the completion of that road as far
north as Milford before next winter.
Last week a deed was passed by John
Kern, who resides at the western en-

pOration. He was literally treated bv
those in charge of the negotiations.

executions the right-of- is secured

county line. Negotiations with one
of these land owners have reached
such a state that it is almost assured
that his opposition will be removed

him out of the way only one farm

clear right Of way. Milford people

wilson, LIE IRE AND LIE

NEWS was somewhat interested
in your editorial entitled The Head
less Trib." by reason Of the fact that
recently I received a letter from the
secretary Of war, in which he COM
mented upon the attitude of the Trib-
une, with its infamous editorials and
news items, tending to bring about
dissension amongst the peoples of
this nation, by reason Of the fact that
so many readers of the Tribune pre-
fer to pay one cent for thoughts man
ufactured and garbled by another
than to do any thinking for them
selves; accepting narrow-minded
prejudice as the gospel truth; DELHI
crate, malicious Misrepresentation
as impossible of refutation; and mar
row partisanism as the ideal which
should control the growth of a ma
ton.
The Tribune is rotten to the core;
it Is willing dissemination Of false
hood; an instrument to carry out I'M
holy policies and alliances, even hy-
phenism in its most rampant form,
providing it reaps the advantages it
seeks to gain. When the Tribune, &C
cording to the secretary Of war,
adopted a policy, whereby it's man
ager saw fit to forward a telegram to
their reporter on the Mexican border,
directing him to secure every Incl
dent adverse to the Administrations
the columns of this egotistical sheet,
it showed its true quality, the caliber
of its supporters, their mental servi-
tude, more clearly than any other
outside force could have shown.
Surely any one knowing the policy
of that paper, as defined in this tele-
gram, must agree with the secretary
Of war when he shows that a paper
of its caliber can hardly be expected
to be a medium for the furnishing Of
anything but false and misleading
news items, or reports, or an editorial

MILLER OR HoYNE. - There
ought not to be a particle of doubt
in the mind of any voter as to the
desirability of eleoting Harry B. Mil
Ter states attorney.
The Day Book itself stands spon-
sor for the statement that Hoyne
holds his present position Illegally.
Why Cochran, knowing this, can con-
sistentIy advocate Hoyne's candidacy
is among the unexplained things po-
litically,
Hoyne will not cooperate with
Mayor Thompson to eliminate the
vicious and undesirable element in
the life of the city, The present
states attorney is both cratic and
headstrong. His illegal raid upon the
office Of Chicago's chief executive is
a gallery appeal for votes and much
