Desires a Telephone Franchise
By reference to the proceedings of the city council appearing
elsewhere in this issue it will appear that the Bartley Telephone
Co is again an applicant for a franchise to run its lines into our
city It is the purpose of the company to connect its lines over
the county with the county court house and at most at present to
have a booth down town for its patrons and it is stated that they
do not contemplate at this time to establish an exchange here
This telephone line would make it possible for many Red Willow
county people to have connection with the county court house and
its affairs The Tribune believes that the franchise should be grant
ed and hopes the council will so determine at its meeting next Mon
day evening

What You Want
The Way You Want It
And When You Want It
The annual spring election was bold
Tuesday and it developed into one of
the most hotly contested elections held
in the city for years and the largest vote
ever polled in the city was gotten out
oyer 700 being cust which resulted in
the election of the straight republican
ticket which was headed by Ed Huber
for mayor He won out by some fifty
majority One of the big bones of con
tention was the electing of two members
for the school board This contest was
brought about largely by the action of
the graduating class of 1910 who walked
out of school a few weeks ago because
they could not run it and from what
your correspondent oan learn was wholly
unwarranted on their part It is quite
apparent that a few of the class had
the swell head and thought they were
smarter than the school board and the
principal of the schools McCook prides
herself on having one of the best public
schools in the state thousands of dollars
0
have been expended in bring them up to
their present state of proficiency The
board of education have always been
untiring in their efforts spending much
valuable time and energy to secure the
best teachers possible and the school
to day is headed by one of the brightest
men in the state
In the years to come these same stud
ents will look back upon their action as
one of the most foolhardy of their lives
as they alone will be the loosers As
they go out to battle with the stern
realities of a cold relentless world they
will find that a good education is one of
the best friends they have got and to
throw away the Bplendid opportunities
which the schools of McCook affords
will be a mistake not easy to overcome
They will no doubt find that the fairest
rose grows on the tbornest bush and to
pluck it they will no doubt meet with
Beveral briers The election of E H
Doan and H E Culbertson by the de
cisive majorities they received as mem
bers of the board is a complete vindi
cation of the board and the principal of
the stand they took in the late difficulty
and is a sound rebuke to those who
thought they were the whole thing in
the matter of the schools Indianola
Reporter
The above article appears in the In
dianola Reporter of April 7th A sheet
claiming to be Democratic and coming
among us to teach us the principles of
Democracy as taught byjefferscn end
in later days by Bryan
Democrats of McCook how do you
like this an article stronger in the de
fense of entrenched monopoly in our
beautiful little city thin either of our
papers in town would print
This being our first attempt with a
democratic ticket in city aff irs and
with the aid of a portion of the progres
sive Republicans of the town being able
to come so nea to a victory in the face
of the combined oppositions against us
we feel somewhat encouraged Not
withstanding a few Democrats for per
sonal gain saw fit to make a strenuous
fight on the head of our ticket but for
the only sheet iD the county posing as
Democratic to deliver such a tirade on
our honest efforts for reform cant help
but rankle in the heart of any trup
Democrat anywhere in this county
should he be called upon to in any way
aid the above paper as being Democratic
Now a3 to that portion of the above
article pertaining to our schools and the
late lamented class of 1910 Permit me
to first say that this trouble is the prop
erty of and belongs entirely to this city
and school district and what the end
will be no one knows but we firmly be
lieve that the people here are fully able
to care for themselves in this matter
without the aid of outside papers and
any one wishing to air their grievances
be they either real or imaginary should
do so at home
As to the writer of the above article
the best that can be said of or for them
is that they graduated from our school
but their life since has not been one that
would entitle them to the position of
advisor for your children or mine
Having made a complete failure of life
and no longer commanding the respect
of the better class of McCook nor of
his own political party When he speaks
of the male members of the class of 1910
as swell heads and smartaleoks from
the people of McCook he deserves and
gets nothing but contempt
It is well known here the kind and
character of these children in question
and where they are today and the ef
forts they are putting forth to yet
achieve greater things and be better
fitted for lifes work I venture the
prediction that time will reveal the fact
that any one or all of this class will
come nearer gathering the rose from the
thorny bush than ever the writer of the
above article does
Now in conclusion let me say that the
above article detestable as it is would
have been beneath my notice only for
the slur and reflection cast on these
young that deserve better things and
for my part I shall try to see that not
only these youngsters in question but
that the young of McCook get a square
