YES, THINK IT OVER

The PlentyWoOd Herald which paper
was awarded the county printing con-
tract last week without bids, by Commits
sioners Anker and French, has leading
editorial entitled: Think 1t Over" con-
Stunning about two thirds of its six col
umn editorial page devoted to defense
OF the letting of the printing contract
without bids in the current issue, written
by Burley Bowler and an attack on Ed
tor Taylor of the Producers News, in
which that odoriferous object of his Brit
ish Majesty calls Taylor a notorious
crook, an abominable liar and CRATER.
This is not the first time Burley Bow
Ter has called the writer all of these
things. They never were true. He has
called several others including F, French
the same thing. We are of the opinion
that he overstated the facts even in re-
gard to French - for while French will
perhaps stretch the facts for political
ends, we would not say that he is an
'abominable liar" for we have found
French pretty much man of his word
Anyway in all cases where he has given
us his word he has always kept it, We
cannot say so much for Burley Bowler
or his delectable business partner, Harry
Polk-for we know from experience that
Polk is 'chippey liar that his word
of honor is no good, and that there is
nothing too low, too debased, to con-
temptable, too degenerate, for that man
to stoop to, to turn filthy dime. Ev-
erybody else who knows Polk knows
well enough how true that statement is.
And people in this county are fully
aware that Bowler in some regards is a
match for Polk, and all in all they have
much in common. We will not say
Frank French is a notorious crook,
tho we do submit that number of his
banker friends are. We will agree with
Burley and the facts will bear out the
conclusion that French is a slick graft
er" But at that, say the worst about
French, he is a shining example of vir-
tue and manhood when stood up along
side of either Burley Bowler or Harry
Polk, his odoriferous and shameless part
ner. We cannot class Frank French
with such iIk And while we will state
frankly that Joe Dolin is burglar, pure
and simple, yet he pretends to be nothing
else, never told anybody differently, and
does not 90 about under the hypocritical
DISCUSSES assumed by Bowler and Polk.
Dolin is a man alongside of that outfit.
And we wont even be so unreasonable
as to compare him with such scum. We
are offering no excuses for Dolin.
When it comes to being Z a crook,
liar and CRATER Burley Bowler stands
among men without a peer. Bowler is
a man decent men will not associate
with Polk is man decent men will not
invite into their homes.
But they are the sort of men that Vic
tor Anker will give the county printing
contract to without bids, at an expense to
the taxpayers of the county of several
thousand dollars-no doubt because this
honest, respectable gentleman would
like to furnish Bowler some poker
money from the bags of the taxpayers
of Sheridan county, or Harry Polk few
shekels to finance the seduction of ten
der daughters of honest men. That is
the sort of men Victor Anker,i in spite Of
all his reputed decency, in spite of all his
honest pretensions, associates himself
with, which pollution he takes into his
own home (and whom even his good
wife, Mrs. Anker favors) patronizes and
rewards with your money, the hard earn
ed taxpayers money without even the
justification of the lowest bid. Those
are the men-scum of the earth, dregs
of society, one not even a citizen of the
realm = that Victor Anker prefers to
favor above the Producers News, owned
by his neighbors and even himself, pa
per that has always honestly fought the
battles for the farmers-men whom the
Anker family hypocritically pretends to
prefer to the editor of the Producers
News, and about which editor Anker
feigns to believe every towdry piece of
libel and SANDER that is circulated, in or
