When we view the political wreck old

further than Il chance to grab a living

unable to earn a living. Look at the

buying Hides.

We have been asked several times
during the past week as to whether the
new game law permitted hide buying.
Following is the clause in the law bear
ing on the subject and you can act as
yonr own Interpreter:
1T shall be unlawful for any railway
or express company or stage line or
other public carrier or private person to
transport any aforementioned animals
Ideerl or the hides of such animals, fish
or fowls for market shipped from any
point within the state. No person shall
kill, wound, ensnare or trap at any
time bison or mountain Sheep
We should think, though, that if a
person adheres strictly to the law he
would be permitted to do as lie pleased
with the hides, provided he kills no
more than allowed by the statute.

ALL HOME PRINT.

The imperative and overshad-
owing duty Of the hour is the
Inauguration of a thorough and
effective reform in our municipal
matters. The scandals of the
aslush fund.-" the slack observance
Of the Sunday closing clause Of
the Slocumb law, the running
vide open Of gambling dens, the
daily fauntings Of vice and i'm
morality in the face Of the public,
under the present administration,
have caused a stencil in the nos-
tils Of every good citizen, and call
out to high heaven for a ~purifca-
ton. Mayor Brewer has been
twice tried and found wanting.
Gambling, the social evil, and
other irregularities, have under
his regime become more securely
entrenched than ever before in the
Gty's history. Unrighteous fines
collected from fallen women and
gambling men have been illegally
diverted from the school fund to a
"slush fund.-" which has been a
source Of unprecedented corrup-
ton. During the past two years
the lawless and bum elements have
been supreme. The TRIBUNE now
believes the hour has come when
the law-abiding citizens Of Nc
Cook must step forth to a man,
united, determined, answering,
and demand a halt and a change.
The emergency calls for the lay
ing aside Of all personal consider
atoms and religious prejudices and
for concentration upon the one
great desirable end, that Of secur-
ing q cleaner city government,
aeeded reforms in its financial and
Moral affairs. The TRIBUNE be-
lieves that these wrongs can best
be righted, the moral tone Of our
city elevated, that fines will be
placed where they legally belong,
that gambling in public places at
least will be suppressed, restric-
lions will be placed on the social
evil which now faunts it's hideous-
uess SO fagrantly and publicly,
that the notorious "slush fund.-
will sink into a hateful oblivion
by the election Of Felix Kennedy
to the Office Of Mayor. Let no
man fail to do his duty next Tues
day, and McCook will be redeemed
from a shameful misrule.
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1893-03-31

Coon people, if you feel that
McCook needs a purer city gov
eminent, vote for Felix Kennedy
fbr mayor, and The TRIBUNE guar.
artees many desirable changes for
40 better and cleaner administra-
ton of our municipal affairs.
