the public service, also take care OF
the floating debt.
Everything considered. therefore
the voters Of Cairo would probably
make a serious mistake not to re-
elect Mayor Parsons next Tuesday in
order that he may have the oppor-
trnity of completing the great work
which was commenced and has pro-
crossed so far under his four years of
administration.

REFLECT MAYOR PARSONS.

Yesterday was the last day on
which candidates for office to be
voted for at the city election next
Tuesday could get their names printed
on the ticket. No new announce
ments have been made during the
last several days. and the people very
generally know whom they will be
asked to vote for.
1t may be assumed hat public in.
terest viii center in the two candi-
dates for mayor: the present in,
cnmbent. Mayor George Parsons. and
his predecessor, Ex-Mavor Claude
Winter, who is In the field for an.
other trial.
That Mayor Parsons has NE
pleased all the people in all 5hlags.
goes without saying. The Bulletin
does not approve OF a number OF
things that he did, nor of his neglect
to do other things which it believes
he should have done. But The Bulle-
tin realizes. as all sensible people
must, that no man can please in all
things; and that the good which
Mayor Parsons and his associate s
have done for Cairo during the last
four years, greatly outweighs any
sins of omission or of commission
that may be charged against them
It is patent to all that Cairo has
made great strides forward: that a
new era has not only danwned, but is
well advanced, which will mean such
changes in the city during the next
several years that those who knew
I. 1t three years ago will hardly recog-
nize II three wears hence. And he
would be grossly unfair who would
not give to Mayor Parsons a goodly
share of credit for this Improvement.
which win mean so much to The city
and there is credit enough for him
and for all who have been associated
with him and acted with him i'm the
city government during that time.
Not only as mayor. but as citizen, he
has shown enterprise and a generous
public spirit in the Improvements of
the city. as the numerous little park
plots on upper Washington avenus
will always testify.
But aside from the material good
he has done for Cairo, the mayor has
also done much at various times TO
promote the city's interests in other
ways. He has been successful i'm
representing the city creditably on
occasions of state. where it was de-
sired to make a favorable impression.
No man has done better for Cairo in
this direction and few as well. The
mayors greatest achievement in this
line was the entertainment of Presl-
dent Roosevelt. which placed Cairo
favorably before the whole country.
before the whole country.
There's great work yet to be done,
and Mayor Parsons seems ready and
determined to do IT, AS will appear
from the news columns elsewhere. a
number of streets are yet to be paved
at once, some of them the mos i'm
portant in the city. and the mayor
Is pushing the preliminary work with
commendable energy. But the matter
of greatest immediate importance
probably Is that the city shall be
rescued from its financial dilemma:
and here. too. the mayor has taken
steps which promise ielief. At re.
cent Merchants Luncheon he an
nounced that he had secured data
from ether cities with a view TO
framing a license ordinance for Cairo,
which he hoped 10 have passed at an
early date and which would give the
eity the revenue necessary to permit

Northeastern Reporter, 207, It APP
peared that Clausen had made a com.
mon-law assignment of his stock of
merchandise to Pogue. Another of
Clausens creditors. having secured
a judgment against him, had a CON
stable levy on the merchandise in P's
possession. p retook the goods under
a writ of replevin. The Supreme
Court of Illinois held that common
law assignment for the benefit of
creditors is valid as far as the sta.
utes of the state are concerned, and
that p was entitled TO the goods.
Notice of Defect in Street.-The
charter of a municipality provided
that it would not be liable for iniur-
les received through defects in its
streets, unless notice of such defect
were given 10 days before the injury
1t would seem that the unfortunate
to recover, would have to anticipate
his injury in order TO notify the city
in time. The Supreme Court of Min
nesota, however, in Schigley vs.City
of Waseea, 11S Northwestern Repor-
ter, 259. declared that provision en-
tirely proper. 1t concluded that it is
clear that the legislature may grant
or deny to individuals the right of
action against municipal corporations
for injuries resulting form the negli- |
gent manner in which streets and |
are maintained. Having |
this power. it may grant the right OF |
action upon any conditions which it
chooses to prescribe.
