“TIME TO CALL A HALT"
Under the above caption there
appeared in the New Era of last
week a lot of dope that would have
been highly amusing if it were not
for the fact & lady whojknows little
or nothing about the actual affairs
of the town must stand as its au-
thor yet we doubt very much if
she wrote it
The article was a lengthy de-
fense of the Rees apd O'Neal
contracts and how any one who is
not to profit by these contracts
can defend them knowing all the
facts in the case is more than we
can 'comprehend The consuma-
tion of these contracts as they
stand at the present and under the
present condition would cause the
grassto grow in the middle of
Broadway within a year We do
not believe that the New Era
wants that condition to come' about
and we cannot help buf think that
some one gave the lady that pre-
sides over the destinies of the New
Era bogus information
Last December when the city
voted the $9000000 bonds we did
so with the understanding that we
were to have a modern water sew-
er and light plant with money to
pay Mr Butler and all were not
to cost more than $85000 Now
the council for reasons best known
to themselves have attempted to
palm off on the people whose inter-
est they should guard a system
that is more fitted for Junction
City and in addition the bars are
left down so that it rests with the
council to make whatever addi-
tional expenditures they may see
fit and whatever price they and the
two contractors may decide is pro-
fitable to them
At that time v bad another railroad under
headway and that too waa having aomething M do
with the confidence people had In Waltera For
tome reeeon the railroad work waa etopped and
thoae aama men who are knocking on our city
improvement! were the flrat to knock on the rail-
road building and ware instrumental in having
the work (topped”
We hardly know whether to
consider the above paragraph the
prattling of a babe or consider it a
serious attempt to mislead the peo-
ple Every citizon who has kept
abreast with the public affairs Of
the town know without being told
that the men who are trying to
ram this bogus water and sewer
system down the throats of the
people are the very same men who
fell over themselves to give to Mr
Avery a man wit h plenty of gall and
brains but no mo ney their stock in
the K L & 0 railway thinking
that he could bcilld a railroad on
wind they are th e same men who
dictated the election of the direc-
tors of the Ind os trial company that
spent several thousand dollars of
the citizens n oney and for it have
the farms of several farmers dis-
ilgured So me of these same men
who are boosting the O'Neal and
Rees contract are “boring for oil”
in the noith part of town Some
of these same boosters and town
builders were advisors to the late
school board when they paid 21
per cent interest for money with
which to finish the school building
These few items are a partial re-
cord of the town builders who are
boosting for the sewer and water
contract We are glad we are a
knocker It might be well to turn
the affairs of the town over to half
dozen of the school boys they
could do no worse than the few who
have “built” the town during the
past eighteen months Personally
we think that when wise heads
try for eighteen months to
do something and failed on every
turn that it is time for them to
take a back seat and let some one
that doesn’t know anything take a
trial
"If the city council have made some errors in
the contract for the city improvements and you
think these errors can be adjusted go to them
like men and tell them so and we feel sure that
they will give your claims due consideration"
We would suggest that if the
lady is going to enlighten the peo-
ple on city affairs that she give
more time to posting herself on
these same affairs and less to pink
teas 'She evidently is not aware
220 citizens in a petition protest-
ed against this contract she is not
aware that a committe waited
upon the council and asked them
to correct the errors that had been
made For her benefit we will
state that these are facts
The New pra would have a
united town So wonld the Journ-
al But there is only one ground
upon which the town can be unit-
ed That is on the common ground
of honest and open dealing in the
conducting of public affairs The
time has come when we will no
longer have the affairs of the pub-
lic administered in secret for the
profit of special individuals and
special interest The people pay
the bills and they have a right to
be heard and have a right to know
how their money is being spent
When tbe time comes that the
public officials will trust the people
and will publish to the world what
has been done and vhat is to be
done then the time will come when
the people will trust the officials
If the town board wants the peo-
ple to trust them then they must
trust the people
It is up 'to the town board to
stop this fight They are the
agressors the people are only
fighting in defense of their homes
The battle will stop' when the
