Lemons PUTS
SCHOOL CASE TO
LEGAL OFFICER
Attorney General Says County
Superintendent Must Be
Qualified for Office at
Primary and Election.

State Superintendent w. H. Glenn
mons has given out the following
statement regarding tenure of Office
Of county superintendent, about
whose legal qualification there was
doubt at time of primary or election.
The question is put whether this
has any bearing on the case of
Mable johnson, elected superinten-
dent of Douglas county. She quail
fed between the time of the primary
and election by obtaining a first
grade certificate.
Mr.. Clemmons' statement follows:
"A matter of public interest has
come up in the state relative to
county superintendent elected to
office who were not at the time Of
the election eligible to hold that of.
fce,-that is, they did not hold a
first grade county certificate at the
time of election.
"The law says that anyone hold
ing the office of county superintend'
ent must have at least first grade
county certificate in force in the
state of Nebraska at the time ol
his election.
ITO better inform myself on the
matter, | submitted this question to
the attorney general:
What are the legal steps that
must be taken to prevent a person
who does not hold a first grade
county certificate at the time Of his
election from assuming the office OF
county superintendent
I'm his reply, he pointed out very
clearly that, if person was elected
to the office of county superinten-
dent without being eligible, that is,
not holding first grade county GER
tifcate, there was no election of
county superintendent and that the
present incumbent, being duly quail
illed, could take the oath of office.
give a bond and hold over until his
successor is duly elected and duly
qualified.
1--WE have one instance, at least,
where the candidate was nominated
a the primaries and the matter was
taken into court. The court held
that the name of such person could
not be placed on the ballot without
being eligible-that is, to say, he
would have to hold a first grade
county certificate at the time his
name appeared on the ballot. This
includes both primary and general
elections"

FOURTH LIBERTY
LOAN MEETINGS
Schedule Has Been Arranged for
Next Week by Chairman Jones

Extensive preparations have been
made for launching the Fourth Liberty
Loan campaign in Garrett county.
Chairman E. R. Jones has appointed
district leaders and deputies and ar
ranged meetings for the coming week
as follows:
Saturday. September 2Sth-Accident,
4:3Gp. m; Friendsvllle, 8 p. m.
Monday, September 30th-Finzell. s
p. m. Pope, 8 p. m; Avilton, D. m.

Saturday, October 5th-Vindex, o.

1t is the consensus of opinion that the
Fourth Liberty Loan is more important
and has greater significance than any
previous loan. Since the end of the last
campaign the American forces have
definitely broken into the war. Up to
this summer they had not been operat-
ing on any extensive scale. But nov
they have taken their stand with the
other Allies, as equals. They have won
brilliant victories, astonishing the AL
lied world. and terrifying the huns.
They have taken the initiative in more
than one battle, and have received un-
limited praise from their veteran broth
in arms. In view of these facts,
the coming Liberty Loan takes on add
ed Importance. 1t is to be the express
sion of Americas pride in her men; the
guarantee of her intention to back them
to the limit, and her most vigorous de-
fance of the enemy. Every town and
hamlet is represented Over There. 1t
is now personal issue with millions of
Americans.
The tide has turned and is sweeping
the filthy invader back to his barbarous
land. Every American wishes to help.
Every American can help. The Gov
eminent believes that every true Ameri-
can will help.
No:one can doubt that Garrett coun-
ty will do her share. Her record in the
Third Liberty Loan speaks for itself.
The slogan of every citizen must be:
Not my bit. but nv best On to
Berlin! Bridge the Rhine with Liberty

In congressional debate the past week some of the representatives called attention in bitter words to the custom of cluttering up the government printing presses and government mails with about anything congressman wants printed and mailed over the country at large. Particular attention was called to the free printing and mailing of several pages of document issued by a Congressman Blanton of Texas, who took this occasion to inform the rest of his ad- miring countrymen of the details of his pri- mary victory and the admiration said vic tory had executed in the minds of his devot- ed constituents. Several thousand of these perfectly useless documents were sent out broadcast. And Massachusetts congress man consumed eight pages of the Congress sional Record to tell the eager world what he thought about certain local conditions in the Berkshire hills back of Boston And the poor newspaper man has to hustle for paper and printers to issue his little old eight page sheet and then hustle still harder to get enough money to send it through the mails under the increased postal rates. The mail and printing franks of congressman are being abused in these war times as bad or worse than anything else that this column can think of right now, unless it be the mis- guided efforts of the horde of government publicity agents that infest Washington.

From all indications the 17,000 box and reserved seats will be sold before tomorrow night.
 The 15,000 general admission tickets will not be placed on sale until the day of each game.
 Owing to the lack of out of town pat ronage, as compared with former years, the crowds will be strictly home town" although a few delega- tions are coming from other cities.

 The first inning started out very nicely for the C. & A., when Berkel, on second, made a fine show in his return to Price, and ended Galt's and Brashear's try for a double steal, and thus closed the inning without a score. The first score was made by the c. & A. in the third inning. Sanchez came home when Youngman hit a sacrifice fly to center, and moved Gait nearer 10 home. There was no further score in the third, for Carnes was famed by Toner, and Brashear's grounder was weak one.
 It was in the last of the fourth in- ming that the teams tied up, and even in the fifth the JunctiOn-Briggs kept a further gain from the c. & A., leav- ing Wilson to score for them on Der kePs double to left. But in the sixth the lead went again to the c. & A. when Sanchez gave a fine dOuble-bag- ger, scoring Jansen and Smith, and then in the last half of the inning the Junction-Briggs came out again in the lead for the second time
 Neither team scored in the seventh. In the eighth the score was again tied, but broken by the Junction-Brggs in the last of the same inning winch resulted d in their winning the days game. The C.. & A. failed to score in the ninth.

James Keeley, the famous Chicago news paper man, recently returned from Europe, declares that conditions in Russia are past description. Famine and Pestilence will claim one-third of the population by spring, according to Keeley There IS no credit in that unhappy land, no factories, no agri- culture, no business. The Bolshevik flood ed the coal mines the first thing and there by killed all industry. Misery and disor- ganization walking hand in hand through Russia have already done their worst, it would seem, and yet, says Keeley, there is worse to come. Prussia is planning Prus- sian king for Russia. That ought to be the capstone of human endurance to misfor- tune Unless the allies and the Czecho- Slavs strike quickly, the Russian will be able to read the book of Job and smile sad ly over the comedy of this ancient mans alleged misfortunes.
