LIBRARY NOTES
It is for tho equalization of opportun
ities that the free public school and the
free public library stand All that
either can do is to give the opportunity
whether it is grasped rests with the
individual The public school extends
its work over only a small portion of the
life of the individual but the public
librarys work is never done Though
the function of the library is not meas
ured by the definite metes and bounds
of the more formal institutions of learn
ing it touches elbows with every organ
ized effort for betterment and culture
It is the most democratic of universities
and demands no entrance examination
or educational standard save the ability
and willingness to read
The library is well stocked with daily
and local papers and the best magazines
as well as a splendid line of historical
and reference work Most boys will be
interested in The Last of the Mohi
cans by Cooper an Indian story The
Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come by
Fox a Kentucky boys life in the moun
tains Harojd by Bulwer Lytton
and Gallagher by Richard Ilarding

The County Treasurershlp
Mr Editor I wish to say a word re
garding tho county troasurorship in the
coming primary election
Our four candidates for the nomina
tion are Mr Cochran of Bartley Mr
Naden of Danbury J A Wilcox and L
M Beardsleo of McCook all of whom
bear good reputations Our decision
must be right and we must choose the
man most fitted for this important office
Naturally the citizens of any town or
city would support thoir own candidate
more strongly than ono from another
town This beiny undoubtedly true
how can we in the east end of the county
under the new primary law expect to
nominate Mr Cochran or Mr Naden
when at least 75 per cent of the total vote
comes from the western end A vote
cast for either Mr Cochran or Mr
Naden would be a vote lost as the fight
is Burely between Mr Wilcox and Mr
Beardsleo one of whom will certainly
get the Republican nomination and it is
conceded by the business men of McCook
that the chances are largely in favor of
Mr Beardslee
It is generally believed that if Mr
Wilcox were elected the office would be
run by his son Mr E J Wilcox who
is now county clerk and has been for
three terms and it is thought by a
great many citizens of the county that
the Wilcox family has received their full
share of honor from tho voters of Red
Willow County and should step down
and out of tho office seeking arena
for a few years
The citizens doubtless remember that
Mr Beardslee made a first class deputy
under Treasurer Gossards first term
and for faithful services he received less
than fifty dollars per month and now I
think the voters would only bo doing
their duty to give him the nomination
for tho treasurership
Fellow voters let me ask you to give
this matter your most careful thought
and if you do I beliee you will go to
the primary Tuesday Sept 3rd and cast
your vote for I M Beardslee

Mr Matthews Wants to Know
Bartley Neb Aug 29 1907
To Clauence B Gray
County Commissioner
Does the statute mean one thing for
one man and another thing for another
party You decided hi my case where
I had erroneously paid into the county
treasury four dollars too much money
that tho statute made no provision
whereby you could pay it back You
kept it youve got it today
Now tho paltry sum of four dollars is
nothing to me but I most emphatically
enter my protest when the board of
county commissioners do not follow the
same process of -administration to all
parties if tue law was silent in my
claim so is it silent in Clarence Grays
claim Precedent cuts no ice Clarence
Gray has no more business with his
hands unlawfully in the county treasury
cupboard than any other man What
is sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander Cecil E Matthews
A Greedy Little Fish
Tho little fish known as millers
thumb the fresh water sculpin is one
of the natural checks on the overpro
duction of trout and salmon It eats
the eggs and the young fish It is
found in nearly all trout waters It
is very destructive At an experiment
once made in the aquarium of the
United States fish commission in Wash
ington a millers thumb about four and
one half inches long ate at a single
meal and all within a minute or two
twenty one little trout each from three
quarters of an inch to an inch in
length
