after some days he called at the doc
tors office and got some more of the
medicine. Some weeks later when
the doctor was mailing statments to
his patrons, he sent this man his ac-
count with the usual suggestion to
please remit. When the check came
in, the doctor was somewhat puzzled
to observe that it was just four dol
lars short of the full amount, but on
the back of the statement he found
penciled words about as follows: at

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS
CURRENT COMMENT.

THE damned IL you do, and damned
II you don't criticism that at GEAR
ly every election is made against city
officials is not only harmful to the
city itself, but is having the effect Of
depriving the city of the services Of
men of eminent business abiltl and
aeumen. Only few years ago a
candidate for mayor was rounoly
abused because he had "done nothing"
in the way Of improvements. Today,
Mayor Rose and his administration
are being criticised because they '.svc
done something. This spirit exp,sias
why capable business men refuse 70
become candidates for office-why the
city is deprived Of their executive abil-
ity, business sagacity and trained con-
structive genius.
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1919-04-17

THE principal argument being used
against Mayor Rose is that he has
run the city in debt. But no mention
is made Of what the city received for
the money expended. THE indebted
ness items are given in the news col
umns.) The building Of the Wash
ington street cement bridge, the maxi
ing over of the waterworks pumping
plant 80 as to afford efficient fire pro-
lection and increase its capacity to a
point where il would meet the con-
stantly Increasing demands of the
growing city, the Improvement of the
streets. the extensions of the water
mains, the purchase OF supplies for
future requirements-al these and
other Unforeseen demands upon the
city's treasury naturally caused in
debtedness. But that indebtedness is
far from being serious or menacing.
In fact, the charge falls fiat by the
side Of the character of the improve
ments and the value received for the
money expended. At least two Of
these mprovements---the bridge and
he pumping plant--ae permanent.
The expenditures were such as any
business man would have
made In his own personal affairs and
OR which he would not hesitate to 20
n debt. This indebtedness charge is
IS silly as II is exaggerated.

but, according to whak appears to
be authentic information. the war de-
partment is going right ahead COM
pleting the 1868 tanks contracted for

think of for this wanton waste of
money is that the Democratic politi-

Through all the years of his residence
In Emmett-through his four years
service in city administration--he has
taken a mans part and has refused
no call to service. In the creation Of

In every endeavor that had for it's
object the upbuilding of this town and
county he has never hesitated to give
freely Of his time and money, of his
splendid talents and sound judgment.
Those who have been through the
thick Of It, know what he has accom-
piished. They believe in his honesty |
OF purpose and his conscientious de-
votion to duty. We believe the peo-
pie Of Emmett will recognize the
correctness Of this position. We do
not believe they will longer consent

THE Sunday picture show question

FTHE Sunday picture show question
is one purely for an individuals
conscience to settle. The man who
votes according to that prompting is
above criticism. To allow his preju-
dices to outweigh his best Judgment
is wrong. The Index can see no harm
in a Sunday picture show from
moral standpoint. We do not believe
Emmetts standard Of morality been
lowered particle during the last two
years because of Sunday opening. To
many the Sunday theater is a recrea-
ton, and is many cases the only OPP
portunity they have during the week
to attend a performance or entertain
ment Of any kind. This is especially
true Of the men who are in the night
shift at the sawmill, and it is no more
than justice that such workers be
provided for. That is the broad
minded way to look at it. 1t is to be
regretted that over-zealous supporters
should malign those who do not agree
