A GOOD SHERIFF IS WORTH KEEPING!
Perhaps the quietest election in many a season will
have sneaked up on voters come Nov. 8. The tew issues
involved are being about as enthusiastically discussed
as is what to do with last bunday s chicken bones.
In Jackson county, however, there's one candidate
who stands out by virtue of the lack of discussion. He
is the present sheriff, Syd I. Brown.
Sheriff Brown four years ago took over what once
was the county's most tempestuous task. Little has
been heard from his office, which is a good sign, tor
in politics no news is good news when it concerns an
incumbent.
While there has been an absolute lack of friction
in or about the sheriff’s office, Brown has been plug
ging along, handling the county s affairs in a most
effective and unassuming manner. In 1935—when he
took the office—county warrants were 19 months de
linquent and taxpayers were paying six per cent on
the paper. Now warrants are but seven months de
linquent, and the interest rate has been reduced to
four per cent. This progress in county finances has
largely been made possible through Sheriff Brown s
effectiveness in collecting delinquent taxes.
An unheralded service, the sheriff's tax department
has been doing much toward putting the county on a
cash basis.
Though little has been said during the interim,
the time has come to point out that Syd I. Brown has
been conspicuous for the smooth efficiency with which
he has managed his office. He leaves no doubt as to
his value to Jackson county as sheriff.
Sheriff Brown is one man we should retain in
office without hesitation. Voters know his worth.

AND NOW IT’S HITLER WHO’S TUNNELED
THE WHITE HOUSE!
The favorite fright of the American people this
fall, it seems, are the German bunds which the news
papers tell us have sprung up in this country.
There is little doubt but that much espionage takes
places under our noses, and subversive influences are
at work in some quarters. But the idea that good sub- i
stantial German people everywhere are plotting the
destruction of America over their steins is a lot of
pseudo-loyalty and silly flag-waving.
Of course, the idea of foreign-born or foreign-
blooded Americans gathering together to talk over
affairs of the old country is repugnant to those of us
who have no such background. We can’t understand
how anyone could be a good citizen and retain ties
and memories of their fatherland.
Maybe we’re wrong, but this little weekly—and it
is as 100 per cent American as the best damned native
who ever traced his ancestry—sort of suspects that
