Some do it for pastime, others do it because they were concerned in a mercinary way, and others do it be cause it is their profession. In some cases the criticisms may bo justifi able, but in most cases it is the re suit of difference of opinion where every Iwdy is wiser than his neigh bor. Let any one '.mild a house, patch a bin ii or paint a fence and the same result will ensue. Our Commissioners are just now getting their slime of damuings with the rest. "Yull'll I"' ililllllird U .Mill il'l You'll I"' ilalnlii'il If .Mill ilnii't." seems to be the watchword, and they are evidently at times much annoyed. Some of the criticisms may lie just j liable, but a a whole, we believe they have acted from pure motives and the very best they knew for the taxpayers. To satisfy all is beyond anybody's ken. Too many bosses is worse than no boss at all, and any mistakes that may have occurred are often due to rrith'K who recommended the very actions they are now the most loud mouthed iu condemning. One thing is certain no one owns the Com missioners of Snyder county just at this writing, and no one has the audacity to accuse thein of dishon esty.
