Governor Thomas got in another
whack at ProRers county last Saiur-
day by refusing to sell the state
lands to the Great Plains Water Com
pany. The principal sufferers by
this piece Of demagogy are the school
fund, which is loser just $4,000 by
the action, and the state, which i
losing every day on account of the
hostility being shown to those who
would invest money in the state. As
for Prowers county and the Great
Plains Company, they will be pros
pering when the peanut politicians,
who compose the land board, have

us In mind of man who stands be-
fore a mirror and carries on . confab
and fight with-himself.
However, several weeks ago. we
mentioned the fact that the saloon
laws we're being openly and
willfullv violated in this city in this,
that boys and DRINKS were allowed to
frequent the same and get drink.
For time the "kids" kept quiet and
everything went serene. The saloon
keepers sort of lived up 30 what little
law they possessed, but the hustle for
the almighty nickel and penny again
took possession of them and things
are at present rs bad as they were be-
fore. Now this does not apply to all
our saloonists but the exceptions are
very few. We have heard the remark
made that the city should be happy
to receive their $500 license fee and
should about let them do as they
please inasmuch as they are philan-
trophists enough to present 1t with
500 plunks. The majority OF the
saloon element here are under obliga-
tions to the city for giving them
license, which fact must not be for
gotten. There is. no other class Of
business which can openly violate the
laws rs many times day as can q
saloon and acts which would cost
other people q fortune and perhaps
several years In the "pen," are con-
doned with the healing balm Of $500
year.
Should the city do the proper thing,
It would take away the licenses Of
several OF the 'joints" and make their
bondsmen live up to their agreement.
This is sore spot which cannot be
passed. How many bondsmen on
liquor license bonds in this city can
consistently qualify ia the sum Of
q, 900 over and above their home
steads and liabilities? It would not
be bad idea to closely inspect some
of the bonds and Gull out the n. G.'s.
1t may save trouble (which no one
knows when 1t will occur. The city
is constantly increasing In popula-
tion and the increase is not ell of the
Sunday school order, consequently
something 10 liable to drop at any
moment.
The problem of fixing the city
charter to conform with tho laws of
common sense Is as yet unsettled.
While there is, probably, no chance
to condition the same to more
equitable state Of affairs, q little
agitation towards that end will not
be amiss. There is no remedy, we
are informed by local legal lights.
This is strange. There never was an
evil but what remedy was at hand
to combat the same. The $50
month attorneys salary is an evil
which must be combatted and the
sooner 1t is done the better it will be
for the city. Tower and other cities
have abolished the attorneys Office
from salary basis and employ whom
soever they wish at so much per. The
city clerk and the treasurer should
receive pay for what they do. The
amount the attorney receives for
what he does not do, divided among
these two officers would be consistent.
The office could be let out on bids to
be advertised for, the same as other
work In the city is let, Then some Of

prise should know by this time that
the newspaper fraternity is the most
magnificent chump In existence.
Had its greed to scoop" some nnfor-
tunate contemporary not existed, the
county would today be paying the
same as other poor mortals pay for
their printing and the fraternity
would have been benefited to the
textent of several dollars. Tie COM
missioners are not at fault. They
considered the lower bid. and there is
where the chump comes In. There
should have been no low bids but q
legitimate bid on the work to be done.
The plucking was done by the frster-
nifty. Let them stand the consequent
ces. Make the "scoopers" put up q
bond for the faithful performance of
the work. Merchants have their
price; legislators have their price. but
printers never have the price and will
not until they learn to conduct bust
ness for business and not for spite.
It now behooves the Duluth Herald
to come out and state the amount
they have saved the poor innocent
taxpayer whom they fleeced hereto
fore for all he was worth.
II the reports concerning the blast
ing accident at the Pioneer this after
noon are true, and we have no reason
to doubt the same, the men who were
doing the blasting were guilty of
criminal carelessness. After having
been told to go and do the warning,
something any man with a spoonful
of gray matter would do without be-
ing told, they leave their positions
and disappear. Accidents that are
unavoidable are numerous enough
without endangering human lives
through gross carelessness.
