Homer Guardian Journal: South
ern people are becoming more and
more afflicted with what is called
The petition habit.
It has become q reckless and al
most universal habit among our
people to sign every petition pre-
sented them.
Many sign them without reading
the paper over and without stopping
10 consider the nature of the request
or the qualifications of the appii-
cant. The habit has grown to such
an extent that petitions requesting
appointments to Office are signed
and after the signer reflects h.
sometimes recalls that his name ap-
pears on different petitions indofs-
ing two and three applicants for The
same office, and it is common thing
10 hear one say that he signed 4
certain petition knowing that the
party was totally unfit morally and
otherwise for the position sought,
but he could not resist the impor-
tunitics Of his friends to grant the
favor of his signature, knowing, too,
that the executive authority would
never grant the appointment.
By such q course these chronic
petition signers destroy whatever
influence they might have had with
the appOintive powers and also glvt
them to understand that no weight
or Importance should attach to the
ordinary petition.

Bonds Withdrawn.

It has been announced officially
that The City of Shreveport through
Mayor Eastman has withdrawn from
sale the bonds of the municipality
aggregating Si0i, 800. This action Is
due to the demand Of Mayer, Deppe
& Walters of Cincinnati for $4,000
commission as a compensation 1ol
disposing of these bonds. The bond
offered for sale bear AZ per cent in
terest per annum. 1t is proposed tf
submit new issue of bonds bearing
> per cent interest, for which there
may be a ready sale. Such an ISSUE
Of bonds must be submitted to the
qualified voters for endorsement.
This demand by this Cincinnati
firm is beyond reason and extrava-
CANT in the extreme.
