Last week The Reporter editor
caught particular H from both
Ladysmith Journal and Budget.
Now. when we found that we had
done Mr.. Miller an injustice we so
stated and as publicly as we gave
the unjust statement. This we be
lieve to be the duty Of a newspaper
and is the only way that man can
retain his self respect.
The other day When in Ladysmith
a business man of that city said to
us that Bell was afraid of Maloney,
and didn't dare Jump" on him; that
MaIoney having Bell tanned, found
no fun in Jumping" on him; there
fore, both Jump" on Richardson,
Now, as to that, we cannot vouch for
its truth except to say that to us it
looks that Way.-HaWkins Reporter.
The editor Of this paper did not
see the above until after last week S
paper was out.
1t will be noted that Brother Rich
ardson admits his editorial was I'M
just to Mr.. Miller. Well-that's what
We called his attention too, and be-
fore-not after-the Journal picked
the matter up. 1t would interest
Bro. Richardson's readers no doubt
if he would reproduce the article in
which the Budget gave him
particular H" We are unable to
find anything that fits that descrip-
ton.
And in the last issue Of the News
Budget preceding the issue Of the
Reporter that contained the above
We stated that the Reporter admit
ted that it may have been unjust to
the present assemblynan." We were
willing to give Bro. r. whatever
credit was due him for that. What
more does he want?
AS to the last paragraph it is Ger
tainly terrible to be exposed in the
way Brother Richardson shows us up
1t is a fact that the Journal and
News-Budget have found nothing to
chew the rag" about for several
weeks, which is certainly to be de-
plored. The News-Budget is absol-
utely independent Of any man, clique
Or faction; but our policy is to be
fair to everyone and we will not
climb over to the opposite side Of
any fence because we happen to find
the Journal Or anyone else on the
same side our convictions lead us.

Central Resumes Laying steel

Ed. Hanley of Rochester, Mimi,
who for years has been with the
Winona and ST. Peter road, arrived
here Tuesday to take charge Of the
steel laying crew that will commence
to lay the rails for the Wisconsin
Central On the line running from
Ladysmith to Duluth, Mimi. AS this
line is nearing completion there is a
great deal Of speculation as to the
amount Of traffic that will pass
through here from the head Of the
lakes. One who is in a position to
learn much Of the truth Of these
matters says there is no doubt that
inside of year the Company will be
hauling ore through here at the rate
of a train load an hour.

Unless we read the signs Of the
times incorrectly, Wisconsin water
powers will all be in the hands OF
gigantic monopoly in few years,
despite all the warnings the people
Of this state have had in the past
when there was time to prevent
it. If this monopoly is Of national
proportions it will make Standard
Oil and similar monopolies of the
past look like pikers in comparison.
And the people will pay the freight.

BUYS A LARGE
TRACT OF LAND
Baughman Invests in
43 Quarters in
Colorado.

j. w. Baughman and E. d. Coop
er went to Baca county, Colo, the
first of the week to inspect tract of
land. They were so well pleased
with the soil that they bought forty
three quarter sections.
Mr. Baughman has bought and sold
more land than any real estate man
in southwestern Kansas, and is con-
sidered a judge of real estate. He
believes that the buy good one, and
will enable homeseekers to secure a
home there at reasonable price.
The last two years the firm of
Griffith & Baughman has sold thous-
ands of acres of western land to
homeseekers. The day is coming
when farms in this vicinity will all
be sold to farmers who probably will
hold their possessions life time.
And this new acquisition will furnish
homes for the long list of customers
of the firm.

WORK ON WEST ROAD
is ALMOST COMPLETED

The road running west on Second
street, which the Chamber of Com
merce has been repairing is almost
finished. About three miles of the
worst sand in the county has been
hard-surfaced and will make fine
road as soon as rain will make it
possible to do some grading and drag
ging. The work on this road has
cost quite large sum of money as
there were two large hills to cut
down and several small ones. The
farmers of the vicinity contributed
literally to the cause and have been
working hard to get finished before
the spring work began. The balance
of the work will probably be done
with the new grader which the county
has bought.

GREAT PLAINS HIGHWAY
WORK is PROGRESSING

The Chamber of Commerce has
been pushing the organization of the
Kansas Division of the Great Plains
Highway and has received replies
from all towns along the proposed
route from Liberal to McCook, Neb.,
From the replies it is judged that it
will be an easy matter to carry the
proposition through to the Nebraska
line. Many of the responses convey
the information that part of the
route is already a highway which will
make the work much smoother. 1t
is planned to hold meeting in Scott
City some time during this month
where delegates will come from all
towns and perfect the Kansas organ
ization.

CRY ELECTION
QUIET AFFAIR
But One Ticket in Field
and Very Little 7
Interest.

Although Tuesday was city elec-
tion day in Liberal no.one would have
guessed it. But one ticket was in
the field and as there were no con-
tests it was immaterial whether OF
not one voted.
T. j. Smith, candidate for mayor
had the endorsement of all. He has
been identified with the administra-
tion of city affairs ever since Lib
'eral was a small village at the end of
the railroad. He and his brother
were among the first to erect brick
buildings in the town, and as he was
well qualified for the place had no
opposition.
The candidates for councilmen and
members of school board were among
the very best men of the town and it
is fortunate that no contest was Gre
ated to disrupt the people.
