The L'Anse sentinel., 1919-02-14

ecutor has had an increase in salary
by allowing him rent, fuel and stenog-
raphy hire, the Judge of probate has
been allowed clerk hire, the treasurer
at ore time was allowed S50o.00 extra
pay for no reason whatsoever except
possibly fer his personal Charms. This
increase in salary was giver by
LAnse supervisor who is q personal
friend of Westphal and consequently
nothing has been mentioned about it
by said Westphal. The supervisors
used as fair judgment in setting these
salaries as they know how. Is there
any reason to believe that they cannot
set fair and just salary for their
medical man also, or is the doctor to
be kicked about like a football, to be
submitted to bidding and do two or
three thousand dollars worth of work
for one hundred dollars. Does this
muckraker Westphal think that the
supervisors are in the game of abso-
lutely belittling the medical profess
sion to the degree of not knowing that
that laborer is worth his hire?
Does not this pinhead know that the
supervisors are cognizant of the fact
that $4,000 to $4,000 was paid by
the county for an epidemic in 1901
and 1902 and that they wish to avoid
another dose of the same medicine?
Can the pinhead Westphal conceive
what the county would have had to
pay for infectious diseases if there
had been no county doctor for the last
seventeen years that have elapsed? +?
Will the mud singer set fair county
salary for medical men so that we can
go by that and consequently avoid be-
ing downed and slandered and muck
raked and called grafters, liars and
thieves and unpatriotic, and otherwise
maligned.
The game wardenship, which does
nobody any good, where person thru
political pull loafs around and seeks
to arrest farmers and other, poor, in
dignant people for shooting deer and
catching fish for their own immediate
needs, these wardens reserving the
game for outsiders in the state who
are amply able to buy everything they
need. For this job these wardens
get from $4,000 to $150000 in sal
ary. Compare this plum with an in
fectious disease contract and decide
which is the more human, logical and
charitable One is pure political ma
chine baby, the other is human ne
cessity and money saver for the
county. Westphal is pure SANDER
Gus and spiteful human snake of a
vengeful nature or else he would have
taken up the necessary purity propa-
ganda where it is actually needed, but
no-he uses his paper for purely self
ish motives. The doctor and his
friends shall be killed morally, polit-
ically and professionally because he
has not the graft o. X of Westphal
and Westphal and Westphal's friends
and associates.
When a man will stoop to this and
follow with the rest Of his defamatory
harangue partly for the small consid-
GRAFTON of not receiving part of the
graft of the county printing, which as
a whole amounted to $4,000, what
would this man not do for 100000?
Another mans life would not be worth
snowflake in Hades against it.
1t is also an admitted and known
fact that if any other doctor than my
self had this county contract there
would not be one word said pro or con
by Westphal in his paper. It is an
unmitigated slander of the most Wilt
flying character, Notwithstanding it's
asinine qualities, with obtusive tenn
Gritty that this muckraker Westphal
howls graft when he knows that he is
lying. When man Of Westphal's
makeup ISLANDERS the supervisors who
have held Offices for II years, different
ones being elected each year by the
people, he is biting off huge chunk
of rot which ! do not believe the peo-
pie will help him to swallow and di-
gest. He should be made to gulp it
whole, causing such an acute digestion
that the courts would have to settle
same in putting him to rest behind
the bars and keep him there until the
bite had worked off his stomach.
