litigation and they proposed from
now on ito be shown" before thew
took any chances.
The commissioners have gone af-
ter another matter: They want to
know why the commissioners pro-
ceedings cannot be published in a
le2ible manner and it now looks as
if that other avenue of petty re-
venge has been given the bounce.
In all likelihood. the next batch of
commissioners proceedings will be
legible, ineligible and direct from
the shoulder.
We believe the stand taken by the
majority of our county board is such
that the people of the county will
stand back of them in their effort 20
conduct the business of the county
in straightforward and business
like way. True enough. the states
attorney is the advisor of the board
but he was never intended to DOM
mate the board entirely. They are
paid for their work and their per-
sonal Judgment must be the final
deciding factor. AT least, they
propose to play safe from now on.
And the county's affairs will be in
a better condition as result Of
their determination.

The European war continues to
be an endurance test. The German
submarines are sinking some British
merchant vessels and week ago a
small German fleet ran into Brit
ish squadron in the Nol tn Sea while
another attempt on the British shore

one ship and there is still dispute as
to the damage sustained by the Brit
ish.
With the passing of the second
week of newspaper competition in
Linton the Record seems to he more
than holding its own. The only ad-
vertlsing patron to cancel is The
FIRST National Bank. the advertise
ment for which was ordered out by
Mr.. + j PietZ since the last issue.
However, upon hearing of the
above action the American
Bank decided to increase their
space as a result of their having the
local field to themselves. Hence,
financially the Record still pursues
its unrutiled way 1t is pretty hard
for the tail to wag the dog and it is
equally impossible for sume one pa
iron of newspaper to put it out of
business by refusing it his patron
age.
