A petition is In circulation asking Vim
| Rahr TO be candidate for Mayor of tine
, city. The purpose IS to have the election
| DOB partisan The position of mayor re-
quires sacrifice on the part of the per-
son accepting it and no person willing to
serve the public gratis should be asked
/ to solicit support. There should be nc
contest for position which is purely
honorary anG in which service receives
| no recompense. There should be no con.
test this spring and people should gladly
accept service the efficiency Of which nc
one can question. Any good man willing
To accept the burden should receive
u .nimous support.
There can be no better man elected
than Mr.. Rahr. He is energetic, public
spirited and abreast of the times. The
city administration has been mindful OF
public interests for some time and has
not hesltated to respond to progressive
sentiment. That spirit should still gov

former conventions. A contest is unde

issued for Mr.. Rshr should receive the
Endorsement of both conventions.

HAVE WE A RIGHT To BE IN
BUSINESS.

From the way some of the merchants
in this city act, it would seem that We
have NOT.
Prices are being cut down, great bar
gain sales are being held. and the gener
al pnblic is the gamer, this is all done
since we started our Cash Bargain Store.
We certainly did nothing for which we
deserve punishment. Being born ard
raised III this city and lived here 40 years
it would seem to any sensible person that
we ought to have the right TO BEIN BUsI-
NESS. We don't want to make great
howl, unless IL becomes necessary, but
the public ought to know a FEW THINGS
The fact that we started in our new lines
has been the means of putting many
thousand dollars IN the peoples pockets.
We do not clam to sell below cost as the
druggists advertise they do. Our prices
are lower than THEY quote, still leaving
US small margin. We carry stock of
lneuiC.ues as is customary in SUCH STORES
and the people who derive the benefit
should decide whether or not we are en-
titled to share of their trade. We had
no intention to run a DRUG STORE but to
meet envy and malice We WILL increas.
our stock in that line.
Another indication that we are not
to buy goods of any wholesale dealer or
manufacturer who sells US, if their NC
BILE o. intentions should work, then We
could not oh ain goods, aud they would
keep right on with their OLD TIME PRICES
but fortunately we CAN get ALL THE
GOODS WE WANT as long as we can pay for
same and if the people will appreciate
what We ere doug for them by patroniz.
ing Us we will do all in our power to fur
nish you goods at prices which are up-to.
date and compare with the wages you
are getting. The plot to scare us ont Of
the market will FALL FLAT, for We are
NOT built that way.
