to n office, but there is
large responsibility. You should
vote for the man who will help to
make a better town. And
you vote, remembQr that the hub.
it and ambition of your candidate
is the measure of his greatness.
