NEW YEARS GREETING.

In beginning the active work of the
new year, THE INDEPENDENT extends its
sincere thanks to it's patrons for the
generous support given it last year
While its proprietor did not become u
millionaire Oh u frenzied financicr, he did
dodge the sheriff and for this he is duly
thankful. Even il he had done no better
than that, he has cause for great con.
graduation considering the vast amount
Of business others engaged in the same
line did during the past year..
Notwithstanding the great prosperity
Of its contemporaries, THE INDEPENDENT
managed to pull through with n hand.
some balance on the right side OF the
ledger. 1t does moi expect to do all the
business OF the county during tho com.
ing year, but it will be found at the old
stand ready Tor anything and everything
that comes its way.
During the year to come, it will be
found rs in the past guarding the
peoples interests and always happy aud
contented with the patronage they
bestow.
In ehort, THE INDEPENDENT docs not
want the world. All it asks is contin.
uance OF the generous support given it
in the pnst. IL it gets this it's proprietor
will be happy, but, il the fates are cruel
and our rivals do all the business, he
will still be happy.

Tho following New York dispatch,
published November 231 in the Kansas
City journal. Il republican paper, claims
to give the true inwariuess of the bit
ter fight now being waGed between
President Roosevelt and Ex-Governor
Odell for the control OF New York's
republican machine. II is interesting:
Insurance scandals are cropping out
in the political fight between Chairman
Odell, Of the state republican committee,
and Senator Plat. The easy boss is
being backed by President Roosevelt,
who has taken n hand under the direc.
ton OF Thomas Il. Ryan, the insurance
boss.
@The insurance end of the financial
aud political trust is angry at Oiell
because Of bis Legislative committee
exposing financial and political deprav.
ity in the community OF interests
headed by tho insurance trust. Thoy
blame this committee and Attorney
Hughes for their exposure, hence OIcll
must be dethroned. The state machin-
cry; with the legislature, the city alder.
mon, must DO controlled by tho commu
nifty OF interest trust. Platt is heading
tho nov for the combine.
Governor Higgins, n millionaire with
social ambitions, has been called to
Washington, had a four hours' dinner
with the president and Postmaster
General Cortolyou, who is chairman OF
the republican national committee.
higgins has always been an 0iell man
and has aided in exposing insurance
~depravity. His price to quit all this
and shield tho gang is a matter OF
inquiry and speculation. Ec 10 charged

thing ut the hands Of the president IN
the price for stopping the insurance
investigation. Possibly consul general

most anything lao will take al the end
OF his term as governor. But he must re.
main in the job as governor and close out
tho insurance investigation and cover up
the organized game Of political aud com
mercial c~rookeduess before he get his
price from the federal pot.
"The whole affair grows ont u a de,
