The most Important county execu
tive office to be filled by the votes of
the people this fall Is that of sheriff.
It Is Important for two reasons. First
the sheriff is, according to section
1042 of the laws of this state, "(he
chief executive officer and conserva
tor of. the peace of the county." The
sa in o Bectton of the statute imposes
upon him tho further duties of
(1) To arrest all persons who
break the peace, or attempt to break
It, and u 1 1 persona K'HIty of public
Offenses;
(2) To defend his county against
those who, by riot or otherwise,
danger the public peace or safety
(3) To execute the process and
orders of tho courts of Justice or of
judicial officers;
(4) To execute all warrants de
livered to him by other public officers;
(5) To attend the terms of court
held within his county and obey Its
lawful orders or directions.
In the second plane the office Ir
important because the sheriff, by the
provisions of law Is made the tax
collector of tho county from which
be is elected. Tho business of giv
ing an economical administration in
the matter of tax collecting and the
intricate bookkeeping that attends It
Ib no small one. It requires a faith
ful, Industrious officer to do the work.
The people want their books kept
well, both in respect to honesty and
efficiency.
In the two years that George Qtilne
has been In office he has rendered
such an account of tho trust Impos
ed In him by tho people who elected
him. He has conducted his steward
ship well; he has beeu faithful to
very duty of his office; he has not
broken faith with the oath of his of
fice. -
Tho finger bl suspicion has never
been pointed at a slnglo official act
of Sheriff Qui no. He has done his
duly, not out of a spirit of malice or
prejudice, but because It was his duty
and he had pledged his faith to do so.
Ho has never wavered or faltered. He
has been both fearless and bold In hi
efforts to enforco the luws of this
state. No matter whether the law
violator was a man of high standing
and Influence In the community or
the weary bubo, the outcast of so
ciety, Sheriff Quine knew no distinc
tion. He has not been the sheriff
of any particular group of citizens;
ho has served all the citizens of the
county.
Hits tnx books. Involving the care
ful and accurate handling nf thous
ands of dollars of the people's money,
are balanced to tho penny and every
Item of money he has ever received
lias been accounted for. There is no
Hhortage to explain to the taxpayers
there is no surplus to make entries
for afterwards.
Such is the record of George Qulne
who Is seeking, at the hands of the
voters, re-election to this doubly im
portant office of sheriff. Because be
has done his duty, because he has
been faithful to the oatb of bis of
flee, a bitter campaign quiet and
underhanded Is being waged against
him by a group of men who are not
now never have been and 'never
will be half so honorable, half so big,
as men, as George Quine always has
been.
If the people cf this county wan
a man in the sheriff's offlco who will
Impartially conduct the office in th
Interests of the people alone, if they
want a man in that office who will
give a clean business administration
If they want a man who regards the
spirit as well as the letter of the law,
they should cast their vote for George
Quine, for sheriff of Douglas county,
for one good term deserves another.

It's a pity or good fortune, as
the viewpoint may be that Wood
row Wilson wasn't old enough to
have been an aide to hia Illustrious
fellow Virginian Robert H. Lee, in
holding off the Inevitable finish of
the rebellion, As a strategist per
haps we should say dodger, but that'B
vulgar Woodrow certainly takes the
cake hut that's vulgar too. . When
apparently pinned In a corner and.no
escape skunked they call it at
checkers and an answer is demand
ed on some vital political Issue, be
wriggles away somehow, drags the
remains of a poor old Jersey boss out
of the political morgue, and waltzes
around with the corpse until the spec
tators have forgotten all about what
they intended to ask him.
He visits the Northwest, and the !
farmers who have heard of his state
ments In Pennsylvania that "the
farmer needs no proection," expect
some explanation or declaration that
will either repudiate or emphasize a
principle bo omnlous for American
agriculture. He treats them to a
talk on trusts and strait-jackets,
which would soon reduce anyone try
ing to make sense of it into a fit sub
ject for the latter method of res
traint. He Is shown by his own published
writings to have compared American
workers with Chinese, to the advant
age of the Chinamen, and to have de
nounced immigrants from Europe as
"the coarse crew coming in at East
ern ports. He is also shown in a
published address to have denounced
union labor as filling the country
with unprofitable servants," and
making economic disaster Inevitable.
Of course, he cannot deny these pub
lished statements, so he circulates re
ports that he has been "misinterpret
ed." Perhaps this means that he is
about to publish a Woodrow Wilson
dictionary giving new meanings to
the English language.
And now comes one Park, a form
er Princeton college chum of Wilson,
and says that Wilson has expressed
himself as opposed to education for
the "working classes," and that tho
hildreti of working people ought to
be trained to do "the dirty work of
the world." Ah! Meres Wilson's
chance for a stralghtout denial. This
wasn't said In point. It's safe, there
fore, to give the lie direct, and not
talk about being "misrepresented."
So he denies absolutely, with much
Indignation and so forth, and evldnet-
ly hopes that the smoke thus raised
will make people forget the things he
annot deny, and that are fully ns bad
a what Park recalls of their talks hn-
fore Woodrow abandoned academic
groves for tho political platform.
Wilson's dodging won't save him
op his cause. He can't dodge the bal
lot box. His strategy will have to
halt at the polls, and the reelection
of President Taft will show him that,
after all, a straight course Is the best
course, and that the American people
are not so easily fooled as he thinks
by his Ingenious If undignified role,
as the Artful Dodger of polities.

Having had many inquiries for Gas Stoves and Ranges, we have
finally accepted agency, for which we think is the best obtainable, in
the ACORN.
Gas is THE fuel for home use, and especially so in the kitchen.
With wood or coal, you require more room
With wood or coal, you must wait sometime before securing re
quisite heat.
With wood or coal, you loose time taken to keep stove supplied
with fuel.
With wood or coal, you have a constant variation of heat.
With wood or coal, you cannot be gone very long op fire is out.
With w ood or coal, it is dust and dirt and smoke from time fuel
is brought in until ashes are carried out. ,
Do any of those objections apply to gas?
And cheapness is in favor of gas, if properly used, for it can be
wasted as well as wood or coal.
Come in and look over our "Special" series of gas ranges, and
you can be easily shown where economy lies.
Look at cut in upper left hand corner, note that there is no stoop
ing or lifting while using ovens. Note how easily things can be
kept clean and neat aoout it, even to the floor.
