AN UNWORTHY INSINUATIOS.

A vote for Miss Classify the Repub-
lican candidate for Superintendent of
schools is a vote for superintendent
who will not demand $15 from q
school board when requested to go
out into the country less than q
dozen miles to investigate the con.
duct of a school. Miss Classify will
be satisfied with the salary the law
allows for the Office and not demand
anextra fee for doing her duty as the
law requires .-Republican Press.
The above is a direct intimation
that the present superintendent lie
guilty OF the offenss OF demanding
illegaliees, which Prof. Maxey brands
as msliciously false, in a card over
his own signature, in this issue.
But Mt. Maxey is not the Demo.
cratic candidate against Mics Classify,
and the full meaning Of the above is
that Miss Classify alone would stop
such illegal practice, an implied infer
ence that Prof Ives would be guilty
OF such acts.
Now, we can hardly believe that
Mr.. Funk, as ultra partisan as he
has proven himself, would charge such
a thing against a man like Prof.
Ives, without a scintilla of cause or
reason therefor. 1t is evid, mt that
he did not fully weigh the meaning OF
his words in the above article, or II
he did, then he is deserving OF the
condemnation Of the honest and fair
minded voters OF all parties,
The Democratic papers have treat.
ed Miss Classify with the utmost
courtesy and consideration, and de-
cency would require that the Repub-
lican organs, II they intend to assault
Prot. Ives, that they do so on his own
record, in a straightforward, manly
way, and not over somebody else's
shoulders, for whose acts he is in no
way responsible.

THAT 5000 SLUSH FUND

Our lawmakers endeavored to re-
move the schools as far as possible
from partisan politics when they pro
vided for holding school elections in
the spring, several months separated
from general elections. The use oil
money in general elections 10 bad
enough and stringent laws have been
passed to eradicate that great evil,
but how much worse for one Of the
political parties to raise q large slush
fund for the purpose Of corrupting
the voters in carrying school cleo
tions. 1t is currently reported that
the Republicans have raised q slush
fund Of $500 to elect their candidate
for school superintendent? This has
been public property for some time.
Each township was assessed It's pro
rata Of that amount and collected,
or attempted It's collection at the Re-
publican township conventions.
Does any one believe the legitimate
expenses of either or both parties in
Bates county will reach $500. There
is no Legitimate way to spend that
amount OF money in the campaign.
Then what are the Republicans GO
ing to do with that sum? Will the
honest, sturdy voters OF Bates coun-
ty approve OF such methods in the
school elections? We don't believe
they will.
