Legislator Leon Locke, OF Cal.
casieu, author of the famous anti
racing law, is out with a new idea
about State laws in the future.
He does not believe it to be for
the best interests of the State for
laws to be enacted too hurriedly.
He wants laws to be singly in.
troduced In the Legislature and
then advertised in the newspapers.
discussed pro and con by the peo-
pie, before they are framed into
laws; and he thinks sixty days
amply long enough for any session
OF the Legislature. As q matter
OF fact, there have been too many
laws rushed through the processes
OF the Legislature in past years
laws which have done perhaps
more mischief than good, and
which have been oppressive in
one way or another. Perhaps it
would be good thing to give the
Locke suggestion a trial. This
poor State is overburdened with
laws already and it is hard for the
ordinary citizen to fight shy of
them.

SHOULD STAND FOR REELECTION.

A rumor is prevailing here that
the present Mayor of Franklin,
Hon. James A. Peterman, has
concluded not to stand for re.
election. It is with regret that
the BANNER hears of this rumor,
and we sincerely hope that it is
not based on fact. And even II It
be true that he has so expressed
himself, we trust it is not too late
for him to reconsider his de.
cision, and that he will permit
his fellow. citizens to continue
him in the high trust that he has
performed with such marked
ability, frmness and fairness.
Mr.. Peterman's administration
for the last two years in Franklin
reflects signal honor upon him,
and has been productive of genu.
inc usefulness and benefit to the
people who selected him to rule,
CONTROL and direct the affairs of
the municipality. His work has
been for material progress and
Improvement in the town; and
his duties looking thereto has
been Influenced only by the de-
sire ito do the right thing as God
has given to him the ability to
do right. He has been firm, but
fair; his judgment has been wise
and without bias, and withal in
the performance of his official
duties, he has filled in his COM
pleteness the doctrine enunciated
by . departed American states
man, that ga public Office is q |
public trust"
The public can ill.afford to lose
the services of such q faithful
and competent officer. We are
confident: that if Mr.. Peterman
will consent to run that he will be |
elected without opposition. The
BANNER therefore urgently re-
quests him to listen to the call of
his people, and stand for re-elec-
ion.
