A FAITHFUL PUBLIC SERVANT
The members of the Farmers Union are deeply pleased at,
patriotic action of President Ohas. S. Barrett toward the Farmers’
Union. It was his desire, and announced intention, to retire from
office at the end of his term. lie had so. stated in positive terms,
and all who knew him and his business conditions, knew that
was not only his real desire, but that it would he greatly to his
personal interest to retire from the office which he had held for
terms.
The membership of the order, knowing his superior qualities,
and feeling that to place its destinies at this stage in the hands of
a new and untried officer, might retard its usefulness,
him to witlidraw his positive determination to retire, and to
another term. This he wisely and patroitically did, and will steer
the destines of the great order for another year. The wisdom of
its membership in making this demand upon him, and his patriot¬
ism in yielding, are alike commendable.
When the public have found an official that is faithful to
trust; capable, honest, it is unwise to exchange him for another.
We do not do this in our private affairs, If we have a faithful
and capable employee we keep him as long as we can. Why should
the same rule not be followed with a faithful public servant? We
are too much inclined to elect a man to office because he is a clev¬
er fellow, rather than because of his capacity and fitness.
this, more than for any other reason probably, the public
suffers. An office is not a favor to be handed around to those
like best, though many consider it so. A public office is a
trust, committed to the individual for the good of the people and
should be given to whomsoever we deem best qualified for
work,
We have, in .this congressional district, a condition very
lar to that which confronted the membership of the Farmers’ Union
before its recent convention in Birmingham Our
in congress, Hon. Gordon Lee. is serving his third term. In each
successive term lie has proven a moie useful member than in the
one proceeding. His services to the district have been more pro
htic of material good than those of any of his predecessors. He
has given prompt attention to ail business intrusted to his care. He
has secured for the district larger appropriations for public works
and buildings than it lias ever before received. He has secured the
payment of many claims of private citizens for damages to prop¬
erty taken or destroyed by Federal armies. He has procured the
payment f< r churches destroyed, claims for which had been before
congress practically ever since the war. He has secured large ap¬
propriations for the building of public roads in and near the gov¬
ernment reservations. He has vastly enlarged our rural mail ser
vice. He has succeeded in having the Coosa placed upon the ros¬
ter of rivers that are to be opened for navigation by the Federal
government. He is advocating government aid for good roads.
These are a few of the leading items that have enlisted his
active service to date. Several of these plans are yet far from
complete and will require the fostering care of an able and experi¬
enced representative for several years.
Unfortunately for the district, Mr. Lee lias stated that he
would not be a candidate for re-election, and quite a group of as¬
piring gentlemen are pushing forward for his seat. As an original
proposition it might have been that any of them would have made
us a good representative, but the plain fact now' is, that none of
them, whatever their native abilities, could be half as useful to
tile district now as the trained and experienced hand we have at
the job. lie has the work started and well in hand. He has the
acquaintance and friendship of the men who are potential in de
termining the future of the work. He knows when and wliere to
strike to get results. He has obtained this experience and power
while in our service and is, therefore, our debtor for it, VVe have
a right to ask, to even demand of him, that be lay aside his per¬
sonal wishes in the matter, as did President Barrett, and let 11 s
return him to congress for the completion of his worK.
If we are not very much mistaken Mr. Lee is not a man who
will say “No,” to any reasonable request of his people, and there
is no doubt whatever but what a large majority of his constituents
desire, and will demand his return to congress next year.
It is somewhat premature, it is true, to bring this matter for¬
ward at this time, inasmuch as it is nearly a year until his succes
sor is to be chosen, but it will be a kindness to the distinguished
gentlemen who are maneuvering for his seat, if the people will put
them on notice as early as possible that they intend to send Mr
Lee back to congress next year. Some of them are contemplating
resigning lucrative offices they now hold in order to make the race
for congress; others are doubtless neglecting their private business
while looking after their political fences. If the people will be
candid with them and tell them plainly that no change is contem¬
plated in our present representation in congress they will be saved
some expense and much embarressment. Such, at least, is the
firm conviction of those who have given the matter thoughtful
consideration.—Dalton Argus.

On last Sunday evening after
the shades of bight had hidden
from view, the ordinary scenes of
life, the quiet of Judge Oamp
ble’s home was disturbed for a
short time by the appearance of
two of Spnngplace’s most popu¬
lar young people, asking, amid
the blushes of the bride-to-be,
and the stammering, through
bashfulness, of the groom, tHat
they be made one, which the
Judge, in the presence of his
family, proceeded to do, thus,
sending on the matrimonial road
Mr. Grover Henry and Miss Ma
tme Pendley. While the affair,
which was not known until Tues¬
day, was a very pleasant surprise
to their friends which are num
bered by the score. All join in
wishing them prosperity and liap
piness.
