DUMPING GARBAGE

Complaints are being made that
people continue to dump their gar
bage over in "Johnstown," instead
of at the city dumping ground.
What grudge have these folks
against Johnstown? Is that part OF
our city so much more beautiful than
the rest that these public spirited
bumpers have taken upon themselves
to relieve it Of some of its beauty
In order that it might not so far out
shine the rest of the town?
Or do they consider that the people
of that part of the city have NO
rights which a garbage bumper is
bound to respect?
We are glad to learn that the peo-
pie there have determined TO put an
end to such an outrage. They have
reported the matter to the city health
officer and hereafter the bumpers who
have no more appreciation of tn.
public health and the rights of others
than to dump there, will be compelled
to pick up the garbage and haul it
away again. In addition, if it con,
tinues. it is understood that prosecu-
tions will follow-as they should.
We trust that it is only a thought
lessness and ignorance which has
prompted garbage haplers to dump
here, where they have no right what
ever to dump, and that there with
be no more of it.

What Is Good Politics. I"
Marion Chronicle)

"The Chronicle is informed BY
some good friends that it is not
playing good politics by urging the
defeat of the proposal to return sa.
loon to the county. Their argument
is that the people should be made t.
suffer the consequences of the new
law, and that with the saloons fasten-
ed upon them they would express at
the next polls at the next state elec-
ton their resentment of the repeal
of the county local option law. The
Chronicle can not play politics with
the saloon question. 1t is against the
saloon every time it has a chance to
manifest its hostility. And the day
has pretty well gone by when good
politics is different from good citizen.
