The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1922-04-04
How SOME PEOPLE DO RAVE.

Some people have but little sense and never
use what they do have. This has been brought
out very forcibly the past few days when some
fellows began TO froth at the mouth on account OF
articles which appeared in the Avalanche in its Fri.
day edition. The articles referred to signed
by Citizens Committee and old brother ac-
cused the Avalanche OF writing il and slipping this
non deplume under IT, This editor is not in the
habit OF doing things like that. and back up
what write in every way When an article APP
pears in this paper unsigned or without having some
other marks OF identification IT. we are respon-
sible for it, and we are not lacking in courage to
back il up. when necessary We had no more to
do with that article than many other citizens OF the
town. We did not write word OF it. and possibly
would not have written II just like 1t was had we
undertaken it, but we believe that the meaning and
intention of this article good. and for the best
interests of the city. We confident that the
government of the city of Lubbock will rock right
along regardless of who elected. We do not
think there are any boneheads. mutton heads, or
bolches offering for the positions They are all
citizens of this town. and will no doubt make a
honest effort if elected to do the best they know
how and feel it is to the best interests of the
munity We do not feel that it would be best to
put an entirely new bunch at the head of the city
affars-that would be poor business in any line OF
commerce to make absolute change OF the man
agement and we dare say would be less
disastrous and we doubt whether the voters of this
city will do this in the election tuesday We be
eve that II is better to have part OF them drop out
at different periods that there will always be some
members of the commission retained. in order that
the many things that come up during the years can
be more easily understood. and the work OF the
commission will be expedited. So far as the Ava

The Avalanche is for good government We
re for economically conducting the affairs of the
ity but we are not in favor of some kinds of eco
omy. which prove very expensive some times, and
ack of experience has proven very expensive in7i
Iced many times. i
What the city Of Lubbock will need is good
business men to keep it in good condition just the
anne as other business concerns. What most
oncerned about is getting the people to vote. We
elieve they will select the right man. il they will
