A Hish Compliment.

We notewith pleasure, the an
nouncement of Miss Mary G. An
derson, of Mt Sterling, for the
Democratic nomination for School
Superintendent OF Montgomery
county. We have, for several
years past, been intimately ac-
quainted with Miss Anderson and
her splendid management of that
important office, and it greatly
pleases us that our sister county
should again have the opportunity
of enjoying the privilege of her
fine executive ability, sterling in
tegriJy and ripe experience in
handling the affairs of the schools.
During the past seven years she
has administered the office intrust-
ed to her care in such a way as to
give her, not merely a county re-
putation for competency, efficien-
cy and conscientiousness, but one
that is State wide in its extent.
Ignorant and incompetent teach
ers very rarely venture to apply
for certificate in Montgomery, as
they we'll know that their only
chance of success is their own
knowledge. The school houses
have, as rule, been improved
and made comfortable and in ways
not qualified to distress the dis
tricts financially. Trustees, teach
ers and patrons have been required
to observe the common school law.
in its spirit and letter, and as
result Of this progressive spirit
tneschools are fifty per cent better
than they were eight years ago !;
better taught. better managed, and
much more comfortable and up to
date in their arrangements. Miss
Mary is a lady of rare courtesy
and politeness to all, listening with
patience and kindness to the appeals
of the sick and the poor, the
learned and the unlearned alike,
but she is possessed of great moral
stamina and infexible devotion for
the right and an adherence of in
justice and illegality, that make
the services of county official

on Oct. 8. Chss. Even, candidate
for County Clerk and D. r. Dam
iel, candidate for County Judge,
were defeated. They have filed
notice of contest against Ed Rose,
and G. NJ. Derickson, present Judge.
Roses majority was 9; Derrick
sons 16. In the contest M. A.
Phillips represents Chas. EVEN and
c. F. Spencer represents Edward
Rose in County Clerks race, J.
Smith Hays, of Winchester, repre-
serts d. R. Daniel and G. F. Spen-
Ger represents G. M. Derickson in
County Judges race. Yr
The county committee will con-
slider the contest on Monday after
the November election. The chief
grounds for the contest are that
the primary was not held in the
year in which the election is to oc-
cur, and that a full vote was not
polled because the ballots fell
short. One man said that the bal
lots were about 1876 short, another
that only one precinct of seven
had enough ballots. We make no
guess as to the result, but give the
reported facts as they come to us.

May Be a Candidate.

Judge G. B. Swango is being
implored by his friends to be-
come candidate for the legisla-

trip to the West he was inter-

might be persuaded to measure
strength with the other democrats
in the race and those who may
become candidates.

During the fusion administration b
state debt was increased. They made
no concealment Of that fact at the
time. They put 1t in their oficial re-
ports, and said that q new revenue law
Vas necessary to stop the deficit and
provide for the gradual payment of the

Tho oficial statement Of Auditor
Cornell Is the best evidence. 1t Is on
page Z of his last published annual re-
Port. Just before he went out OF once.
IIo said:
AT the close OF the biennium. encing
November 30. 1885,. the liabilities OF the
state were 81. 729. el3.47: at h close OF

ATTORNEY.

