We leave the reader decide how much of the fore
going expense bill for the benefit of the children msu
when schools Our friend Mr. Dooey says
have been attacking trusted officials and leave the
reader whether they ought to be attacked by showing up their
official exactly the record indicates made by themselves
Come II gain Mr.. Dooey
If MIR. Dooley has anything his mind which he
relate dscedt thsan rego and brace the
of the county superintendent suggest that he and
may be reminded of something else that needs looking up
the records.
Attacks Sincerity
Mr. Dooey his article also attacks the sincerity and truth
fulnes of the Republican writer the articles, and says
object fair prices for printing except when we are getting the
work. and that prompted by mercenary motives and po
cal intrigues and that his bills all reasonable We think
Mr. Dooley sincere saying his bills reasonable but the
evidence shows they entirely above what the county has paid
past years. If he had abused perssten should
not have taken the trouble to look them up
Win "Thei Paper" Explaiu2
The Evening Courier took occasion pass upon what it
calls interference by rego and he acting the OF the
dog the manger As to why they did not file their bill mot
later than Saturday preceding the meeting required by law
and CUSTOM and why they held back until after the first three
days of the meeting during which supposed that all bills
had been acted upon, leave the public to Judge.

item that read Expenses of special deputy $Io and that he

E. Good authorizing the payment to Schultz of $3.50 for

special deputy per receipts attached Then made to
read that due to Sheriff Jones for criminal Investigations
per receipts attached signed by Parry Then the
money due E. Schultz for money advanced by Schultz
per receipts attached in the of Parry The reason
assigned for paying Schultz only $725o that there only
left the fund they proposed to pay out Of that fund
being appropriation of $1,000 made at the April meeting to
expenses of running down booeggers last They got
the booeggers all right and fines collected greatly excess

Jones could swear that hundred dollars 1--WE think the correct
figures were $1os) was due him for deputy then due
him for something else and then was due some other man and
