WANTED A MATTRESS.
A Murder Might Have Been
Avoided.

Avoided.
According to the county attor-
ney, Bart Dewitt, had the late Mrs.
Polonia Herrera given her husband
and murderer, Manuel Herrera, a
mattress, she would probably
have been alive today. She was
murdered on the night Of June LIST,
on Losoya street, and her murderer
is now fugitive. On the preced-
ing Wednesday the quarrelsome
couple called in the morning on
Mr.. Dewitt, she to place her hus.
band under a peace bond, he to dis
sua de her from doing so.
After consulting with Mr.. De-
Witt that gentleman advised
them to either make up or that
Manuel should GO away for a time
until separation had healed the
wounds OF conjugal felicity. Her.
rera was willing but said he want
ed a mattress. She had one and if
she would give it him he would
go away. She refused and pursued
her efforts at securing a peace bond,
saying he had threatened to kill
her. They then left and Mr..
Dewitt began preparing the peace
bond, but heard no more Of them
until the TERRI ole tragedy of the
GLOWING Saturday night.

THE SUNDAY Law
To Be Fought to a Finish By the
Clubs,

10 be touSht Co Finish By the
Clubs.
NEW ORLEANS, June l5.-Tbe
granu ] ry are now at work again
on the Sunday law examinations,
relative 10 the social clubs who
have liquid dispensaries attached
to their apartments.
1t is also pretty well understood
in this connection that the Grand
lnQuisitors are in much doubt as
to whom the Indictment should be
returned against in these instances.
The barkeeper is merely a paid
servant of the club; the president
is an elective officer, who is placed
at the head of the institution to
preside at the meetings of the
board OF directors, but it is the lat
ter who really dictate the policy of
the club and the manner in which
its business should be con-
Quoted.
This places the Inquisitors in
position accurately described by
the statement they are between
Mephistopheles and the fathomless
ocean. 1t has been the custom to
arrest the proprietor of the estab-
lishment violating the Sunday law,
and in such cases the barkeepers
have escaped all responsibility.
The clubs, as it is stated, realiz,
ing the awkward position of the
powers that be, have magnamious-
ly agreed to suffer martyrdom in
order that the veXatious question
can be definitely determined. In
other words a test case will be
made.
This is always a certain way of
determining the equity or constitu-
tionality Of law, and, as only a
$50 fine will be assessed in the first
case, a second offense will be COM
mitted in order that a $500 fine may
be paid for the glory Of ascertaining
whether the clubs are amena5le
60 the laws under Act Is of 1886.
The barkeeper in one club will be
indicted and the president of an
other will go through the same
routine. They will plead guilty,
pay their fine, then repeat the VIC
lation and be fined again. Then
the real war will be inaugurated
and an appeal will be made.
Thus the war will be carried into
the camp Of the prosecution and it
will devolve upon the State to show
who the proper person may be who
is culpable under the law and
whether or not a club is exempt
from the provision of the acts of
the General Assembly for the same
offense which is committed by a
corner grocery man and who is
made to pay a fine.
1t is the desire of the Grand Jury
to make no discrimination in favor
Of one to the detriment of another
hence the fight will prove a most
Interesting one from start to finish.

There are thirteen judgments
against the city that amount to
1914 ,SS0.22. One or more addition
al judgments are held up, amount
ing to about $1,000 more.
In addition to the judgments
there are, in the shape OF past due
debts, over $50 600.
1t will bs impossible to meet
thes' Judgments out OF the reve-
nue. from taxes, and if not provided
for, the courts can enforce the col
lection by compelling the Council
to levy special tax on each judg-
ment.
The fact that not ono dollar of
these judgments accrued during
the present ad administration, cuts no
especial figure in the controversy
The fact that all this accumulated
debt and more, too, came down as
a legacy to the Paschal admins
tration. does not alter the matter.
The city not only owes these sums 8,
bat has the judgments hanging
over it that can be enforced.
1t will occur to everyone that Mr..
Callaghan suggested a bond issue
to catch up with current indebted
ness, hut the people voted it down,
the opinion being uppermost that a
new administration must handle
the debt question.
The late Mayor Paschal en-
deavored to tide over affairs and
avoid a bond issue, and in lieu
thereof submitted a negotiable note
proposition, which the people
voted. This $240,0OO loan, it was
decided, could only issue as part OF
the bonded debt. Mayor Paschal
concluded to let it go. The effort OF
Mayor Callaghan, then the effort OF
Mayor Paschal to lift the incubus
Of debt from the shoulders OF the
city, and give time for recovery
through its revenues, brings us
down logically to the present pro-
position; more so, because the day
of settlement Is at hand.
Our taxpayers cannot afford to
vote against this bond issue; 1t
would bring financial crisis upon
our city that must be avoided.
Partisanship should not figure in
this election, as the defeat Of the
proposition would bring no fruits
to the victors.
Neither should it appear as a
trial political trip Of the present
city administration to be Wanted
over as an evidence Of its popular
standing with the people. Is. A,

