LET TM CITIZENS MEET,
The idea in our government is that
the people shall rule, and when this
idea is carried out there is good gov¬
ernment.
But l»y lupiiieitesa and indifference
in too many communities, the peo
pie refuse to take an interest in pub
lie affairs, fail to turn out to the
polls or the primaries, and allow a
faction to control tnattera; then mis¬
rule or ni's***n*gement almost inevil
bly follows.
It has been a long time since the
citizens of Griffin have really bad a
voice in the affairs of the city,
have nominated themselves

we have not bad a represen ta

of those who elected them.
The fault of this lies with the citi
themselves. As long as they

If his way of shaping things

kick after the election.
But the remedy also lies in the
own hands, and now is the
to apply it. Let them meet en-
a clique, or faction, er
interests—but everybody, of
gradea and opinions, resolved to
according to their unbiased oon
of the best interests of the
Let every man in the meeting
pledge himself to abide by its action
and then let a platform be formulated
and a new ticket be named, unem¬
barrassed by any candidates now in
the field—all after a free discussion
and according to methods to be
named by the meeting itself. Such
a ticket would receive the hearty
and united support of both news
papers against any opposition; and
the leaders on each of the tickets al¬
ready in the field bate said that such
a consummation would be accept¬
able.
The time is ripe, and only laggard
or half-hearted plucking can hinder
the harvesting of good frait. We
have stood our own negligence long
enough, and the progress and wel
fare of the city demand that its af
fairs receive our attention. A change
is recognized by many as necessary,
and if it is not made now matters wil
naturally grow worse rather than bet^
ter. The revenues of the city are be
ing spent and we see no benefit from
them. Six thousand dollars a year
are paid out for lights and streets
and police protection, but how much
do we get of any of these! Let every
citizen honestly answer for himself,
and if a majority are satisfied, then
let the present administration be sus
tained and let us have another just
like it. We shall then have nothing
to say against it; but we would like
to know how the people stand.
A call will be circulated tomorrow
for a public meeting to consider the
situation. There is no reason why
any oue should refuse to sign it, and
we urge that every one to whom it is
presented not only 6igo but pledge
himself to attend the meeting when
held.
