Together with the usual spring sandstorms and high
: winds, comes into the life of our commurjty something
of equal and even more harmful force, the whispering
| campaign. It is generally part of the wind and blow
that makes our political campaigns what they have been
in the past and what they seem to be now.
It really seems like the people in Borger are tired
of politics. There is very little talk about the approach-
ing city election. This may be the quiet before the
storm.
But there are those who are trying to start a
whispering campaign. This consists of telling it about in
whispered conversations that are stopped on the ap-
proach of a stranger, that so and so is a dirty so and so.
You get this on the street, corners and over coffee cups
in cafes. But you never see it printed and never will
because it is not the truth and it would be dangerous for
anyore to print it.
There is nothing so dirty as running down a man's
character or that of his friends for the sake of winning
any political campaign.
Beware of the man who takes you into a dark alley
to tell you how rotten so and so is. Dirt dished out in
that inarner is distasteful to any right thinking man and
generally does the teller more harm than it does him
good. Clean thinking people resent it.
Let the truth be printed regardless of which politi-
cal side it may embarrass. If what the whisperer has to

tell is the truth, then it should stand the
printed word over the signature of the
who know it to be the truth.
If we can, let us make our coming city election a
clean campaign. It can be done. State the facts, clearly
; i d honestly, but state them where they can be seen bv
all of thq people.
Your paper does not indulge in a whispering cam-
paign. You will always see printed in this paper just
what the editor honestly believes to be the truth and
nothing else. We are not afraid to print the truth and
no one else should be.
And the people deserve to know the truth.
Your editor takes this opportunity to urge that all
prospective candidates in the coming city election, give
careful ar.d serious attention to the matter of approach-
ing the utility question.
It is true that we have low nas rates, IF WE DO
OUR PART TO KEEP THEM HERE.
What we now need is an adjustment in water and
lectric rates!
Spring will soon be here and if water rates remain
as they are, again a beautiful season of the year will go
by with no lawns and flowers for Borger.
Frankly, the people canrot afford to water their
lawns and gardens at the present high rates.
And the people are having a hard time paving
their high electric rates together with all other expenses
that cut into salaries and incomes.
Let us reason this out carefully.

Repair Work On
High School Gym
Nears Completion
Repair work on the Borger
high school gymnasium, damag-
ed by fire on Jan. 26, has practi-
cally been completed, according to
Supt. B. C. Shulkey.
The ceiling has been finished,
and workmen have started re-
painting the interior, the superin-
tendent stated. Tan paint, replac-
ing the gray, will make the gym-
nasium much lighter.
The lighting system has also
been improved. Lights are now-
better placed, doing away with
shadows and improving the gym-
nasium for playing, Shulkey said.
An exceptionally good grade of
flooring has been received and
will be laid diagonally across the
present floor within the next few
days. When the flooring is com-
pleted. the gymnasium will have
three floors, making a good, solid
base, shulkey said. He added that
