An Efficient County Attorney.

When Mr.. E. L. Mcmillan was
elected county attorney of Mile
Laos county the Union confidently
predicted that, as far as he was con-
cerned, the interests of the county
would be carefully guarded and
every duty imposed upon him would
be ably, honestly and fearlessly dis
charged: The prediction of the
Union has been more than verified.
At the. present term of the district,
court Mr.. Mcmillan has covered him
self with glory, saved the county
hundreds of dollars and placed two
offenders against law and common
decency where they properly belong.
Never before in this or any other
county that we know Of was such
record made with a grand jury in so
brief a space of time. The grand
jury was in session six hours, includ-
ing the noon hour, returned three
indictments. finished its business
and adjourned sine die. Each of the
accused plead guilty,-one of them
was guilty of particularly heinous
offense., Mr.. Mcmillan had. his evil
dence we'll in hand, presented it to-
the grand jury, made no false moves
and wasted not a minute of time.
It is not only at this term of court
but all the time. Mr.. Mcmillan is on
the job. He is ever ready to advise
the county commissioners, and his
advice is always sound; no member
of the board ever for. a moment
questions his Interpretations of the
law. He will not countenance the
prosecution Of frivolous causes Of
action either in: the Justices or
district court, but he. acts promptly
when there is willful violation of
the law.
The services of such an efficient
and conscientious county attorney
as Mr.. Mcmillan can hardly be
measured in dollars and cents.

ARMORY DEDICATED.
Continued from page /,

from our military needs, and we
have habitually failed to make
timely preparation for war. Already
we have paid dearly for this neglect.
SorroWing mothers, sisters and
sweethearts too, the truest heroes
war produces, have mourned for men
unnecessarily sacrificed on battle
fields or died in hospitals, due to
want OF foresight of our statesmen.
Popular prejudice against large
permanent army, even if it could
supply our necessities, results in
placing the task of defending our
homes and national integrity upon
the individual citizen, able to bear
arms. Our main dependence must,
and should ever be our militia, not
as the term is popularity defined an
unframed military mob, but a
body of patriotic citizens, prepared
by careful training in time of peace,
to bring the grandest sacrifice on the
altar OF their country; giving life
itself in Its defense, TO furnish
such body-a national army, a
guard of the nation-is the true
mission of our National Guard. Is
1T too much to ask our people to pro-
mote this grand patriotic OBJ
ject? -.

A Disgrace to Both Towns.

A Glendorado subscriber COM
plains about the condition of the
road leading west from Princeton
and Greenbush to Glendorado. He
writes: II shall not try to explain
how bad. the road is, but wish you
could drive out as far as the Green
bush town hall and see for yourself. !,
We have been over that piece Of
road and it is simply damnable. 1t
is a burning disgrace to the towns
of Princeton and Greenbush and the
county of Mile Laos. IS
Then to think that that road was
in such excellent condition few
years ago after it had been clayed
and graveled- and owing to criminal
negligence on the part of the author
tiles Of both towns is now thing Of
ruts and holes. That road could
have been properly maintained at an
expense of less than 500 per year to

Late as it is something should be
done to improve that road in both
towns right away. Otherwise next
spring it will be simply impossible
it is almost in that condition now.

warehouses. Prices have ranged

being largely of the box variety, it
was not safe to ship potatoes to dis
tant points in them because of the
low temperature which prevailed.

country districts that large quanti-
ties of potatoes have been frozen in

HE Is MAKING GOOD.

The Democrat man this week re-
ceived letter from R. NJ. Wander
work, for several years a resident of
Eninwood, and for the last eighteen
months of the writer's stay in that
good old town, an employee of the
Leader office. But Roy was one Of
the many printers who have felt the
back to the soil' call and was AN
exception in that he summoned the
courage to lay down the job stick
and the ink paddle and obey the i'm
pulse. About the first Of July he re-
signed his sit in the print shop
and moved onto a farm near Belle
Plain, south of Wichita, and he says
he is already full fledged tiller Of
the soil and thinks that he has dis
covered the kind of work that is ex-
actly to his liking. He has out IS
acres of wheat that is as fine as
could be found anywhere, and is al
ready beginning to pillow 115 acres,
that he has left for corn and other
spring crops. He has an abundance
of feed, and in order TO get rid of
the surplus to the best advantage
and at the same time have a little
more work to keep him out Of mis-
chief, went to the markets a short
time ago and purchased car load
of cattle which he viii feed this WIN
ter. He also mentioned having three
fine fat hogs, which mention we have
taken as an invitation TO come down
and help him eat real sausage and
spare ribs some time this fall, and
as we have a heap Of liking for such
dainties We are going to try and
accept. Roy says the only bad luck
he has had so far was when some
joy riders ran over and killed their
pet dog last Sunday, and We opine
from the tone Of the letter he is
figuring ON evening up on that. Roy
was one printer who won a home
with the Democrat man from the
fact that he lived strictly up to the
latter part Of his name, and 1t neV-
er made amy difference whether the
boss was ON duty or not the work
went ON just the same, and we are
mighty glad to learn that he is
contented and prospering in his new
location and work.

YES TAYLOR MAKES farm LOANS
COMMENT BY GOLFERS.

The signing Of the recent tariff b.E
ought not to pass completely into his
tory without a realization Of how i'm
pGtant an event it was. The public
generally does not understand what
a difficult piece Of work has been
performed by President Wilson and
the Democratic party. And 1t Is no
secret to those who have watched
closely that the Democratic party
would never have performed it but
for President Wilson. Passing a tar
IN Is a difficult business at best. II
means taking away an ancient graft.
Every business man knows how easy
it Is to raise wages, but how enor-
mously difficult it is to reduce them.
Reducing a tariff is even none diff.
cult. It is taking away from greedy
men and from whole COMMUNITIES a
graft, a largess, bonus. subsidy
to which they have become accustom-
ed. It would almost be Historically
true to say that the thing has never
before been done successfully. Most
persons are familiar with the way II
was prevented when the Democrats
attempted it i'm 1894. The New York
World has dug up a bit of history
which proves how narrowly it was &C.
complished in 1876:
When the Walker Tariff Act reach
ed the Senate in 1916 the Democrats
had an expectation Of a majority OF
one for it in that chamber. Three
days before the vote was to be TAX
en-, VIM. H. Haywood, Democrat from
North Carolina, resigned without stat.
ing his reasons. This left the SEN
ate tie on the question, but Sena-
tor Jarnigan, a Wing, had been IN
structed by the Legislature of that
state, as was then customary, to vote
or the bill. Although he had pub
icly said that he would obey, he was
lot present when the final division
ook place, and so. as the dreaded tie
appeared, Vice President George MI
Dallas voted aye and the bill became
! law.
