The Dallas HERALD has few words
to say about oilicc-sceking. Large num-
bcrs of men are continually in search of
office. No matter how small the posi-
ton, the number of applicants Is always
excessive. Day laborers can make more
than is paid to some officers, yet there is
n charm about ollicc-holding that seem
ingly makes an Office desirable. AS II

not have manual labor 70 perform, anu,
as the average man Is lazy, he prefers
light work and small pay To hard work
and fair wages. The great trouble rs,

IL Is true that our citizens seem to have
admitted that a farmer should represent
