The contest between E. M. Wolfe
and Judge K. 1. Perky for the

led to a very sharp contest which
promised to grow sharper as the
campaign progressed, but it has
been settled in the manner stated.
The men have signed an agree
nent in which each pledges him
self not to be candidate for any
position at the election this fall.
Fhe signatures are witnessed by

IN LINCOLN
The Sheriff Withheld the Saloon
License Money

The Sheriff Withheld the Saloon
License Money.
The Shoshone JOURNAL accuses
Sheriff Jones, of Lincoln county,
with having withheld the license
money of all the saloons in Sho-
shone, that was paid him the first
of April, and paying it in to the
county treasurer last week when
the saloon men were threatened
with arrest fol running without a
license.

fourth of the money due from the

Gov. Hunt Did 1t.

Once more the supreme court oi
Idaho has decided that a woman is
a sort of unnecessary adjunct, when
it comes to handling a business,
No matter how worthless husband
she may have, her property can be
taken for his debts. She cannot
engage in business on her own ac-
count, and cannot sue, except with
b husband.
Last winter the legislature
passed a law to correct this evil.
but Gov. Hunt vetoed it. Since
then several women in Idaho have
lost the accumulations of Il life
time, earned by their own hands
and brains, through having their
property taken for the debts of
worthless husband. That VETO
alone will cost the democrats this
state, unless they promptly disa-
VOW it in their platforms.-Mont-

OLD ISSUES ARE DEAD
1t Appears Difficult to Harmonic
the Factions of Their Party
This Year.

WASHINGTON. D. G. July 3.-Tnt
leaders of the democratic congress
ional committee have been holding
frequent secret sessions in this CITY
in an endeavor to reach some salts
factory conclusion as to the issues
which they shall put forth IN the
coming campaign.
1t seems to be a serious problem
and one which is causing the mi
nority in Congress considerable
uneasiness. 1t appears to be diff
cult to harmonize the different
factions of their party. A policy
which will meet with the approval
of the rank and file of the faithfuln
is causing the leaders sleepless
nights.
Mr.. Richardson, the minority
leader in the house, announced
some time ago that anti-imperial-
ism would be the real issue; but
a change seems to have ''come over
the spirit of his Dreams" 1t is now
given out that tariff reform, or
tariff for revenue only-Qt used to
be calleG free-tradel-w be the |
principal congressional issue, while
anti-imperialism, anti-trusts and |
several other 'anties" which are
the sole stock in trade of an "anti"
quated party are to be used when
needed.
The democrats have worked hard
to manufacture campaign material,
by wholesale abuse of our Ameri-
can soldiers and sailors. They
soon learned fcom their constituents
that this procedure was meeting
with disfavor and would not be {
tolerated. A change of tactics was
essary. From rankest slander /
and abuse, the minority began 70
extoll the soldiers. This specta- /
cular performance was so ridiculous
on its face, that it was stamped in t
ts very inception as a laughable /
grandstand play.
The quick action of the Admin a
stration in dealing with the beef 7
'om bine has knocked that under
inning from democracy's support. d
still undaunted, the minority o.
eaders saw with alarm that Uncle v
'amuel was about to gobble up poor u
title Cuba. The establishment in
he Island of Cuba of free and in
dependent Republic, and the
of President Palma on y
lay 20, has once more demon -
rated the false prophecy of the :,
inority leaders and robbed them -
the privilege of making clown
odden Cuba an issue. ~
Ba
Let us ask ourselves, in common
ason; What real campaign issue b;s
IS democracy with which to 90 otE
fore the people? Does the hand we
of democratic leaders believe Iii
ey can catch the votes of ros-
rous people by such clap-trap J
1t as they propose to fasten to Oh
'ir political hook and line? We ";

DOES NOT DENY THE FACTS
But Thinks We Should Not Have
Criticised His Actions.

