The Republican last week exhibited
a greater 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 for a roast
But more at home tvitb in and toabt
Whilo of his grearness he will ldast
Of Johnston
He rtns the Kepubiioan hoV cpTnpljte
-The writing and jottings w ith roasts so neat

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 dirt you 2an
