BRING ON PROOF.

The News under gIaring headlines
attacks the chief of police in rela-
tion to an alleged disreputable house
on Monticello avenue. The very
first paragraph of the attack CON
ta;ns a falsehood, as Eold resident"
never until last Saturday night COM
planned about the place and has not
since complained So, that is not
making repeated complaints
At the time the complaint was
made the chief informed him that
Saturday was very busy night and
would have liked for him to have
made it some other night. Sunday
morning q policeman was given in
struction to watch the house com
planned of. and as yet he has been
unable to discover any disorder or
bad behavior. There has not been
any act discovered by him showing
it to be house of prostitution
In tl,is connection it is not amiss
to recall the fact that the chief and
his force several times raided this
same woman's home. when she lived
on Jackson street, at the instance Of

officers able to make a case.

so much about the house as is claim

he has made such strong complaint.
he should feel himself fully prepar-I

Democratic designs are to preju-
dice the people against the new tax
laws before they get into full opera
ton. But, however much they may
create a prejudice now, they will
find that reduction of taxation

surrounding all the misrepresenta-
tons these critics can make, or have
ever made in this particular.
Money counts. Less taxation will
also count.

Several Democrats editors burst
out periodically against the new tax
laws. All they say is the laws are
bad. They do not attempt to show
wherein they are bad, but satisfy
themselves by the much-repeated
simple assertion that they are bad.
Would it not be we'll for them to
base the assertion on something that
they can present to the readers as
logic or argument of what they
claim? Tt is not enough to say they
are bad. They must show them to
be bad.

LAND PRICES WONT DROP.
Western Kansas Prices More Reason
able Than Those East OF Us

able Than Those East OF Us
Sometimes you hear the remark
made that the price Of land in west
ern Kansas is getting too high to be
safe. Such talk always comes from
the pessimist or from the man who
would ''bull-' the market to its lowest
point and then buy to his limit
The people who value Sherman
county land most are not those who
have put their money into it (and
thus shown faith); but are the people
who have put their life into ia
residence Of eighteen or twenty years.
They are the ones who place the pre-
MUM The fact Of the mater is, the
prices Of our land are yet too low.
On the other hand, a number Of our
best farmers might be named that
would not sell their places for less
than $40 or SIS per acre. Their
farms are improved OF course, and
have been intelligently and persistent
" titled, and therein is the secret:
that worked land is after all the
criterion OF its true value.
Up there near Beatrice. Neb., last
week, one OF the biggest land deals
made in Gage county recently, was
the sale Of an 160-acre farm Of Am
brOse Strawder, located north Of the
town Of Filley, to Fred Schuster, for
$1,000. The price paid was $65 per
acre. The Beatrice Daily Sun Of AU-
gust II, says that within the past
year or 50 land in Gage county has
repeatedly sold as high as $50 and
S63 per acre.
Land in this section Of the state"
says the article, els gradually increas-
ing in price, and in the opinion OF
some Of our real estate dealers It will
not be long before Gage county farms
will be selling as high as SIS and $50
per acre"
It can hardly be said that land in
Gage county is exactly what you
would call Gods country" In years
gone by it went through the thrOes
that western Kansas has just about
gone through Land there sells for
about eight or ten times more than
land here, and yet we dare say that
with even investments in Gage cOun-
ty, Nebraska, and in Sherman county,
Kansas, the latter would come out
with more gain and more victory
Why2 Because our land here is priced
and sold considerably lower than it is
actually worth and the rise in Sherman
county real estate is but natural and

Place Are Loaded.
In the short grass country one sur
prise follows another. All glorious
prOphesies turn out tobe but half
hearted optimism when compared
with the victories Of vegetation upon

and so bushels OF barley, to the acre,

but the heretofore unheard OF fact
OF young walnut trees being loaded
down with walnuts on the John VIII
son place, may stagger some.
John Wilson lives eleven miles
southeast Of GOOdland- I Fifteen years
ago he set out twenty-five black wal
nut sprigs- They have grown to quite
good size, and this year he says they
