1t stopped Horse Stealing.

w. N. Letfert who used to live In
Jackson county, Iowa years ago, in
| formed the LEADER last Saturday
how they took care of horse thieves
in that county, and the plan will work
to perfection anywhere. Horsesteal-
ing in Jackson County aroused the
citizens of the entire county, and
finally led to the appointment of a
vigilance committee backed by the
County. The County Commissioners
levied small tax to pay the expense
of the committee in running down a
horse thief, and when a horse thief
was caught with the goods they always
hung him and did away with trials by
court. If Lincoln County had horse
thief fund and committee the men
who stole the Millage horses would
now be either in Jail or safe some
where else where horses are not need
ed. 1t is generally the lack of funds
that permits horse thieves to get
away. A farmer hates to spend more
than his horses are worth hunting a
thief and he is generally handicapped
in other ways. A county fund could
be raised on levy so small that
none would object and with such
financial backing and proper men Sc
lected for the work, a horse thief
would not risk his neck in stealing a
horse from this county. and If he did
his capture would follow. The Jack
son county committee never let a
'horsethief get away. They followed

about 200 miles which was covered in

Nome has a population of 5000 and

The town has electric lights and a
telephone system, and coal is worth
$50 a ton, and plenty of good coal for
the digging near the city, but men
with the gold fever have no time to

Rev. Dunlap complained Of our hot
weather, yet he actually caught a
cold in Chicago. He speaks highly
of the Alaska climate and Of the
enormous undeveloped wealth of that

Without a Peer in the State.
Hudson Hudson.


Bro. Arthur Linn of the Canton
LEADER presents to the people of the
state the name of Hon. G. G. Lawrence
Of Canton, County Superintendent of
Lincoln county, as candidate to sue.
ceed Hon. Hans Ustrud as State Sup
erintendent OF Public Instruction
and If the gallant Colonel should sit
up nights for month he could not
think Of or select man better fitted
for the job. Mr.. Lawrence is the best
county superintendent this county
ever had. He has original ideas,
which carried out under his instruc.
tions have been the best things edu.
cationally which have ever been pro.
mulgated in the county. He is the
hardest working superintendent we
ever saw and the pride he takes in
his work. and in seeing that the work
is kept up in every school in the
county, city, town, or rural, is what
has brought our schools to the high
standard they have attained under
his SUPPLEMENTARY. We have long
ago recognized Mr.. Lawrence'S ability
and during the last eight years he
has not had better friend in the
county than the Hudsonite, and we
are glad today to second Col. Linn's
suggestion. Prof. Lawrence Is pro-
gressive in every meaning of the
word. AS an educator he stands
without peer in the state. His abil-
ity is recognized throughout the
state, and he will get hearty endorse
ment from every where, some of our
best known educators being his firm
est friends and staunchest supporters.
1t is bit early to spring his candi-
dacy, but a man better fitted than he
to assume the state superintendent's
place upon Mr.. Ustrud's retirement
cannot be found, and his candidacy
will be received with quiet satisfac-
tion everywhere in the state, where
his progressive ideas have long ago
been recognized at their true worth.
AS state superintendent he could do
for every county in the state what he
has done for Lincoln county, for he
would look after the needs of the
state along educational lines as dill
gently and as strenuously as he has
looked after the needs Of the grand
county of Lincoln. This county some
years ago gave the state one of its
best superintendents in the person Of
Hon. George w. Nash, president Of
the Northern Normal school, and
Prof Lawrence is just such another
splendid educator. The public schools
of the state are the foundation of
character and citizenship and we
cannot be too careful whom we trust
with the power of their superintend
ence, and to our notion Mr.. Lawrence
is just the man to be entrusted with
this power, for he is good, clean
man, a splendid instructor, and a
man who takes the greatest pride
and interest in his work, for it is a
work he likes and no task has ever
been too strenuous for him If it was
in the interest of higher education.
and newer and better methods Of in
for the scholars under his
charge. Let's make it State Superin-
tendent Lawrence of Lincoln county
for we all know that a
more competent man for the office
does not exist.
