No town the size of Baxter Springs
in the state has as few sidewalks
Why in the world don't the council
wake up and order some walks
built? There should be sidewalk
out Sheridan street east; out Sher'
man street eaet; out on South Mill.
tary street; on Sheridan street west;
one reaching out into Griswold &
Hawks addition; one along the
south side of the Hotel Baxter. and
in several other places. All the
council needs is little nerve. The
statutes of the state give the city
council all the power it needs in
the premises. This power can be
found on page - of the ordinance
book of the city. Baxter Springs
people should be ashamed of the
scarcity of sidewalks in the town.

The Republicans of Baxter
Syringe lack lot of nerve. If they
possessed the necessary nerve they
would demand place on the coun'
ty ticket. Baxter Syringe rolls up
a big Republican majority, yet the
politicians of the party always
manage to wipe their feet on the
Republicans here. If they had the
right sort of spirit in them they
would rise up and demand, by the
great horn spoon, place or two on
the county ticket. And if they did
not get it, they could very easily
teach the politicians a lesson that
would be remembered. But will
they ever do that?

haven't nerve enough to order them
torn down they can at prevent re-

We notice that there are two as
pirants to the Office of probate
Judge in this county-one, Demo.
crat, H. c. Dale of Galena, and the
other a Republican, James Ellis OF
Empire City. Neither of these gen.
tlemen are lawyers, and we want to
say right here that it lie almost an
absolute necessity that the probate
Judge be a lawyer. Both OF the
gentlemen mentioned are good
men. We have nothing to say
against either of them. but when
we take into consideration that at
least one.half of the legal business
of the county is conducted through
the probate judges Office, and when
we consider that major portion OF
the property of the county changes
hands about every ten years by be-
ing compelled to go through the
court, we think it, is essential that
the probate judge be lawyer, and
good one. The county officers,
when the county attorney 10 absent,
aud that is a large part of the time
have the probate judge to call upon
when they want to know something
in legal way, and he lie mainstay
of the commissioners. Many cases
are tried befose the probate court,
and now that we have what ia
known as the Juvenile court, and
this 10 the probate court, where all
incorrigible youths are tried, 1t lie
absolutely necessary that the office
be filled by an attorney. 1t would
be the rankest piece of folly to elect
any man to that Office not q lawyer
Geo. II. Wilson, the present pro-
bate Judge, has saved the county
thousands of dollars by reason OF
his legal ability, and at the same
he has demonstrated the fact be-
yond question that the Office is one
which should be filled by q man
who knows Law. Why, 60 into the
probate courts Office, ifyou please,
and look over the records of some
of the probate judges this county
has been afflicted with, and you
will wonder that estates are not in
very tangled condition. end a
great many of them are. Cherokee
county has had more incompetent
men in the probate jude's office
than Ia any other, and II 10 to the
shame of the county that this is
true. II would be q whole lot bet
ter Judgment on the part of the
voters of Cherokee county to
keep Geo. Wilson In Office than 10
elect q man TO that responsible
position who knows nothing about
Law whatever. We trust such an
error will not be make, and Il IL
with that hope that We mention
things as We do. There are lots Of
men who would like to have the Of.
Gee, good men, too, In Q way, but
they do not possess the qualifica.
