Farmers and Hayseeds

There are Farmers and there are IIayseeds. A IIaysoed is a
man who buys poor machinery, on the installment plan, and
lets it stand out in all sorts of weather until it falIStO pieces:
who pays no attention to what he SOwS or plants: who neg
lects his farm and his family to go to town and tell how to
save his country when he should be at home saving his crops.
"A farmer is a man who SOwS good seed; takes good care OF
the soil; takes care of his machinery: takes care of his crops,
and keeps his fences up. There are FIayseeds among mer-
chants: merchants who sell poor goods; who trust more in
Providence than in their own labor to get a good business,
and don't stop to think that Providence may be busy some
where else. We are the farmers in the jewelry business
we SOW good seed when we sold those watches and clocks
way back in the seventies. They were good ones and es-
|tablished our reputation, and has given US a good, full crop
Of business. We are sowing the same kind Of seed now.
We Sow
good seed when we advertise in The LEADER and we have
GOOD q to expect a heavier crop than usual this
fall.

IN HOWARD COUNTY.

Some time ago we commented Oh
the fact that the recent campaign and
election on the county local option in
this county reflected credit on the ON
munity. In explaining what we
meant we said: 1T was a clean cam
paign. individuals may have over
stepped the mark, but there was no in
fraction of fair play on either side"
Although some Of our temperance
subscribers took issue with the state
ment. it is none the less true. And
our position is more firmly vindicated
by the press dispatches of the Howard
County election. 1t is alleged, wheth-
er true Or not, that there were men
imported to vote wet who had no right
to vote. Three arrests were made.
Nothing Of that sort came to light
in Wayne county, and it is to its cred
it.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1909-02-24

Of the democratic section these bills
the school bill and the public utilities
bills-must be taken as fairly typical.l
1t is fortunate that Governor Mar
shall has his eyes peeled for just this
sort of thing. but as the legislature can
pass these measures over his veto, it
will remain to be see whether the
democratic legislators are willing to
90 the limit of rotten legislation or
not. If they heed his warnings it
may not yet be too late, but if they do
not heed them they must be passed by
democratic votes.
Then can the democratic politicians
come before the people and say that
their record has been superior! 1t is
doubtful.

OUR WALTER.

The republican members of the In
diana HOUSE have read Walter Ratliff
Of Wayne county. out of the party, for
the reason that he voted for the Kleck.
ner bill in the Legislature. and also for
the Proctor-Tomlinson bill. Ratliff
pledged the republican party before
the election to stand by the county OPP
ton law, but after the Legislature con-
vened, ne took a position IN the fence
and later said he would vote as the
county voted at the option election.
The county voted wet as is well known
and Ratliff voted the same way on the
two measures in question. For doing
this his compatriots have attached
the "23' sign to his coat-tails and have
turned their backs upon him forever.

A BUSINESS MAN FOR MAYOR.

A BUSINESS MAN FOR MAYOR.
Look at the cities and towns bill
passed last week and remember that
Richmond, is a fourth class city:
(sec. a2.) 1.-THE heads Of such de-
partments where not other wise pro-
vided for by law, shall be appointed
by the mayor.
Each Of such departments shall
have the power to designate and ap-
point at pleasure, remove any person
In such department as deputy as first
assistant.
Each department may also appoint
and emov any Of its clerks, assist
ants or employees, and unless other
wise established by ordinance, may
fix their salaries.
The mayor shall appoint a city civil
engineer who shall be subject to the
direction Of h hoard Of public works.
(6ec. 91.) The department Of pub
lie works shall have for its head a
board Of three members. In cities Of
the fourth class such board shall con-
sist Of the mayor, the city engineer
and = commissioner OF public works.
The said civil engineer and the COM
missioner OF public works shall be
appointed by the mayor. The mayor
shall have tho power at any time to
remove any member Of such board
appointed by him ard to fill by ap.
pointment any vacancy occurring in
fsueh office.
And so on.
] What a chance for any politician
VINO wants to effect a political ma
chine! What a chance for a political
machine to do Just about as it
pleases. What sort of a man would
you want to have IN that office?
What sort of man could be trusted in
that place? Are you going to put a
professional politician in one Of
the incest berths which has ever been
created for men of his stripe? Are
you going to put a vapid mar in who
chants solely about the rights of the
people" without having done any
thing In his life to prove his ability?
The mayor as can be seen from the
above provisions has almost absolute
power. He is the head and the body
of the whole city government. That
is why 1t is SO important to get the
right man. No theorizer, NJ man who
IL not successful in managing his own
business, and above all no man who
IL corrupt II known Or suspected of
being q CRATER need apply.
In order that the business of the
town shall be transacted honestly
and without stupidity a business man
Of known ability and character
should be found. 1t will be something
of a sacrifice for the man who under.
takes the task. 1t will mean that he
must do it, not for the money that
there Is in it but with a consciousness
that the business of the city is vital.
ly connected with the commercial
business of the town.
The city must be run as economi.
cally as possible-without graft and
without stupidity and above all with
q supreme hopefulness of the future
expansion Of the town.
What sort of man shall fill the
chair? Think 1t over.
Do you want a man untried in or
binary business; do you want a man
whose name has been connected with
small and shady deals-or do you
want a man who is successful in his
own business and who is working fo1
the best interests of the town anG
who above all things is above sus
picion as to his character?
Why not a real live business mar
for mayor?
