First it is good democratic rule for years
adhered to that a governor be given two terms

opportunity to carry out all his campaign
pledges. -Covington Enterprise.

An article appeared in our last issue relative
to the work CT the Ladies Civic League and quite
q number, it seems, have misconstrued the mean
ing of the article. 1t is by no means the ideas of
the ladies of the league to intend to dictate to the
property owners nor to go in person. as some think
they intended doing to any places and "clean
them up" Their plan is simply to offer sugges-
tons and work tremendously with the other agen-
cies in the city to the end that q harmonious whole
may result.
We regret as much as anyone that anything
of discouraging nature has come up and that the
article in question should have been taken excep
ton to.
We also wish to state that no member of the
League wrote the article nor knew anything about
it until they saw it in print.

The Enterprise will take issue with the Lead
or or any man whether it be with our good friend
Wallace Hanlon an outside writer who make
general assault on the city charter or the city
court We will note carefully each article that
may appear in the Leader on this subject and ans
wer it where we think it deserves to be answered.
The opposition to the new charter that showed
itself in the last city campaign headed by three
men who had as much to do with the making of
the new charter as any other three in the city.
We do not feel any particular proprietership over
it.
There can be no objection to leaving out of the
city limits any of the territory if the inhabi
tants and owners of the property prefer
AS to the voting by wards utterly op-
posed The people of the whole city are interest
ed in every councilman member of the school
board. and the voters who live on one side of the
street should not be barred from participation in
the selection of an alderman who may live on the
the other side of the street Under the old rule,
we have had men selected on the city council but
the votes of the few dozen men who could not hope
to be elected if all the voters the city had chance
at the ballot box.
We shall discuss this particular question fur
thcr.
