The notices for a school bond
election have been duly posted
according to law in FIVE public
places in this district. Present
conditions necessitate some ac-
ton on the part OF the district.
Our high school enrolment
during the past year was 90 with
an average attendance of o..
The room was over crowded
with twelve inch spaces between
seats and nineteen inch aisles.
Five or six pupils were forced
to sit almost against the radi-
ators. Our enrollment more
than doubled last year and every
thing points to a proportionate
increase this year in spite of the
dry weather. More students
will come from our grammar
room here in Meade than the
loses by graduation and
withdrawal. Because of the
four thousand dollars that we
receive from the State and the
County toward our running ex-
penses, it is especially urgent
that we furnish ample room and
necessary equipment for the

TOO LITTLE
FOR HIS JOB
The Awful Plight OF Our
Congressman

Neeley, Congressman from the
Seventh district, has no doubt
already been noted. An expla-
nation is therefore in order.
The Meade County News is a
Democratic paper. 1t was es-
tablished as such, and so con-
dncted by John D. Wehrle for
nine years, when it was sold to
stock company, and for three
years was conducted as an Inde-
pendent paper. In July 1912 a
meeting of the stockholders was
held, the corporation dissolved,
and the plant was then purchas-
ed by the present owner.
In the first editorial which ap-
peared after the transfer, it was
stated that The News would
again be Democratic paper.
1t will be seen that the Werhles
haYe always conducted The
News as Democratic paper and
so long as it remains the proper
ty of the present editor, the
same political faith will be de
Tended. Political renegades and
those giving aid and comfort to
such need look for no shelter in
this paper.
During the 1912 campaign the
entire Democratic ticket was
}pported from the President
Swn.
George A. Neeley along with
the other candidates received
his share of free advertising.
From the time his name was
first mentioned as a candidate
until the issue of July 10 he re-
celved from half to a column of
free notoriety each week.
This paper will no longer sup
port Neeley. We thought him
a man of his word; a man
worthy of the confidence of the
people; man over whom a po-
litical boss could WELD no in
tiuence; man big enough for
his job, but the contrary has
been too clearly proven. We
have been greatly deceived in
him.
This paper is not exposing
Neeley because the editor didn't |
get the postoffice. The race was
made, not on poverty plea, not
on the plea that the other candi-
dates had better way of maxi
ing living than /, and not by
attacking the religious affiliations
of any of the other candidates,
but upon MERITS, and every
ore who knows anything of the
affair knows that Mr.. Neeley's
original decision was fairly and
honorably obtained, and neither
he nor anyone else can say
,aught to the contrary and speak
the truth.
Had Neeley been fair in the
matter, had he given a satisfac-
tory explanation, and had he
been as good as his word, The
News would have continued to
give him political support, re-
gardless of the outcome of the
post Office controversy. The af-
fair was not mentioned in this
paper as long as there was
shadow of doubt that Neeley
wanted to be fair in the matter.
He has seen fit to break every
promise he made in the matter,
ne considered the wishes of
political boss more to to be re-
,spected than his own word of .
honor, therefore he must abide
by what his own letters have
stamped hIm-an echo of a POI
litical bess and too little for his
job.
