 Meridian, Miss, October 3O.-(Special)- The old wtaer works question will prob- ably be sprung again as the result of the city's filling in Second street and covering the fire hydrants, thereby pre- venting the people in that vicinity from being granted the necessary fire protec- tion.

mo RESTRICTION UPON THE VOTER


ssThe Gloucester Couaty Democrat sees
10 the abolition OF the township spring
election the prospect Of increased power
and supremacy Of the party boss and
curtailment Of popular control of local
government Will our esteemed contem-
porary show us how the voters will be re-
or in the fixing of the local appropriations,
by having them vote in the fall instead OF
in the spring.
A writer on municipal governments
asserts that the nearer the people hold to
the Town Meeting, the better and purer
their government. And when we say that
this scheme of uniting municipal and
county, state and national elections is
getting just as far from the Town Meeting
as it is possible to get, we assert an undeni-
able truth
Under the primary election law nominal
tions for municipal officers must be made
in September-tw months before election.
At the same time delegates are chosen for
county, state and congressional consen-
tons. Does the Editor of the Post Telegram
believe that the people of the rural dis
triets will give the same attention to the
selection of their Chosen Freehoders, AS
SCISSOR. Collector, Township Committeeman,
ETC., in September that they now do in
March
AS stated above, the Primary Election
law will be extended to the selection Of the
municipal officers Does anybody believe
that any considerable number of the people
Of the townships will ever hereafter partici
pate in the nomination Of township officers2
Not on your life Who will prepare the
petitions Who will circulate them
Speaking for Gloucester county, the
little father in Woodbury. will attend to
that He wi prepare these petitions; he
will pass them TO his henehman in the
Township and when the people wake up
some rainy day in October, after the hurry
of the truck season is over, and begin to
think about Town Meeting, they will find
themselves relieved of all that response
bility.
1t is all right in theory to say that the
voter will be just as free to make his
choice of candidates aud vote on local
issues as he now is at the Spring election, !"
but it has never worked in practice, and
will not until all the people give as much
attention to political movements as the
Office holders and 'Iittle fathers" who
make business of politics.
