stand it was simply paving the
way-a forerunner-for the edi-
torial which appeared in the
following issue. The Enterprise
has no war to make on Judge
Powers. He is a clean, able
gentleman-a man who has done
much for his county and is
deserving of some great honor
at the hands Of his county people;
and if they wish to pit him
against Garrett for congress they
have perfect right to do so.
In fact, they ought to do some
thing nice for him, for he went
into the county Judges Office and
found the county without money,
her warrants below par, but by
his iudicious management of the
county's funds he soon had Glib

trust problems to deal with? Mr..
Garrett is a member OF a number
of important committees, chief
among which is the committee on
rules. This committee makes all
the rules governing the procedure
Of the house of representative. 1t
is the most important commit
tee, having the most power, of any
law making body in the world
and yet, this small man Garrett,
is a member Of that committee.
