POINTS FROM POINTER.
A Variety of Matters Touched
Upon.

An old saying is that if March
comes in like a lamb it will go
out like a lion, and vice versa.
So far the month of March for
1910 has beer a pleasant one.
Wherever two or three meet
together, politics soon comes to
the top. And men and means
are (dis) cussed.
We are sorry to see or read
that Snyder is now living in the
past. He is needed in the pres
ent.
All public men are subjected
to criticism, from the road over
seer and the Sunday school su-
perintendent up.
1t is right that all property
subject to taxation should be
listed with the list-takers. But
it seems hard and unfair that 50
much cost should have been put
on 50 many of our good citizens
in the A. B. c.. of the business.
Taxes, without cost, is generally
felt to be awfully hard money to
pay.
We hear repeatedly that Robe
son county is over one hundred
thousand dollars in debt. Again
we hear friends say that it is not
in debt at all, but just one year
behind. And then we wonder
how can these things be. With
smaller counties the affairs would
not be 80 hard to manage, inves-
tigate and understand.
i Col. Mclean is a typical man
in politics. He sticks to his
friend, instead of jumping in
front of him. Is it, or is it not,
a mistake for 50 many candidates
, to seek the same Office?
The Robesonian has many good
,, correspondents, but some of
their nom de plumes are misfits.
