A republican who takes considerable
interest in politics told us last Wednes-
day that he considered it very small of
Commissioners Rankin and Nay In not
electing Henry Walker chairman of
the Board, he being the oldest member.
Mr. Walker would probably not have
accepted t if 1t had been rendered him
and we are certain that he did not in
the least expect it. He understands
that the republican majority of the
Board are rank partisans and these lit
tie snubs cause him no uneasIness.
To the credit of great many republi-
cans Of Barber county, however, lt can
or said that thew do not endorse Com
missinners Rankin and Nay in the
manner in which they occasionally
treat the p0pulist member.

The Curtiss Comedy Company clos
ed their weeks engagement at the
Opera House on Saturday night in
rendering "The Phoenix" beauti-
Tul five. act drama. The house was
crowded and the play was appreciated
TO the fullest. The gold watch which
was given away was drawn by James
Gallagher. Number TIT was the lucky
number. Number SSH was drawn first
but the party holding it was not in the
house and second number was drawn.
Mr.. Curtiss and his excellent company
went TO Woodward on Monday. where
they had an engagement for the first
three nights of this week. Their plays
here were entirely satisfactory. to the
public though we learn that it was not
as great success financially to Mr..
Curtiss as it should have been. There
was great expense IN making this ap-
pointment on account OF poor railroad
service, attributable principally to no
Sunday train. We believe it they had
advertised earlier their houses during
the whole week would have been as
large as they were on Friday and Sat
urday nights, and we feel confident II
company should ever return to Medi'
cine Lodge they will be received with
great favor. They are all perfect &C,
tors and actresses and they are all cor,
dial ladies and gentlemen. Then
plays In this city were rare treat tc
our theater going people.

INTEREST IN POLITICS.

The Waterloo Courier speaks for the
adoption of the biennial elections
amendment, believing less frequent
elections would be of benefit to the
state. 1t thinks it is far fetched ar
gument to assert that fewer elections
would result in loss of general inter-
est in state affairs. THE trouble
now is" the Courier goes on to say,
that many people take too much in
terest in politics. To know the needs
of state government, and to use
ones best efforts for that government
does not necessarily mean that one
should be besieged for three or four
months each year with the arguments
and pleadings of the advocates of diff
ferent theories and practice" In
proof of the fallacy Of the contention,
the Courier points to Illinois, which
elects it's state officers once in four
years, and yet it cannot be said, that
Illinois suffers from lack of interest
in politics.
