FOR A GREATER SHAWNEE.
Shawnee la uow starting on a new
era of prosperity with a new aduiinls
tration in charge of city affairs. The
Shawnee News believes In Shawnee
and In Shawnee people There are
inauy things yet to b. done In our
march to greatness The city officials
should enforce ail laws without feur
or favor, the laws are the expression
of the will of the people and were
not made to be broken Shawnee is
not a lawless town and never has
been, but like all other towns there
has been some lallessness In Shawnee
Law |s not a terror to good works
All other works should be destroyed
as detrimental to public morals and
public decency When cliques or city
officials attempt to override the will
of the people, which Is the law of the
land. It Is time to call a halt The
lawless element when brought to sur
face are only a very small gang and
not terrifying to anyone. They are
submissive to city officials whenever
th<:>.> chosen servants of the people
command them to obey In the name of
the law No onu Is superior to the
law.
The News hopes that the present
administration will not only make
this a greater but a better epoch than
any preceding one. It la an Injustice
for some of the things to be overlook
e.l that have been heretofore It Is

It is good news to hear that the con-

seeing the error of their ways and
anxious to make the cousiltutlon what
