ItI I
The party who this week with
draws his patronage from the Dem
ocrat : because last week we men-
tioned . tthe good management of
: the town board probably in having
the water tank and tower fall on
Main street at a time when every
body was off the street , takes the
wrong view of the matter. He has
been a faithful patron of this pa- i
per for years and we are sorry he
! i takes offense now at our article
: which he takes to be a direct criti-
cism of himself. We placed him
before the caucus and he was nom-
.
inated and elected on the town .
board. We believed hewashonest
and conscientious and we have no
reason yet to doubt our previous
impression , He was not the leader
of that body , , being one of the new
members , and with different lead-
; ership and association might have
. been , and is personally- above cri
ticism , for we think he has tried
to work harmoniously with the
board and with conscientious scru-
i pIes , however he may have been at
I fault unintentionally. ] ) The writer
-has a habit , or fault as sumc de-
nounce us , of being outspoken ,
though sometimes a friend is criti-
cised , oftentimes through associa- ;
.
tion with others. All men are not
perfect , and we 'have our faults.
Perhaps , as is generally common ,
we each see others faults better :
than our own. ;
THEY DUB US "A KNOCKER"
-.The reckless extravagance
1 our City Dads in permitting the i
. old tank to crash to the ground
when it might have been lowered ,
and saved several hundreds of dol- ,
lars is only another proof of their i
. . incompetence or gross negligence ,
or both. They seem to have been
simply waiting for something to
happen to relieve them from the
necessity of acting , while every
body wondered why they were so
slow to wake up , get busy , take the
tank down and save the expense.
.If the City Dads didn't know
how otherwise to spend the city's
surplus cash and the $21,400
they've levied for running . expen
ses the coming year they might
have squandered a few paltry dol-
lars building street crossings
where they have ordered side-
walks. We \ need the sidewalks all
right but we think there are little
gaps. here and there that might
.
. have been filled up and it would
look better for them , and the peo-
. . . . . ple would feel much better about
it. Fill in the gaps and make
street crossings and do something
right.
They call us a kicker for prompt-
ing and a knocker : for calling at-
tention to their blunders.
Some folks say we sire a knocker !
That with pencil in our hand :
. .
AVe cnn bent H kllic ! cruOl'H'l' !
Raising dust from out the sand.
That our pencil sounds like thunder
When our language wears a frown-
To those who don't get from under
. When the water tank comes down.
. ; -There was plenty time we ponder ,
"
'For our "Dads" who run this town
' To have water stored up yonder
And to take the old tank ! : : down.
. . . .
They don't take to kind l advising ,
When suggested for all good ,
,
And they wait fora surprising
Like the old tank's splintered wood.
Should we mince at speaking plainly ,
Or apologies rehash !
Just to make our "Dads" feel vainly ,
After Having such a crash ?
If they know the people's feeling
. And went on with blindly stride ,
While the old tank was a reeling
Humbled then should be their prI < ll' .
, "Yes , the work should all been faster , "
. "But the obstacles " we hear , ,
Brought delay and this < 115I1s1 < : ,1'-
Yet they wasted all last year.
. - You don't know a thing about It !
. , 'J ( with them you don't a l'ee- , I
, : ' vThey have knowledge you're without It ,
. f . . . . NTicy assume . to you and ne. .
And If one should be complaining
, After all this reckless waste
Y/ni're a knocker unrestraijilng ;
. , Xvii must tlaiite to suit tlitir ( tasto. i
