SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

Mayor Smith is a deyetee of the
pipe, and it Is only occasionally that
one sees His Honor putting a cigar.
Not only is the pipe the fayorite
|smoke of the mayor, but he has quite
a collection. and Il Is not often he is
seen smoking the same pipe. II is
true that the mayor does not carry a
pipe around with him. for he has an
even dozen pipes. so that when he is
worried he may take few whiffs OF
smoke from a favorite pipe. The
pipes have been secured in many
ways. Some have been the gifts of
friends, while others have been pur-
chased by the mayor because he liked
their shapes. At his ONCE at the city
hail, Mayor Smith has four pipes that
he puffs on. while at his privte Office
ne has four more, and at home he has
-four more.
The favorite pipe Of the mayor is
kept at home and before breakfast
every morning the mayor enjoys his
smoke of the weed. The pipe has a
long stem and such a favorite Is the
pipe that Mayor Smith frequently
crawls into the bathtub without the
|formality OF extinguishing the to-
bacco.

STILL THEY COME

The Paducah Sun Is another re
cruit in the ranks Of those who sup
port men stronger than they supper
measures. The Sun says:
"A contemporary boasts Its
dignity always combining its dis
cussions Of things political to
measures and leaving the perso.i-
alities involved in the contest,
alone. We take exactly the OPP
posing view. The longer we live
and observe, the more we are
convinced that there is a large
percentage OF buncombe in polit-
zeal principles CD, and jobbery
In measures, while the character
OF men selected to administer the
government Is the prime essen
tlal to good government. Give
us good men and they will give
us good laws and enforce them"
AS the Inquirer has said hundreds
OF times. it is the man after all. For
what does a platform stand II cor
rupt man is elected TO execute its
promises?
Give us a good man or a bad plat
form every time in preference to a
bad man on a good platform. The
good man will ignore bad platform
because the good man does right and
will not do wrong merely because his
party Is pledged to wrong. The bad
man will do his own way, regardless
OF the good pledges OF his party's
platform and as the man In each in
stance ignores the platform and acts
independent OF L, we viii take the
good man on the bad platform every
time.
The good man looks 10 the welfare
OF his people; the bad man looks ar

What a review was that the snow-covered
South Dakota plains that January morning 10
years ago. Gen. Miles on his great black horse
watched the 5000 soldiers pass, soldiers that had
stood the burden of battle and the hardships OF a
winters campaign and had checked one OF the
greatest Indian uprisings of history.

The column filed past, broke into regiments,

who went out with following of braves on the
warpath the month previous. Two Strike wore
no ghost shirt He above such superstition,
even though he took no pains to urge his com.
rades to follow his shirtess example.
Two Strike was glad of the craze that had
brought war. for he hated the whites harder than
he hated anything on earth except the Pawnees,

Our Sister Towns.

In almost every town Of any size in
the>State there are active Boards Of
Trade'which are proving Of great bene-
fii to the progressiveness Of the Tespec
tive communities. Once such a move
ment was started in Milford. and q
glance over the "BanqHeting Board, 4"
when it was first effected, naturally
gave assurance Of its being one OF the
foremost efforts in the commercial life
of Milford for among that number
were many of the most representative
business men OF this place, and yet as
strange as it may seem, such a worthy
effort conceived bylthe best minds OF
the community, died almost as soon as
it were born. II Milford is TO keep
space with her sister towns some such
is absolutely imperative,
Or the business interests OF this town
and community can not hope to reach
any high estate Of developemeLC and
achievement.
