The people Of this county have not
forgotten that when Sheriff Avery took
charge of his Office he tried to collect
off of this county for opening and
closing the probate court every day
in the week and would have done it
commissioners turned his bill down.
At the meeting of the board in April,
1898, he presented bill of $I21.5O for
attending the probate court, but Joe
Bridges was on the board, and it failed
to get through. Another bill that
failed was when the boy who escaped
three times, got away the second time,
be was located over in the northeast
corner of the state and Avery sent a
deputy after him. and on his return a
bill was presented for the county to
pay. The board cut this down to act
Itual expenses and paid that. Avery
should have paid this, as the expense
was incurred as the result of his care
lessness or Incompetence. Notwith-

miliar, the Mercury says this candi-
date should be reelected on, his rec
ord. We would. like to know what
kind Of . record would be considered
sufficient cause for turning down a
man. The fact is these politicians on
the corner did nob want Avery renom-
mated, but were afraid to turn him
down. Wellsthe people of this county
will do what the p. o. corner gang
were afraid to do. The woods are full
of good fellows, but what the people
OF this county want is good sheriff.
They pay for one and are entitled to
get what they pay for, and that is
the reason why they will elect Joe
Bishop.

Some time ago we we're told that it
was an offense against the govern
ment for federal office-holders to take
n hand in politics. That must have
been under a democratic administra-
tion for the federal appointees in this
state seem to have the reins all in
their hands. Wherever you can fnd
a postoffice with back room you will
find gang presided over by. the po-
litical boss-that is. the postmaster.
A federal ofice-holder is supposed to
be the servant of the people, but under
the present administration he is sup
Dosed to ut least be the boss of his
county and to show his faithfulness to
his trust at the polls.

The republicans tell US that Mr..
A 6arhOld has made q good Officer and

The republicans tell US that Mr..
Aderhold has made good officer and
consequently is entitled to re-elec-
tion. We would like to know how
they know he; has. made good officer.
We were told the same thing as to
Hanson, who WAS the last republican
clerk prior to Adethold, and yet when
we got at the facts we, found that he
had made q good officer for Hanson,
but poor one for the county, as he
had kept all of the fees coming into
the Office, and these fees were the prop
erty of the county. The commission
ers finally had to threaten him with
prosecution in order to recover what
belonged to the people. We do not
want to be understood as ever insinu-
ating that Mr.. Aderhold has done
anything of this kind, for we don't
think he has. We simply mention this
to show easy it Is for man to get the
reputation of being good officer when
the reverse of the proposition may be
true. The law very wisely specifies
that in some Offices the incumbent can
only be reelected once, and we be-
lieve the principle is a good one, and
should extend to every Office in the
county, as the only way we have Of
knowing how = man has done his
work is to put sonne one else in, SO
that the office can be checked up. No
one doubts but that Max Boettcher
will make q good officer. as he has
done so in the past and will do it
again If elected. The county has done
well by Mr.. Aderhold and furnished
him a good living for the past four
years, but that is no reason why he
should be kept in Office the balance Of
his natural life. Pass good thing
around and givesomeoneclse chance.
This county was not organized en-
tirely for the benefit of one family.
