GOVERNMENT SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE
It is simply wonderful how the
character of our national govern
ment is being so rapidly trans
formed in the interest of the peo
ple since Woodrow Wilson became
President of the United States last
March. The currency bill, which
will be the greatest act that has
passed Congress in the last 50
years for emancipating and un
throttling business, will be passed
and become a law most likely be
fore Christmas. The scope of the
oarcel post service has been great
ly enlarged so that on January 1st.
1914, the Post Office Department
will carry packages weighing up to
50 pounds within 300 miles of the
point of shipment. Furthermore,
it is well known that President
Wilson and the Postmaster-Gener
al are now seriously thinking of
recommending to Congress that
the telegraph and telephones be
taken over by the government, as
they have been in England, France
and Germany, and run in the in
terest of the people instead of in
the interest of the stockholders.
Cold storage is a necessity and
so is chloroform. Yet each lends
itself readily to abuse.
Sometimes enterprise and pro
gress does not pay. Eggs were
cheap enough before we had incu
bators and cold storage plants.
That White House wedding set
a good example to many so-called
funny people in that the guests did
not try to kidnap the groom or oth
erwise annoy the bride.

The Union Saw Mill Company
will pay $50.00 as a reward to any
one, not in its employ, who will fur
nish information from which any
person shall be convicted of depre
dating or trespassing upon the tim
ber of said Company.

A CARD TO THE VOTERS.
Circuit and Chancery Clerk B. E. Miles Ex
plains Position in Seeking Reclection.
To the people of Union County:
Owing to the fact that the duties
of the office require practically all
my time, and as my time belongs
to the people whose office I am
filling, it will be impossible for me
to see a great many of the voters
whom 1 would like to see and talk
to personally. So I take this
method of letting you know 1 am
in the race for reelection to the
office of Circuit Clerk and earnest
ly solicit your support.
1 am making the race upon my
merits, if I have any. and upon the
record of service 1 have rendered
during the time 1 have been your
public servant. From the exper
ience 1 have had in the line of work
that belongs to the circuit clerk's
office I feel 1 have reached that
point of efficiency that will enable
me to render better service for the
next two years than 1 have in the
past.
1 believe the people of the county
are awake to the fact that the se
lection of men to fill the various
offices of the county should be
based upon experience, qualifica
tion and merit, and the time has
come. 1 believe, that calls for qual
ified and efficient men in office all
along the line from constable to
governor.
I have been tried, and weighed in
the public balances and whether or
not I have come up to the full meas
urement of duty 1 submit to the
people of Union county in whose
judgment, intelligence and fairness
1 have an abiding faith.
And, if in your judgment 1 have
come up to the full requirements of
duty, served you honestly, faithful
ly and efficiently, treated the peo
ple right and given satisfaction then
1 ask, would it be good business
judgment to put me out at this
time, when 1 am only asking for
one more term, and elect a man
that you have never tried?
The same question might be ap
plied in the various business rela
tions of life; if any one in the coun
ty. whether a merchant, a banker, a
mill man or a farmer snould have a
person working for him. or in his
employ, whom he had tried and
tested in all the various duties for
which that one had been employed,
and after he or she had become
thoroughly familiar with every de
tail of the work he or she had been
assigned to do, and that person had
proved himself or herself to be hon
est and faithful and in every way
satisfactory to his or her employer,
then would it be good business
judgment to turn that servant off
and hire a new hand at the same
price, who had never had any ex
perience. The person with the ex
perience can certainly came nearer
up to the standard of efficient ser
vice that the one who has had no
experience.
There has been a great deal said
about four year rotation in office,
but when you analize the proposi
tion there is nothing to it except
the fellow out of office wants to be
rotated in. Now, let’s see. There
are about 3,200 white voters now
in the cc unty. and there aie quite
a number of them, no doubf, who
would like to have an office, but
according to the two-term system
it would ‘ake forty years to give it
to ten of these 3.200 voters, sixty
years to pass it to fifteen, eighty
years to give it to twenty and one
hundred years to give the office to
twenty-five men. Then the bal
ance of the 3.200 voters might
just as well be wiped off the politi
cal map, as far as their holding of
ice is concerned, for they would
all be dead and gone long before
che twenty-five men would have
served out their terms, and in fact
part of the twenty-five men would
be dead before their time come
around. So can't you see how im
practicable the proposition and how
impossible it is to pass the office
around? Now then, if it is impos
sible to pass the office around and
less than twenty-five men could
possibly expect to hold the office
in one generation, would ;t not be
a good and practical idea, if ycu
have a man in office that has giver,
satisfaction, to keep him there for
at least six years?
Now, fellow citizens, I am asking
your endorsement for only one
more term, and, in asking your en
dorsement for the next two years,
1 fully realize that the office is
yours and you have a right to ex
ercise your own judgement, and
will, as to whom you will select to
fill that office, and when you have
expressed that will at the polls
next March, then your choice will
be my choice.
I have tried faithfully to make
you a good officer: I have answered
every call to duty as best I could:
I have not manifested a spirit of
selfishness in the financial affairs
of the office and tried to accumu
late money: 1 have been tne poor
man’s friend and never refused to
do his work because he didn't have
the money to pay for it; 1 have
subscribed liberally to every en
terprise that looked to the better
ment and wellfare of tho people;
I have tried to treat my fellow man
the same as 1 would have him treat
me.
And now in conclusion 1 wish to
say that no man in Union county
will appreciate your support more
than 1. and no man can or will be
more loyal to the people than I
have been, and, if you should favor
me with one more te-m. I will ap
preciate it more than 1 can express
and in return make you a better
public servant for the next two
years than 1 have in the past. And
when 1 shall have served you for
the next two years I will step down
and out and turn the office back to !
the people free from the stain of
inefficient service and go forth
with unmistakable evidence of a
duty conscientiously and faithfully
performed.
Your humble servant,
B. F. Miles.