There is blood on the pale, pal'
moon. In our last issue we called
the attention of our readers to the
fact that Charles Jones, the high
sheriff of Lincoln county, Idaho
had failed to turn into the county
treasury the money he had col
lected for liquor and pool table
licenses shat were ordered by the
county board on the first OF April.
| The reason that there may be
blood on the moon is, that the high
sheriff called the editor of this paper
to task for the article, and in
language more forceable than polite
told the editor not to put his (the
sheriff's name) in his paper
again, and that if he did Che the
sheriff. would slap ye editor.
We Informed the sal sheriff
that we would criticise his official
acts at any and all times when he
was not complying with the law.
The money for these licenses has
now been turned in except the
license collected for pool tables last
January and the sheriff must have
it still in his Office instead of in the
treasury where it belongs and
the receipt and license is in the
auditors Office yet, and the county |
records and statutes Will bear US
out in these statements of facts.
The whole case is this, and every
reader of the JOURNAL knows it is
true and the law. When the ooard
meets it grants liquor license if ap-
plication is made accompanied by
a bond that is approved by the
board and the board allows the
license. 1t is then the duty of the
sheriff to collect the license. go to
he anditor and secure despot cer-
ificate on the treasurer; the treas
lrer gives the sheriff a receipt in t
duplicate, the duplicate to be filed |
With the auditor who upon receiving I
t must issue the license and the a
heriff must deliver the license to /
he party for whom it was issued, a
which shows that he has paid his e
icense and is allowed by law to ?
ell liquor. This the sheriff did
ot do. He collected the money
nd kept it instead OF turning it in
} the treasury; he did not deliver q
ne license to those who had paid Il
'r them, with the result that the P
lloons were running without lie. l.
lse, and there is still one license p
lat he collected and has not turned D.
up to date, to-wit, that of Thos. W
ay, and also the pool table licenses pl
r the first quarter of this year, IL
ON January 1st, 1902 to April 1st A

Jones knows he did not comply II

Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1902-12-11

That the Herald is conceded to
be the best advertising medium in
the county is evidenced by looking
over these columns today. Our adj
vertising patrons are not throwing
their money away when they buy
Herald space to tell customers about
what they have to sell-they
wouldn't do it if they did.
There is the man behind the
counter and the man behind the
gun, the man behind the buzz saw
and the man behind his son; the
man behind the times and the man
behind the ploughshare and the man
behind the fence; the man behind
the whistle and the man behind the
bars, and the man behind the kodak
and the man behind the cars; the
man behind the whiskers and the
man behind the fist and everything
behind a thing is entered on the list.
But they have skipped another fell
low of whom nothing has been said,
the fellow who is even or just a lit
tie ways ahead; who always pays
for what he gets and whose bills are
always signed-he's a blamed sight
more important that the man who
is behind all we newspaper people,
merchants and the whole CONNER
cial clan are indebted for existence
to this honest, noble man; he keeps
us all in business and his own town
is never dead-and so you will take
off your hat to the man who is
ahead.

CATALOGUE HOUSES.
What They do for Country People and why
Should they be PatrOnized.

It is Just at this season of the year
when the crops are about garnered,
and the farmers have a little ready
cash on hand, that the big depart
ment stores all over the country
commence to flood the mails with
their ponderous catalogues in which
they advertise everything that the
average man may desire, from a
Single nail to house to live in and
that, too, at prices with which
your home merchant cannot COM
pete"
Now all this sounds very nice in
print and the goods and prices may
be very tempting, but-did the
farmer and it is to him the majority
of these catalogues are sent, ever
stop to reason over the folly of pat
ronizing such firms. First, do they
help to pay your taxes-nO; do they
give you credit when you want it
no; do they carry you the year
round as do the local merchants
no; will they take your produce in
exchange for merchandise as do the
local merchants no; do you know
the members of the catalogue
houses as you do your local mer-
chants, or have they ever called at
your homes to pass social hour
no; do they care picayune for you
only SO far as your money goes-no.
Then why not patronize the home
dealer? Give the merchant who
stands by you the year round the
patronage. He is the one who car
ries you through flush times and
panics; he helps pay your taxes; he
builds up your community; he is en-
titled to your patronage, then why
not give it to him instead of the
catalogue supply house. Lancaster
has merchants who carry complete
and exclusive lines, and they can,
will and do sell you better goods at
less prices than the catalogue estab-
lishment. With our local dealer
his honesty and business standing
and integrity are at stake-they
want the money before you get the
goods, that's all. Don't knock against
your home merchants by sending
cash orders to the catalogue con-
Germs. Spend your money where
YOU look for tat home.

loafs on the corners in noisy debates
with men, and loafs around bust

the world, and strangers especially,
are just dying of love for her, who
attracts the attention of strange
men at every opportunity and is
bombastic with her vocal organs
