Will II. KoIb For Chancery Clerk

Mr.. Will II. Kolb, who served the
people of Monroe county satisfacto-
rily as their chancery clerk some two
decades ago. has decided to ask them
for that office in the coming cleo
ton. His name will be found in
the proper column in this paper.
Mr.. kolb's record as an official is
characterized by uniform courtesy,
efficiency and conservatism, and his
Department in the private walks of
life has been without reproach. If
these things commend a man for
favorable consideration when he Of
fers for a place of public trust, Mr.
Kolb's candidacy will appeal strong
ly to he people.
Besides serving as chancery clerk,
Mr.. Kolb is now representing the
county in the lower house of the
State legislature. In that body his
service was marked by effort direct
ed i'm the interest of economic gov
eminent and absence of partisan
zeal. which won for him the reputa-
ton of a safe legislator. Mr.. Kolb
is handicapped in the physical pur-
suits of life. having but one leg. He
is commonly known as peg leg by
his hundreds of friends. However,

FOR FLETCHER'S
CA 8 T r a
Maxwell House, Berkeley Blend,
Jockey Club Coffee, same old price,
three pounds for ST., at Murphy's,

The price of white news print pa
per is double what it was in 1916,
and at times during last year, was
thribble. Hundreds of weekly news
papers were forced to suspend.
When newspapers are throttled by
prohibitory prices of material or by
suppression of free speech, the stu
alton is not healthy for the masses.
A free country is best advanced by
an honest press unhampered as to
freedom of speech. The govern
ment, through the federal trade
commission. has decided to reopen
the question of paper prices. The
war is now oyer and the restrictions
upon free press are likely soon to
be removed. The newspaper will
then come into its own and resume
its function as safeguard of the
liberties of the people.
