AS TOLD BY The HERALD

Brother "Puckins' of the Hope
Herald says that large delega-
ton went to Washington to see
the removal of the records well
done. Our understanding is that
Sheriff Keel attended to the re-
moval of the records and that
large delegation in automobiles
must have taken the wrong road
and arrived at some other destl-
nation, as thev we're conspicuous
by their absence on said occa-
sion. 1t is an undeniable fact
that it took the few patriotic"
Hope enthusiasts several days to
complete a job which was eXecu-
ted in few hours by a hundred
or so good citizens of the county
one month earlier. This has its
significance in that it clearly por
travs the sentiment of the citi-
zenship of this county in denun-
citation of the highway robbery
methods indulged in by the lead
ers in the fight for the removal
of the county seat
West second avenue" sounds
big, doesn't it? Is that the ware.
house location south of the alley
and east of the Frisco railroad?
Convenient to all the people of
the county" We would like TO
know who told Bro. Puckins to
say that; we know that this good
(?) brother has been in Hope for
only a few moons, hailing from
we know not where, but he has
evidently been there long enough
to know who to go to for misin-
formation, Judging from the dope
he is dishing out which is free
enough from blurs and smears
for his dozen or so subscribers
to decipher.
But perhaps we should moi
censure Bro. Puckins too much
owing to certain pressure" he
limited at in an interview" with g
certain informant recently. The
informant had read a misstate
ment in his paper in regard tt
the county seat case and went t
him and asked why he published
such falsehoods. His answer was
that if he-the informant-wa'
publishing a paper in Hope j
would be necessary for him to dc
likewise.

There may be no case where
governments have broken diplo-
matte relations and not gone to
war, but there are a great many
things in this war that have no
precedent in history, and where
two great governments wish to
set a precedent for not going to
war after severing relations there
is nothing to prevent them from
making one,

England contends that the sub
marine can be managed, but the
ships continue to 90 down and
one seldom hearsof the undorseas

England give the world some idea
of the mum Der of submarines that
have gone to help populate the
bottom of the ocean? Perhaps
this is military secret, but the

ceuraged to know that an occa
sional underseas boat was sent
