Quickly wears away
People sometimes dread to enter a bank ; this is
simply because they are not familiar with the cus
toms of business. But this feeling of embarrassment
quickly wears away with those who deal at this bank ;
at least we trv to have it so ; we want every customer
to feel easy and at home.

One William TlcCray
He Sidesteps His Mistakes.
It is not extraordinary for men of MeCrav's stamp to lay it on
the other fellow. The world has known such characters since the
time of Adam , and has despised them fully as long. Hereafter let
him be known as Adam McCray.
Very appropriately McCray uses the 'Journal as his medium of
slander and last week tried to sidestep the mistakes the Tribune
fastened upon him. lie says that no offer was made the county to
settle the Constatine bridge case for $1200 , but on the contrary says , j
"Kcavis came before the board and offered to settle for $4500 and
this was the only offer we could ever net out of these people. ' '
"We produce the following signed statement concerning this
settlement.
' 'I was attorney for the Constatines in their suits against the
county for injuries sustained in the collapsing of the Schulcnbcrg
bridge. 1 offered to settle Mrs. Constatine's case for $1200 and
made this oiler to McCray not ten hours before tlie case was tried.
Messrs. Ilinton , Xoellers and Bauer urged this settlement but 1
could get nothing from McCray but insults. It cost the county
more than $3000 to pay judgment , costs and attorney's fees. This
statement will be verified by the other members of the board. "
C. F. KKAVIS.
McCray was chairman of the bridge committee for at least a year
before this accident occurred. The Gilligan Co. had the annual
contract for building and repairing the county bridges. McCray
doesn't like the Gilligan company and refused , wherever possible , to
let it do any work. McCray says , concerning his knowledge of the
defective condition of the Schulenberg bridge. "As to the super
visors ever mentioning the condition of this bridge to me as stated ,
this is also a malicious falsehood. 1 never knew there was such a
bridge in existence. "
Adam was the chairman of the bridge committee and should
have known there was such a bridge. He was anxious enough to
throw all the blame on Chas. Santo , the supervisor from that dis
trict , after the trouble came. Santo , however , was not on the bridge
committee-
lie could order no bridges. The bridge committee , McCray
chairman , was the sole authority for ordering bridges. Santo tried
to get McCray to repair this bridge but McCray would rather ruin
the life of the poor German lady , who is a hopeless cripple through
his neglect , than to let the Gilligan Co. repair the bridge
"I hereby certify that I called McCray's attention to the dan
gerous character of the Schulenberg bridge many times and at least
six months before the Constantine accident , and he refused to do
anything about it. " CUAS. SANTO.
This attitude of McCray's towards a personal enemy cost the
county more than $3000 , and ruined the life of a poor German lady
who is the mother of seven small children.
The money part of it may appeal to McCray , but the suffering ,
the crippled condition of Mrs. Constantine will not lay very heavily
on his conscience. lie it was who- when John Ilinton was trying
to help a family without humiliating them and suggested that a
few dollars a week be set aside for their assistance , he it was who
protested with the statement , "Let them go to the poor house
where they belong.1'
But McCray says it wasn't my fault that the Rtilo bridge was
built off the road , John Ilutchtngs and John Gilligan did that.
Again does Adam say. "It was Eve who ate the apple. "
John Gilligan was not on the board and had absolutely nothing
to say where the bridges were to be located. The truth of the matter -
ter is that land had been purchased for this bridgn site that did not
suit McCray and he demanded that the bridge be put where he want
ed it or he would not consent to the erection of the bridge at all. lie
had the bridge built where he wanted it and it cost thu county
many hundreds of dollars to move it back on to the road and to
the place where the land had been bargained for in the first place.
McCray says it cost more to put the bridge when ; it should
have been in the first place than it should.
This is a poor excuse ; a man should have intelligence enough
to locate a bridge on the road. John Gilligan moved the bridge at
actual cost and did not make a penny on the work.
The old second hand bridge bought by McCray for the DuBois
bridge is the subject of his next defense.
lie does not deny that he purchased this bridge of a man who
was then and in now under indictment in Beatrice for fraud in bridge
work. He does not deny that he was compelled to admit before the
board that the bridge would be used by but two families.
He does not deny that there was a good bridge over the same
stream within half mile of the place where he was to build this.
What would you think of the business judgment of a man who
would want to spend more than a thousand dollars to put another
steel bridge across the Ncmaha south of Falls City or across the
Muddy west of Stella on a half section line ?
His defense is a Mr. Gardiner , an employee of the Gilli an Co. ,
snid the metal was all right.
Mr. Gardiner is an experienced man. It was he who called at
tention to the fact that McCray had bought old second hand mater
ial that had been used somewhere else and unloaded it on this county
to help McCray get even with his enemies.
"I hereby certify that I never said to anybody that the DuBois
bridge was all right and a good bridge. On the contrary I said and
still say that the steel is old , rust eaten and second hand , and would
be unsafe no matter how carefully erected. " A. F. GAKJMNUK.
This old junk is still in the court house yard where it may be
seen by any body interested. This deal alone cost the county $800
and this money was spent because McCray had it in for the Gilligan
Company.
Mr. McCray says some very harsh things about John A. Crook
for which he tries to hold Mr. Gilligan responsible. Again does
the fine hand of Adam show itself. Mr. Gilligan authorises us to
say that when McCray states that he ever said Mr.Crook"lleeced him
out of SlTOOO'Mif is telling what is untrue. Even now a criminal
libel suit is being prepared and the truth of this statement will be
made public.
But McCray says that the Gilligan Co. instituted and paid the
expenses of the suit to contest his seat several years ago.
Ah , there's the rub.
For sometime we have wondered why McCray had it in for the
Bridge Co. Nobody who knew him ever believed him sincere in his
pretentious. Everybody was wondering about his motive , and now
we have it.
The Tribune cares nothing about his fight with the Gilligan
Co. , however. We have troubles of our own. But in the interest
of good government , as one who hdps pay the taxes of this county ,
we do hope that the voters of William McCray's district will send a
representative who will not squander thousands of dollars of the
peoples money in an effort to play even with his personal enemies.

The republicans are not asking
much this year but the character
of the candidates indicate very
clearly that the party i s very
earnest in asking for the little
that it is. It is to be regreted
that we have no candidates for
several of the ofliccs , but it is a
source for congratulation that
our candidates are all so eminent
ly fitted for the positions to which
they aspire.
Secretary Taft is making a hit
with the Japs , but his young son
made a greater hit with Ameri
cans when he enlisted a lot of Jap
kids and had a ball game on the
palace lawn last Sundaj. Of
course , the young American was
run off the lawn by some pig
tail policemen and got a Jacking
up from hie father , but he's all
right with his constituents over
here just the same.
