Will Make No Mistake
The Trirune is pleased to learn that
tho friends of C Lester Littel of Cul
bertson aro insisting upon his being
a candidate for county suporfntendont
of public instruction for Hitchcock
county
Lester is a fine young man of excel
lent parts a thorough gentleman of
unimpeachable habits and an educator
and instructor destined to tako a high
pace among tho leaders of Nebraska
schoolmen
Commencing with tho Bertrand high
school ho finished with honors with
tho class of 1902 McCook high school
Since being graduated from
Cook high schools ho has taken two
years in tho Nebraska University so his
educational qualifications are beyond
cavil or question
His experience as a teacher notwith
standing he is a young man covers
several years Commencing with a
year in tho country schools of Red
Willow county he next served two
years as assistant principal of the Dor
chester public schools For two years
thereafter he was principal of tho
schools of Roca and declined a third
year in this school to resume his work
in the Nebraska University
He was dissuaded from this high
purpose and expectation at tho earnest
request of many friends and admirers
in Hitchcock county who regard him
as most promising material for the
position of county superintendent in
which opinion The Tribune also holds
affirmative views While a Republican
in politics we note that his friends
come from all political parties in Hitch
cock county a particularly creditablo
fact when we consider the non partisan
character of the office
Mr Littel belongs to the progressive
school of educational men and it would
be his invincible purpose to place
Hitchcock countys public schools in
tho forefront among the counties of
the state The people of Hitchcock
county will make ho mistake in nomi
nating and electing MrLittel to the im
portant office of county superintendent
In this issue The Tribune publishes
on its own motion the statement of
County Commissioner Gray concerning
the recent suits instituted against the
commissioners of Red Willow county
Mr Gray broadly intimates that the
suits are the result of personal spite and
that the spite was generated by his re
fusal to allow the claim of Robert Baker
for special detective services in the
Spaulding assault case Another prom
inent feature of his statement is the
claim that he would act in future cases
as he has in the cases cited as irregular
in the suits that he has no apology to
offer for any of his past actions as coun
ty commissioner regarding them as
proper and defensible Tfe Tribune is
prepared to give publicity to anything
pertinent to this matter offered by
either side of this controversy The rec
ord shows technical violations in any
event And it is quite probable that
county affairs have not been carried on
with as careful regard for legal proced
ure as the people of the county desire
If any one has any light to throw on
this subject for the common good let it
be forthcoming
The fact that Governor Sheldon has
appointed Henry T Clark Jr to fill
the unexpired term of Robert Cowell on
the State Railway Commission is an evi
dence of confidence on the part of the
governor in Mr Clarks ability and pur
pose and will go far in assisting the
candidacy of Mr Clark for nomination
bn the Republican ticketthis September
Representative Clark in tho last legisla
ture made a record in the interests of
the people in his efforts to pass measures
demanded by the people and so far as
The Tribune is advised he is not only
well qualified but entitled to the confi
dence of the people

William Makepeace Thackeray has
been credited with naming Washington

This is Incorrect Thackeray may have
used the phrase but it originated with
John A Corwlne of Bellefontaine Lo

mous personage In the forties and fif
ties Once on a visit to the national
capital he wound up a period of ex
hilarating experiences in the visitors
gallery of the house of representatives
and as that august body came to order
Mr Corwlne felt impelled to rise in
his place and make a few remarks
He began I have been visiting this
city of magniflcent distances There
was a lot more but this sentence lived

not issue as big a warrant as the plain
tiff desired Any fair minded man by
examining the records and the records
are the best evidence will seo that it is
not the board of commissionersthey are
after but it is me they are trying to
catch and I desire to show this case as
they have alleged
They allege I received 86300 for the
same labor in 1907 They do not allege
I did nut earn this money but there is
no statute providing for the payment of
such chums to a county officer If they
made this claim on a strictly reform
movement why did they not allege that
RW DeVoe clerk of the district court
had for the same work done by me
been allowed 18600 as shown by com
missioners records on page 442 June 15
1905 These records aro public docu
ments and by investigation it will be
seen that I was not on the board on this
date so as this offense would come
against some one else than me no of
fense was committed
They allege that I was allowed war
rants for money I had paid for railroad
fare for paupers this is true The amount
they allege I think is S703 on two cases
But had I contracted on the county
credit for ten times that amount for tho
care of these paupers until the regular
meeting of the board they could not
and would not have had that expense
in their charges
They charge that I was allowed 81610
for serving on a jury I was subpoenaed
by the sheriff and qualified with Morlan
and Reeder in constant attendance in
court
In tho Spaulding case they allege
there is no statute providing for me to
get back 2000 I gave the sheriff for ex
penses in Curtis sheriffs bill shows
2000 deducted by expense advanced by
Gray and 800 I gave deputy sheriff
for expense to go to Grand Island to in
vestigate suspect Spaulding crime and
397 car fare to Wray Fitzgerald
Spaulding case 75c postage sending re
ward notices Spaulding case and 80c
telegram to state auditor for state coun
ty treasurer examiners Gossard case
If it was illegal for me to get my
money back in this case why was it not
illegal for P E Reeder to receive 14 40
expense in Spaulding case

Tho county commissioners of your
county are defendants in a suit brought
by W S Morlan and P E Reeder The
suit is brought to mako said commis
sioners pay back to tho county certain
claims audited by them and allowed in
the regular way and af tor said claims
were allowed tho warrants were held
by county clerk ten days so that any
one would have a right to protest against
tho delivery of warrants issued for
claims not lawfully allowed
I desire to show that it was not for
issuing too many claims that tlm action
was brought but because the board did

I would ask that theso expense ac
counts bo compared with tho expense of
all tho different ollicors of tho county
for tho last twenty years and as to tho
C A Rogers claim it has been stated
by Mr Rogors that Mr Morlan advised
him to fix up the filings tho records
show Mr Reedor present when almost
every claim was allowed and it is his
duty to advise tho board when they pass
on claims they have no legal right to al
low and for such service the tax payers
pay him 800 per year As to tho Rod
gers claim he insisted wo had a right to
allow this bill that it was not his Rod
gers duty to do this workwithout pay
In concluding I wish to say and with
out fear of contradiction that had I
voted Yes for every bill before the board
this action would never have been start
ed and as I have no apology to make to
any man on earth for that action and
would vote the same way again even if I
knew another action would be started
I am yours truly
