NO INCONSISTENCY THERE.

NO INCONSlS ENCY THERE.
An esteemed democratic contempt
a pretends to feel %righteously in
dignant toward the president because
of a difference of ~utterances in a
message to congress last winter and
in his speech of acceptance. In the
former he referred strongly to the
evidence of official corruption that
had been discovered in of the
departments of the government, while
in his acceptance of the nomination
he referred to the cleanliness of the
government as administered in all of
its branches. Because of this it
charges him with inconsistency and
an effort to be .'all things to all men,
This charge is downright dishones-
ty and prompted by the %intensest of
partisan spirit. At the time he de-
livered his message to congress the
conditions he SO earnestly deplored
undoubtedly existed, but, thanks to his
robust -fearlessness and determination
that all branches of the government
DE honestly administered, he could
later t%ruuhfully say as he did, Never
has the administration of the govern
ment been on a cleaner and higher
level; never has the public work of
the nation been done more honestly
and efficiently" Between the time
Of his message to congress and his
speech accepting the nomination for
the presidency, Roosevelt had made
DIT possible for him to say all he did
concerning the purity of administra-
tion of national affairs by the different
departments of the government. II
the contemporary referred to doubts
this a brief research of the records
will convince it pf its error.

FAST THINNING N

A glorious, yet sad spectacle it has
been given to Boston to be the wit
ness of during the week now drawing
to it's end. Through it's streets pass
the remnant of the grandest and most
powerful army that was ever muster
ed under pne flag. It's achievements
and victories are the most glorious
ever credited to any army that as
sembled to battle for home and nation,
the cause for which it fought the
hottest that ever called for sac
rifice from patriots. Invincible in
war and unconquerable in battle, its
members are fast surrendering to the
ravages of time and yielding to the
silent enemy who compels the proud
est and MOST powerful to lower their
banners to him and surrender uncondi-
tionally. For the most part old,
decrepit men, many still bearing the
marks of conflict in the loss of limbs
and the scars of combat, they en-

Court was in session this week but
was rather devoid OF interest except
to litigan5s. The only case tried was
Hawkins VS.. Eniow. In this Hawkins
charged Enlow with burning up lot
of feed and asked for heavy damages.
Enlow filed cross bill of dam
ages and nearly every one liv-
ing near the east line of the county
was in as witness for one side OR
the other. As is usually the case
where a neighborhood takes sides in
a suit the testimony was very con-
fiicting. It was stubbornly fought at
every turn and resulted in verdict
of S400 for Hawkins. As this amount
destroyed it means tina, the jury
thought that Enlow destroyed the feed.
The case will be appealed to the SUI
preme court.
Will Stach's wife has left for parts
unknown and the court granted him a
divorce. Mrs Todd made the same
complaint of her husband and she

Chiids VS.. Brewer. an implement
case, was settled by Brewer paying
part of the claim.
Cody VS.. Brewer went over the term
on demurrer. Mr.. Prigg, attorney
for defendants, asked to have Brewer
and Stewart released from liability
in the case and let Cochran stand the
suit. The court could not see it that
way and the case went over.
The case against Ernie Sarver was
dismissed.
Bester vs.. Johnson was knocked out
of court for lack of Jurisdiction.
In the liquor cases Wilson, Rens-
from and McAfee failed to appear
and their bonds were declared for
feited. This catches the bondsmen
for $500 in each case. 1t will be the
duty of the prosecuting attorney to
begin suit on the bonds if they are
not satisfied.
