Had you thought about it?
There isn't an alderman on the
local board representing all that
vast territory west OF the square!
Not a oneI Last week, when the
board filled a vacancy it elected a
member living across the street
from another member, and then
just down that street about five
hundred yards resides another
member OF the board-three on
one street, and all within few
hundred yards Of each other.
While we do not think it true,
vet many will believe there is an
effort to huddle the members of
the board into one community.
This impression is bound to pre-
vail when one whole half Of the
town has no representation on the
board. And to make this belief
stronger that section not repre-
sented is a section seldom given
any consideration BY the board.
The Enterprise has no criticism
of the gentleman selected to fill
the vacancy. He will look after
the neglected sections better, we
believe, than they have ever been
seen after. He is our personal
friend-an excellent, conscientious
young man-but still the idea
ought not get out that an effort
is being made to stock the board,
four members now residing with
in a few hundred yards OF one
another. We are just one big
family here. What is to the in
terest of one ought to be to the
interest Of us all, and we ought
not to be divided by strife. The
Enterprise hopes we will not be.
All sections Of the town ought to
be represented on the board.

of course, would require a special

board Of mayor and aldermen, to
look after and see tlat, premises
were kept spotless; and maybe an
ordinance requiring a more strict
observance OF the cleanup spirit
than is now in force.
Now, the Enterprise suggests
mature elaboration on this sub
ject. Let's not jump into it with
out a thorough understanding that
it will mean much money and la
Dor to be expended-saY, about
the same as has been devoted to
the present political campaign

Need for Cooperation Between State
Highway and State Prison De-

The state highway department
should hire convicts from the state
prison department in exactly the same
way as it would hire free laborers
and at the same price per day. Dur.
ing the hours of work the men should
not be thought of as convicts, but sim.
ply as employees of the highway de-
partment. No payment should be made
for single hour not worked and a
man discharged should be removed at
once and permanently, while the high
way department should have no re-
sponsibility for nor authority over the
convicts at any time nor in any man.
ner except to conduct their work or
to discharge them"
This need for cooperation between
the state highway and state prison
departments is strongly urged in q
report made to the New York state
highway department by David J. Shor-
er, who was in charge of the convict
road work in Green county, New York,
during the summer of 1914.
Mr.. Shorer's practical experience
has demonstrated the importance of
the recommendation for cooperation
between the highway and prison de-
partments in conducting convict road
work, which the national COMMITTEES

Thanksgiving in the United

and praise to God for the mercies

THE ELECTION.

The big vote Of Kenneth D.
Mcclellan Of Memphis for the
United States senate was no sur.
prise to those familiar with ex.
listing conditions in Tennessee;
and Patterson's close second to
the winner was no surprise to the
informed.
Mcclellan was a popular can.
didate from the very 20. AS the
campaign advanced his popularity
increased. OF the three, we con-
slider him the ablest senatorial
timber, but his views on the
liquor question have not suited
US. However, being the nominee
of statewide state, let US hope
that whatever personal views Mr..
Mcclellan may have on this great
issue may be secondary to those
OF a vast majority Of his con-
stituency. We have all along
thought Mr.. Mcclellan a clean,
honorable, broad gentleman, his
home being in Memphis to the
contrary Notwithstanding Our
impression of the man is that he
is a high type Of citizenship.
Throughout his campaign he con-
Quoted himself as a man should

ers what would be best for
Patterson to do, and almost to a
man the answer has been that he
should end the matter right now;
that he could not possibly win

opinion. We do not see any hope
for Mr.. Patterson in the run.off
with Mcclellan. In fact, we have
never at any time believed that
Mr.. Patterson could win this
nomination. Even were he lead
