Show SIGNING PETITIONS Circulating and sigr.ing petitions is a form of pastime among certain classes of people which amounts to little more than a fad. And among that class, any kind of a petition is good. No matter what it's object, they'll sign it. And nine out of ten of them will sign another one the next day of opportunity presents itself, in direct opposition to the one they have previously signed. Most of such petitions peti-tions get about as far as the proverbial prover-bial "snowball." Good, level-headed citizens, men and women of stamina and good judgment judg-ment don't sign every petition that is shoved in ther faces, and as a result, when they do sign one they give it more weight than do a whole string of the other class. And people to whom such petitions are directed usually attach more importance im-portance to a communication from one substantial individual on whose judgment judg-ment they can rely, than to a petition ' signed by ten thousand of the rabble. j Times, Parowan. |
