In viewing the political field Boss Scouten but simply looks into a re flecting surface.

Having a sense of de corum which is beyond the compre hension of its assailant, the News Item has ever declined to follow Scouten's indecent examples. His re fusal to allow the flag to float from his yellow journal building forms a fitting crown to a long list of enor mities. —The success of NELSON COX for Sheriff means an honest, trustworthy man to fill that very important office, lie is eminently qualified for the place, for the very reason that the convention that nominated him did not have to select a candidate from three or four seeking the nomina tion. lie was selected from the rank and tile of the county for his merit and qualifications. Show your good patriotism by electing such men to office—those not seeking the office, but the office seeking them a 11. (Jet together gentlemen. —AII attachment was issued last week against John (i. Scouten for contempt of court and a hearing was had before Judge Dunham 011 Tues day. It seems that an injunction had been issued against Scouten to restrain him from building a barn close to the dwelling house of Lucas Steafather, in Lopez, and Steafather claimed that Scouten bad violated t ie injunction by going 011 with the building after the injunction was issued. Scouten testified that lu had not gone 011 with the building in the manner which Steafather complained. Judge Dunham refus ed to hold him for contempt. The equity case will be heard 011 Satur day. Steafather, in his paper book, claims that Scouten's barn will be within less than three feet from his house at the foundation, this would makefile two roofs about connect. —Scouten's Herald last week asks, "Do you want a clean man or a ma chine man for Associate Judge," and then has the audacity to add, "vote for James J. Walsh." Let the peo plt- of Sullivan county decide be tween the two candidates for Associ ate Judge as to which is the machine candidate, in this as everything else Scouten is inconsistent, and ex tremely so. 111 the same issue he says that John I), lteeser is not a Republican because he would not vote as Chairman Vincent wanted him to vote, and that Vincent is the machine, etc., etc. The genuine machine candidate is J. J. Walsh, and Scouten is the "ma chine" by which lie got his nomina tion. Why did Scouten give him the nomination over such repre sentative men of Sullivan county as Ralph Litzelman and Anthony Hohy? Was it because he was a better qualified man ? Was it be cause he has more ability to do the business? Was it because he had more honesty? Was it because he had more friends ? Or was it be cause lie was "Scouten's man." St. John Protestant Episcopal church. 18th Sunday alter Trinity. Color for alteram! vestments, (jrecn. The Rev. Otlio Brant, I). I).

The newspapers of our surround ing counties are publishing reports that Sullivan county has not enough teachers to open its schools this fall. The cause is due to the wrong course our School Hoards are pursuing which will make us sutt'er In life later on. They are permitting our eoni petentjteachers with permanent State certificates and years of experience and learning, go out of the county and far away from home to teach school, much to the displeasure of the teachers, and are hiring boys to till these vacancies because they can secure them for twenty-live dollars per month to open and close the school room and keep up ttres. This poor management in school work should solicit from the taxpayers a little interest at least on their part in the educational work of their c«,unty. They ought to make great er demands from the School Hoards. For the future welfare of our county depends entirely upon the character and abilities of our boys and girls w ho are now in the school room. S. H. BlDl.ack. Notice.
