WOULD RAISE SALARIES
OF CERTAIN OFFICERS
Dan Barnes of Lake spent Tues
day in our city and called at our
office for a chat. Dan is trying
t3 get the people interested in a
bill to raise the salary of county
attorney to a price that will in
duce the best attorneys to accept
the office , and to raise the price
for county commissioners to $5.00
per day and traveling expenses so
our best men will be induced to do
the work. Dan thinks it would
be money well spent and the stock
men would gladly pay their share
of a § 2,000 salary for a good
county attorney who could secure
a conviction of a cattle thief rath
er than have the good attorney on
the other side aid the thief to
go free. We are inclined to be
lieve that Dan is right and that a
good attorney should receive the
highest salary of any of our coun
ty officers rather than the meanest
salary and bear the odium of hav
ing nothing to do but look wise
and dismiss cases or permit them
to go by default for want of ability
to cope with superior talent. Our
commonwealth ought to be better
able to pay for good services than
the rogues who menace our stock
men and pilfer here and there.
THE DEMOCKAT says clean up the
country and put these rogues to
work. They are better in the
pen than at large if they won't
I !
I v/ork. If you see a man or set of
II I
I men constantly idle and making
' 1
no effort to find work they'll bear
watching and should be taken as
vagrants for the peace and safety
of our citizens who earn their
bread. Dan is right in his ideas
and we could have done worse
than to elect him county com
missioner. Come to the front
good people and think this matter
over intelligently. There's com
mon sense in it. When party
lines are thrown aside and people
use their God given horse s nse
they will see where they have
blundered in the past by following
foolish customs and stampede
ideas of all going together , or just
because some one else said it was
the popular thing to do. Get a
thinking.
A special term of court was
held Tuesday by Judge Westover
in which several confirmations of

Anna Ashburn and Hazel Grah
am are at home sick with mumps
this wees.
Hilda Green has been out of
school part of this week on ac
count of sickness.
Miss Carlson's seventh grade
pupils are doing some excellent
work in making geography scrap
books.
Agnes Taylor writes to her folks
that she is enjoying her teaching
at Kennedy very much. She also
writes that she has a very pleasant
boarding place.
Judging from the little college
paper which comes weekly to our
desk , the Wesleyan students and
alumni' are having a strenuous
fight over a proposed change in
college colors.
Geo. Hornby sent us this week
a cloth bound copy of the Chicago
Daily News almanac. The book
is full of useful information con
cerning Geography , History and
Civil Government.
Ethel Sherman called last Sat
urday for a brief talk about her
school work. She had taught one
week and seemed well pleased
with her work. Miss Sherman
has always shown special interest
in small children and we prophesy
she will make a good teacher.
TRY AGAIN.
The dew was sparkling on the grass ,
While the rainbow its colors cast ;
The little birds did chip and sing.
While the cock laid down his wing" .
The ants were bosy at their work ,
While the little bees did never shirk ;
The spider spun his web with might ,
But not to fail he tried it thrice.
I thot once more of the da3 that's
past ,
How I had tried to do some task :
But all m3T ambition was in vain ,
l < \ > r I had never tried again.
