EDITOR PUBLIC OPINION =
/ see in your issue of the Goth inst.
that East DEBORAH would like to trap
West DEBORAH in to help them pay
their debts.
There are few gentry on Maple
avenue, that does the business on the
west side, who would like to have it
that way. They tried an underhanded
game, going around with a petition
and telling the people of West De-
corah that they would lose the water
works and the electric light.
This is,what the Maple avenue gentry
are doing, circulating this petition and
misinforming the people, which is the
way they do in working all such
schemes since / have lived on the west
side. We want fair show at the
poll. to vote for or against it, which
would be only justice and law towards
the people of West DEBORAH.
Yours truly,
II. CRAWFORD.

One of our Valdez College students

One of our Valdez College students
tells good story on his associate, but
IL is given to us under certain condi-
lions that no names be mentioned and
we will have to abide by our promise.
1t was Sunday and the hero of our tale
had some writing to do. The flies
were thick and mean and he hunted
up two sheets of fly paper which he
placed in couple of chairs near the
windows. That evening he went for
a walk and it was late when he re-
turned. He forgot the tanglefoot and
sat down in one of the chairs. He got
up right away and proceeded to pick
the paper off from the south end of his
trousers. AS it was bad place to get
at he took the pants off and while
cleaning them unconsciously sad down
in the other chair-tableau.

Republican Success Certain.

The republican sentiment grows
stronger every day. Not only has
the republican party live issues that
appeal to the people but the candi-
dates are such that additional en-
thusiasm is added to the cause.
Everything indicates republican
successes throughout all parts of the
country, and by greater maiorities
than two years ago. The vigorous
manner in which President McKn-
ley's administration has dealt with
every issue that has arose, including
such momentous questions as the
war with Spain, the achievement
and disposition of new territory.
the Chinese imbrioglio, he fnanci-
al problem and hundreds of other
intricate problems, the like Of
which has not confronted nation
iii over thirty years-these things
make administra tive men, and they
compel people to admire the republi-
can party.
There is new deal in state poll
tics, and notably are the people who
have been booming LaFollette jubi-
liant, but those who have opposed
him are satisfied, as they realize
there is to be more harmony and less
factionalism The party in the state
is cemented, and the nation is cou-
tent, and there is going to be a
glorious republican landslide this
fall.
