think it is time for the people to
get busy with counter petitions and
Tor the voice of the people to be
needed. We have already voted
on the question as to which
shall control the roads, the county
commissioners or the road commission.
rhe question is then shall the people
rule or are we to be ruled by the am
bit on of one man? | cannot believe
he people have changed their minds
very materially either way since they
voted on this question.
| can't believe Senator Heath or
representative Milliken will override
their expressed will without first sub
hitting the question back to the peo-
DE to be settled by another election.
In case that were done it should not
be submitted before the next primary
which would give the people ample
time to discuss the matter and inform
themselves so as to vote intelligently.
The fight is on. the Sheriff has
marked off the line of battle. He is
waving the red flag. McRae's job
must be transferred to him.
Now, Sheriff, | ask that you halt
long enough to give us the facts and
figures as to just what you are going
tc do. Tell US where in the ID are
you headed and when you get there
what are you going to find? You
you are going to save the people
lot of money. Please tell us in
U,ain figures; put it down in black
and white how much and how. Tell
US how much lower will our taxes be
for this next year compared with the
,ast year. How much lower will the
rate of taxation be? You are one of

aan, and you fix and make the levy
for taxes. Big job before you, as
much as you can attend to without
fooling with McRae's job. You are in
a responsible place and we are going
% hold you to strict account. Now
give us the light; give US facts and
sures and show what you can do.
Don't monkey with the people. We
are like the Missourians, we must be

you had not been in office two weeks

you have raised more hi in two

"Just the Wife of Dudley Field Malone''

NEW YORK.-Marriage has wrought N little change in the feminist views of Doris Stevens, erstwhile suffrage picket and now the wife of Dudley Field Malone, former collector of the port. Miss Stevens, formerly of Omaha, and her husband have returned from trip to France and England.
 As to her name, Miss Stevens has decided that save for occasional social purposes she will not adopt that of her husband. The cause of this, she said, is not that she is so proud of her maiden name or that she considers It a matter of vital importance, but because she believes the change in name flinders the freedom of thought and conduct of both parties.
 If I become Mrs. MalOne,' she went on,' every political move I make and every opinion I express reflects to some degree on my husband. If he holds different views from mine, which is certainly his privilege, why should he have to suffer because of the similarity of name? Also, if we should support two different political candi- dates, for example, my work would be
