MANIFESTATIONS III OluGT tOuullGS'
No system of government is auto
matte, and county government as well
as any other requires eternal vigilance
on the part of the honest citizen and
the progressive community. But Coun-
ty government, because it is local in its
character, and adapted in its forms to
meet constantly arising conditions is
prompter IN its amenability to honest
vigilance, than a more centralized form
of government.
County government has without
doubt come to stay. There remains on
ly the duty of the honest electorate to
see that honest and capable men con-
tinue to administer it, and that in it's
change and development there shall not
be too much rashness in changing, nor
too great conservatism in opposing
needed changes.
