I HE iNok l H W i t k N wUSfc.ISHBD EVERY FRIDAY at the COUNTY seat. UK». K. BEM.K'IKITI'R, Klllur ami Publisher TERMS:—#1.00 PER TEAR. IK PAID IS ADVANCE Ratered at the Loup City PostolTU-e for trail* mlasion through the mails as second claaa matter. For twenty years we have pub lished the cun 11v supervisor's pro. ceedings, column alter column, paie after page of them for nothing It has given us weeks and months of hard labor, and all for nothin r. And yet in the face of all this, stands out iu blue pencil mark, on the mar gin ot the sworn statement of our claim in the county claim register, the word, “taken for taxes ” (Jreat crowds greeted the presi dent as he went through Nebraska. At (Jrand Is! mu. Hastings, Lincoln and Omaha there was a surging mass of people on every side and cheer after chper went up when he appeared. At all of these places the president made a ringing speech and was loud in his praise of Neb raska and tier people. He paid a splendid tribute to the old soldiers at (Jrand Island and spoke in glow ing terms of the fine educational in stitutions of the state. The great crowds of school children at the various stations never failed to re ceive his special attention. His train made schedule lime at every point. _ . , , _ We noticed in some of our ex changes that in different counties ; throughout the state the county | commissioners or supervisors have been in the habit of paying the printer for publishing the proceed mgs of the county board. In Sher man county it never tins heeu done and the papers have always pub lished them at considerable cost to ^ the publisher and free of charge to, the county and as a matter of news, j While we realize that we are doing j u great deal of work for practically j n > pay, vet we believe that the pub lic should be kept posted on the do ings of the county board, and so the Northwestern will continue to print them, pay or no pay. How j long we shall feel like hantlling such | a large amount of work for simply ! the fun of the thing we do rot kuow. M C. Mu lick is the on ly applicant for a -aloon license in Sherman county that lias complied with the states law that re quire* that all notices for saloon license shall tie published in the paper wtlh the largest circulation in theoouiry and the j '1 i nes-lndependent claims to have the 1 irgest bonl tied circulation of any paper published in the county —Sherman County Times-Independent. How in the world the publisher of ■ the l’imes Independent can have the affronterv to publish such astutment 1 in the face of the fact is something that we cannot just see into. The Northwestern not only claims the largest circulation but actually has the largest, and any one interested in the matter can find t h is out by call ting at this office. To make it plain, *o that even the Times man can un derstand it, we will state that wc have, iu our possession a statement from the Western Newspaper Union, dated April (i, lDOfi.one of the Times’ ip statement* of prints which calls for a payment of only $2 4 8 for v'y tin weeks' shipment, ami at the rate of 13 cents per quire, the same as we pay the same bouse for tne K same size patent, he would be only ft receiving 19 quires of paper or a I t Ital circulation of 4.">i*. Now tbi ■ Noiituwestern is receiving just 22i ft quires of paper for which we pav jj|p2.92 cents per week. Of this we have about 15 copies which we sent out as samples each week, leav ing ss almost 22 quires, bonified circulation Deducting the sample copies we still have almost three quires more than toe Times. In it other words Brown’s circulation, samples and all (if he is sending samples) amount to just 45(1 while we have a circulation exclusive of HI JF samples, of 520. Now in conclusion we will sa. that we never would have made tl matter public but for this un warrant ed and untruthful statement contain ed in the above extract. We receiv< lb it rag, ami a iw fr .a tea ou a propose K» heal with the ■.>u* tit. wi !i gloves ou. We have let in »ny just such statements go by uuomiee, ,o keep from personalities, but then are times when forh ciruiice ecas-s to be a virtue, even in tin- punting business.
