Show When Bi Men Become Childish i I low inn; is the old sayiiiK, "Whom the Gods wish to destroy they lii'rtt inulie nuid." 'I'his u think applieei 'to our llonoralile County Commissioner, (). A. Sinoot and (his man Friday) J. W. Gillman. They both got anp.ry at election time and are still carrying on a fighi at the expense of Lin; county and to tho disgust of all thinking citizens. Twist week Ihey wasted the time of at least ten county officials for tvvo days while a court decision was being secured to determine whether or not they are going to pay tho salaries of three depuities, who have been duely appointed and are serving in the capacity of depuly slierilTs and clerk iu the treasurer's office. Because the all-mighty Commissioners Smoot and Gillman did not sanction the appointment of these men 'they have declined to vote their salary checks, hoping thus to force them from office. Being truly within their vested rights these deputies have continued to hold office until w;h time as a successor is appointed and since no successor suc-cessor will be appointed, their salaries must be paid. railing in their lirst attempt to force their personal demands the commissioners have filed an appeal, hut thanks to the law, the court coslo of the District Court must be paid and the costs for the higher tribunal advanced personally by the individual commissioners, and only their lime u-i to be further wasted in the needless battle. It is to be belied that this childish play of our county commissioners will soon end and the business of our great commonwealth will he looked look-ed after. We express the i't elbig of the public when we say, Give TJs MEN for Public. Work. |
