GOVERNMENT, AND THE i1L A1EoRm OF ALI FAIR
HINkINeiPEoPLE

There seems to be a call fNrom n,
rank and file at present, for al h av,w
ed platform from the candidate il
the field to be voted for in the' Com
ing primaries for Commissioner,
for the next two years. To this \ent
l feel 1t my duty to respond to 4he
call of the voters of Hattiesburg an 4
thus help them to decide the question,
of who and what to vote for. NoA
that my views may be better or even
equal to other views, but rather to get
the issue clearly before the people
for their real consideration, for feel
that our future as a city depends
largely on the way we conduct its
affairs the next few years, and to
frame a platform requisite to the de-
mands, and handle the facts instead
Of desires is more than l feel that 1
can do and remain in the confidence
of the people.
Observation teaches a good lesson,
experience teaches a better one, and
II had never had any practical ex.
perience along this line, doubtless /
could tell the people what would do
II should be honored to the office of
Commissioner. But to deal with facts
and stern realities requires the con-
slant care and deepest consideration
of any man in order to make a sue
cess.
First-I do not think any man should
ask an office OF the people who is not
willing to give his time to conduct
the affairs of the office.
Second-I do not think that any man
should ask for a position at the ex.
pense of the people, who is not capa.
BILE of performing the obligations that
the position demands.
Third-That any position gained by
friendship, independent of efficiency,
will prove an absolute failure
Fourth-A rigid system of economy
is the door to prosperity, and is
brought about by close watch of
expenditures, especial attention Civ
en- to the little leaks which are usual
1y unobserved.
Fifth-Personal attention of the
Commissioner should be given to the
assessing of property, that every man
should pay his pro-rate of taxation.
Sixth-That the laws should be APP
piled Unfortunately to all men
alike. and a failure to apply the law
by any officer or Commissioner when
such officer or Commissioner is in pos
session OF facts, should be asked to
resign his charge.
Seventh-That the salary of the

Bond Election


Some have thought that another
election would be necessary for vot
ing on the water bonds after the
election of December 8. Such is not
the case. There will be separate
ballot, but the voting will occur at
the same time and place as the cleo
ion for city officers. Since the
matter has been cleared up as to
The proper ordinance. right-of-way,
ETC., there is little open opposition
apparent, though it is said some
will vote against the proposition
form personal reasons. All can not
see alike, and it is the privilege of
each to vote as his conscience die
tates. We believe that generally
the people see present conveniences
and future possibilities to such an
extent that when the time comes,
few votes will be cast against it.
