To Avoid Unkind Criticism
Say nothing
Be nothing
Do nothing
Fra Albertus
Is This the Law Now
Page 504 of the Nebraska 1909 statute says
Financial Statement The council or trustees shall cause
to be published semi annually a statement of the receipts of the
corporation and sources thereof and an itemized account of expen
ditures with a statement of the financial condition of the city or
village
If insurgency is O K in Washington why such a fine effort at
regularity and standpatisrn at home Consistency is still worth the
effort
Friend Pontius of the Indianola Reporter takes his cue with
more or less cleverness from Colonel Edgar Howard of the Colum
bus Telegram who advises using all the 12 inch guns on the
devouring and devastating corporations for political effect and
reserving the pea shooters for the liquor traffic P P is not a
booze fighter nor a fighter of booze but a Democrat The water
wagon is only a push cart with him not a paramount issue
No Strings This Time
There are happily no political strings on the voters of McCook
in the city election of next Tuesday Every voter is at liberty to
go into the election booth and mark his ballot according to the dic
tates of his own conscience independent of party affiliations with
out ring dictation aside from corporate influence The Tribune
hopes that every voter will take advantage of this opportunity to
vote for those men whom they believe will give McCook the cleanest
administration of its city affairs the best efforts at the enforcement
of its laws and ordinances Vote your honest sentiments without
fear or favor for a better McCook
A Campaign Humor
The humor of that shot at the Nebraska Telephone Co may
be better appreciated when we consider the presence of superb game
in plenty nearer home It is ever more difficult for the non resident
to return the salute But if the city council would look into this
rate matter and should find McCook unfairly dealt with by the tele
phone company in the matter of rates on top of indifferent service
to put the case mildly it would be clearly within their province to
give the people of McCook the just relief
Let The People Rule
The initiative and referendum law is an enlightened and prog
ressive measure which is fair just and American It gives the peo
ple the majority a direct public and above board manner of ex
pressing their approval or disapproval of a proposed measure It
provides for the rule of the majority on all questions effecting the
public It makes practical the recall of negligent or unworthy pub
lic officers The people can certainly be trusted as much as any
self seeking political coterie or organization This is proudly pro
claimed on the Fourth of July as a government by the people not
by nor for the privileged few and powerful Do the voters of Mc
Cook they can trust themselves their own honesty of purpose their
own sense of fairness and justice Do they believe in themselves
Do they think they know what they want what is best for them
It is an absolutely just and fair law Vote for the initiative and
referendum at next Tuesdays election

TEMPERANCE COLUMN
Conducted bv 0 pok W C T U
In one of his public talkg for a dry
town Chief Malone said thnt advocates
of the saloon had attacked him for nink
ing statements in regard to men being
thrown out of the saloons after saloon
man had got all their money The man
that attacked him on this point said
that while he was using such illustra
tions he should aho use one illustration
that he personally knew of That was
a case in which a man had become so
badly intoxicated in a saloon that he
could not walk The saloon man order
ed a hack He carried the victim of
the drink into the hack and shoved a 85
bill into his pocket so that he might pay
the hackman when he got home This
the saloon advocate thought was a
mark of graciousness on the part of the
saloon keeper that Malone snould not
overlook while he was pointing out his
evil qualities Mr MalGne decided per
haps he had been viewing only one side
of the character of saloon keepers He
decided to look into the case thinking
maybe he had better use this in his
talks Closer investigation he Baid re
vealed the fact that this drunken man
had been robbed of 150 in the saloon a
few minutes before he was placed in the
hack and sent home with a 85 bill
Malune was more than ever convinced
the incident should be usel in the ar
gument Lincoln Journal
