There is one trouble that cOun-
cilmen and police jurors often
bring upon themselves. and that
is the charge of partisanship,
when they were elected to serve
the community as a whole. This
fact should never be forgotten
by the councilman. He was not
elected to serve the clique that
put him in Office, but to repre-
sent the whole community, the
minority as well as the majority.
