Editor Fisher was in st. Louis yes
terday and he left without changing
the music on his organ. Anyway
somebody gave the crank turn and
there was another doleful croak about
the people OF Cairo and their alleged
Indifference to the interests of cor
porations which are just plum crazy
to overwhelm them with prosperity.
The Bulletin insists that the people
of Cairo as whole have been very
liberal in their treatment of railroads
and other enterprises in years past,
considering what they have had 70
contend with, and they do not de
serve to be everlastingly lambasted.
They have had some heavy burdens
to carry In past years, and will have
to carry heavy burdens for years to
come. in order to build a city, and
they have borne them bravely and
cheerfully. and have been generous
the while toward all enterprises that
gave any reasonable promise of con
tributing to the development of the
city. But one fact stands out boldly
against all this persistent complain
ing: the people of Cairo have never
yet permitted the city to fail in her
hospitality toward the deserving
stranger. and they can be depended
upon to do the right thing on Oct.
3rd, next.

Panama City pilot., 1907-11-14
Yours truly

Our correspondent outlines con
ditiOns that since the publishing of
the call have been brought to the
attention of the party bent on in
cooperating St Andrew, causing de
cided change in his tactics. For fear
that there might be within a year or
so, such a number of voters in this
end of Precinct No as would give it
the full control of the corporation,
as most asSuredly would be the case,
it was decided by the plotters to cut
down Panama City's vicinage to the
very smallest possible limits, in that
way doing this place all the injury
possible, without incurring the pOssi
bility of future trouble. There can
be no claim that such a course is
honorable, but as has been stated by
a citizen of st Andrew sit is possible
to do up Panama City now, as we have
the voters" thus admitting the mega
tive that it would not be possible to
"do up" friendly neighboring town
if they waited longer. Such a course
may be deemed wise and just by those
who are SO completely dominated by
the man insisting upon it that they
dare not say their souls are Their own,
cent TO an-invesUgaOhre, lair iIInded
man, there can be no question as to
its unfairness.
Panama City pilot., 1907-11-14
Truly &c.

Our correspondent "K" probably
voices the opposition in st Andrew
to the proposed incorporation.
Whether entirely opposed to incor-
poratiOn he does not state, but his
communication would imply that he
is. The PILOT thinks that if properly
done, and economically carried out,
incorporation of what legitim ately
belongs to st Andrew would be wise
thing to do. But to reach out after
miles of territory that has no cOnnec
ton whatever with the place, and
never can have, to let one mans pri
vate interests decide such an import
ant matter as the incorporation Of the
village means, does not seem to be
either wise or equitable. And the
PILOT does not think that the courts
will sustain any such action. They
have not done SO in the past and it
would be reversiOn of all precedents
if they do SO now.
Upon strictly St Andrew subjects
spoken of above the PILOT does not
consider itself warranted in speaking.
Those are matters which its citizens
will have to settle themselves. \
village government controlled by a
clique, has always proved expensive
and damaging, and there is no reason
to hope for any different conditions
there. a mayor and five or more
alderman, will find various ways to
greatly increase taxation, and when
elected through the power of sec
ton of a village, or throug one mans
influence, the remainder of the cor
poration will undeniably have to
suffer.
