MONOPOLY OF BRAINS.
TIlC AriUS Insinuates That Supporters
of the SctlOOl Bonds Were Poverty
Stricken and Brainless.
The vote would seem to indicate
that the most of the property holders i
and thinking men of the north ward ;
were opposed to the proposition before
them. On the side of the bonds there
was much organized and outspoken
work. Against the bonds there was
no organized effort. Yet. rejecting the
vote of the women, the vote was very ,
evenly divided Webster County Argus.
l!y just what process of mental
gynasties the Argus arrives at the
above conclusion is beyond our com ,
prehension. The Australian ballot is
secret, and no one issupposcd to know
how his neighbor voted. If their own
woid is to be believed, many ladies in
the north ward voted against the
bonds, yet that ward gave a inajoiity
of 07 for the proposition. The almost
unanimous vote for the bonds in the
south ward needs no analysis. If it
is true the majority of the property
owners and "'thinkers" in the north
ward voted against the bonds, then it
is a blessing there were not more of
them. However, we are inclined to
the belief that the opponents of the i
bonds had no inonopaly of either the'
brains or property in this city, and it
will take something more than the
Argus' statement to make us believe
the supporter of the bonds were not i
financially interested and that they
were incapable of judging rightly on
the bond proposition. For our own
part, we are proud to be classed with
the poverty-stricken ami brainless.

Why Property Owners Should Vote fer
a Nov Court House.
On the court house bond question
the voters of (he county ought not ti
he misled by any local prejudice foe
or against lied Cloud. This is a seri
ous question and should be given
serious consideration by every prop
erty owner in the county.
No one denies, and no one can deny,
the fact that this county needs a new
court house. Seventy-live thousand
dollars will be suflicicut. to build a
court house only one-half as large as
the court house at Hebron, in Thayer
county. The county eommissioners
should have submitted a proposition
for an issue of one hundred thousand
dollars, and then this county would
have been able to have erected a build
ing that would compare favorably
with the court houses in adjoining
counties. Hut with the proceeds of
the seventy-live thousand, if judicious
ly expended, the county can build a
court, house that will last for seventy
live years.
Do you owners of real estate whose
titles are based on court proceedings
realize that if the records of those
proceedings, now stored in pigeon
holes in the tumble-down vaults of
the present court house, were to be
destroyed by lire endless litigation to
determine the title to your land might
and probably would result'.'
Do you know that no sheriff's, exec
utor's, administrator's or guardian's
deed to real estate is worth the paper
it is written on unless backed up by
the the records and (lies of the court,
from which the deed is issued?
If these records should be lost, how
would you protect your title?
Sujtr.o you nie the owinr ol -
farm sold under a mortgage foreclos
ure. You have n sheriff's deed to your
land. A summons was served on the
original owner of the land and a sher
iff's sale had. You bought the land
at the sherilV's sale. You have been
resting for years on the assurance
that you have a good title. Suppose
that some day the old hulk now brand
ed as a court house should be destroyed
by lire. lOycry record in it would he
obliterated. The original owner of
your land could then claim it, and
how would you prove your title? Your
sherilV's deed would be. worthless.
Do you property owners know that
about one-half of the cost of the new
court house would he for safety vaults
in which to house the records of your
titles?
Consider the matter even from u
I sellish standpoint and you can not
help but come to the conclusion that
there is but one safe course, ami that
ls to l'm'1 " "wuoiirt House and place
the records of your property In vaults
wbere neither lire nor the elements
can destroy them.
