There have been times when we
actually envied Mr.. Rockefeller, the
Standard Oil magnate. his powerful
financial position But, since we have

editor can do to perfection, it is to

throw at the birds, and have to stand
in the corner and see Mort Fits eat.

The town of Great Bend has
three of the best papers in the
state, the Tribune, Register and |
DEMOCRAT. For the past six
months we have been trying toI
make up our mind which is the
best of the lot, but have at last
decided to call it a sstie'' and let
the matter drop. They are all
good, and better than they ought
