Merely a suggestion: Spring
river is very low this winter, and
it seems to US it would be good
idea for the city dads to have q
lot of gravel hauled while it can
be gotten so easily. A low river
in the winter means a high river
in the spring, and the gravel
may be hard to get then. Be-
sides the hauling of gravel now
would give employment to 4 lot
of fellows who would appreciate
it. And there are plenty of
places the gravel iS needed,

Here's a bit of wisdom from
the Galena Times: THE over
supply of newspapers in any one
community will be a present evil,
so long as the cheap politicians
continue to control the public
with these public sentiment
shapers. Recently at Ottawa,
the Democratic and Republican
papers consolidated and with the
hearty endorsements of the mer-
chants of that city. But the
cheap politicians heard of the
movement at consolidation, and
raised a storm of protest. The
politicians even threatened to
start another paper. Two pa
pers, run by widely opposition
are a detriment and 4 burden to
a small town, and a continual
source of trouble, politically,
and the occasion for town rows.
Emroria, Coffeyville, Pittsburg,
Sedan, Chanute, Marion, lola,
and Galena have found this too
true in recent years. If Ottawa
stands pat she viii be dealing
the peanut politicians a solar
plexus blow and will be making
a good step in the right di.
rection."
