In accepting the invitation to
participate in the convention, Mr..
George writes: II take pleasure in
accepting the kind invitation ten
oered to address your convention
on the subject of good roads. This
in my opinion is one of the most
important problems with which

Out of respect for the newspa-
per profession in general, we re-
frain from indulging in further
personalities. AS for the Republi-
can, we feel that it is a case of pity
rather than censure. 1t is a case
of acute biliousness, and we have
no apprehension but that the vot-
ers of Meagher county will admin
lister an antidote on May oath that
will relieve Brother and sister Nc
Kay OF their all too common NAL
ady. In the meanoime our advice
would be: be calm, keep the feet
warm and the head cool; drink
plenty of White Sulphur Springs
water and do not work yourself in
to frency again, for the News
will have several things to say to
the taxpayers of Meagher county
between now and May oath. We
may say some things that will not
be particularly palatable to the
aesthetic taste of the Republican,
or in strict harmony with the
craftsmanship" of the county
commissioners. But what we dc

for the county's use when Meagher
county was more than three times
its present size, and the letter
states that there is lack of room
in the treasurer's office and IN the
assessors Office, and that the coun-
ty attorney and county surveyor
have Offices up town. The treas
urer is perhaps entitled to a little
more space, but the contentious as
to the assessors Office are not well
taken for the reason that the facts
are not correctly stated. 1t is not
probable that the county attorney
or the county surveyor desire Of
fees in the court house for the
reason that their business is large
ly outside of their respective Of
fees and Offices in the court house
would not be wanted. The expense
of renting these offices is compare.
lively nothing.
The question is not, Does
Meagher county need a new court
house, but is, Does Meagher
county need a 100000 court
house?" Tc the first question an
affirmatiqe answer may be given,
with the proviso that the building
he within reasonable cost limits.
Many voters take this position.
Others take the position that the
present court house be remodeled
and enlarged to meet the needs, if
there are any pressing needs. This
latter view seems to be the best
position, as it is not only economi-
cal, but if carried out would meet
all the objections to the present
accommodations, and in view of
the fact that the county in all
probability will in the near future
be divided, it would be adequate
for all future purposes. The ans
wer to the second question should
be NO! with the emphasis of a
thunder clap. If we need more
space for our records, let more
vaults be built. 1t would never
be policy for the people of Meagher
county to spend 100000 for new
court house because the present
vault room is insufficient, and
there is not sufficient room for the
county attorney, county surveyor
and public administrator.

nancial statements mis-state-
