CITY AFFAIRS.

Ed. News: I approve of the let.
ter of North Slider in his recommen.
dations for city officials In last
weeks NEWS, but there are q few
minor qualifications which might
be considered, and something not
therein mentioned which are sadly
needed.
We need q new colored Methodist
church. We need a new Presbyter-
ian church. We need a small school
house in the south part of the city
for small children. We need some
repairs on the streets. We need a
city council that is much closer to
God than the present. We need
more brains and less muscle in our
public school and school board.
We need more muscle and less
brains in our street commissioner.
We need a city attorney who will
pay more attention to his private
business and less attention to city
business. We need aldermen who
do not have to go to Joplin to get
their legs pulled. We need fire es-
capes at all opera houses, public or
private. We need a small volunteer
fire department with ladders. buck.
ets, etc. We need good, stiff occu-
patton tax from drug stores where
liquor is sold for irrigating pur-
poses. We need small occupation
tax from bootIeggers. We need
regular and Legitimate meetings of
the city council in the proper and
Legitimate place for holding such
meetings. We need city council
who are not too cowardly to vote as
their conscience dictates, and can
not be bulldozed. We need the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad. We need an
assessor who has some idea of the
value of property and will dis
charge his duty fearlessly. We
need less fervency and more relig.
ion in our churches. We need more
christianity and less politics in our
prominent citizens.
Expansion, or even imperialism,
is better than infidelity and en-
balmed dry rot. SOUTH SIDER.
