BRUNSWICK, GA„ SUNDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 14, 1906.
JUDGE SYMMES MAKES
A TIMELY SUGGESTION
He Finds a Solution For the Present
Mayoralty Mix-Up and Submits
His Plan
Mr. Editor: Amid trials and tribu
lations over the mayorality situation,
l thought I would suggest a compro
mise solution of the situation which
might be acceptable.
Both Col. Goodyear and Capt. New
man are unquestionably good mayor
ality timber, and it mignt be conced
ed, in a technical sense, that Senator
Symons and myself were fine mayov
ality splinters.
This town, in its seven-league
hoots, is striding with a bold step,
and we all trust successfully, to the
plane of a greaf city, and it may need,
in the executive conduct of its af
fairs, something more than the ordi
nary bi-pedal mayor. Possibly it has
already been demonstrated that such
an one is riot in keeping with her pace,
so if such a thing is possible, a well
adapted, properly adjusted, quadru
pedal executive would possibly be
more in keeping wifh her progress
and times, and would nest answer
the demands. To the end, therefore,
and for as much as all things seem
possible with politicians, especiali)
the Brunswick politicians, I thought,
in my humble way, I would rise to
propose that all four of the candi
dates that seem to be slated, tagged,
nagged, and ottered, baud together
after the fashion of the manufac
tured, hand made elephant that we
sometimes see brought into the circus
ring for the amusement of the small
children.' and thus united run on all
fours as the united mayor of a united
Brunswick, and so hold the office.
How would that do?
Now. to illustrate my plan: We
will use grand, patient, BrunswicK
loving, never-kept-aown, but always
on-his-feet-again Colonel Goodyear for
the head and shoulders of the quad
rupled mayor. Then we will taae
conservative, faithful-serving, never
rewarded Captain Tobe Newman for
part of the breast and body and the 1
front legs of the collossus. I, both in
recognition of my fitness, and tne
better to parade my humility, am will
ing to he the hind legs, and supply
part of the body; Capt. Newman,
with his feet, as they always are,
turned to the front, leaning back
wards, and T leaning forward, shall
entwine our arms around each otner
so as to form the body of this animal;
Col. Goodyear sitting astride us
about where Capt. Newman s hips will
ue in the make-up, and if need be,
on my head —for I, too, must serve
the people, if required, at a sacrifice,
if I have to be sat on to do it —shall
twist his legs around me and tne
Captain, and thus unite the animal s
head to Its body; then we will re
quest Senator Symons to further
sacrifice himself for the public weal,
and to come and get astride us along
auout my lumbar region, and if neeu
oe, on Capt. Tobe’s head (for that
seems to be in keeping with the way
the politicians use the Captain), ana
wrapping his legs firmly around Cap
tain Tobe and me, yet not tignt
enough to cut, lacing to the tront,
and folding his arms across his
breast, as if by command, he shau
throw his body well to the rear, ana
become i tie tail end of this twenticta
century mastodon. Of course. Sen
ator Symons, should he consent to
this, would be expected to hold his
head high as the animal moved along,
for this quadru-pedal mayor must have
his tali curled well in the air in sued
an age of progress.
.Now. i meet with some embarrass
ment in suggesting Senator Syrnon a
consent to be the quadru-pedal may
or's tail, lest he should take it offen
sively when no personal affront is
meant, and the suggestion arises from
the necessity of the thing, arid is
made for the public good, because
Senator Symons would not do for this
mayor s head as any unbiased person
would agree; he wouldn’t do for the
front legs, inasmuch as nis legs are
so much shorter than mine ttiat it
would incline the -mayor down hill,
and that would be bad when we are
just now looking up; nor would ne
do for the hind legs, his legs being
also so much shorter than the Cap
tain s, it would give the animal,
while an up-hill touch in keeping
with our advancement, yet a giratte
like appearance, which to some ex
tent would be awkward. If I had pro
posed to play tail-end myself, the sug
gestion might be open to the criticism
that I was trying to ride on tne
Senator, when be had already carried
too long, and too many burdens, ana
Ills supporters might urge that there
was unfairness in the suggestion, in
that when the beast went forward,
Col. Goodyear would be head of tne
procession, and if they backed the
animal I would be In the lead, and so.
whether a movement of progression
or retrogression, it would be anti-
Symons. So it seems that the very
ntness of things and tne ethics oi
the situation require 1 should sug
gest the Senator for this mayor’s tail.
And then it occurred to me, as ne
seems determined to run, tnat if ne
would taae this position, his friends
might christen the quadruped tne
Brunswick political kangaroo, and in
compliment maintain that its streugtn
was in its hind parts, the fact that
the kangaroo's strength is in its hina
legs to the contrary, notwithstanding.
Of course, 1 perceive they would be
embarrassed in taking that position,
both because it would tickle my van
ity some, and might give offense to
Captain Lobe Newman besides, wmen
they would hesitate to do, —but any
port iu a storm.
From un economical standpoint,
should our mayor and council take
stock, directly iu the new trolley lino,
with such a -mayor as i have suggest
ed It would be well for the town; for,
with tne willingness of some of tn 9
component parts of this quadrn-pedai
mayor to hold down a situation when
ever help is needod, should an oft
street car horse be disabled on one
of the runs, the other might be blind
tolded, tne colossus hitched by its
side, and the cars kept agoing.
Of course, this is a sort of a Jules
v ernes-iike suggestion, a kind of a
journey to the moon, so to speak; but
anywhere for light, for aid and ro
iiei—to t’ne moon if need be, to Mars
if can be; and who knows but that
tne improvements which the astrono
mers through their powerful magnify
ing glasses see going on iu the planet
Mars, and are taking for great canals,
are but the initial lines ot Brunswick s
trolley system, double-tracked ana
heading this way in a jiffy, and whicn
may yet combine the universe with
one great Saratoga-uunk, trans-space,
inter-planet, star line!
Well, just as you like it. If the
suggestion don’t meet your approval,
why turn it down. If the Captain
won’t play forelegs, and the Senator
won t play tall. 1 11 kick out of har
ness too, and refuse to play hind legs,
and we’ll make anew departure, ana
run a mayor with a head (and a
heartj but without a tail. And that a
as well, anyhow, for its heads Good
year wins, tails Symons looses.
Very truly yours,
COURT LAND SYMMES.
I*. S. —I’ll be at the meeting Mon
day night, and explain my views
about trusts and combines, positions
and impositions, and answer the gen
tlemen who sent me that petition, tor
it turned out to be a petition, not a
bill. ' 3.
