WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH GRENADA?

And Grenada is considering reviving within her midst the old
fashioned, twelve-foot hog pen. What a come down for a town
that has boasted of its beauty and of cleanliness so long. Our
friend Lawrence of The Grenada Sentinel will have to crawl
down and cease his talking about Beautiful Grenada" and it's
being such a "fttin' place to live in. Hog pens at the door do
not run with present day standards and civilization.-Winona
Times.
Well. there will be no crawling down upon our part if the
town does 90 a-hogging. Our skirts are clear. The skirts OF
the City Health officer will be clear, and so will the skirts OF
the Chief Executive Officer of the State Health Department,
|Dr. W. S. feathers, be clean. In opposing the hogging of Gre
W. have no other motive than the best interests OF the
whole town. the best interests of all its people.
We are free to confess that if a majority OF the people ofthe
town do decide to put the "Hog" brand on the town. that Tor
Etba nonmunity's sake we shall feel a bit mortified, and we are
TO saw that our people will be stopped from talking about
|Grenada's being such a desirable place IN which to i've.

ORDINANCE WILL NOT HOLD WATER.

We are no lawyer but we have a common sense opinion about
many matters that are come up for judicial determination. We
do not believe that the proposed IL feet hog ordinance will
square with the law, even should it be passed. 1t limps in at
tempting to take the judicial determination of whether or not
a hog pen is sanitary out of the hands Of the law reinforcing Off
Ger and placing it in the hands of either the county or city
health officer. We do not believe that this will hold water.
We have the of-hand opinion of-several mighty good lawyers
which bears US out in this view. Further, suppose, for exam
pie, that one of the health officials did not want Bill Jones or
John Smith to have a hog pen at all: Under the provisions of
the proposed IL feet ordinance, the health officials could pro-
nounce the pen "unsanitary" and the aforesaid Bill Jones or
John Smith would have no appeal.
The matter of whether or not the pen is "unsanitary," is one
for judicial determination and no ordinance is valid that at
tempts to take the enforcement Of any statute out of the hands
of the proper law-enforcing officer.

"B" DOES NOT LIVE IN GRENADA.

A communication under the caption, I'm favor of the hog
appears in this issue of The Sentinel over the signature of "B:'
Inasmuch as "B" does not live within the town of Grenada it
seems to us that what he says is quite like the doctors "absent
treatment" Furthermore, what "B" says about how a "sani-
tary pen", should be built is not within the range of probabili-
ties in Grenada, hence that part of his communication is also
valueless so far as it touches the point at issue.

There can be no flaw found in Oscar JohnstonS II year re-
cord in the legislature. All agree that he is a very able man
and that his record as a legislator is highly credtable. They
concede that the is honest. Many, who have not announced
that they will Support him, say that he is the ablest man in the
race. Let the reasoning mind ask, why is he not the most suit
able man in the race for Governor? Thing this over and look
under the reasons assigned for being for any one else.

We feel sure that the man who asked his neighbor to sign the
petition for the Hog" election and assigned as a reason fer
his request that he was opposed to the ordinance requiring a pen
fifty feet square for each hog because his whole lot was barely
that large, and a little room was required for his nouse' and his
yard, did not fully realize how he was indictinp himself.
