Alter all u said and dune public of-
Itciala are not entirely to blame for de-
falcation* and malfeasance in office.
''It it human to err" and people are
largely creatures of the circumstance*
which surround them. A healthy pub-
lic aentimeut will do much to restrain
criminal acts It is not all men who
are strong enough to withstand tempt-
ation and quasi public approval, much
less an inducement encouraged by
others. The public hat a responsibil-
ity in the discharge of public duties by
officials. They ahould be commeuded
for rendering an honest and efficient
service, an well as reproved for lainess
or indifference. Public appreciation
of duties honestly performed will have
much influence upon public officials
Win Cross, the would be delegate to
congress, returned from Watblngton
recently. In an interview on the way
he said that if the election committee
decided to aend for the mutilated bal
iota he would win out He was talk
ing for effect, as be knew they would
not aend for these ballots, and It would
have made no difference if they had
done so. An associate press from
Washington says: "It is understood
that the house election committee bag
reached an agreement in the case of
Cross vs MeUuire, from Oklahoma,
and that the decision will sustain Mc
Gnire on every point of the contest."
So it is good bye, Kill. May you con
tiiiue to hold your Job with the K. C.

Patriot, ilie Tribune >ioes not tear
nor hegita>e to l t its re rtern know
the facts, then le,tvu<f{ it to their judg
aient whether <>r not they want to mid
c!e an indebtedness of #50,000 to erect
a 'mildiiiK and 910.000 per annum to
maintain It just to help Lamont, as
no other portion of thi coun'y «• .u!d be
benefitted by it, for do other portio.i is
accessible. Grant county does not
need a high school other than those we
now have at Pond Creek and .Medford, 1
where att) child c n ob'a'ri the game
advantages tbey would g t in <> county j
high school. Remember thai the elec \
tlon is set for Feb. 23 '« vole upon he I
proposition. If by y nr negligence to I

permit the tales saddled upon you, !
don't compiain afterwards
The polic;. of oiu tnwu helping ;.n-'
ot her to plunder the public treasury >s
as objectionable as for citizen* to do so j
individually. It is n<> more right for a !
community to pilfer he treasury thau
an individual. Hence the appeal to
an> town to assist another to obtain
an advantage that the same may be re*
turned at some time when the other
wants something is not right. Each
and every measure should stand or fall
on its own merits. 11 worthy it should
be sustained, if not it should defeat-
ed. The policy of "you fickle me and
I will tickle you" is a vi-ry poor oue
when it comes to btirdeuing the peo
pie unnecessarily; hence we are not lu
favor of building a county high school
at Lamont at the present time. The
Patriot may lose a few subscribers
by not supporting the measure, but we
will gain two for every one lost by do-
ing our duty by the people.
Almost every issue of the Patriot
brings to ita editor favorable and uu
favorable comments upon It* contents.
Oue commends an Item and another
condeue it. We rather like these varl
ous expressions, as it furnishes evi
deuce to us that the Patriot is not
only read, but that lis contents are con
sldered It encourages us to come
again. We have no more hopes of
pleasiug all of our readers than we
have of converting the world to our
way of thinking. If there be items the
reader does not like, we sugpest that he
skip them and read those which please
him, remembering that some oue else
may like those he dislikes. We ara
not like some whom we know, who
make every effort to please. We write
what we think, whether or Dot it may
please; and while we would rather
learu of approval than disapproval,
we would prefer the latter than to not
have It noticed at all.
OUR EYES
Are the organs most liable to reuder
life a most miserable failure, a loath-
some burden Ix>ss of sight is the
king of terrors, while an impairment
of vision is a source of sickening n^n-
tal worry, to never say a word of the
acute physical anguish. There is
nothing that can stand more work
than a sound, healthy eye, but the day
that you feel that you are using an ef-
fort to see-then it is time to have the
eyes inspected. Parents, guard your
children's eyes, for the boy or girl
who has defective eyes, uses glasses
a few years "«hi1e acquiring an edu-
cation," are not apt to wear them
when the education is completed. My
business is rapidly increasing year by
year. I travel in one territory and am
the guardian of thousands ofeyes.
How arc your eyes? Are you seeking
more light when reading at night? Do
you have pains in or about the eyes?
Does the iight bother them? Have
you frontal or temple headaches? Do
objects look clear, then suddenly blur?
Are you holding your work further
away to enable you to see? Do little
specks appear before your eyes? All
these symptoms are indications of
eye strain

The public will be pleased to learn
that the Vidette dow Dot claim any
credit for the appointment of fercy
Simons aa attorney general. It la the
first the Vidette doe* not claim. Thorn
a* has bowled loug and loud for rec
ugnition in an official way for Grant
county. Now when It was given Thorn
a* did not even help so much « to
endorse a citizen of Pond Creek, la not
that consistency 1 Possibly Mr. 8i-
mona believed hla clfanoes better wltb-
ont Thomas' endorsement than with it.
The Vidette laat week tried to make It
appear that Gov. Ferguson falsified In
acting that the appointment was not a
political ona and that Thomas was not
even thought of whan It was mads.
Ths Governor sa'd that Mr 8imons
was endorsed by many citizens and the
leading Republicans of Grant county.
Had he said Republicans alone It might
have appeared political. Afterwards
Gov. Ferynson said that Thomas did
not even endorse Simons, which was
evident from a review of the papers.
There is no faiaehood or contradiction
as Thomas tries to make appear. Ha
most have written ths editorial while
on one of those periodical sprees occa-
sionally reported of hla.