i. Some oe the democratic papers
in Platte county. in order to bolster
up their weak candidate for county
attorney, have made some ridiculous
statments.
They claim that 50 per cent Of the
criminal trials of the county during
tho past two years have resulted in
conviction. This 10 not true. Scarcely
50 Per cent Of them: have resulted In
coovicttoo, and in no instance has the
present county. attorney tried . Case
without assistance.
+ Every voter in Platte county who
has ever seen the present county
attorney attempt TO handle . case in
court. viii vote against him IL no
places efficiency above partianship.
The Platte Center Signal In . re-
cent Issue. praised Nh. Latham be-
canse he had collected $500 In fines.
Why did this paper not criticise him
for failing to collect $1,000 which was
due the. county, instead OF $500.
What are the facts about this $500:
OF that amount, $500 was received on
tho bond given BY John bale, bound
over to tho district court In the sun
Of $500 for highway robbery. Halo de.
fanlted. and suit was begun on the
bond. The bondemen resisted, and
tho board Of supervisors, fearing that
their county attorney would be unable
to sustain the action ON the part Of
tho county. weakly. compromised for
$500. when the whole amount, $500.
was in tho bank Of one Of tho bonds
men, and . good cause of action ex-
listed. and tho amount OF the bond.
$500, should have been collected in
full, making the total collections from
fines $1,000 instead Of $500.
And thus 600 of tho taxpayers money
Was lost because their county attorney
was not qualified to advise the super
visors.
r. ". Hobart would have saved the
county this e90O and he would not
permit the supervisors to vote the
peoples money away illegally to pay
democrstic newspapers for printing
the supervisors' proceedings.
The question OF county attorney ID
. business proposition. The voters of
Platte county want . M to look
after their legal rights who 10 honest
and who 10 capable Of prosecuting q
suit without drawing on them to hire
an assistant.
We have no desire TO ay anything
Of . personal character against Mr..
Latham % anything that will affect
his business when he turns his Office
over to Mr.. Hobart. And in fact
there 10 little need to say anything at
all. Platte county voters know there
10 not IN attorney In Platte county
better qualified to look after their in
terests than Ar. Hobart. and they
will elect him by good safe majority.

About one hundred and fifty people
assembled ut the Congregational
church Friday night to hear the Hon.
Clarence +. Swander, prohibition
candidate for governor, OF the princi-
pies of the prohibition platform. The
meeting was opened with music BY
Prof. Poole's string quartet and closed
with . vocal duet BY Mr.. and Mrs.
J. E. Erskine, which was we'll re-
ceivad.
Rev. W. N. Halsey introduced the
speaker. after making . few remarks
tending to illustrate that when . man
votes for q prohibition candidate, he
is not wasting his vote provided he
believes in the policies for which that
candidate stands.
Nj. Swanson il not an orator, but
he il ~clean-cut, ready speaker. and
he held tho cloee attention Of his
hearers throughout his address,
He won the confidence of his audi
once in the beginning by telling them
that he held no prejudice against
either the democratic or the republicans
because his father was . republican
and his mother 0 democrat.
He then proceeded to discuss the
prohibition platform, speaking In sub
stance ~ follows:
1.-THE reason why the prohibition
iEts have . distinct platform 10 that the
drink question il greater from . moral
stand point and greater from the
standpoint of dollars and cents than
all others. We should leRislate for
the soul % well as for the pocket book.
The churches cannot keep mp the
work of Righteousness and christian
ity alone. They must have the help
Of political parties''.
The speaker then took mp the fnan-
cial side OF the question. calling stten-
ion to the large amount Of money that
must b spent in the thirteen Colum-
bus saloons. He said in part::'1n 1903

amounted to 81, 800. 600. 900 more. max
ing q total of more than three and

took mp tho Slocum law to prove that
the business of selling liquor is wrong.
He asid: "Thls Law says to the saloon
keeper: Thou shalt not sell thy goo lis
to . minor. it is wrong. But thou
may'st sell to . young man any day
after he is twenty.one. Thou shalt
sell to an Indian, to an idiot or

thus provides better legislation for

The point was made that the law
says the judgment of one Temperance
man il better than that of thirty saloon
men, for It requires thirty names on

Ing further ON the legal aspect Of the
question Mr.. Swander declared:
According to decisions OF the
preme court. saloon me have no in.
herent right to sell liquors. And no
legislature has the right to barter
away the public health and public
morals. Restrictive legislation will
never drive out the saloons. Saloons
have increased under restrictive laws.
And q tolerant attitude toward the
evil makes is easy to do wrong ami
hard to do right" Speaking OF the
governments attitude toward the ques-
tion he said: 1.-THE government is
friendly to the liquor traffic. 1t places
it ON . legal basis and protects 1t. The
government itself sells liquor over
seven of Its own bars in seven out
tho eight national soldiers homes IN
the United States. making an annual
profit Of 1900 which it turns into

The address was closed with . re-
to the position Of the two
