Worthy Purpose.

The United War Work Campaign

making things go, and he will have
plenty of capable assistants.

HARVEY HILL BUYS
COLORADO NEWSPAPER
Veteran Newspaper Man of This Sec
ton Again In Business.

Harvey w. Hill, who has worked
on papers in Liberal and conducted
a paper in Gray, Oklahoma, for the
past twelve or thirteen years, is
again in business.
Harvey left Gray a year or more
ago, and engaged in business in Col
orado. Disposing of his business
there he returned to this county and
has been working at the Democrat
Office.
Now he has purchased the Olney
Springs Joural at Olney Springs, Col
orado, and has taken charge of the
business.
Judging from the looks of the pa
per he is locating in a good town and
we certainly hope his venture proves
all that he anticipates.
Harvey deserves the best that this
world offers. In all the time we have
known him we have never heard i'll
spoken of him, and those who know
him best admire him most. He is as
honest as the day is long, and will go
any distance to help friend. He is
a good newspaper man, one of the
fearless kind who call things by their
right name, and he is an asset that
any town may feel proud to acquire.
We commend him to the people of
0lney Springs without reserve. They
will find him true blue for the things
that are worth while, but would ad-

Attorney Clyde R. Commons has
been irving to break into the ser.
vice without waiting to be called in
the draft, but it seems that he is
having trouble in finding something
that will take him to the scene of
action soon enough to suit him. He
has made application for enlistment
in the motor trasport corps and also
for the officers training school and
is in hopes that one or the other will

made arrangements and is raring to

Shouse Was Not Responsible
GRAM

Hutchinson, Kansas,
Oct. 80, 1918.
Leading citizens of Medicine
Lodge, all of them Republicans, have
sen. out letters and affidavits relative
to Mr.. Tincher's life and habits. If
the statements made and affidavits
secured were untrue, those originat-
ing them can be sent to the peniten-
tiary for criminal libel and judg-
ments for several hundred thousand
dollars can be collected from them.
Nobody knows that better than Mr..
Tincher. But instead of filing suit
for libel and damages against these
responsible men who admit authoriza-
tion of these statements, Mr.. Tincher
resorts to the newspapers, charging
that 1 am responsible for putting out
these letters and affidavits. That
charge is lie. had no knowledge
of either the affidavits or letters un-
til they had been sent out, and neith-
er l nor any of my committee had
anything whatever to do with the
origination or circulation of these
documents. Its sponsors are all
members of Mr.. Tincher's party in
Mr.. Tincher's home town.
JOUETT SHOUSE." 1"
After reading the above kilograms
it will readily be seen that it is mani
festly unfair to charge the Democrat
ic party with "Dirty Politics" as Mr.
Tincher has done.
The Democrat has had these let
ters and affidavits in its possession
for several days, but would not use
them, and we would not mention the
matter at this time were it not for the
abuse of the Democrats on the part
of Mr.. Tincher.
The letters plainly state that the
signers are all Republicans, and if
dirty politics has been indulged in as
Mr.. Tincher claims, it is in his. own
door yard
