from tho REAL ISSUE of tho cam

necessity of a court houso adequnto

ty Is a nogllglblo quantity. Tho now
court houso will como only when this
county v.otes bonds for it, nnd In that
election tho mnyor, no mnttor who ho
is, will have but ONE VOTE. Ho can
not force the Issue, neither can ho
block it. He is but one man with but
ono voto. hTcrofore, forgot tho court
house issue. It Is cxtrnncous.
One of tho candidates says ho is

tho mayor to say on that question?
Tho roads nro improved and maintain

good citizen but ho cannot force the
hand of either county or stato officials
in tho matter. Besides, tho Chamber
of Commerco is doing commendable
work along that lino. Good roads Is
another extraneous matter.

tho matter of paving an issue. When
tho property owners abutting any cer

of property owners object, it fails.
Tho mayor, fortunately, does not pos

Wednesday the Central Labor Union
came out with an endorsement of one
of the candidates, asserting that ho
has always been in sympathy with
them and supported them. UNION
LABOR is not an issuo in this elec
tion. Tho organization of unions in
this city is a matter of tho past fow j
months. It has never been an issuo
in this town and is not now. Why
drag it in by tho heels?
Everyone will admit that there arc
a fow areas in our business district
which nre "eye-sores" to tho public.'
Ono candidate says he will clean them
up. HOW? If they aro a public men
ace to safety tho state fire warden can
compel tho removal of the dangerous
buildings. If they arc a menace to
the public health, tho local board of
health can abate them. But, tho may
or has no more power to compel tho
owners 'of said areas to remove build
ings or build new than ho has to force
tho owner of a vacant lot in tho res
idence district to build a house on that!
lot. It is all "poppy-cock." Furtun
ately some of us know better. We
know It Is but a "voto catcher," an ap
peal to the unwary.
