Division Petitions Denied

ers at their meeting last Saturday
denied the three petitions
presented by some twenty-five
hundred voters asking that the
county be divided. No partiality
was shown in the matter. The
Iowa, Sterling, and Jackson coun-
ty petitions all met the same fate,
all the proposals being denied a
vote as requested by the petitioners.
The reasons for rejecting the
petitions as given by the board
and their attorneys, JohnF. Hughes
and j. H. johnson, were ccrtainl y
most ingenious. 1t was conceded
at the outset as a working basis
that the petitions were in regular
form. More than that, the members
ofthe board expressed themselves as
satisfied with the genuineness OF
the signatures thereto attached.
There was some talk of names that
appeared on more than one petition
and suggestion that some of the
petitioners might reside in territory
not petitioned to be set off. Not
a single irregularity of this kind
was pointed out, however. A
count of the names and a compare
son with the records of the county
auditors Office showed that all the
petitions contained the required
number of names. In u word the
situation was expressed by one
member of the board that voted
against the petitions when he said
with frankness emphasized with q
fine discriminating profanity, "Oh.
hi, there's nothing the matter
with the petitions"
The real trouble as announced
by the board was the fact that the
three petitions conflicted with
reference to the territory they in
cluded. Think of that. Think Of
the legal and common sense saga
city of q proposition like that
The amusing thing about the stu
alton is that not q member of the
board nor one of the attorneys
advising board believes that The
alleged reason is any reason what
ever for the rejection of the peti
tions. More than that we do mo-
believe that q reasonably intelligent
man in Stanley county believes
this any reason for rejecting th'
petitions. Let your prejudices il
this county division matter be eve1
80 strong, you can't believe tha'
the mere fact that the proposed
counties overlapped was any valit
reason for turning the petition
down. Your brain is not so con
stituted that it will tolerate tina
fallacious reasoning any more thai
your arm will lift two Thousand

wheat and barley will all 60 into
the sheaf this week and much of
the spring wheat will be ready for
the sickle next week. Wheat is
much better than was. expected
two weeks ago. The cool weather
and numerous showers enabled the
wheat to mature in good shape and
