The cigarette law has been declared valid by the supreme court W# learo the editor of this paper is denominated a kicker by an erstwhile friend. We trust it will not be neces sary in the future to Rive a practical demonstration of that fact in his case through these columns. The supreme court has given its deci sion that registers of deeds and county supervisors will have to be elected this fall. The republicans in this county have attended to their nominations in this regard, but our populist friends will have to attend to this matter by petition. Members of the county board of | supervisors are in town this weekrlook toward the re-convening of the board j to make a new levy for 1905, as it is understood the levy made in July is I illegal. It is understood a call will be issued, the board to meet between now ; and N'ov. 1st and a new lew made. Later- The board is called to meet Saturday to make the new levy. We this week give place in our col uwnsto an article from Mr. Gibson, over his own signature. Every man is entitled to the right of n hearing, and as Mr. Gibson has no organ of bis owr, \ we grant tim a bearing through the or gan of the party he is trying to disrupt. We desire to be lair, even more than! fair, to show Mr. Gib-on that the pa per is not owned, controlled nor bought! up by any faction, man nor set of men on earth, save only by the one whos name appears/ as editor at the herd of; these columns, whoever reporteth to tile contrary notwithst Hiding. The campaign is going on to tic eminent satisfaction of those interested in the Republican ticket. Especially is tins true of the county superinteudeucy'f Prof Mead has reason to feel especially good over the good will and evidence given day by day for his candidacy for that office. Such are the assurances, that he will no doubt be one of the leading ones elected, always allowing ’ that Sherift Williams will lead by the biggest majority. But then, all oi the Republican candidates will lie elected, and Republicanism will triumph easily over the opposition this fall In political affairs, we are old-fasli iongd enough to believe that ministers of the gospel should be chary of what they say or do. People of all shades of political opinion join in one congregi ti»n to hear the gospel of Christ in all its purity and simplicity, and when the minister develops into the politician on week days in favor of this man or that man of his congregation, it is not cal culated to uplift his hearers into a spir itual atmosphere, if any minister de sires to take exception to the thought herein expressed, we should be pleased to give him a place in our columns We understand Mr Gibson, as inde pendent candidate for county clerk, Rives it out solid lhat he will cary every township in the county. We always did admire nerve. But Georgie in this respect reminds us of the Dutchman’s bull. The little bull was somewhat breechy, and was eternaly breaking out of his pasture and getting in front of' parsing trains to the dieouifeiture of the owner until it got so tireseine the Dutctiman concluded the next time the ■ hull might save itself. One day not long after, Mr. Bull was seen head j down in front of an incoming train. j but ton late to save ttie inevitable, and as the forces came together the Teu t otic owner laconically remarked: “Go lit. you litte devil; I admire votir pin k, hut d—n your judgment.’’ v Ex-Gongressm.m .leirv Simpson, ' whose appellation of “SocXless Jerry"’ I Ins made him famous, lies at the point ^>f deith at Wichita. Kas. It was [some tw-nty ve-trs ago when we 11 et { mot Jerry Simpson, at his home i t ' ! dedicate Ladgc, Kas, where he was a well known terror to horse amt cattle j thieves and of evil doers generally, ye : <i kinder-hearted, more hosditable fel low was never met, nor one * hose hold on the people of that section was stronger, and from that day to this we ; have had a warm place in our affections : and an interest in Jerry Simpson that ] time cannot efface. Ridicule has had & great' run on this good man. but to1 those who know him best. Jerry Simp- j son wilt always be remembered as one of nature’s noblemen, and in this dav. while the doors of death are swinging <7pen to receive his noble spirit, sadness will 111! each heart. We render tribute to the great-hearted man today, as we al«avS have in the years past. Later—Jerry Simnson’s death occurred on Morning of this week. Peace to his ashes. Gibson's Pet Townships. It is given out by Gibson's strikers th»t bo is going to got the solid vote of Ashton, Oak Creek, Bristol itnd Scott i townships. These are his pet town- ' ships. For the taxpavers in these! townships he worked day and night to ! get their assessments reduced by the Countv Board. Remember these are I populist township-. Why should a j Republican County Clerk work so hard for populists? Clearly because he' wants their votes. This was simply' the trick of a politician- I)o the people who live m the nine other townships ever stop to think that if Gibson lowered tlie taxes in those four townships, he , thereby raised them in the other nine townships? If the taxpayers of the i four townships are going to vote for j him because lie lowered their taxes, the i taxpayers in the other townships ought i to vote against him t ecause lie raised [ 1 their taxes I am one of those fellows who believe | that a public oilleer ought Lot to have any pets, but to treat us all alike. IIo* - ■ ever, in as much as he insists on haying pets, let him ride into ollice on their votes if he can. The balance of the county will vote against him anil that will be nine townships against four What kind of principle have populists got if they will vote for » Republican because lie bribes them by an appeal to j their selfish interests When the vote of these four townships is counted, we ! shall know how many pops can be bought by a cheap trick 1 ie that which j Gibson has played. These pops are not j very smart if thev can’t see through j Gibson’s little trick. Do riiey really j think that Gib on has any pirticularl love for them? He simply wants their | votes But I’m thinking there are some ! honest voters in Ashton, Oak Creek Bristol and Scott townships who can't r be bought by Gibson. When Gibson j[ lowers the t iXes of dale Creek town- j ship twenty-five percent, lie makes the rest ot us pay so much more tax. flow ] is he going to get our votes? This is a 1 double edged sword, and will kill more j votes than it makes. The voters in 1 this countg are neither fools or knaves, and they have got to be one or tlieotli r before this trick ot Clerk Gibson’s can j win out Hide your pet townships. George, and | ride them hard, because you can’t catch ' any votes in the other townships, be -atise we all know that when one town- j ship pays less tax. the others must pay i more, and ue are the fellows tbat are paying more, ad through your little trick Tax Payer, Who don’t own land in George’s pet townships. Mr. Gibson Defends Hmself Mr. Editor: Will you allow me space \ to say that the article published and commented upon by you and copied from the Lincoln Evening News, should be taken literal as far as the letter from me is concerned and 1 stand on the record as being the proper thing, and only ask that people investigate and ascertain the facts which w ill prove my position to be correct as far as the facts go regarding the 1905 ad journment. The County Attorney was the legal advisor that caused the ad journment. and I afterward told him that if he thought chat the Board should re convene to again Dy the levy as he churned the Attorney General had told him could be done, that any time he j and the chairman so desired, i would j make a call, but he failed to instruct I me either pro or con. Just get the; whole facts, my friend, and you will i discover that all is O. K. and correct, and that the howl is to throw sand in j the people’s eyes Don’t be alarmed, your levy is legal and the people won’t ! be long in finding out tins new piece of ' chicanery.
