Graham had any political sagacity
he would do this community a
like service. Everybody knows that as
long as well known gamblers loaf
around the city they are living by
their chosen avOcatiOn or on Others

The gamblers who have infested
Lincoln are especially active i'm the
winter time when the schools i'm and
about Lincoln are full Of young men
They have ''cappers' on the streets
and around the hauntsOf the students
and induce them to patrOnize the
games. II has come to the knowledge
of THECoURIER that these 'cappers,

dent trade i'm Lincoln. are frequent
ly themselves students, degener-
ate, but Of gentlemanly appear
ance and manners. BY stories
of what they themselves have made
their victims are induced to hazard
and lose all. There is no reason why
Lincoln should be thus infected and
run the risk of losing one of the prin-
cipal agents of prosperity. In New
York and Chicago gambling is hunted
from one place To another. 1t is not
entirely suppressed. but prosecuting
attorneys i'm large cities know their
place too well to permit the law to be
broken with immunity.
&
1t is probably true that gambling is
conducted with some secrecy i'm this
city. Yet that poker rooms are run
ming is well known. Thissecrecy is i'm
some respects worse than open gamb-
ling. The publicity of the thing acts
in a measure as restraint upon some
desiring to play. Immunity from in
reference and assured secrecy pro-
notes gambling in large degree.

i'm this case, means desire and will

enough to last slender frame year,
Miss Pound has shown that she pos
seSseS. For months before she left for
Chicago, her time was occupied by
teaching in the state university. She
had very little opportunity for prac-
tice and as a matter of fact her only
preparation was a few games with
Mr.. Geisthardt on the G street court
two or three weeks before leaving for
Chicago. The Chicago papers call
her playing cyclOnic. Without grace,
without any drawing room reserve,
she leapt about the Chicago court and
won the game by sheer quickness and
strength. The papers criticised her
form (Of playingl they said it was not
scientific or pretty, or like anything
that players are accustomed to admire
as technique. But she won and for
her staunch grit she ought to be re-
ceived with the hOnOrs that are be-

from defeat and shares it with his
birthplace. When she comes back to
Lincoln she should be met by triumph

everybody who knows that an ath-
letic victory of the kind won by Miss
Pound means intellect and high cOur-

most triumphant vehicle at hand

citizens who, since the first Olympiad,

Miss Pounds mental suppleness
is also remarkable. The mass
of knowledge which she assimi-

make appropriate material for
the early life of Macaulay. She
is an assistant in English at the uni

1t is gratifying to THE COURIER
and to all decent people to receive the
assurance of the city authorities and
County Attorney Munger that the
gamblers Of the city have kindly con-
sented to suspend operations for the
present. But the assurance does not
carry conviction. Mr.. Munger's guard

to say the least, irritating. In it, he
again takes the untenable position
''that il the officials brought . proper
complaint before him. with evidence
enough TO make out case, it would

good a lawyer not to know that this
excuse will not do. 1t is the special
business and duty of prosecutor to
hunt up the testimony to secure the
conviction Of criminals.

Already there are Ominous signs of
the coming political reprisal. The sem
satiOnal sermon of DIR. Hindman on
last Sunday will doubtless be followed
by Others. Every newspaper in the
city is demanding an enforcement of
the law. Nearly every family circle
is discussing the evasion of duty by
our officials. These lead to but one
result. the overthrow of the party
considered responsible. The over
throw of the republican party i'm this
city and county would practically give
the pOpulist party renewed lease of
life. The leaders of the republican
party are ignoring plain opportunity
which will not long continue or soon
return.

MID-MIssOURI ENTERPRISE.
A Strong Company Organized to De-
velop Agate, Coal and Cement
Mines,

COLUMBIA, Mo, March 24.-Mayor
M. G. Quinn returned from Lacrosse,
Wis, to-day, where he completed the
organization of the Mid Missouri Min
ing Company, and was elected secre-
tary and treasurer. The company will
develop an agate mine in Wyoming
and coal and cement quarries in Boone
county. The total capitalization of
the company is 100000 OF the stock
$1,000, enough to get the company in
working order, was at once paid up.
The Henry mine, near Browns Sta
tion, has been bought and will at once
be developed. About 1000 acres of
coal land have been leased and 800
acres bought. The proposed extern
sion OF the wabash branch to the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas Railroad was
also discussed by Mayor Quinn and
the Wisconsin capitalists, who are
backing the mining venture.
Propositions were made to the Blair
syndicate, who own a road from Han
nibal to Perry, to extend this to Gen.
tralia and then complete the connec-
ton from Columbia to the river. r.
B. Price, the owner Of the Wabash
branch, agreed to sell one-half the
branch road on reasonable terms and
then furnish one half the capital for
the extension to the river. The Blair
syndicate now has the matter under
consideration.
