HAHHELU'S vote A DISGRACE
Republicans of Denver county will
Join with the Hcinld wo are Buro in
condemning tho votu of J. V. liar-
reld congressman fiom tho fiftli dis-
trict to give Victor Dorger a seat In
Congress. Upon his flrBt election by
tho Pro-Huns of Milwaukee Dergcr
was leflised a seat in tho Congress of
the United Slates. Later he was tried
and convicted of violation of the
espionage law. Ho wni re-elected by
tho same hordo and Hnrrcld togeth-
er with only flvo others voted to seat
him Republicans or no republicans
we consider the vote of Hnrreld In
favor of an avowed enemy of our
country a disgrace and one which
every loyal citizen of Oklahoma Ue-
publlcan or Democrat should rcseut.

At ft recent meeting of tho hoard of

offer a standing reward of JGOU for the
npprchonsjou of any tar tliluf who luia
pilfered a .car belonging to a Howard

and Just. Tho niiioiint offered will
innko It worth while to approhuhd
crlmlnnlH of the horsethluf cIurh anil
tend to rendor tho undertaking more
hazardous. It will not entirely do away
with the stealing of earn but with a
1500 prlco hanging over a thluf'H bond
ns added IncHiitlve to IiIh capture ho
will likely give this section u wide
berth. There are too many car HioIvch
workliiK thlH county right now and that
their profitable plying of their trade In
to receive n little check Is encournjtlng.
Tho pooplu of the county will lie
mighty near unanimous In praising this
action of tlio tuiard of county commis-
sioners. l.tliural (Kansas) Nows.
Ab may be soon from tho ubov
Liberal nnd Soward county nro going
after car thieves In tho right way.
This may have a tendency to scaro
such thieves over this way wheru no
such drastic action has as yet been
taken. Look well to your car. It
wodldn't ho a had Idea for Heaver
county to take similar action. Why
not be prepared? it's better than
locking tho door after tho car Is
stolen.

LAST Tllt'HSII.VY
Work on the Habeas & Oklahoma
railroad fiom Llboiul to llugoion wus
onu'inm- utaru-u last Thursday aner-
iiooii. New VeafB day when the nlow
Kulded by Clias. Summers threw tho
(list dirt at the old grade HtuktH on
South (Jraut avenue. Just north of the
Hock Island road. The '.earn wus driven
liy Joe Fuest It u especially fitting
that these two men should be chosen
for the work as they are two of Seward
county's early settlors and most highly
OHtcomed citizens who have had a lilt go
sliarii In the development of the coun
ty.
W. II Feather ably presided as rnaH
tcr of ceremonies ami guve a short talk
on the futuro benefits from the rail-
road which ns usual with his Hiiecuhui
wus right to the point. Fred llycrs a
brotliur of O. I. Myers an attorney
from tho east talked on thu nioject of
extending the road to the southeast.
Air. Ityors Is encouraged with tho in-
suits of tlui efforts among the farmers
in that vicinity ami believes that In
time the project will go through ltev.
M. O. Wolfe rLsponded wllli a toust to
Llvcrnl teeing grtat things in tho fu
ture tho outcome or opening up a now
agricultural country and placing us
nearer tho roal fields. That It would bo
of great amdHtnuru In emergencies such
us llui rcecnt coal fniulno and shortage
of cars Was tho idea advanced by ltev.
Wolfe.
Tho starting of the road was accom-
panied by tho blowing of whistles over
thu city and a largo crowd witnessed
tho event. Apples were suplled for re-
freshments and a photographer was on
hand to tnko a plrtttru of the nlliclal be-
glnlng of I.iboral'3 second railroad.
Surveyors havo been nt work locating
tho direction which the road will take
out of tho city and tho promoters
promise that actual eroding will be bo-
gun this month. Tho puople of Iinra
county Colorado nro anxious for the
extension of the road through their
county which will undoubtedly be done
before a lone; spaco of tlmo has elapsed
Liberal (Kansas) News.
When shall this road "start work"
on tho extension to tho southeast to
Dcavor? Whoa does Deavcr say It
Bhall bo? Will wo go after It? The
Herald will supply the pt Inter's Ink
and it costs real money these days
too. We'll go tho limit otherwise
too What will you do?
Nouspapers are being constantly
harrasscd by tho Bhortago of print
paper nnd the over Increasing cost
or tho same duo to such alleged
shortage with Instructions from the
government to consene conserve
conserve This Is all very well but
It occurs to tho average publisher
that a whole lot more effective meth-
od of conservation would bo tho elim-
ination of tho scads of free publicity
matter with which every nowspapor
office Is flooded nnd which serves
no purpose whatever except to fill
up tho wnsto baskets tho Only good
coming out of It being Its use in
t'. 'o building these cold mornings.
Tho great bulk of this sort of "dopo"
Milieu reaches this pnd other offices.
Is mailed out by the different gov-
ernment departments however thoy
are not the only offenders. Dig nu-
tomoblle concorns tiro manufactur-
ers uiid others to say nothing of tho
space-grafting political shysters
swamp the malls with this purely ad'
vortlslng matter weakly camou-
flaged as "news matter" asking for
free publicity. Such concerns should
realize that they are only wasting
their time and money. Such "dope"
never gets fnrther than tho wa3te
basket in this office nor In any
other legitimate newspaper shop. It
takes real coin of the realm to pub-
lish a newspaper in these days of
the II. C. of L. and the spaco-graftejt.
Is going to find that out. Advertli-
lng spaco is tho newspaper's only
Btock In trado and it must bo sold
If tho publisher In to meet his ob-
ligations just as tho merchant the
butcher the baker and the candle-
stick maker sell their wares.
Docs tho government or tho poli-
tician ask the merchant for a sack
of flour the dealer for a pair of
shoes tho butcher for a lick juicy
steak or even the fountain man or
tho popcorn vender for n cold drink
or u confection? Not on your life
and If thoy did they would not get
It. Then why ask tho newspaper for
Its stock In trado Its advertising
space?
News Is "news matter" and tho av-
erage publisher recognizes It at a
glanco nnd is glnd to got it hut ad-
vertising matter camouflaged ns
"news matter" Is another proposi-
tion nnd is Just as quickly recognized
by tho live publisher and lands In
tho waste basket. The Herald wants
your news NEWS wo said all of
It and we want your advertising
matter also but thu latter at so much
per. That's the only way wo can
use It.