board so wills
We dislike very much to take
issue with a lady but we belive the
occasion demands it
GOVERNING CHILDREN BY
FEAR
How many “bogy men” lurk in
the vicin'ty of your home? Are
your children bajoled coerced
bribed and frightened by promised
hr threatened visitations from
these imaginary creatures? The
recurrence of each holiday it has
been observed affords fresh inspir-
ation for ingenious promises of- re-
ward or punishments to very good
or very bad children No mother
can give more convincing proof of
her own weakness and her own
ability to govern her children by
love and intelligence than by
resorting to these subterfuges and
the making of threats and promises
which are never fulfilled It does
not require a high degree of intell-
igence to know that the most im-
portant thing in human being is
that human being’s true courage
Self-reliance confidence in the
good intention of others freedom
from the fear that depresses the
heart and torments the nerves are
absolutely essential to the growth
and good health of a child
Why should a child fearthe dark-
ness more the light? Why should
there be an inodinate fear or dread
of strangers? Neither of these
exists without being prompted or
created by some threat
A few days ago a child was mis-
sing from his home in a little city
in an eastern state A score of
men dragged the river while others
searched throughout the adjoining
country At the end of the day
the boy six years old returned
home alone and asked whether the
"census man” had gone Some
one had told him that the census
man “carries away bad boys”
The little fellow had been guilty of
some fault an when he saw the
enumerator at the door he suppos-
ed his time had come ‘
- Millions of childien have been
made ill unhappy timid and in-
competent by the foolish threats
and false fears created by iheir
elders Sometimes these elders
Are nurses sometimes playmates
but they are too often the fathers
and mothers Stories of “ghosts”
of “black ' men" all the foolish
minds have terrified the children
of all generations
Make your children courageous
Given them confidence in them-
selves You believe in these qual-
ities You would not frigten a val-
uable dog or horse because you
realize that these animals must be
courageous— that their “spirit"
must notbe broken And yet you
flatter yourself that the child be-
ing more intelligent will not be
over-influenced or controlled by
these fears This thing which we
call intelligence is after all largely
a matter of training and education
We are educated to accord power
and reality to the unreal because
we are taught to believe lies are
the tfuth
Children are not inherently tim-
id But they learn to feel and ex-
press fear while very young be-
cause they are surrounded by an
atmosphere of fear We do not
inflict this burden upon our child-
ren because we do not love them
but because we fail to express this
love intelligently unselfishly and
sanely — Woman National Daily
WANTED-MEN
One of the greatest needs of to-
day in the world of politics is men
— men of character— men with
backbone — men who will stand for
right regardless of consequences
In every community there are
clean upright men those who are
above reproach— above price but
the difficulty is that men of this
stamp are slow to take active part
in the public affairs of the com-
munity in which they live If such
men were to band themselves to-
gether and take a firm stand for
purity in the affairs of government
it would not be long before the
boodler and grafter would be com-
pelled to take a back seat
The corrupt politician is ‘ not
alone to blame for the sad condi-
tion of things He attains his ends
by the direct connivance of men of
like character and because of the
indifference of the better element
The first man to Ikick and howl
about corrupt deals is generaly the
man who will not attend mass
meetings conventions primaries
etc
For fear of injuring his business
offending someone or of getting
mixed up in' some difficulty he
stays at home and attends to his
own affairs
‘‘His own affairs” indeed ! 1 !
Are not the public business mat-
ters of a community the affairs of
every man in it? Does not every
man prosper or suffer because of
the method of conducting public
business matters? Are not the
public matters the interests of all?
We ‘do not believe the rotten
saying that “every man has his
price” Good men are in the ma-
jority and if the men in Walters
who believe right had all been will-
ing to make sacrifices and stand
together Ithe affairs of the town
would not be in their present mud-
dled condition
Another week has passed and
still the city officials have not seen
fit to let the people know what has
been done with the money during
the Tast year Is it possible ' that
the citizens of this town must re
sort to mandamus suit in order to
know what has become of their
money We hope not' but trust
that the officials will publish to the
world what they have donei during
the past year
