LAST week we called attention

LAST week we called attention
to the fact that Supt.
Kerr had selected Summit in
Roberts county as the place for
electing a member of the Grant
county board of education. The
county superintendent has shown
speculiar interest in the selec-
ton of this board and it is said
that there are others back of
him who are still more interest
Cd, among these being a would be
political boss and also q big book
publishing house. We suggest
that the taxpayers and friends
Of the county schools keep awake
fer q few weeks. II there isn't
IN attempt to make a change of
books that will be extremely pro-
ftable to one Of the book houses
and incidentally SO to one or two
Of our own citizens it will be be-
Gause the game was flushed a
little too soon. Just keep awake
: little while.

The Alban friends of Miss
Nellie Roberts gathered at the
home of E. l.. Farnum last Fri
day afternoon, and treated the
young lady to q parcel shower,
in view of her approaching nup.
tials. The affair was a very en-
joyable one, the participants all
living in the vicinity where Miss
Roberts had taught school, and
to whom she had endeared her
self by her many amiable quail
ties.

TIE Review in . recent ISIS

TIE Review in q recent issue
very severely criticised County
Judge Rix for refusing to allow
= probate notice to be- published
IN that paper. when the attorney
and others interested bad
specially requested that the pub.
hcation be made il the Review.
When it is remembered that
Judge Xix is q part owner in the
Grant County News. and that he
gets the financial benefit Of such
publication, the purpose Of send
ing all court publications to q
paper Of doubtful legality, which
has been denied admission as
second class matter by the post.
q department at Washington, is
made plain. To showstil further
the spirit of graft that is aboard
this catamaran craft Of county
attorney and county Judge, our
attention has been recently called
70 9 quite lengthy probate publ
cation in the News Of the past
few weeks. It is q publication
that does not necessarily have
TO be made in q newspaper,
and seldom is-the law providing
Tor posting notices. The posting
il much cheaper for the estate,
and that form of notice is gener.
ally adopted to save expense.
What makes the petty graft still
more glazing is that the estate is
the property of a family who
have had to be assisted by the
county on 9 number OF occasions
10 the past, the deceased having
died in the insane asylum. Thus
even the paupers are tapped to
contribute to the glory of Mr..
Bentley and his partner George,
and give sustenance to the
weekly autobiography of these
great men.

ced that according to the call the
time had now arrived for the
nomination and election Of a
member Of the county board of
education for the third district
Of Grant county and asked for
nominations. Adna Woolsey

when there followed q painful
pause and Adna again got upon
his feet ana eu!ogized Scott Tor
his prominence In school matters
and his fitness for the place, and
when he was again seated, Kerrput
the motion without waiting for
any one to second it, and in the
vote that followed Woolsey's
AYE was the only solitary one
that was given in support Of his