WHAT AXOTHER RAILROAD
WOULD MEAN TO REAVER
This paper has been pushing tho
proposition of another or other )
railroads for Heaver tho past feW
months In particular nnd for years
In general. Up to date our argu-j
ment has fallen upon deaf ears In
DuaVor for we have not been ublo
to learn of any activity along that i
line. Wo are glad to note by n
letter this week from a subscriber
In Wichita Kansas that our argu-
inents havo not gono entirely unread
and that one property owner In
Reaver nt least shares our belief
that wo should go after and secure
more rallroTula for Reaver. Per-
haps there nro others here In Heaver
and In tho surrounding teHllory who
ngrco with us In this particular but
they aro keeping mighty quiet. How
about It? What nro wo going to do?
Tho letter follows:
Wichita Knns. Jan. 12th 1920.
The Reaver Herald
Reaver Okln.
I notice that you are pushing tho
proposition to get ono or more rnll-
roado Into Reaver. Theeo aro dayB
when If we get anything wo must
go nfter it. Halli nails nro no longer
built without the ro-nperntlon of the
communities. A railroad Into Reav-
er would doublo the valno of every
city lot and it would add 110.00
per acre to every aero of land with-
in six miles of tho railroad and f B.OO
per aero to lands In five to ten miles'
of a railroad. With ono road built
others would como for you havo un-
tiHiinl ndvantnges a very rich coun-
try In every direction nnd you are
right on tho river where you have
ample water power for all sorts of
works you havo an unlimited supply
of pand In your city limits which is
worth thousands of dollars to any
city You are In the heart of tho
cattle region and ono of the best
farming countries ' nnywhero with
thousands of acres that would pro-
duce flno alfalfa. In fact you are
abundantly blecsed with natural re-
sources. All you lack Is transporta-
tion and more people and the people
would come with transportation.
We havo no Information ns to
what tho proposition is for Reaver
but we aro Interested in Denver lands
In that country. Wo own 100 acres
adjoining tho town and tnnd ready
to do our part toward? getting n
railroad.
Wichita today is the best town In
Kansas for tho renson that when the
town had but 100 population It got
busy and pulled tho railroad from
Augusta. Augusta Bald the road
could not miss coming there- but
1200000 worth of bonds which at
that tlmo was moro than tho totnl
valuation of all the property In
Wichita pulled the railroad and made
Wichita a city nnd left Augusta a
village.
Thoro will 1)0 enough new wealth
brought into Deavcr and Heaver
county by tho railroad to create
enough additional taxes to take caro
of any bond or donation that may be
made. We believe that your citi-
zens should get busy and not let
such an opportunity pass.
