Contest the sidewalk Inv.

Sioux City, Aug. 29.The Equitable
Company, of Sioux City, has begun suit
here in an effort to knock out the ordf-
nance under which the cost of a nuns
Der of sidewalks has been assessed
against the company according to 1.-THE
front foot rule" The company contends
that the cost must be assessed accord-
ing to benefits derived, the same as
paving. Its attorneys point on; that
the law enacted by the state legislature
last winter provides that paving, curb
ing and other Street Improvements
must be assessed according to benefits
derived BY the property owners and
that sidewalks must be included in
other street improvements. The suit
is looked upon as one of Importance
here, because the validity of thousands
of dollars worth OF sidewalk assess
ments is being brought into question.

1000 Pairs of Handouts.

One OF the most recent shipments
OF supplies to the Philippine" con-
sisted of 1000 pairs of handouts.
which were in such urgent need that
General Otis ordered them by cable.
These handouts are to be used in
combining desperately insane Amer
can soldiers, who for the most part
have been driven to that condition
by contemplation of the horrible
injustice of this unnecessary and I'M
pardonably wicked war More than
five hundred insane soldiers have al
ready been returned to the United
States. Il majority of them hopeless
of recovery
The ancients believed that insane
persons were possessed of devils. as
Il punishment for sins committed bv
themselves or their ancestors. In
the present instance if the affection
could fall upon those who are re-
sponsible for the war it would be a
righteous punishment. But the
human swine who promote greedy
syndicates and fatten on the blood
OF their helpless victims are not con-
stituted with those fine sensibilities
that become unbalanced in contem-
plation of horrible injustice and un-
necessary suffering. Such things do
not disturb them III the least. Like
Nero OF old, they would wade through
the blood of women and children
with a smile on their porcine faces If
thereby they could add one dollar
more to their ilEgotten wealth.
Human suffering does not disturb
them.-Miss. Valley Dem.

position is strong and has grown
stronger, as it always grows stronger
on the eve of an election. 1t is no
use to deny that there are malcon-
tents and honest doubters The hon
est dOubters must be honestly met
and honestly answered.
1T is true that our territorial ac-
QUESTIONS have brought most serious
problems. The Philippine islands are
ours by the solemn compact of a
treaty. They are ours, too, by the
acquiescence 10y the larger part of the
native inhabitants. We are there by
right and we are bound to stay, by
every duty. 1t is not a theory which
confronts us but a condition. We
therefore ask our critics not to spin
theories of what might have been
done, but to cooperate with us and
help us to take our duty and dis
charge it.
