Editor Frank Secord, writing • in
the lastissue of the Meaford Express,
says that with the help ofthecl'cit-

jealousies that keep • businessmeslf:;•,o
the town apart, "because .the difficul-
ties are too small to talk about, but
large enough ..to block many an • .ave-
nue that -*Mild mean. more ' business

All towns have these kind of people criticize us, we: will endeavour,, as

IS the percentage of this class of busi-

without them; if there are .too many.

Of Lucknow • and received ' a pre-
ferred front page :position upon re-
quest. We received a nominal fee
w
for our ork of setting it Up up and.
Marked . it "advertisement" chiefly
for our own protection.
Questioned at that time by..this
same gentleman as to 'why we did -
this, we gave him the above reas-
on, plus the fact that if this gave
rise: to 'a series of such controver-
al articlesR-we-wombat-be-n a poste
' to' -get -something for GUT- time -
:and workof setting tpe:'•
We defy,'anyone to say we have
ever had mercenary ' motives or.',
played favourites in so far as the
Use -of •The •. Sentinel, -.columns-is__
concerned, and least of all in'the•
case of Mr. Bushell, who ,bas used
The Sentinel frequently and freely,
to • his own interests . probably • more
than any' other citizen of the Vill-
age. Mr. Bushell, himself, will have
no fault to find with his treatment
by The Sentinel, we believe.
Mr. Anderson's 'letter, while un-
usually long, as well as. Mr. Stew-
art's, was addressed to the . Editor,
in response probably, to a request
for, letters pro or con on the ques-
tion, of By -Law. No. 6. A similar
request had been made two . wee 's
earlier when a . brief article by Mr.
Bushell (no' charge) was the only
reply, and which received front
page prominence and a bold type
heading. Mr; Bushell also had a
short "letter to the' editor" in last
week's issue and all three received'�
equal 'prominence. •
So far as being against the By -
Law was concerned, we had no
Voteon the: question, and at no
time either publicly' or privately•'
tried to influence anyone as to how
to vote. Our neutrality, was based
solely on a lack of information on •
the subject. We are in no way tied
up to, or influenced in our opin-
ions by any groups or individiiat
in. the Village.
It is an unfortunate state in mun-
icipal affairs however] when it be-
-comes unwise -to- 'speak or write on
any municipal matter,% no matter
how well meaning or • how well ver-
sed en the subject that person may
be. It is a condition that appears
as if' it will exist until those well
qualified Jo be of service' to the
municipality retire and withdraw
froni municipal prominence.
• Our motive in asking for "letters
to the editor", was purely in the
sense that The Sentinel, ns a news-
paper,, had a public duty to per-
form in obtaining for the electors
as much informatiot as possible
regarding the Geddes Building, and
which,xcept through The Sentinel
waS a itely riot being receided,
and. and ' elector's were unable to
decide foil' theinse'lves how to vote.
The Publisher ' knew , nothing 'of
any letters that' might :be forth -
corning for the following„issue,, and
had definitely no knowledge that
there would be • any received.,
What rresponse there' might be,
was as likely to be for the By -Law
as a$ains't it,. but .Because ltetter's
received were ” strongly against it,
suspicion, Which is rampart iri Mun-
icipal life in the Village; *as dir-
ected at the .Publisher as, having
' a. • sinster motive • in what we did.
