Swat the Money Germ
There's lots of talk now about
swatting the liy, and boiling the
water, and fumigation and sani
tation to prevent the spread of
contagious diseases.
But did you ever think how
dangerous currency and even sil
ver com might be? Your coins
and paper money usually pass
through a great many hands be
fore you get them. Whose hands?
Were they clean? You don't
have to auk these questions if you
deposit your funds in t lie bank
and when you go to spend any
thing write ti new, clean sanitnrj
check.

RICHLAND, OREGON. THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1917
UP TO THE VOTERS
The recall petitions against
Moasii'k and Ritter were filed last!
Thursday. Hach contained over i
2,000 names n. any more than
was necessary to put the issue on J
ballot at the special election on !
i
June 4th. !
i
Although the uen bad until
yesterday to hand in their resig-;
nations and thus save themselves
the ignominy of recall by vote, ,
neither took advantage of the;
opportunity, and we predict that,
the result at the polls on election'
day will he such that neither will
ever have the opiortunity of hold-.
ing any public office again. J
Ritter has offered no excuse)
for his sanction of the unbusiness
like, wasteful methods pursued
by the county court other than to
acknowledge that he voted just
as Messick dictate! We believe,
Hitter honest and all that, but he
is not the right kind of a man ti;
look after county affairs.
Messick, however, has evaded
the real issues, has refused to
answer hundreds of question:;
niiU-ml ISm In. v,M.-o . tl,m.rhnnti
the county, has deliberately tricdT
to mislead the public in many
wjiys by published statements in
his official mouthpiece, the Baker
Dorocrat, and as a last resort on
last Saturday brought suit for
libel against Robert Service am'
others, asking $30,000 damage
for "unlawfully and maliciously
conspiring to slander and defame
plaintiff and destroy his reputa
tion as a man and citizen and hi?
practice as a lawyer."
The purpose of this suit is
nothing more nor less than a
blind to gain sympathy and to
mislead voters. It has nothing
to do with the charges against
him for which his recall is asked,
and we predict the suit will never
be brought to trial.
MeSsick is smooth, in fact he
"slick and slippery," lind like the
slimy Oel will escape his just pun
ishment if there is a possible
crack to get out at. We believe,
however, that the voters of the
county have had enough of the
man who said "To h with the
Supreme Court," and will show
their disapproval of his regime
by their votes on Juno '1th.
