in catching a prairie dog which
he has on exhibition at his store
and while in Ness City the boys
heard Governor Stubbs deliver
one of his famous political
speeches which so enthuSed Mr..
Keraus, so Mr. Bronson says,
that he wanted to deliver a
stump speech at every road
crossing on their way home.

Mensing stopped at Ransom and

Colorado and the balance of the
crowd returned to Wa-Keeney
safely with their captive prairie
dog which is the most popular
object now on display at the

THE BYERS CANDIDACY

If the newspapers Of this district hold
the mirror up to nature as is their prov
ince, it is apparent that the candidacy
of Hon. I'll. w. Byers of Harlan for
Congress is making progress. Our
Judgment is that he has the support OF
a majority of the papers in the district
and those who annouce preference for
Judge Smith speak in terms of praise
of Mr.. Byers. We could fill this paper
with good words for Mr.. Byers from
the press of the state, were it proper
for us to devote all our space to his
praise If himself and his friends shall
pursue the even tenor of their way and
bear down hard upon Mr.. Byers record
in public office, and urge his claims fol-
preferment largely upon the ground OF
of his devotion TO republicanism with
ont any qualifying adjectives to it, we
feel sure the end of the primary cam
paign will be unusually satisfactory to
Mr.. Byers and themselves. The Harlan
Republican.

Judge Wheeler In Hospital

The Red Oak Express says that ap
pendicitis is no great respector of per
sons, unless il is true that it seldom at
tacks one who is too poor to pay for an
operation. That paper futher says;
Judge o. ID, Wheeler of the District
Court is now convalescing in an Omaha
hospital after an operation performed
last week for the removal of his vermi
form appendix, and his many friends
will be glad To learn that he withstood
the ordeal very well and will soon be
able to resume his duties upon the bench
of this judicial district, unimpaired in
his capacity as u fair, answering and
judicious adiudicator of human conten-
tons and lawlessnesS, 1t was expected
that Judge Wheeler would be able to be
here by the first of next week, but il is
now rather uncertain whether court
will convene Tuesday or not until later
in the week, or possibly the week follow
ing.
Judge Green was here for u few hours
fast Tuesday, impaneling the grand jury
and disposing of considerable routine
and probate work, and the grand Jury
has been grinding on half dozen or
more cases.

THE COUNTRY EDITOR
HAS A BIG TIME
According To The Veteran Editor OF
The Abel News Who Has Had
Thirty Years Experience.

Most people have an idea that it is a
soft snap 10 edit newspaper, and how
they get the idea, it Is hard to tell In
the first place they think the editor
knows everything. II a fellow citizen
passes away, the editor is supposed to
know when aud where he was born,
when and where married, the number
OF children born to the family the ma
ture and duration of the last illness,
and in fact the entire history of the
party.
The editor sits down and writes up
half column obituary notice, a card of
thanks and donates more space for reso.
buttons of respect and coincidence, which
vary according TO the number of lodges
to which the deceased belongs. Every
little item heard here aud there must be
CHASED down" sometimes taking as
much rs Il half day 20 learn where, when
and why Mrs, b. went away or puZzling
your brain for an hour or two to
know just what 10 say about Mrs. AS
party SO rs not to offend Mrs G. who is
also having one across the street
Then in comes Mr. X. requesting you
not to say anything about so-and SO or
such and such.a,thing and after giving
him your promise, he tells You to stop
his paper rs he can't read all the papers
he now takes. Between waiting on Gus
toners, waltHing down To the depot and
back from to q times day, SO weeks
in the year; looking up advertisers and
getting their copy; keeping books, wash
ing rollers, feeding presses etc, he has
to go some" Then the person who
did something and no mention was made

ters kick and don't see what you run
a paper for if it is not to give the news.
Another raises u kick because he or she
was not mentioned or the item WIS in
correct because the event happened on
Monday and not on Tuesday rs stated.
Some one else who does not go out of
town once in six months and then drives
out in his own conveyance, don't sec
why Mr.. and Mrs somebody else are al
ways mentioned when they go anywhere
while the complainant name never
gets in the paper although he is a sub.
scriber, and he concludes that the editor
Is dreadfully lazy or has his special ia
vorites who are always noticed when
they do anything, little or big.
But after all the editor gets his com
pensations, One Of his delights is when
he goes to the bank and clips the inter
est coupons from his government bonds,
the profits from running paper ut one
dollar year ut present prices for meat
and eggs Another compensation is in
the enjoyment of clear conscience
An editor may make mistakes but he il
always truthful. Editors never lie. And
then he has the satisfaction of being
prepared for any fate. He has hopes of
n peaceful hereafter, but having always
associated with nh Office devil and hay
ing hot time here, the future holds no
lurking terrors for him. And then every
once in while he gets nice boquet
from IN appreciatiye reader or box
Of wedding cake and in the latter event
the whole office force gets happy while
| the cake lasts.

