THE MIDDLE IN THE couNc |
Subject Is One for councilmanic So.
luton Only,

The article which appeared in the
Times Recorder Friday relative to the
workings of the various council com.
mittees was purely statement made
by Alderman Pinkston to representa-
live of this paper. IL any part of that
interview was incorrect or unfair, AL
derman Pinkston is solely responsible
for the information which inspired it's
publication, and the question is open
for discussion from any member of the
council who sees fit to take issue with
the statements which Mr.. Pinkston has
certainly expressed at different times
recently, both to the editor and local
editor of the Times Recorder.
The fact that prominent member of
the City Council openly states that he
is going to resign, and gives in detail
his reasons for so doing, was consider
ed news item of sufficient importance
for publication.
AS we'll known fact, the Times-Re-
corder is no personal champion of AL
derman Pinkston; neither can that gem
tleman be charged with prejudice favor
ing the Times Recorder, and we have
no desire to be drawn into fight, which
it is alleged that Alderman Pinkston
began to wage at the last meeting OF
the council, Thursday night That is
purely an affair between Alderman
Piukston and members of the council.
But it is the duty of the Times Re
corder to give the people all legitimate
news. This it has done in this IN
stance and will continue to do without
fear or favor.
It is not our province to prefer
charges against any member of the
council. If the mayor or any member
of council thinks such has been done,
these gentlemen will have to settle
their differences in the open with AL
derman Pinkston.
