Fair Is Fair

While this paper is republi.
can, and supporting the princi
pies of the party, it is not one
of the hide bound sort that car
see no good other than within
the party. The Logan Observ.
er the past week or two has
been taking q few digs at the
present incumbent in the
county superintendent's office,
Mrs. Susie Faith. In our judg-
ment no good is going to result
to the county ticket by a cam
paign of narrowness. People
are doing their own thinking in
this day, and regardless of
politics most Of them are going
to call for fairness, and exer-
else it to the best of the judg-
ment on election day.
While Mrs. Faith was elect
Ell two years ago on the demo-
cratic ticket, and is on the
same ticket this fall, in other
words while she is a democrat,
she has done good work in the
office. She is wide awake and
aggressive. She followed q
man two years ago who was
admittedly strong as an edu-
Gator, not only in the county
but all over the state, and nat
urally if she were weak that
weakness would be plainly no
ticeable by contrast. We have
heard no complaint touching
the character of work done by
Mrs. Faith, but it must be ad-
mitted that considerable has
been heard commencing her eff
forts. Now with no knocking,
and with conditions most favor.
able, as we have stated, to draw
comparisons, the Office Of sup
erintendent certainly has not
Jared bad the past two years.
The Office Of school superin-
tendent should not be dragged
over the rocky road that politi-
cal candidates have to travel
anyway, but in this state there
has been no better way up to
the present at least, Of settling
the question than by the same
means that other county offices
are cared for. A woman, in
making the scramble for the
office, is placed in a little differ
ent position than a man. She
does not feel the freedom in
going out over the country
hunting up the men voters and
shaking their hand that she
would feel if she were one of
them, and she will not do it,
either. At the same time the
office is one that a woman can
fill and be perfectly at home at
the work. Forty-three of the
ninety-nine in this state is evil
dence of this fact.
Mrs. Faith, according to the
ticket she runs on, is a demo-
crat. but we believe that even
democrats should be given
credit for whatever good they
may do.
The above article taken from
the Woodbine Twiner, al
republican paper,
shows in what esteem Mrs.
Faith is held by the republi-
cans as we'll as the democrats.
The Superintendent Of Schools
should not be a political Office
as the education Of our children
is one thing which should not
be tampered with and as Mrs.
Faith has proven herself a Su-
perintendent of rare ability,
she should be kept in office. It is
inconvenient for her to get out
and campaign like a politician
but every voter who has the
good OF the country schools at
heart should put a cross before
her name. Her name is on the

Just An Example

Just An Example
Some may think that Mrs.
Faith has devoted all of her
time to the schools and has not
paid any attention to the busi-
ness side Of the office. The
following is taken from the re.
port of the Board of Supervis-
ors, which was published in
this paper Saturday, Oct. 26:
The report of Superintendent Faith
showing receipts in the Institute fund
amounting to sl2l9.OO. disbursements
Of $5l5.O0. and q balance on hand of
S704.57 was approved.
The Institute this year was
the most expensive of any yet
undertaken but with the in
creased expense Mrs. Faith
managed to turn in a balance
of $704 81. : Try as they may,
the opponents of Mrs. Faith
are unable to show any reason
why she should not be contin.
ued in the office.
