THE VALENTINE DEMOCRAT
EOBEET GOOD Editor and Publisher
Oficial Paper of Cherry Coun

iOO JPer Yeur in Advanee
PUBLISHED EVERY THUKSDATf
Entered at t he Post office at Valentine Cherry
county Nebraska as Second class matter
A flag staff surmounts the postoflice
the weather bureau aDd the land office
but the Indian- supply depot has
neither staff- n or flag Steps should
be taken to have a large staff erected
on or near this important government
office
A little row has been starred down
in Holt county by the two factions- of
the populist party One- of the
factions is booming M P Harrington
for the gubernatioral nomination and
the other is standing by Superintend
ent Jackson who desires a second
term
While looking over some old papers
the othet day we ran across a relic
a copy of the fist ticket we ever voted
It was a- primary ticket and as we
looked over the names thereon what
memories floated through our mind
How proud and manly we felt as we
walkedjto thejpolls in that eastern city
wjth thegconsciousness that we were
then a full fledged citizen of this great
country I How carefully we looked
up the record of every man whose
name was on that ticket Our readers
will forgive us if we say that we placed
more valuejupon that vote than we
did upon all our worldly possessions
because what true citizen is there who
did not at Uptime he first exercised
his rightJofsuffrage feel that same
way These and many other thoughts
flittedSthroughour mind as we looked
at thatcoldandf creased and worn bal
lot and thenfeame a rush of iudigna
tionjatzthe thought of how many peo
ple there are in this county who be
lieve or rather profess to believe that
we are andalways have been a repub
lican 2seed we remark dear reader
that theballot we are talking about is
headed Democratic Ticket
Tne woria Heraia of Jbeb 13 con
tains an account of how two ministers
in Missouri turned the tables on a
lot of young bloods The young
bloods gave a dance and as a good
joke invited all the ministers of the
town To theirsurprise two of the
ministers accepted the invitation ap
pearing on the scene of the festivities
after the dance had nicely begun The
clergymen said they had come as in
vited guests and asked the courtesy
due them as such One of them read
a chapter from the Bible and the other
offered a fervent prayer after which
they sang one of the good old hymns
which always makes a person long for
a better life Concluding their portion
of the entertainment the two men of
God left It is related that they did
Hot condemn dancers nor denounce
dancing but held out inducements for
better living and exhorted the young
people to think more of the future and
leBS of the present It is further re
lated that although the young- bloods
affected to be greatly amused over the
occurence the dancing hall wasdesert
ed long before the dance program was
finished
Moral Persuasion is bettei than
condemnation

About two weeks ago a smooth
gentleman entered our sanctum sanc
torum and in his smoothest and oilest
tone introduced himself as a traveling
man and said that he obtained all his
transportation from newspaper men on
bis route and that he was paying the
highest market price for editorial
mileage In proof of his assertion he
showed iwa book which he said he had
purchased of one of our metropolitan
newspapers We informed him in
language which was perhaps more
forcible than polite that we were not
engaged in violating our advertising
contracts in that way It is well
known that many newspapers do dis
pose of their mileage after signing a
contract to not allow it to be used by
any one not directly connected with
the paper but we think the practice a
very reprehensible one- and feel that
any newspaper man who does so places
a very low value upon his honor
It costs the village of v aientme
about 1200 a year to run its system
of water works exclusive of the in
terest on bonds and the department
is not self sustaining especially during
the spring and summer months when
lawn sprinklers are at work Water
is furnished to the consumer for res
idence purposes at the rate of 1000
ayear In spite of these facts ther3
jare people in town who actually steal
all the- water they use This is a
shame and disgrace the- man who
steals water from the city is no better
than the man who steals coal or wood
from his neighbor Every time he
steals a barrel of water he- makes it
necessary for the pump station to use
a little more coal aud as the deficiency
in the water department must be made
up from other sources he steals from
the community at large Just yes
terday we saw a party hauling water
away from a hydrant in a barrel and
investigation disclosed the fact that
he was and has for some time been
doing so without the consent of the
village or any of its oflicers This
party must take a tumble to himself
or there wilnbe trouble the village has
iput up with this pilfering long enough
and the marshal will enforce the ord
inances made for such cases Otuer
parties are engaged m using their
neighbors hydrants after dark and in
tfte early morning hours- when they
think they are unnoticed but they
may find out their error some day
This is intended merely as a warning
if we learn of a repetition of the flag
rant offense cited stronger terms wiU
be used next week
