The day is past when people who
have occasion to have their corn
ground at a mill put the corn in
one side of the bug and a rock in
the other side to balance it. Such
legislation appears as if tho coun-
cil, in its superior wisdom, thought
our town was progressing too rap-
idly and it would Ue good policy to j
give it a set-back; to advertise to j
those who miiy be in search of I
homes among us that we are not
yet out of our swaddling clothes; I
that we are a lot of moss-backs, so
devoid of push and enterprise that
we have to pinch ourselves two or
three times a day to see if there ii
any life left in us, and are patiently
awaiting for others to come in ami
buildup the town so that wo may
reap the benefits. It is rank in-
justice to fine a person for violating
a law given publicity in such a
manner. People have not got time
to go nosing around town in searcli
of posted-up ordinances. It the
city s finances are at such a low
ebb that the city can not and will
not be able to pay for printing its
ordinances, the Leader will print
them free to prevent citizens from
being fined for doing what they
thought they had a constitutional
right to (lo and put a stop to this
backward evolution, or going at
things butt end foremost.
