WHO MAKES A CITY AND
HOW DO THEY DO IT?

In accepting the Democratic nomi-
nation for Mayor of Palatka DR.. A. NJ.
Steen made such broad charges of
civic responsibility that we are
constrained to believe that he forgot
for the moment where responsibility
rests. AS to the merit or dement's
of his charges against individual at
taches of the city administration or
of city departments there is no issue,
so far as we are concerned. But
when DR.. Steen declared that the peo-
pie of Palatka have shirked response
bilities, have remained indifferent to
opportunities, have failed to do their
proper part by the community, he
raised an issue of irresponsibility and
Indifference in which involves him
as we'll as others. He announced,
with evident satisfaction, that he was
not member of any "club, clique or
organization" and certainly imputed
an impotency in those which have
been organized for the advancement
of Palatka.
We regret the circumstances of DR..
Stems intemprate remarks. He was
speaking in the capacity Of represen-
tative of a party which to say the
least his critical analysis of the
stewardship of this party was ILL
timed and little calculated to bring
about that harmonious cooperation
which he so vehemently deplored. 1t
was especially inappropos, to our
mind, since the efforts that have
been made here during the last few
years for advancing the interests Of
the city have been without the whole
hearted, or even half hearted assis
lance of the speaker. He has beer
conspicuous, as he stated Frida!
