Some persons find in the recent un
happy and unfortunate postal develop
ment texts for articles and sermons
against government ownership or man
agement of affairs But the points are not
well taken The fact that a few officials
operated private or personal grafts
whereby their salaries were argumented
a few thousands does not necessarily
militate against the splendid postal sys
tem Such grafts are by no means
confined to the postoffice department
but in some form or other may be seen
almost anywhere in official municipal
corporation affairs The graft is a
first cousin to the tip Both are in
widespread use And for the most part
neither has been considered in its proper
aspect or relation It is to the high
credit of the government that the post
office grafters are being sternly pro
secuted But if all the non governmental
grafters tipsters and beneficiaries
should be apprehended prosecuted con
victed and sentenced the prisons of the
land would be utterly inadequate to the
situation Let us not waste Excessive
righteous indignation over the postal
grafters while smiling complacently
at the operation of a similar situation in
almost any business of a public or cor
porate nature anywhere Grafts tips

PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
However curious we may be about
now things we are equally interested in
new facta about old things As wand
erers in a strange land we welcome the
coming of news from home When our
friends are away from us we liko to
know what they are doing especially
when their accomplishments are note
worthy
Mr Frank II Spearmans work is
watched more closely in McCook prob
ably than anywhere else for the reason
fiat Mr Spearman once lived here
From having known the man we have a
keener appreciation of his writtings than
strangers have We read his stories
not only for the stories sake but for
their authors sake as well To see
something he has written is like renew
ing an old acquaintance
Mr Spearman has an individuality
His work is characteristic He is like
no other man and he writes himself into
his books Ho is original and he im
presses his individuality upon his work
This is the chiefest reason forhis suc
cess This is why his stories are popu
lar why his writings are eagerly sought
by editors and eagerly read by the pub
lic If he has not always new things to
say wo expect at least to find the old
things said in a new way and novel ex
pressions of old truths serves quite as
well as the announcement of discoveries
There are many writers but few who
have a style peculiar to themselves
Children learn by imitating and the
greater number of us do not get beyond
the imitative period Every man has a
personality but not many men disclose
it We continue to do things not in
our way but in the old way We ad
mire cleverness yet cleverness consists
in being oneself in being original We
are over on the lookout for the new in
literature as in the other professions
and in the arts Our minds are alert
and weary of monotony and grasp at
what promises to be different from any
thing else we know
McCook will be glad to learn that in
the issue of the Saturday Evening Post
for July 11th Mr Spearmans newest
novel The Presidents Daughter be
gan serial publication The fact of its
appearance in a periodical of such stand
ing is the best evidence of the regard in
which Mr Spearman is held not only
by the public but by the editors No
better fate than to be within reach of the
Posts half million readers could befall
the work of any author

Blackheads pimples greasy faces and

The Scientific Germ Killer
It contains every antiseptic known
to science
Hog Cholera
Is a germ disease of the intestines
The cholera bacteria finds its way
into the animal through the drinking
water or filth passing into the stom
ach and finally down along the intes
tines it sets up fermentation and from
there filters through the blood liver
and other organs
Hog cholera cannot be treated suc
cessfully unless treatment is com
menced before the germ has reached
the period of rapid multiplication If
taken in time it can be cured and in
all cases prevented by the use of
Liquid Koal because it is the only
known germicide that will pass
through the stomach into the intes
tines and from there into the blood
permeating the whole system and
still retain its germ killing properties
All other so called cholera cures lose
their potency by the acid reaction of
the gastric juices of the stomach
hence have no value
