ANOTHER ODD PLAY
;! It appears that city officials ar<
> continually pulling off stunts tha'
are not only unfair, but out anc
. out illegal. In this particular in
. stance we refer to the tearing oui
• of the electrical fixtures in the BiL
. Worth building. It seems that in
. that building the light and powei
» bill was delinquent—hadn’t beer
* paid for some time. At a meeting
of the city council in early January
McKecknie made the statement that
he was going to cut the wires to all
houses and places of business at
once if the delinquent bills were
not paid by the 10th or 11th of
Jan. There was nothing much said,
by the council as a whole re
lative to this, but it was agreed
in a way, that the move was pro
per enough.
Bright and early of the morning
on the day set, the wire men em
ployed by the city entered the hall
way of the Worth building and while
the occupants of the house were
sleeping, tore down the meters,
switches, plugs and all other ap
pliances related to light and power
of the building and mosied off with
the outfit. Now, the city was en
titled to what was due for light and
power. There is a correct way of
collecting what is due and payable
and it may take the fixtures out of
a building when the ordinary
methods of collecting fail. Worth
had received no notice of what
was coming. He had not been in
formed verbally, nor had there
been a printed notice of what Mc
Kecknie proposed to do. All that
was public about it was a news
item making a very brief announce
ment. There was no more right
to pull down the electrical equip
ment for the unpaid bill than there
might be for the marshal to pull the
front door off the place for a de
linuent city tax. If the , officials
don’t know the right way to go
about these things it is high time
ithey learned.
Who is behind all these raw
stunts? who is it that thumbs up
or thumbs down in all these city—
and oftimes private—affairs? Is it
Locken of the local pawnshop. Talk
about brains and efficiency,—whoop
e-doodle-doo! No wonder outsiders
squint sidewise at the town and
grin. The pee-pee is rather quiet
in all such matters. Locken has
thumbs down on it. Mum i3 the
word.
And in this tearing down of
( equipment, how many other places
suffered? Were any other houses
and business places, as long delin
quent as was Worth, entered with
out saying a word to the occupants,
and stripped? We guess not.
FROM BARTLEY HOWARD
Senator Bartley Howard, of the
Third Division, is out with his rea
sons for his nomination for Dele
gate to Congress at the primary
election, April 24th, 1928. His
policies appear to be no more, a3 a
whole, than what is already out
lined and under way. We have no
fault to find with his declarations, i
but he spoils his letter when he
hints—quite openly— “that eight
years is long enough for our dele
gate to be in Washington.” This is
a round about way of belittling an
opponent and doesn’t stack up well.
Undoubtedly, Howard thinks so
personally; thinks, maybe, that
Sutherland shouldn’t be in Wash
ington at all. Anyhow, the voters
on April 24th will probably make
it quite plain as to how long Suth
erland should remain.
OUT OF LUCK
When a plumber makes a mis
take, he charges for it. When a
lawyer makes a mistake, it is just
what he wanted—so he can make an
appeal or try the case over again.
When a carpenter makes a mistake,
he boards it up and nails you with
a bill. When a dentist makes a
mistake, he offers you a false sub
stitute. When a doctor makes a
mistake, he puts it in the grave.
When an undertaker makes a mis
take, he digs it up. When a judge
makes a mistake, it may become the
law of the land. When a woman
makes a mistake, “HE” pays the
alimony. When a preacher makes
a mistake, no one knows the differ
ence. When Henry Ford makes a
mistake, he takes It back. When
Coolidge makes a mistake, he does
n’t talk about it.
But when an editor makes a mis
take, they stop the paper, raise a
rumpus around the town and shoot
him at sunrise.—Deer River News.
