We are not for Japan nor against
her ; We are not for Russia nor
against her. The American press
and people are rushing in with
their sympathy for Japan , all be
cause the moneyed men of the
United States and England wish it
to be that way. Poor dupes ! Why
don't they think for themselves in
stead of being tools to the selfish
and designing schemers ? There
are a few editors who have the
nerve and back bone to "stem the
tide" on the matter , among them
being editor Rice of THE VALEN
TINE DEMOCRAT , and that veteran
editor Gib Hunt of the SalixIa. ( )

Mr. Kinkaid will soon have been
in Congress two years. He has
not done even as much as secure a
postoffice for an old soldier in this
part of the district. He is there
fore having the newspaper boys
publish his 640 acre homestead
bill , which is practically what was
proposed by Ex-Congressman
Kem. He will soon have a re-
nomination on his hands is what's
the matter with Kinkaid. Why
didn't he have the bill passed dur
ing the past two years and then
ask for support on what he DID
do and not on what may be done ?
The statute of limitation applies to
Kinkaid. The people have been
thus fooled too often. Loup Co.
News.
The only thing that Kinkaid has
accomplished * was the opening of
the 5x10 mile extension strip in
Sheridan county. He would not
have accomplished even that had
it not been for Judge W. H. West-
over who was in constant com
munication with him , setting forth
the facts in the case , explaining
the circumstances , and instructing
him to proceed in the matter.
There is not much originality about
Kinkaid , yet he is the man whom
the small bore republican press of
this district lauded as a man with
brains and declared that before
his time the "Big Sixth" was nev
er properly represented in con
gress. Oh consistency ! Rush-
ville Recorder.

Chas. S. Lewis , an old acquaintance - j

the whereabouts of the other. We
grew to manhood together in the
little town of Randolph , Kan. , Mr.
Lewis living in the town and my
self about 5 miles north of town.

the John Ferstel fruit farm on the

miles south of town and will soon
return with his father's family to
occupy it this spring and where
they expect to make their future

and there are a lot of fruit trees
now bearing. Strawberries in
abundance have been furnished
our city for several years from
this farm and the berries are bet
ter than those shipped in and they
come to us fresh every morning
during the season. Vegetables
from this farm have been the town's
principal supply in the past. Mr.
Ferstel contemplates staying on
the farm this season , after which i
i
he may come to town to live after
t
helping Mr. Flineaux to get started
with his work.
