LET US BE coNsERvATIvELY
RADICAL

i notice In tnlS week = SeHClueI Tie
notice of the resignation Of the Hon.
]. E. Carpenter, M. B. S., stating that
| the Board was empowered to elccr his
successor. This is, to some of the tax
payers. an Inconvenience of nc incon-
siderable Importance, and to the
whole beat a real handicap.
It is stated elsewhere that Mr..
Carpenters time is worth more to
him in his business than the Super
visor's office could legitimately pay.
This is unfortunate. Maybe not so
much for the gentleman referred to,
but at least, some of the taxpayers
Of the county whose business inter-
ests depend on a w;sc and competent
administration of the County's af-
fairs, are now without any represent
tative whose duty it is to see to the
proper administration of the peoples
money. The men who pay road tax
express a desire to continue ~ do so;
they also express a desire to pet value
received for the money they work for
and pay into the road fund. None
.vant to get out; but they want to
get the other fellow in. Q refer to
the common people.)
1t is said in the pages of Holy Writ
that We should add to faith virtu"
and to virtue, knowledge, and t.
knowledge, temperance, etc.
We have some men who have be-
lieved, and, by applying the active
principle of virtue to their faith, have
learned, they added knowledge by
means of virtue. The Good POok said
then to add temperance, which seems
a very hard lesson for man to learn.
BY knowing he sees one thing he can
do: before that is nuder good head
come up for attention and for profit
that the former things don't look good
way, another thing looms up before
his vision; pretty o o so many thing;
any more. The %redeeming of a pre-
viously made promise is not to be
thought Of, for the promise, having
served it's purpose, is of no more use.
The high pressure of modern bus
ness opportunities will sweep a man
away from the conscientious fulfill
ment of election promises IL That
man has failed to heed the clarion
warning of the impulsive old Apostle
who said that TEMPERANCE lad to
be added if you aim to be true / oGod
and man. He goes on to say that pa
tience, goodness, brotherly Kindness,
butes of character to the fruit bear
and charity are all necessary attri-
er. Yea, verify, he stateth that We haa
better make our calling and election
sure. for if we do these thing: we
shall never fail; for so an 9ntrance
shall be ministered unto us abundant
IL into the everlasting Kingdom OF
Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
A temperate man will not allow
himself to become an unrestrained
drinker. eater, or any other tElng IN
which the animal in a man is likely
% get the upper hand of the human
lie VIII not allow v e profit to come
in the way of his longtime interests.
But. alas! many of our men, lead
ers seeming to be in the majority, are
intemperate-in spite Of the fact that
prohibition became nationwide TINS
month-sadly, sadly, l am almost
tempted to say, deplorably intemper-
ate.
Sut. q VINO nave iedftcu tcii'pSi-
ance, be meekly patient, and then. N
a cody manner, show b~rotherly kind
ness. and you will then be ready to
add charity. and l promise you, by
the word of God. YOU will neither be
barren nor fruitful, provided .tese
thi~ gs are all in you.
have heard it said by a COCO CT
izen that the county would be better
off without a Boar dOf Supervisors.
That was some years ago. | douos
whether Beat Two will be better OH
without a Supervisor, or even with
one. if that one is selected by TIE four
members from the other four beatS
with all due respect to thu con-
sc%ientionsness of those members: they
are not qualified electors in that Beat
Changes are taking place rapidly.
Pray God that they may be for ire oet
fer, I m Yours respectfully.
