EditorAki.im It your last issue there^are two or three letters from citizens of^the county asking lor information about^the proceedings of the board of county^commissioners. Now, Mr. Editor, I be*^ieve in straight forward statements over^the signatures of the writers in matters of^real importance. It is not necessary, of^course, for an author to sign his name to a^trivial ^squib,^ bstt when a contributor^writes of serious things I think it due to^the editor of the publication that the^writer should father the article. First,^allow me to state that I did not write the^somewhat racy editorial in the Democrat^refering to the champagne supper given to^the board of county commissioners. I^think Mr. Shafer writes his own editorials^I conceive of no reason why he should not.^With this preface, 1 shall speak of the^medical contract only^the drug depart^mentdoes not concern me.
Referringto Mrs. Monahan and Ltndsey's^rharity work, I desire to say that I have^not at any time required thei.- assistance^in my professional work at the county^hospital or elsewhere. If they voluntarily^treated rases^and I am informed that^they have received pay from thecounty^it^is not the tsult of the county physician.
