Citizens of Smyrna are wont to
criticize our Town Council for not
putting the public sprinkler in
service. The Council gets enough
criticism without being blamed i'll
this case. Several weeks ago pro-
pOsals for operating the sprinkler
for the ensuing season were adver-
tised in both papers and no replies
were received. Council has done
its part and should not be blamed
if no one wants the job. The
members would be very glad to
consider any proposals if they are
presented in due time. 1t seems
strange that there is no one in
Smyrna DESTROYS Of the job. A
man with two good horses could
find it good employment for the
summer season. The frequent
rains this spring have hardly neces-
STATED the putting on Of the
sprinkler continuously but it
would be well for someone to
apply for the job at tBe next meet
ing. When it is dusty our citizens
and merchants especially feel the
need of it and as long as the tax
rate has been raised for this pur-
pose it is a pity that the town can
not have the use of it.

Aside from the great moral ques-
ton involved in the fight now be-
ing waged for Local option, there
are many practical points that are
being offered every day. The mer-
chant wants it because he feels that
it will benefit his business, that
money that has been going for drink
will find its way to the stores in
providing more literally for the
necessities of life. The farmer
wants it because he believes it will
help the labor question. Many of
our farmers are never certain when
they pay their help off Saturday
that they will see them Monday
morning. Strong, able-bodied
hands, white as we'll as black get
off on sprees Saturday night and
never report for duty until several
days after. These conditions which
happen frequently, seriously handi-
cap farmers and they will vote for
Local Option with the hope that
such conditions may become better
The Local Option sentiment i:
growing apace and there is every
reason to believe that the wnoi'
state will be carried for it this fall
