Hoiv the fyon does Hoar '
Did you hear the Lyon roar ? Most
men can bo gentlemen until there is
.some provocation when they burst forth
and their true worth for morally good
conduct and refinement is no longer a
question to anyone but a settled fact as
to where they stand and how. The
Saint ? who poses as a writer of cute
things , the enlightenment of the uuman
race and a benefactor , who would con
vert items from the minds of others ,
into conditions for his own use and thus
steal the glory that he is unable to earn
reminds one of the old time picture of
some uneducated person having a pho
tograph taken of himself with a book
in his hand. The same tendency to
crowd yourself into a place where you
cannot hope to go in reality bespeaks
itself and but for the injustice in the
case of the man who would copy the
writings of others or change a word and
claim the whole article , there is a simi
larity. We do not have any compunc
tion in twisting the tail af such a Lyon
that when he roars he may awaken him
self and also that the people may see
the vileness and filthy language that
ilows from him. Unlike a swill bar
rel which 'may be emptied and made
clean by the outpouring of filth this Lyon
appears to be rotten to the core and a
generator of filth which at times burst
forth to overflowing without the usual
roar and again like a swill barrel there's
-a little leaking all the time which per
meates the general atmosphere sur
rounding it and by its stench is known.
* IQave 'the Lyon's tail another yank
'and hear him roar.
There.is. alwayssome one trying to
pound you down if you are a good fel
low but that some one is one of those
envious ( big feeling and wonders why
people dont take to 'em ) sort of fel
lows , the kind , that would buy himself
a nickels worth of candy or peanuts
every day while down town and go
Lome at night and kick because his
wife wanted a new hat or a kitchen ap
ron or his boy , a pencil and a tablet.
Giv6 us the whole souled fellow who is
willing to divide even his last half dol
lar with his friends or get what his
family needed without a grumble or a
snarl and a howl about it for six weeks
afterward , in prefere nee to one of these
gimlet souled individuals that haven't
enough orignality nor good feeling for
fellow men , to ever get thoroughly con
verted at a mourners bench , and will go
stumbling into eternity witha wail which
betokens his life on earth and remem
bered for his selfishness and greed.
Oue more yank at the Lyon's tail.
It is always better to drive on good
roads and avoid the temptation of
driving near a precipice to see whether
a clear babbling brook was flowing be
low or a stagnant pool of filth. We
some times feel like exploring our sur
roundings but do not like to raise the
lid of a swill barrel it we know it be
fore hand and think that a community
has much to do with the keeping back
alleys clean and polishing the hoops on
an old swill barrel to make it present
able since it's in the community. But
it takes a lot of scrubbing.
Now JSoar.
Wliy doesn't the old aap head say
something without borrowing words ,
phrases , whole sentences and oft times
the whole article except perhaps' a
word to make it sound original ? Why
not come to the front with your slang
and swill put your brand on it you
are stuck on yoursejt , your language
and the swill. Just swab your patrons
with it a while and you wopt have to
wear out engines , nor yourself turning
the crank to grind out papers for the in
to read , nor will they be falling over
themselves to tell you what cute things
you can write ?
There is too much talk of fighting' '
among ourselves. Stop it boys and get
together. What's the use of scrapping
over nothing and thus assist the repub
lican party to elect Savage again for
Isn't Irl R. Ilicks , the old hypocrite ,
dead yet ?

In the interest of the tax payers of
Cherry County we will state that the
charge made by the Republican last
week against the commissioners tvas
false , misleading and only intended to
prejudice the people against the honor
able board. The claims of $324.50
spoke of were allowed by the clerk of
the district court. The 545.95 allowed
