see an itemiZed statement prepared
by the city clerk. The publishers OF
the Journal have never been eXCell-
ed in the history of Webster CITY
journalism in getting on the inside
in matters of this kind. Only re-
Gently the proficiency Of Mr.. Tuck
er in that line was exhibited and
his present ally of the Herald "hol-
lered' so loudly because he got his
| feathers singed that lie could be
heard all over Second street. and
that is how the Frecman-Tribune
happened to find it out. The print
ing committee of the commercial
league went to the various offices TO
get bids on printing the Booster
News Well, when the bids were
returned it was found that the Her
aid was the lowest bidder. Did the
Herald get the job? Well, hardly.
Why didn't the Herald get the Job?
Because Mr.. Tucker is member of
'hS oo1i u VI ulIettOIS OF tne CON-
mercial league and he saw to it that
the Journal got it. And according
to Mr.. Chases version of the affair.
SO the Freeman-Tribune is informed.
1t cost the league around $40 more
than the Herald offered to do it for.
Then Tuck gets out his big boost
er horn and proclaims to the public
that if they want to see the genu-
inc booster of the city cast their OPP
tics in the direction of the Journal
sanctum where the editor is engaged
in Herculean efforts to keep the
Hunters from robbing the people.
Who wouldn't be a booster for $40
a boost?
The taxpayers now would be pay
ing FULL LEGAL RATES FOR ALI.
THE PRINTING had not the Free
man-Tribune submitted, unsolicited
and unexpected, a bid to do it for
one-third and the taxpayers would
now be getting these publications at
One-half the price they are paying
had the council done as it agreed
and awarded the contract to only
one paper. What saving has been
made is due the Frecman-Tribune
and the fact that twice as much was
not saved is due the council.

Before the Mayor.

Two boys who annoyed the Gus
todians of Nokomis park on the day
of the ball game between the Elks
and the Bloomer girls, by climbing
upon the fence and closets of the
park, were this morning fined in
mayors court and given sound bit
of advice, although the mayor sus-
pended the fine upon the good be-
haviGr of the boys. The rules of
park are well known regarding this
and it was announced that the park
commissioners would make an ex-
ample Of the offenders.

The Journal Butts In.

an order that there may be no
Misunderstanding the Freeman
Tribune the other day Informed H.
B. Hummel that it is willing to pub
lish the city legal printing at one
half the price the city is now paying
which is just the price The Journ-
al is receiving.
There has never been any misun-
|derstanding in this connection. At
the time the Hunters locked horns
with the council, w. F. Hunter
wrote the council a formal letter
notifying them that thereafter when
they used the Freeman-Tribune for
the publication of city legal notices
they would have to pay the FULL
LEGAL RATES-just three times
what The Journal receives.-The
Journal.
The journal evidently thinks that
the Herald and Mr.. Hummel have
bitten off more than they can read
lily assim5late in undertaking TO ex-
Iplain the city printing puzzle, hence
decides to come to the relief of its
i,demoralize6 allies.
! Is there anything wrong in view
lof the fact that the Freeman-Trib-
une had no understanding or agree
ment with the council in relation to
publications in the daily that when
the daily was used il would be ex-
pected that compensation would be
according TO the provisions Of the
statute?
Isn't it a fact that the council
planned to GIVE THE JOURNAL
FULL LBGAL RATES AND THE
HERALD FULL LEGAL RATES
when those papers were used and it
was planned to use one of them all
the time? If that was not the
scheme what did the Journal mean
when it said following the meeting
when the publishers were called be-
fore the council, in its issue Of Nov
100, 1918:
THEREAFTER CITY LEGAL NO
ITICES WILL BE TAKEN TO
WHICHEVER PAPER is TO PUB
LISH THEM, WHICH PAPER WILL
RENDER FULL BILL FOR THE
SERVICE. Heretofore the bills had
to be divided up and made much eX-
ira work for the city clerk and fn-
Iance committee"
and what did the Herald mean
when it said in its issue of that same
week?
HEREAFTER THE VARIOUS
WILL BE MADE IN
ONLY ONE PAPER INSTEAD OF
THE THREE. IT IS CONSIDERED
THAT THE RESULT WILL BE AS
SATISFACTORY and considerable
work will be saved the auditing |
committee 1t was all right, of |
course, for the city to pay the Her
aid or the Journal FULL LEGAL !,
RATES FOR ALL THE PRINTING,
while it was UNDER AN AGREE
MENT, but it was wrong for the
daily Freeman-Tribune to demand /
full legal rates for the occasional
work it would get and it would get
it only when the council was I'M
able TO use the other papers be-
cause of limited time for the publ
cations.
Moreover, as the Freeman-Trib-
une remembers it, it made no diff
ference to the taxpayers whether
the Freeman-Tribune got full rates
or not, because if it didn't the bal
ance went to the other papers, no
matter whether they performed any ;
of the service or not.
The Freeman-Tribune believes b
the Journal has received far more
money out of the city treasury dur
ing the past six years than any 9TH
er paper, yes than any other two pa L
pers, in the history of the city in
the same length of time. At least |;

CANADIANS FIGHT BRAvEIY.
By Henry Wood.

Paris, Feb. 2.-The Princess Patri-
Ella $ Canada's crack regiment bore the
brunt of another furious German charge
west of LaBassee, according 70 dis
patches from the front today. The
Canadians fought brilliantly hurling
the enemy back with severe loss, Then
they counter.attackel and captured a
position along the canal to Bethune
which was occupied by the Germans in
last weeks fighting.
Renewal of the bloody infantry en-
gagcments between LaBassee and
Bethune and violent cannonadng Of
the Belgian positions near lprcs were
the principal features IN today's ad-
yances from the front,
These advccs said the Germans are
now shelling the Belgian trenches.
Another series Of infantry charges is
anticipated
French shells set fire to a German
supply depot near Noyon. Along the
Aisne the French gunners silenced
several German batteries.
Slight progress has been made in the
Perthes region.
