amount of asiuinity than usual by slurring the progressive pub lishers who attended tho meeting of the Nebraska Press Assosiation calling tboai front room printers post office editors etc Postmasters are the especial and pet objects always of Barkers ire One of the most meritorious meas ures beforo the legislature is the one providing that at the clote of each ses sion of the legislature all the laws en acted at that session shall be published in at least two papers in each county the papers to be of different political faith for the benefit of the public At present it is months after the enact ment of laws before even the attorneys know what has been done and the people who elect the legislators and foot the bills never really learn what their servants in Lincoln have done for them The bill is a good one and we trust it will receive the support of Representative ilorton and Senator VanUoskirk Representative W H Horton is bus ily engaged at Lincoln drawing his sal ary and voting each day for Kinkaid and Meiklejohn for Un ted States sena tors and listening to tho siren voices of the paid lobbyists who are just now so numerous at the state capital And it seems that he doubts his ability to cope with the situation alone so he recently wrote a letter to certain republicans here asking what he should do when the breakup on senator comes An ur gent protest against our representative voting for D E Thompson under any circumstances was written and circu lated The protest wrs headed We the undersigned republicans etc and when last heard of contained only two names that of County Clerk dictator Daniels being one The paper was cir culated with the utmost secrecy and was presented to all ttie war horses ot icpublicamsm and was given the chilly mit by them almost withou exception Even such radical pre-election anti Thompson men as Pettijohn and Towle refused to commit them selves in such an irrefutable manner and gave the circulator the merry ha ha as he sadly wended his way to the other supposedly anti Thompson men Everybody is getting ready to swallow Thompson and say they like him The Dago sits in his office ilen Trying to rule like a bantam hen Hell bluff the county with Johnstons pen For Barker His wiry look with fierceness bold A tiger car could welt be told As he ruub his paper in the same old mold Jbor Barker He long lias been a pet you know Had laud olllcc legais and lots of dough The county printing aud all the Bhow For Barker But for all this a locfe felt want Was in his mind and him did haunt - His ilhvorded sentences provoke a taunt For Barker A Jay of a printer came to town A writer great but without renown An all around ad and job man clown Twas Johnston Out of employment this Hawk I guvss Was meek and mild and in dire distress He was given employment to run the press For Barker When given a chnnce to go to work He went on a toot and then did shirk In his stomach you know a pain did lurk With Johnston SHU a great man hi begins to write For Barkers paner editorials blight He champions the cause of the Jigo sprite For Marker Por squibs aud poetry editorials fair Ue writes wih the grace of a millionaire To criticise those under Barkirs glare For Barker He prides himself on his knowledge profound Cau co e with aoy man the world around But Jay Hawk was destined 10 run aground With Bnrker This Jay Hawk mail is geat

Mr Heath did not care any thing about the competition of the Enterprise but was willing to help Bro Barker to let loose Cherry County can lay claim to some of the brightest and most orig inal cow punchers on earth The following poem written by one of our talented punchers and sent as a letter to one of his friends in this vil lage will prove the truth of- this as- sertion Dear Theres notbln doin out here now The bloomln winters come Cept pitchin bay the wnole day long Cause the range Is bare and glum Were naitin patiently for spring The rains the sun the grass And the roundln upof cattle We hope will come to pass It makes a life worth liviV When you gets up with the sua And know youve got to hustle Afore the day is done I long to hear the wrangler As he comes down yonder hill And see the horses rear aud snort X And then begin to mill When hes got em past the gate And well inside the pen The punchers come a runui n out Fm the Lunkhouse wher theyve been Then the sport commences When they each pick out their string And break their horses over As they have to do each spring I want to be there when Long Jim Steps In I will 1 hop- Cant vou see him shake tho duet And snarls out of his rope I love to see him throw his twine That California style He seldom misses when he does Hi i face is one broad smile The rope once wrapped around his wind The bronc will puff aud snort And try to snap the fragile tiling But comes up quick and short Youd think the emitters neck was broke Youd never guess twould bend But Jim just gives a sudden jerk And Mops him end for end Then the leather on his back - And Jim up in the seat He hides his heaa and hits the trail The thing tor Jim is meat I want to see all this again I wish you could be hero And enjoy these things with us The first in this new year Eemember me to all the boys Aid come when you get ready The invitations always good So long Your old pal Tkddv You may rant and you may roar And let people know youre sore Bro Barker But the fact will still remain That the people feel a pain When they hear your saJ refrain Bro Barker Jutt because you didut get To keep ILc county printlug yet Bro Barker Is no reason you should slur Tl o se who to j ou dont defer- -None would do it but a cur Bro Barker You e had ail the pie for years And nobody has shed tears Bro B rker Now you show your smallness quite When you take jour pen and write Aud tiy tu show that black is white Bro Barker We have got the county printing And sunshine on us is glutting Bro Barker So brace up and be a man You dont look well white and wan louve done ail the
