Should Receive Proper Recognition
Two old soldiers are after nomina--
tions for Office in this county. Every
man should take off his hat to a
veteran of the civil war, and more
than that, give him an Office if he
wants it. The time is not long that
we will have the old vets with us.
Whoop it up for the boys who once
wore the blue in our country's defense.

They Cannot Specify an Instance.
Just now it is very popular to jump
on Railroad Commissioner Mills, vet
no one has advanced a valid, SUBJ
stantial argument why republicans
should be asked to bolt his nomina-
ton. Perhaps he is not corporation
hater, neither have his enemies
pointed out single specific instance
where he has shown the "interests''
any undue favors. Mills was not our
personal choice, but his enemies will
have to produce better arguments than
they have so far done before the
Times joins in the cry for his defeat.
Then he is only one of three and to
throw all the blame on him is to give
him credit for being the entire board.

Absolutely Fair, just and Upright
Some of the republican newspape
are dinging about Judge Mills, and
repeating aspersions on his integrity
as a public official. The Judge has
given honest service to the people
otherwise he would not be a poor man
as he is today. A railroad commits
sioner if false to his trust, need not
be poor. Judge Mills has endeavored
in the discharge of his official duties,
to be absolutely fair, just and upright.
He has never catered to Lotus and
Manahan, nor to the opposite, but
has given his best service to the COM
mission in fair impartial manner.
There is no reason why he should not
receive the united support of his
party Rush City Post.

BrainY Judge Mills. .-
We imagine that the senior member
OF the board of railroad and ware
house commissioners, ira B. Mills, is
more misunderstood than entitled to
the roasts that are heaped upon him
by the press all because he has been
on the board so long and is charged
with being the tool of the railroads,
and some of the republican papers go
so far as to suggest that he will be
defeated if the democrats bring out a
man that is available. Now we do
not believe such is the case for he has
not showed any signs of catering to
the corporations, but on the other
hand is said to be man who will
furnish much of the brains that will
be most necessary to the public good
on the organization of the new board.

Governor John q Mere Ornament
In recent interview Governor
johnson is reported as saying that
the pressure upon him may be so
great that he may be obliged to accept
another denomination for governor
on the democratic ticket. Aside from
among the democratic officeholders
who have been holding lucrative posi-
lions at the public crib for nearly
four years there is no great demand
for the governor to accept a reaomina-
ton and if he accepts such -renomina-
ton he will probably find chat he is
not wanted at all. Aside from max
ing speeches on public occasions and
attending banquets in swell and aris-
