I've spent a bunch of money I had no business to spend. And then to keep everything hustle up, I have to go on voting for more of those things until the amount of unnecessary if not illegal expenditures. I've stood for it just something appalling. You don't need me to tell you that the kind of roads you have to go to town on and the way your taxes keep jumping up have shown you just how much of a business head I've got on me. Please let me stay in just once more. I bet I'll be more careful. They say if you can't be good, be careful, and I'll try to be careful because I know I'm not much good.
There's another reason why just got to be county commissioner again. I like the salary pretty well. It comes in handy and the way I do the work, it's mighty little trouble to me and almost no responsibility. But apart from the salary, the way I get most good out of the job is because I own part interest in a store that I try to make the farmers think they can get profits out of too. Most of the farmers seem to think that a commissioner is a pretty big fish in the town puddle, and it brings them to the store because they like to trade with a commissioner and think maybe he will favor their district some; Father Pecoul spent the summer 1914 in France and has since that time by letters and periodicals kept in close touch with the conditions the French nation.
