QUALITY rs ESSENTIAL

The county bosses are lining up for
their favorite candidates and some
really warm political battles will be
fought. In one way this IL all right
providing each side stays within the
bounds of truth. IL q candidate Is
known 10 have been u crook before he
took up his residence in Quay county
there il a way TO find out the facts
and when a man runs for public Of
fee on any ticket the opposition most
always publishes the faults of the COM
p%etitor. Most Of US think little Of a
man who claims a perfect past and
yet is afraid TO have the public know
from whence he came.
The Office Of sheriff will perhaps be
the most holly contested and there
will be all classes Of men out for the
job. There Is no use to have a sheriff
unless he believes in protecting the
right of the ~law-abiding citizens. II
he is backed by the crooks IL does
not necessarily infer that he is crook
ed. but il stands TO reason that the
lawless element have no use for q
fearless officer who makes them abide
by such laws as the government has
caused TO be enacted for the public
welfare and safety.
The other Offices are worth filling
with the best men available and Quay
county has plenty of such men. The
man who detests graft and works to
the desires and interests Of the COM
mon people is a safe man and should
be given the support Of the honest
voters who will place principle be-
fore party in the county election.
There is no such a thing as picking
the best man in national affairs for
most Of us. The Republican party
platform says one thing, the Demo-
cratic another, and every other party
has a different way Of thinking. n
n man believes the teachings of his
party he will not support a candidate
for president on the opposite side,
and practically the same applies TO
the state campaign. A man might
be the best mar on earth and believe
differently from you and IL you vote
for him he will not change his way
Of thinking just because you voted
for him.
County affairs are more of a bua-
ness proposition. We want good men
10 conduct our private affairs and we
ask what party he belongs TO.
The laws OF u state are not made
in such a way as to allow the differ
ent counties to interpret them differ
emily. The only way any party should
expect to elect It's men for county and
city Offices is to put up the best OBJ
tainable.
Just because a man is u democrat
or republican Is no reason he is the
man for the place. Some men can
change their politics within a nights
time and get away with it. These
men are usually the ones that pick
out the imperfeetions Of their brother
and cry them aloud from the house
tops. II a man believes the republican
party is the best he should not run on
the democrat ticket and expect them
70 support him. We believe all par
ties have enough really good men to
put on their tickets, and IL never be-
comes necessary 70 90 into some 9th
er party for a candidate.

The passing of the knocker and
dissatisfied citizenship is a well known
fact. They have finally left our midst
and now inhabit other cities. We are
sorry for the other cities but glad

since learning how 10 farm and raise
good crops every year they do not
discourage the newcomer but are
willing to assist the immigrants in
every way possible.
