DIR. W. E. LYONS A
CANDIDATE FOR
COUNTY CORONER
Vel KnoIDn Physician, If
Elected, VIII Cooperate With
Shernfs office and Dis
trict AttOrneq

One would perhaps not think
OF the office of County Coroner
as furnishing situation for
the development of an ideal. In
the minds of most of us there
is associated with this office
the thought of tragedy,-of
death and disaster-the col
lapse of hope, ambition and en-
deavor and the descent of the
Grey Curtain upon the scene.
And yet, as one considers the
duties of a coroner more SER
iously, it is to be seen that it is
a place which calls for the very
highest standards of principle.
More than that, it calls for a
refined sense Of duty and re-
sponsibility. To be a good Cor
oner, man must have tact and
sympathy. He must have un-
shakable integrity. He must
have an understanding of life,
of the turn taken by human
emotions and impulses under
the stress of life's crises.
Many think of the profession
of undertaken as gruesome and
ghoulish and as flouishing up
on sorrow; but conceived of
ideally, the undertaker's office
is a most delicate one. The
undertaken touches our lives at
the most sensitive point. He
comes when the heart is laid
bare and the emotions are all
quivering. A good undertaken
requires more tact and under
standing than one in the most
exalted of the learned profess
sions.
The office of Coroner is in
many ways very similar.
DR.. w. E. Lyons is the candi-
date for Coroner of those who
hold an ideal for that office.
He has been brought into this
| race by those who get a full
perspective upon a Coroner's
responsibilities and conceive of
them as going beyond the mere
stamping of official approval
upon the last act of a tragedy.
DR.. Lyons is a professional
man of the highest type. In
his private life he is a man Of
spotless integrity and of the
very highes principle. He
maintains the same attitude to-
ward matters of large import
ance and small. In his estima-
ton. the principle involved is
the thing and the event itself
unimportant. Many, many
people in all sections of the
county believe that such an esti-
mate of ones responsibilities
as DR.. Lyons manifests in his
everyday life has possibilities
for lifting the whole standard
of conduct for the Coroner's
office. They know that DR..
Lyons would make a good Cor
oner because he is a good doc
tor, good citizen and a good
! man.
DR.. Lyons may perhaps need
some little introduction to the
people of the valley, though he
has lived here a good many
years. He is one who attends
to his business and keeps out of
the spotlight and accordingly
may not have as wide an ac2~
quaintance as many others. But
he is one of the substantial
citizens of the valley. He holds
the highest position in his pro-
fession. More than that, he is
property owner and a ranch
er. He has a farm in the Mes
quite Lake section of the valley
and another south Of Ell Centre,
so that he may be said to be in
and of the fundamental enter
prises of the county. He takes
an interest in all civic and eco
nomic affairs and people who
know him have learned to rely
upon him as being on the right
side of questions. He is one of
our colony of Nebraskans, but
