ITWEEOLEDEBa and TWEEDLEDUM,
The st. Thomas Times takes a long
part Of a column in trying to prove
that the words relocate" and tire.
moval" mean the same thing, though
1t proves concluslvly that they don't.
The Times says, the county seat
might be relocated without being re.
moved but 1t cannot be removed
without being relocated. And the
Times also says the latter Is the point
which VIC IRE SO foollshly arguing.
That however, Is not the point.
Mr.. Huger's illustration is correct
In that 1t shows there is difference
In the meaning of the words, but is
not correct 10 making that the point
of discussion. There are two distinct
questions in the county seat removal
business, and anybody can zee 1t with
out quoting half 9 column Of dlction-
ary.. The questions are; first. are the
people DESTROYS Of removing the coin.
ty seat at this time. Second, II de-
srous Of removal, where are they de.
sirous of removing TO? 81
We do not expect that Editor Har.|
er will be able to distinguish between
these two propositions, but the fact
remains. that large numbers Of the
signcrs Of the petition supposed that
u vote would answer the first question,
leaving the second question to he de.
termined 10 subsequent election,
and some SEQ Of these same signers,
on learning that the vote asked for,
combined the question Of removal
and the question o. the place Of re.
location, hive asked to have their
names taken from the petition. They
understand the difference.
A large majority of voters might
be in favor Of removal, when ut the
same time no one town could get
more than minority vote for reloca-
tion. At this time, we believe that
the majority are not favorable even
to the abstract question Of removal
Of the county seat, and we are very
centain that no one town can get a
majority for relocation on a vote.
Mr.. Hager says the difference is
only that "tweedledee and tweedle-
dunn" In this case tweedledee is not
easy and tweedledum Is where the
trouble comes In Cavalier might be
able TO get the former, but Hamilton
10 much more likely to get the latter.
Cavalier might work the removal,
but Hamilton get the relocation, but
according to Mr.. Hager and his die
tlonary, "this is u distinction with.
out q difference"

a BOARD OF CO. EXAMINERS.

0SeSssssesNeS@S~s
How does this idea strike you? At
present the board Of county commits
sloners and the state examiners are
the officials whose peculiar business
1t is to audit county officials' accounts.
It needs no argument to prove that,
for one reason or another, this most
duty Is more often neglect
ed than properly performed.
AS to the public examiner, he has
too much to attend to, and he lacks
the necessary local knowledge to be
able to do the work properly. The
boards Of county commissioner are
often composed Of men who In a gen.
eral way are capable and able for the
ordinary duties Of the board, but lack
the clerical knowledge Of a book-keep-
or, and the legal knowledge pertain.
Ing to matters Of taxes, fees. and
funds. which are necessary Qualifica.
tions Of board of examiners.
How would 1t do to elect or appoint
aboard, OF say, three examiners for
each county? Men whose qualifca.
lions for such business are apparent,
and whose character as business men
Is established, whose duty 1t should
be to make q thorough examination
Of the books, accounts vouchers, and
methods Of each county once. ut least

the fact that this business would be
their sole duty In this line, would pro-
badly do much to remedy the evil aim

important business.
The principal objection would be
the expense, but II the commissioners
did their duty, then their perdiem
would amount to as much to do the

CHANGE AT ENTERPRISE.
O. M. Case Buys the Hoffmans Inter
est in the Bank,

An important change in the manage.
ment of the Enterprise bank took place
today when Q. NJ. Case, cashier, bought
out the large interest in the bank held
by g. Hoffman and G. b. Hoffman.
The gentlemen have been largely inter
ested in the bank since its organization
but their extensive outside business
matters made it advisable for them to
drop that portion Of their property.
IL will make no particular difference
in the banks business except that Mr..
Case who has long been the real head
Vt the bank becomes chief owner. En-
terprise has long been acknowledged to
be one Of Kansas most substantial and
prosperous towns and will continue to
advance IN prosperity. Mr.. Cases well
known ability will make the bank still
more successful and worthy Of conf
dence.
Hoffman & Son will build large
addition to their mill in the spring.

the teachers for practical psychology

The Examiner OF Banks Compliments
the Abilene National.

National Bank Examiner Charles
Sawyer, who has this district in charge,
spent yesterday in the city making his
formal visit on the Abilene National
and expressed himself as highly pleased
with the banks condition. He com
plimented President Hollinger ard
Cashier White upon the banks able
manageme Mt and substantial advance
ment. The banks statement showed
cash on hand TO the amount OF 81 per
cent of its deposits, an exhibition of
strength that is abundant evidence Of
its solidity. Abilene is proud OF her
banks and 1t is pleasant to note that
they rank among the best In the west.
They are not only accommodating their
patrons but show a conservative man
sgement which wins confidence from
abroad.
The Abilene National is having its
annual election of directors today. 1t
is not likely that there will be any
change in the institutions manage
ment.
