RECALLS EARLY DAYS

fBy Associated Press To The Banner1
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May l7-Pion-,
eering days of journalism in the west
were recalled here recently with the
retirement of Celbe c. Cline, manag-
ing editor of the Kansas City Journal
Mr.. Cline began his long newspaper
career in 1881 as printers Devil"
on the Democrat of Leadville, Colo.
When the big rush" to the Cherokee
Strip opened in 1890 he was an ex-
perienced editor, and he set out for
the Indian Territory from his parents
home in Kansas in prairie schooner
carrying complete printing plant.
Mr.. Cline recounted his experiences
at q farewell banquet in his honor.
The voyaging editor set stakes at
Pond Creek, unloaded his printing
press and got out what he declares
was the first paper published in the
Indian Territory carrying an account
of the race for land.
His editorial office and saloon,
Mr.. Cline says, were the first two
business establishments to spring up
in Pond Creek
In the rush of events the editor
found himself elected the first mayor
of Pond Creek. He was elected by
majority of 21 over his lawyer oppo-
nent, who was also his boon cOmpan-
ion. Serious problems soon confront
ed the fledgling municipality.
"The Rock Island running north
and south, divided Pond Creek into
two towns" Mr.. Cline said "The

road station and brought pressure to
bear on the railroad not to stop its

an ordinnce making it an offense for
trains to run through Pond Creek at
greater speed than six miles an hour.
"Of course the ordinance was ignor-

DESERVES TO BE ELECTED
Captain of Corning Company a Cam
didate for Attorney General

The people of Audubon county
are particularly interested in the
candidacy of B. j. Gibson of Corning
for Attorney General on the republi-
can ticket. The reason they have
particular interest in him is the
fact that a number of Audubon
county boys were in the Corning
company in the recent war of which
Mr.. Gibson was the captain. All of
the boys speak highly of him and
they and their friends will delight
in giving him their support at the
June primaries.
Mr.. Gibson is a lawyer of great
ability. He represented his dis
trict in the state senate when the
war broke out. 1t was then that
he resigned to join his company
which was among the first to go to
France. Our readers will be inter-
ested in the splendid endorsement
he had received from the newspapers
in southwestern Iowa and the fol-
lowing from the Creston Advertiser
Gazette.
1.-THE announcement that foremr
Senator j. Gibson of Corning is
to make the race for the republican
nomination for attorney general
will be received with pleasure and
satisfaction by the people of this part
of the state and by all others who
know him. His strength will by no
means be confined to southwestern
Iowa, for he has friends and sup
porters in all parts of the state,
but IL he is to win success il is from
l.. ..A - 80 l. .n.N
loyal and enthusiastic support must
come. And IL will come, for Mr..
Gibson is the kind of man who re-
ceives loyal and enthusiastic sup
port, not only because of his quail
ties as a citizen but also because Of
his fitness for the office he seeks.
"Mr. Gibson is a clean and up
right young man, a patriotic and
useful citizen, strong and loyal re-
publican and a successful and well
equipped lawyer. He was captain
OF the Corning company when the
boys were in the border in the trou-
BILE with Mexico and was a captain
and operations officer in the Sew
enty-second U. S. infantry during
the great war He was a member
of the Iowa senate; resigning TO en-
ter the service of his country in the
world war. He is lawyer of
broad and successful experience
and a man OF good judgment and
good sense and balance. He is
splendidly equipped for service as
attorney general and IL nominated
and elected will undoubtedly makea
fine record In office. He is the kind
Of a man whom his friends can sup
port without apologies or explana-
lions and we believe that without
question he is the strongest of the
candidates for the office"