Now that the Drummer's con-

The sewer contract binds the
contractor (whoever he is) to place
the streets on which sewers are
laid in as good condition after the
trenches are dug, as they were be-
fore.
Perhaps this part of the sewer
contract Is mere buncombe; at
any rate no attention is paid to it
by the contractor (whOever he is)
or the city inspectors (whoever
they are.)
Beautifully macademized streets
have been torn up, sewer pipes laid
therein, and the loose dirt filled in
simply to stop up the ditch. That's
all!
Along every street thus Quilted
is q ridge, from our twelve to twenty
inches high, leaving the impress
sion on an observers mind that
some great battle has been fought,
with the slain hurriedly buried in
one long trench, la Waterloo.
Outside of the artistic[? beauty
of these long ridges, like one long
newly made grave, there is moth
ing beautiful in them.
OF course some humble taxpayer
driving the old family rig home
wards about dark, may break a
spring or twist the axle OF his mod
est family carriage, or perchance
break his own neck, but this is
nothing worth kicking about.
His family might sue the city
authorities for damages, but are
they to blame? They will shove it
of onto the city inspectors
or the contractor, (whoever he is.)
Then, where do the contractors
numerous agents and superintend-
ents come in?
The poor taxpayers widow and
orphaned children will have shut
fled off this mortal coil long before
they ever discover who is RESPONSE
BILE for the damages done for an
unnecessary taking Of life.
But seriously, this sewer matter
ought to be Strengthened out. We
want to know who is building the
sewers.
We want to know why the
streets are not left in passable con-
dition also, why the council does
not investigate complaints made
by citizens as to defective work
done on the sewers.
This Is more important than the
issuing of bonds, and we want these
questions answered before the vote
is had on the bond issue.

THE INCoMe-Thx DECISION.
The Arrogance and Jhsolence Of Piutoc-

The Arrogance and Jh'olence of Piutoc-
rscy.
The income-tax decision Of the Su-
preme court is one more step in the
direction of our growing American plu-
tocracy. The great struggle between
plutocracy and democracy is now on,
and the battle is being fercely waged.
A majority of the leading politicians
and the rich fashionable churches
backed by the military and the courts,
are arrayed on the side Of the money
power, and while this decision goes far
to protect and build up the greatest
menace to liberty, Of ancient or modern
times, it will prove at the same time
the entering wedge which will destroy
plutocracy.
1t has grown arrogant and insolent
II has thrown off all disguise, and from
this on the issue is clearly defined.
The question Is, shall those who pro
duce the wealth of this nation enjoy
the fruits of their labor, or must the!
toll in poverty while the favored few
absorb their earnings.
Plutocracy has forced this issue, ant
is fastening to swift destruction, ant
all the courts in the land cannot checl
the rising tide.

But men. especiallv western men

But men, especially western men
become possessed of new ideas every
DAY as to how to get the best of their
fellow men in the race Of life and
these same boomers lined up at the
edge OF the Kickapoo reservation to-
day only to find out that they were
fooled again and beaten in the art of
getting lands and homes from Uncle
Sam.
On this occasion nothing was done
ny the government to protect the
honest settler, There was no patrol
IN existence either on or about the
lands to keep out sOonerS and the
result was that the public lands in
the kickapoo country have been not
only settled but thickly populated
ever since last Sunday. These pre-
mature settlers are usually men with
out character; they are either adven-
turers who hope to sell their pretend
ed right to the honest settlers for
cash, or men who are too cowardly to
take an even chance with their fellow
mar in the race for homes. They are
men who Skulk around in the brush
like thieves in the night to take advan-
tage of other men.
To be truthful, the country or the
land thrown open to settlement is
hardly worth fighting for as the good
lands have either been allotted to the
Indians or reserved for school purposes
but these are times calculated to
make men without homes desperate
and they will fight and risk their lives
in quarrel for a piece of land that
they would not have agreed to live on
If they got it for nothing and with
out trouble ten years ago. Then again
under the conditions of the treaty
with the Indians and the law govern
ing school lands the 20 or % per cent
Of the land occupied by "home-
steaders" must bear the burden of
taxes for all of it and this will serve
to Keep the country backward for at
least twenty years. A few towns will
be built in the reservation just opened
for settlement but it is not expected
that they will amount to much as the
lands will be attached to the sur.
rounding counties and not form a
county by itself. From this fact nc
prominent men from Oklahoma OF
other states have settled within the
triangle, there being no inducement
in politics or leadership for them a.
, there would be if the land constituted
county itself.
, The Indians watched the race il
? their usual stOlid manner. 1t was t,
them, apparently, an invasion int
e their little barbariC and savage king
l dom bringing with it all the innOva
e tion of civilization, which is distaste

e ize that the white man will bull
