STAY OUT OF POLITICS.

The United States government
he's q rule that no salaried officer
of the government may take an &C,
tive part in politics. We do not
know how we'll the rule is respect
ed, but it is a wholesome rule.
Before the advent of the present
mayor we had the same rule in Alb
beville with respect to salaried city
employees. 1t was also a whole
some rule, and should be re-estab-
lished by the new council, and suit
able penalties provided for those
who break the rule.
The people will not have much
respect for a government that al
lows the paid representatives OF
every citizen in the city to "button,
hole" one man in favor. of another
man and against a third, nor of an
officer who seeks to retain Office
through political methods rather
than a faithful discharge of his du-
ties TO the entire public.
The city government has not been
improved in this respect under the
leadership of the present mayor.

GOOD MEN AM TRUE.

The people have selected as man
ayers of the water and light plants
three gentlemen of business ability
and integrity. They were opposed
by men who had the support of the
powers that be in this city. They
were misrepresented by men hold
ing city jobs, and all manner of
charges were urged against them.
The opposing candidates had the
support of the Gambrell-Neuffer
machine. They had the support of
personal friends and kinsmen, no
doubt, of the Superintendent. Just
how many influences were brought
to bear on the voters of a purely
personal nature we cannot know.
The gentlemen running could urge
no such considerations. They were
nominated by citizens of the city,
and supported for no other reason
than that they were good men. They
received a clear majority of the
votes, and such majority as indi-
Gates that the people are not salts
fed with the manner in which these
plants were sought to be manipulate
ed, and that they believe that these
plants may be operated with more
profit to the people and less expense.
The new Commissioners will serve
without salary so far as we know.
We hope that they will. The small
salary which they might receive
would not pay a man worthy to
hold the position for his time or
any part of it worth while. They
will see that, the public interest is
served and that private rights are
respected and protected. A fair
deal may be looked for and we hope
that the administration of these de-
partments under their supervision
may be of benefit to the city.

to give great pleasure to the little
boys was that Pershing had cap

Crown Prince thrown in for good

the Crown Prince, and Richard Hill

Prince and Willis Harrison said it
was $4,000 and the Crown Prince"

THE FIGHT STILL on.

The City Council will soon be re-
organized. The members of the
City Council are the representatives
of the people in Abbeville. They
should not knowingly do anything
wrong or against their conscience.
But on questions referring purely
to a b~usinesslike administration of
the city's affairs, they should re-
spect the wishes of the people who
pay the taxes and foot the bills.
For that reason we are reproducing
today the platform of mayor-elect
Mars.
We reproduce his platform be-
cause he is the only candidate who
came out openly and boldly for a
change in the manner in: which the
streets have been worked and other
departments of the city managed.
He led the ace in the first primary
on the issues made. In the second
primary he was sought to be handi-
capped in some quarters by the
charge that he was the candidate
of the editor of The Press and
Banner. He was opposed by all the
forces opposed to the things for
which this paper contended. Those
city employees who felt aggrieved
at the position of this paper and
the position of Mr.. Mars on these
questions worked assiduously against
him. His election is al endorse
ment, therefore, of these demands
at the hands of the people.
For this reason we say that the
members of the city council should
give attention to his platform. Re-
forms are therein demanded which
the people by electlng him nave ask
ed for. Will they get them at the
hands of the city council?
If they will not there will be an
other election next year, and an
other, and still others. We are en-
titled to a correction of abuses anc

sion and Abbeville should do herself
