That Councilman.

Editor REPUBLICAN:--lt Is indeed
gratifying TO note the effort you are
putting forth in behalf of our electric
plant, To you there is due much
credit for the present splendid patron
age the plant is receiving.
am greatly surprised to learn that
one of our 'city fathers" is openly
and in secret opposing this plant and
giving us to believe he would be glad
to see it fail. am told that ne re-
fuses to patronize the city light and
uses his influence against the clty's
interest, going so far as to compel
certain men over whom he holds
grip to put in lights other than the
city's.
Now, ] fancy hear said councilman
saying to himself These are matters
which do not concern you. ! am a
| free American citizen and can patron
ize whomsoever | desire. VIII you be
kind enough to tend to your own al
fairs" But not 50 fast, brother.
You are "city father" and under
bonds TO work for the city's interest.
You receive your fees from the city's
money: you are paid to work FOR and
not AGAINST the city's interest. If
you are patroniZing corporation and
lending your efforts in every possible
way in behalf of a corporation antag-
onistic to our city's interest you are
receiving money from the wrong
source. You should be paid by the
corporation. Now, Mr.. Councilman,
/ am Il citizen mot councilman) and
pay my share of the city taxes. You
are, accordingly, working for me. !
insist on your best efforts in behalf oil
our city, on the electric light plant,
and all other matters. VIII you dc
this or will you not? You must dc
one of two things: you cannot oppose
the city's interest and honestly and
consistently remain city father
and demand your fees as council
man. You must work for the city''
interest or step down and out. Nc
consistent man can expect TO hold
your position and work against the
city's welfare. MORE QUICK,