GET TOGETHER
SHOULD BE SLOGAN
While You Work Hard For Your Own
Candidate DO Not Speak Evil
Of The other Fellow

The primary campaign for nomination
is about to open up. Candidates for
Congress are in the field. Some men
seem to be getting warm under the col
lar and are anxious to have scrap with
something or somebody. They talk and
act as though nobody had right to run
for office unless he is one of their friends
or belongs to their faction. And some
of them go so far rs to say that if their
man is not nominated they viii not sup.
port the ticket Better cut out all such
statements and while you work as hard
as You please for your choice among the
candidates speak kindly of the other fel,
low for he may be nominated. We quote
an article from the Shenandoah Sentinel,
Post concerning congressional affairs IN
the eighth district that is just rs good
for the ninth. And if the republicans
of this district will enter upon the cam
paign with that spirit of get together
advoca ted the nominee will be elected
by large majority. Just read the ar
ticle substituting the name of Judge
Smith for Judge Towner and the name
of Mr.. Byers for Mr.. Darrah and see if
it doesn't fit the case about right. That
paper says:
The slogan of this paper in this cam
paign is Get Together. do not re-
call time when there has been greater
need for republicans to quit lighting
each other and get busy advocating the
principles of the party. What will we
gain by fighting each other over these
candidates, when it is morally certain
that such course will prevent either of
them going to congress? Here are two
splendid men, standing on the same plat
form, asking the nomination from the
republicans of this district, l am will
ing to accept either of them and make
him my standard bearer in the campaign
that will follow the primary election,
Are you, or you, or you willing to say
the same thing? There is no cloud on
the republicanism, the manhood or the
Ameri canism of either of the two men
Why should we fight one Of them and
make threats? Towner has won popu
larity by his service as Il judge for many
years and by his ability as thinker
and public speaker. He would be {
credit to Iowa anywhere. Mr.. Darrah
| likewise, has won splendid reputation
| as successful business man and hi
| legislature record is good. He has made
good where tiled He is standing, as il
Judge Towner, on his own individuality
and Us a republican, not the representa-
tive of any faction of the party. Then
by all that is best in the manhood of the
voters of the republican party in this
district, by all that is good in republi
canism let us maintain that harmony
and friendliness that alone can make
this district republican this year, expires
sing our personal choice ut the primary
but with the kindest of feeling for the
other fellow" and if he wins, immedi
ately extend congratulations and fall il
behind him and march to victory. 1t is
the only way to win this year, gentle
men. "

An Exodus For South Dakota

Every spring there is an exodus from
this county to other parts of the country,
We have spoken elsewhere of the Estes
families going to Montana. j. r. John
son and Simon Lowe of Ross go this
week to Washington Springs, South Da-
kota; Everett Bates, II. Il. Miller and
C. o. Bamsey to Howard South Dakota,
and Ray Olson to Villas in that state.
These young men are among the best in
the county and their industry and econ
my are shown by the fact that they
could go up there and buy farms at
prices ranging from $40 to SO an acre.
We commend them all to the people
among whom they settle as being worthy
of their confidence.

HOW WASHINGTON WAS ABUSED

Tuesday was the birthday anniversary
of George Washington, the great gener-
al president, and patriot of the Ameri,
can people. All classes, creeds and con
ditions of men throughout our land can
join in doing his memory great honor,
So it may seem strange that he was
greatly abused while engaged in doing
his great work on the field and in the
executive chair, In II letter to Governor
Morris while he was president he wrote
as follows; .....
My policy has been and will contin-
ne to be, while have the honor to re-
main i'm the administration, to maintain
friendly terms with, but he independent
of all the nations of the earth, to share
in the broils of none to fulfill our own
engagements, to supply the wants and
be the carriers for them ALL"
by firm adherence to these princi
pies, and to the neutral policy which
has been adopted have brought on
myself torrent of abuse in the factious
papers of this country, and from the
enmity of the disconnected of all dis
criptions. But having no sinister objects
in view, | shall not be diverted i'm my
course by these, nor any attempts which
are, or shall be, made to withdraw the
confidence of my constituents from me.
| have nothing to ask, and discharging
my duty, have nothing to fear from
invective. The acts of my administra-
ton will appear when am no more,
and the intelligent and candid part of
mankind will not condemn my conduct
without recurring to them"

March First Moving Time

March the first brings many changes
of residence in the country. Moving is
bad enough any time but this spring it
seems worse than ever because so much
corn is yet in the field. The farmer
who has to move ten or dozen miles
and then go back to husk his corn will
find it both annoying and expensive.
The season of 1909 was very unfavorable
The farming operations were behind two
weeks in the spring and they continued
so most of the summer. The corn was
late in maturing and when the husking
was just fairly begun the rains set in
and stopped the work and then the early
snowfall came and covered it up where
it remains to this day. Farmers will
sustain a loss of millions of dollars ON
their corn crop alone because of the bad
weather in the fall.

Harlan Man Burned to Death

Gasoline gets in its destructive work
much too often. Hardly'a week passes
that some one does not become its victim.
Over at Harlan Monday morning John
Radcliffe, aplumber by trade, was burn
ed to death while lighting the gasoline
stove. He allowed too much oil to flow
into the cups and in carrying the stove
from the room he struck the door which
caused an explosion. The result is that
he is dead, one of his six children badly
burned and good new house nearly
destroyed. Why isit that such q useful
element should be so destructive?

JUST ABOUT CORRECT

The Infamous treatment which the
Register and Leader accords the presi-
dent is disgrace to the republican press
and party of Iowa. Open abuse such as
is INDUCED in by the Odebolt Chronicle
is thousand times preferable and more
honorable than the snake in the grass
methods OF the Register and Leader.
The press dispatches are garbled, par
TALLY suppressed, distorted and misre-
presented, in order to belittle the Presi-
dent and place him in "A false and ridic-
ulous light before the people.
Insinuations based on conjecture and
John Snure fiction are made and repeat
ed without apology or retraction when
the event proves them to have been false.
Even the wife of the president is dragged
in to create prejudice against the Re
publican executive.
There is not one grain of honest man.
ly fairness in the attitude of the Regis
ter and Leader towards Mr.. Taft Some
day the republicans of Iowa will find ii
out. Some day they will be ashamed
that such a course was applauded by
some and not instantly condemned by
all. No democratic paper, no muck rake
magazine in all the land is so unfair,
so unjust, SO sneaking in its methods, so
brazen in its misrepresentation as that
newspaper which claims to be the leader
of republican thought in Iowa. -Denison
