The editor of the Deer Creek
Anchor has been made manager of
the ball team in his town. Its a
pretty nice job, Brother Pickett
but—its good bye, velvet.
Mr. Chairman: In view of the
fact that Manchester is making a
special elTort to clean up and look
respectable, and that vour honor-
able board of trustees is using its
influence and even its authority to
this end, I move you. that the city
hall be painted.
Editor Thomas, of the Jefferson
Review, “roasts” some unknown
lady for trying to flirt with him.
Says she passed the office in a car-
riage, smiled sweetly and waved her
hand—all at him. The horrid thing.
To roast a lady for just trying to
flirt with him. Or was it because
she "passed” the office, and didn’t
stop?
Anson Lindheck, editor and
part owner of the Medford Star,
has taken unto h’mself a wife. In
his write-up of the affair (which, by
the way, is one of the nicest
pieces of “word slinging” we have
seen recently) Anson refers to the
bride as having “the misfortune to
link her distinies with those of the
editor of the Star,” and while we
can easily appreciate the fine sense
of modesty shown by Mr. Lindbeck,
we can assure him that the news-
paper boys of the county in nowise
consider the bride unfortunate.
Our sincere hope is that she may
prove worthy of the prize she has
drawn, and our knowledge of Mr.
I.indbeck’s fine judgement leaves us
little room to doubt that he made a
wise choice. May all of life be worth
living, and should heavens richest
blessings be strewn ajl about your
pathway you will have received none
more than your share.

To Anxious Inquirer—the lar-
gest paper ever published in Harper
county, and many people have pre-
served copies as the best ever pub-
lished, was the silver anniversary
edition of the Republican, twenty-
four pages the size of this, printed
in October, 190(3.—Anthony Re
publican. Yes, the writer thought
about that last week when the
Bulletin announced that its twenty-
page edition (which, by the way,
was a splendid one) was the largest
paper ever published in Harper
county. \\ e well remember the
edition Mr. Blackburn speaks of in
the foregoing item. The Repub-
lican had advertised for a printer
and we got there just in time to
help get out that edition.
Back in good old enlightened
Pennsylvania a nigger killed a
policeman, who was trying to arrest
him, and was burned to .death on
the cot on which he was taken from
the hospital, and from which he was
unable to rise. This was done by
the God-fearing, brotherly-love
Quakers. At Durant, in this state,
a nigger assaulted the woman who
had just given him food, accomplish-
ed his foul purpose in the presence
of the . woman’s helpless children,
and as he left the house he fired a
shot which resulted, a few days
later, in the woman’s death. This
nigger was followed by a posse, who
brought him back to the scene of
his crime, and there was another
bon fire. Fortunately for him, the
posse couldn’t take the nigger alive,
and only his mangled corpse was
laid on the pyre and offered up in
the flames. One lynching in the
south, one in the staid north. It
begins to look as though the feeling
for the negro in the north is being
destroyed by his own atrocious acts,
and when that is accomplished,
where will he find his friends? His
crimes in the southland have lost
him whatever small chance he
might have ever had there, and now
he is turning upon his benefactors.
And not every state can boast of a
Lee Cruce, who will risk the con
demnation of a whole state in order
to give a nigger a square deal, and
thus encourage the race to better
things.

About the neatest piece of coun-
try job printing we have been per-
mitted to pass judgment on in
many years came to this office the
first of the week. It is the year
book,so to speak, of the Kansas
State Editorial Association, giving
the proceedings of the nineteenth
annual session of that body. The
book also gives brief talks on timely
subjects, as made by members of
the association, and is interspersed
with halftones of the retiring officers
and the officers elect. The job
throughout is a model of perfection,
and will stand for years a monument
to the painstaking, untiring accur-
acy of Mr. Blackburn, who compiled
the book, and his Anthony Repub-
lican, where the work of printing
and binding was done.
It is reported in holy writ that
Christ entered the temple and drove
the money changers out. That was
many years ago, no doubt, but
would he not have done the same
thing if he had happened to be at
the Anthony Fair last week? The
churches at that place were con-
verted into hotels, serving regular
It is just a bit early to pass
judgment on the Anthony fair.
Some of our exchanges have come
out strong with the declaration that
the fair this year was the greatest
fake ever perpetrated in Harper
county. We are so nearly of the
same opinion that we cannot dis-
pute them, although we do not feel
like corroborating their statement.
As to the airship proposition, there
is a possibility that the fair assoc-
iation intended to have the machine
at Anthony, but it is much more
probable that they did not. The
races were about like all country
fair races. A man on the “inside”
could easily make enough money to
run him a year or two, provided he
could find the necessary suckers.
I riday’s 2:17 pace, however, was
just a bit more raw than usual.
Helios was booked to win, according
to the men who claimed to know.
A horse named Fred Tayor dis-
tanced everything in the first heat
and was promptly disqualified. In
the third heat Helios was left with
daylight between him and another
horse when they entered the home
stretch. That other horse had to
be pulled down to such a pace that
when he went under the wire he
was almost in a walk. He was
driven out through the gate with-
No, it it not a case of merely sit-
ting around and waiting for the
news—and the money—to roll in.
The newspaper man has many other
duties. He must be able to write a
poem, discuss the tariff, umpire a
ball game, (and even play a little if
he can keep his fingers out of the
way) fill a three dollar space with
the report of a cheap wedding, saw
wood, mow the lawn, describe a
fire so that the reader will instinct-
ively shed his garments, make a
dollar do the work of ten, make ten
printers do the work of one, abuse
the liquor habit, give expert judg-
ment on different brands of whiskey,
subscribe to charity, go without his
dinner, give a two-column write-up
o some fellows business and then
give him ten copies of the paper to
send to his friends, fight desperately
for the farmers free list bill, defend
protective tariff, let the fellow who
owes him wait till he gets ready to
pay and take a cussin’ if he doesn’t
pay his own bills promptly, overlook
scandal, minister to the afflicted,
heal the disgruntled, set type, mould
opinion, sweep the office, praise
other people’s freckled-faced, half-
witted kids, say a colt kicked John
Jinks and gave him that black eye,
or have one of our own if we told
the truth, say John Doe is visiting
rich friends in the east when he is
known to be hiding from the sheriff
just over in the next state, and
otherwise make himself useful to
the community. If you don't see
what you want, ask for it.
