MADAM RUMOR SAYS :

That Bud-in-law must be upheld
though the administration goes down
That orr people will resi-t any and
all attempts to put our Pu6lic system
under the control of our city admin
i7tration, as that means nothing
more nor less than the creation OF
another political factor to be curse
to our public veal
That Mr.. Improvement Committee
and saloons are continually beng
Connected by the means OF street
crossings.
That the improvement committee
is rnuchiy in favor of putting street
eros -ings to all saloons except to
that Of Mr. H. f. Doll who pays
nearly a. much taxes rs all the other
saloon keppers combined. But then,
Sue says that Mr. Doll did not vote
FOR the gentleman, and that cuts
quite figure.
That Councilman Randalls at
tempt 10 override public will, in lay
ing street cIossingl, Is measured BY
the same gague Of manhood that ~
exempitied by Aesop'5 fable Of the
wolf aud the lamb She Says She
never heard of the manly or womauIy
person who cared to initiate the
wolfs example.
That our people DO not want our
public school management contami-
mated by associaling with the mire
of our city politics.
That recent events have opened
the eyes Of citizens to the necessity
of paying more attention to the man
agement Of city politics.
That Councilman Wimbish really
has the good OF the city at heart.
That She would like to know why
the possession Of present power mas
so dwarfed the responsibilities Of the
city administration?
That the question of the rights Of
the public to a voice i'll the manage
ment of public affairs, seems never to
have entered the minds of the mem
bers Of the city administration.
That it is amusing to hear some
friends say: 'Our councilmen serve
without remuneration" when it is a
well-known fact that not only could
one scarcely be induced to resign for
pay, but several got there though and
by the influence of money freely e1-
pended, alone.
That in the next city election there
will be new deal all around, and an
attempt will be made to select officials
who have some regard for the rights
of the public, especially the taI-pay-
ers
That Councilman Wimbish should
insist on having some say-so in the
matter of improvements, and not al
low sir. Randall to bring SO much
On that committee by his
partial manner of conducting the
affairs connected Herewith.
That no official is big enough or
bad eGough to stihe Her voice when
lie uses his position with as much
partiality as Mr.. Improvement Com
mittee does.
That She still insists that the city
attorney receives too much salary for
the services he renders and it should
be reduced
That if the people will go on tour
of investigation, they will find that
She has not overdrawn anything con-
nected with the city administration,
from the procedure in the mayors
court to the selection of sub patrol
men.
That but for the public uprising,
the city council would have closed
every public school in town, which it
had power to stop.
That Bud-inlaw should be no priv
ileged person and our taxpayers
sh, uld speak on the subject.
That Mr.. Ogilvie's "ad" last week
verified what She has been telling
our people so long about the actions
of our city administration.
That IL ia no difficult tssk for an
