A lot more effort for general advance-

ABOUT MORE IIHTIOXS
Possibly Sapulp* is not tbe beet
governed city in the world, and tls
likely that Improvements could be
ma<le However, to have a job lot of
•lection* each change of season does
nol appeal to Th*- Light as being u
way to make a <dty thrive ami do
those commercial empire making
■Aunts so requisite in this game or
city making
If there were public clamor for
change: were there two good things
to he accomplished, then and then
only would It be good public policy to
be shouting for elsottons. We are on
the verge of a great business awaken-
ing and some mighty stride** will he
made this spring toward putting Sa-
pulpa over In the list of Oklahoma
cities above the 15,000 class, and no
one ever accomplished much in city
making while elections are being
held so often that a change is beng
made when work on civic improvement
should be progressing
In accomplishment. Individuals are
nol to allow private likes or dislikes
to blind their mutual interests for
general improvement, and since the
commissioners noma elected were hut
recently before the people for election
•ml were triumphant, it sluiala to
reason they are the choice of the ma-
jority; and It is surely |M*ialhle that
we can accomplish more with straight
going ahead than by agitation of cer-
tain people for private ends, no mat-
ter if their purpose be of the highest
patriotism. The Light recognizes there
will be no election and noi c is lidd-
ed, but the constant jarring around
end quibbling inspires no good and Is
barmful lo an extraordinary degTee.
