against the grain to pay for water by
the gallon with four fifths more OF water
than OF land, the miserable jewellers on
this round globe were not meant to be
scrimped with those exasperating
machines invented by some one who
hated humanity, to measure the water
they drink. b,the their children with
and sprinkle their lawns.
A city council exists for the purpose
OF meeting emergencies which the law
does not provide for as well as for ad
ministratiye purposes. 1t has been
found that the law does not quite Ell
able the officials to interfere with the
slot machines which are in session sum-
mer and winter and are educating in-
FAINT gamblers who will in time make
Lincoln rich field for the fraternity
which belongs TO the class. birds Of prey.
The council should frame an ordinance
strong and specific enough to destroy
these kindergarten gambling machines.
They are corrupting the youth. They
are more pernicious than the adult
games Of chance which run behind lock-
ed and watched doors. Habitues Of
these places are more or less vicious.
These layers know they are gambling.
but the children are fascinated by the
machines as by wonderful new game
which rewards a winner with the I'M
known riches OF dollar at time. The
appetite is acquired before time and ex-
perience has toughened the moral fibre
of the victims. The city fathers ought
To respond to the cry Of the women all
over this town to suppress the slot
machines.
Now, while there is majority OF
decent men in the council the city should
be redistric.ed. The ward boundaries
should be changed so that the members
from the first, second. third and seventh
wards representing one third Of the vot-
ing population Of Lincoln, will not con-
troll as they do now, by being
able to outvote members Of the
fourth. fifth and SIKH, who
represent two thirds of the voting
population. In other words, the small
wards should be enlarged by adding to
them some of the territory of the re-
spectacle wards. As it is now the saloon
wards have the power to tax the respect
able wards. although the former contain
only one third OF the population and
that third does not own more than one
sixth of the property and perhaps
not more than one tenth. Such
disproporii,n between numerical
strength and representative power
is analogous to the rotten borough
abuse in England which was corrected
several years ago. Representation
was based on area rather than on the
amount of population in that area. So
that there were instances of boroughs
containing only farmer or two, send
ing a repre- sentative To parliament and
per contra-denssly populated areas like
Sheffield being without a representative.
The wards in Lincoln were districted
more than twenty years ago, and in
those years changes have taken place
which in the east would require a hun
bred years to accomplish. These changes
have sh ed the population so that the
present boundaries work the injustice
e'erred to 10 the foregoing
