As the subject on which Mr.. Will
son writes in the Tribune this week
is dead, 1t is not worth while renew.
ing discussion about it, but some
things concerning the water fran
clllse might be put moro plainly than
he has done ii, for instance there is
nota word in the ordinance suggest
ing SS4 per year each, FOR Is hydrants
or vi 200. The only thing said about
the matter is, that the price shall be
limited to 1920 each or $I 800. And
for every additional mile of pipe laid
there shall be 10 additional hydrants
at the same rate as the others. Mr..
w. forgets to say that the village
was bound by this ordinance to
guarantee to the company reasonable
interest on all money invested, and |;
special tax WIS to be levied on all
property for that purpose, Another
matter Mr.. Wilson forgot. viz: If the
city put in the works itself it would
have the rent of all hydrants used by
hotels, barber shops, livery stables,
families, ETC., to pay the interest
with. Now suppose Mr.. Wilson
should estimate the cost to the
village at 500, 900 at 6 percentinstead
of $4,000 at 7 per cent, it is our
opinion he would be nearer to the
mark.

Sax On Stock Gambling.
EDITOR SUM-
1t appears that Senator WashbuYn
has introduced a bill in the Senate to
make option gambling or dealing in
futures on agricultural products,
which the dealer has not got or does
not expect to have, a crime, and that
he has publicly declared that if the
practice was prevented tie wheat
grower would receive twenty-five
cents more bushel for his wheat.
1t is very hard for me. with my
prejudice of so long standing, to be-
lieye that any good thing to the
farmers can come through, or by
Bill Washburn, but if he has intro
duced such bill and gives it his
honest support, will lie the last one
to look for ultelIor motives for such
action. and give hi m honest approba-
ton for having listened to the voice
Of the common people and performed
meritorious act. That dealing in
futures or buying and selling options
is gambling, pure and simple, no
reasonable man can for moment
deny, and ordinary gambling has the
reprobation Of all good citizens; and
the law against gambling has no or
position among respectable people.
Why then, should a law against
option gambling meet with such
opposition among The people who
call themselves the higher class? Is
it more genteel way of winning and
losing money than poker or betting
on the fastest horse? Or is it because
that in the course of the year the
option gamblers gather into their
hands the twenty-five cents a bushel
which their ncfarious business
causes the farmers to lose on their
wheat, and like per cent on, their
other products; and when
there is no outside party to pluck
they, like common gamblers, pro-
coed to divide among themselves, by
methods best known to themselves.
The whole United States, except
Louisiana. and nearly half of that
state, are moving heaven and earth to
suppress lottery gambling, which is
no doubt, crying evil and a capital
sin; but unlike option gambling, it
effects only the fool who bays the
ticket, while the whole farming class
is mulcted out of large amounts by
option gambling, while they them
selves keep utterly aloof from it.
1t would seem to me that the evil
was Of such magnitude that every
pulpit in the land would thunder
forth anatnemas, and every person
who loves right and hates wrong
would strengthen the hands Of those
who are trying to overthrow the
monster, no matter what were their
religion or politics.

AS Col. Stevens paper intimates.
the editor of THE Sun was treasurer
fer Stevens county for seven years.
During that time he performed the
duties of that office promptly honest
ly and accurately and felt, and still
feels, that it was no mean honor to
have been trusted by the good people
Of this whole county, md to have
been repeatedly reelected by them
to so Important place. And yet
because of this, and in spite of his
honest pride, this paper now calls
him some hard names. Strange,
isn't it? What a muddled thinking
apparatus the Col. must carry about
with him in order TO see things In
such crUss-grained light. 1t
is fatal for the Col. to lose
his temper, for then he falls into bad
language just as if it was natural
with him. 1t is silly of him to
think that by personal assaults Cd the
editor of the "official organ, -
he can draw the attention Of the
community from his bold attempt to
force an incubus upon them. But
that dog is dead, and the Tribune is
chief mOurner.

On Tuesday last we were favored
with ride in company with Post
master Randall to his Spring Lawn
Farm, behind his celebrated Ham BILE
tonian stallion Dan. It is needless
to say the grass didn't grow under
Dams feet on the way. 1t was the
first time We saw the farm since the
fine buildings were put upon it, and
we were surprised at the extensive
buildings, and the convenience Of
everything. The atock is good and
in fine condition, the granarIes are
still well flltd with the products of
last year. The beautiful spring from
which the farm derives its name,
furnishes full supply of water for
all tho stock. There are between
three and four hundred acres fall
plowed, and ready for the press drills
which will be pressed into service in
couple of months from now. Of
the many beautiful farms in Stevens
county this section is one of the
choicest.

Losing Your Head,

For many years after 1910 the
service of the English Church on
every recurring 30th day of January
was devoted to commemoration of
what was called the martyrdom of
Charles the First. Charles lost his
head, and England was ruled for
many years after by Oliver Cromwell,
because Charles Stuart would not
keep any promise made to his people
Other people have lost their heads
for the same reason. The phrase
losing your head" in these days has
not such a serious meaning as two
hundred and fifty years ago, but i'm
plies becoming confused, getting
ratified, so that mans head, as the
seat of his reasoning faculties, is of
no use to him. A good way to avoid
losing your head in the conduct of
your daily affairs is to do business
only with concerns that are reliable,
and conduct their affairs with system
and regularity. ANY promises they
make you can rely on. In the same
way, when you take journey, place
yourself in the hands of such first
class railroad as The Burlington, and
you lose neither your head, your con.
nections, your sleep, your baggage,
your time, nor your temper. For
rates, tickets timetables and any in
formation about this line. call on
your nearest ticket agent, or write
