ton, while Oregon, Montana and
Delaware will only have one vote
each, provided elections are impos-
sible, which seems to be now assured.
The advocates of the present system
are afraid of giving the people too
much power because they fear the
effect on corporate wealth. But the
change will surely be made. 1t may
take two two years and it may take
ten. But the mode Of election will
be changed or the adjustment of the
rich mans club will be the ultimate
result. If the people are not compe-
tent to say how their business shall
be conducted it would be better to
have no public business.

If there is promoter of crime in
this city that leads all others it is the
gambling device known as the nickel
in the slot. Boys and young men get
their first gambling experiences with
these omnipresent machines. We
have in mind two men in this city
who were honored and respected two
years ago. They were both occupy
ing positions Of trust and earning
good salaries. In an evil moment
they appeared at a prominent cigar
stand, and just for the fun Of the
thing began trying to beat the trap
at its own game. They kept it up
for two years, when they were both
financially and perhaps morally ruin
ed. They should not be allowed to
exist in this city, and the time will
come when the great moral sense Of
the people will be so aroused that
their withdrawal will be demanded.

one Of the lowest dives imaginable.
The owner frankly admitted that he
had no license to sell intoxicating
liquor, but remarked that he did not
need one, as the police knew all
about it, and did not interfere with
his business. The place was no bet
ter nor worse than four or five more
along the lake, but they we're all
under police protection. The people
will some day awake to the necessity
Of demonstrating an enforcement of
the law, and then will come the rat
thing Of official dry bones.

The supporters of wide-open pol
icy, especially as to gambling, con-
tend that continuance Of the policy
is necessary to make good times in
this city. They assert that gamblers
and the soiled doves that 60 hand in
hand with chance devices, put in cir
culation large amounts of money
which would be boarded if the nefa-
rious business was stopped. Let us
see how much truth there is in this
claim. In Sioux City some years ago
a minister who had been an earnest
upholder Of law was killed by some
saloon keepers, with the result that
every saloon in the city was driven
out Of existence. The sympathizers
of saloons and gambling houses pre-
dictcd a ruin to the city and many
property owners thought that they
would have to suffer for the innova-
ton, but as time passed business men
began to realize that legitimate lines
had not only held their own but were
rapidly increasing their volume of
business. The man who gave the
bulk of his wages to the saloon
brought home edibles and clothes for
his family, and it was not long before
the business men who fought the
hardest for gambling and saloons
were the loudest in favor Of the new
conditions. This is not the expert
ence of Sioux City alone, but it is the
experience Of every city which has
revolted against the abominable ALI
ance between political managers and
the wide open liquor traffic. If We
must have saloons, make them paw
$1,000, do away with side entrances
and remove nickel in the slot ma
chimes.

The men who are making so much
ado over the fact that Cuba has not
been allowed to fix up any old thing
they call a constitution and then go
it alone with their peculiar ideas Of
liberty, should read letter written
by correspondent who was sent to
Cuba purposely to write up the Am
erican side of the question Instead
of going right at. it as soon as he
touched a dock he visited nearly all
of the island, talked with laborers,
business men and farmers, and in
his letter says that he cannot stultify
himself by writing things that he
knows to be untrue. He says a small
minority Of the ragtag and bobtail
with the same ambitious leaders de-
sire independence, but the respect

animous for annexation. He further
says it will not be three months after
Cuba has been Abandoned by the
United States before a revolution
will break out which will oblige this
government to return and subdue it
by force Of arms. He further says.

At ever general election since
1894 A. T. Van De Vanter has been
a standing candidate for sheriff and
is now setting up his pins for another
nomination. Either there must be
great emoluments in the office as
conducted by him or there are other
potent reasons for his ambition in
that direction. His road has always
been a rocky one. The first time he
was declared elected, after a contest,
by seven votes. In 1896 he was
beaten about thousand. In 1898 he
went in on the popular wave by a
small majority and last fall he ran
behind the head of his ticket about
5000 votes.

People who are Directing so stren-

Quay and Clark, because we have al

STATE EXCHANGES.

Mrs. Nation may smash Kansas
saloons, but in so doing she is pur-
suing the tactics Of any other out

right to run in Kansas; neither has
any one the right to wantonly de-
stroy property or roast a Negro at
the stake. Kansas has turned out a
variegated crop of Pops and cranks

In theory it is all very well to wait

found the authorities were power

introduced compelling handlers of
cigarettes or cigarette papers to paw
an annual license fee Of $500, and
put up bond of $1,000 that the little

given away to any minor, the penalty
for violation being the payment of

license shall be granted until the ap-
plicant shall secure the signatures of
a majority Of the legal voters of the
precinct to petition, which is to be
published for four consecutive weeks

The president has sent a message
ito congress asking that justice be
done to Admiral Sampson, and now
the Schley shouters have again taken
up the cudgel in behalf Of their po-
litical naval official. Admiral SamD-
son had command of the whole South
Atlantic squadron during the whole
Spanish war, and every official Of
rank from the secretary Of the navy
down has sided with him in the con-
trOversy. 1t has been decided that
the New York never fired a gun in
the action at Santiago which resulted
in the destruction Of Cervera's fleet.
For the sake Of argument, the charge
is admitted, and what then? Samp-
son, it is admitted, carefully planned
the battle, and if Schley had been
ten thousand miles from the. scene of
the conflict the fleet Of the Spanish
would have been destroyed just the
same. The objection against Samp-
son being elevated over Schley has
no force, for all Of the officers of
Dewey's feeet were promoted above

navy, Even Capt Clark, the famous
commander Of the Oregon, was two
grades lower in rank when the Man

CRAFTY VINE DRESSER.
Excuse Of Empioye of Pope Leo NIL
for Not Keeping His
Promise.

Leo XIII. had reason to be dissat-
isfied with bis vine dresser last year,
and decided to replace him by an
other, SAYS writer in the New York
Herald. A man, who was said To be
competent. was recommended to him,
and the pope. after taking him
through the vineyard, asked him how
many casks of wine he thought he
could obtain from IL.
Five, at least" replied the crafty
vine dresser. and as this was twice
as much as the vineyard had ever be-
fore yielded, the pope promptly hired
him.
After all the grapes had been gath
cred this year, however. it was found
that there was hardly enough for a
single cask. The pope naturally COM
planned to his vine dresser. but the
latter excused himself by saying: II
rcckoned on five casks. but ! did not
reckon that your holiness gen.
darmes would eat most Of the grapes
before / had time to gather them"
When the pope heard this he or
dered that n railing be placed around
the vineyard so as to protect IL from
I thieves. This has been done. and
every one is now wondering what
excuse the vine dresser will have
next year when the pope again asks
him why the promised five casks are
not Forthcoming.

were prancing round their cage, roar

started the puma, and when he began
he started the panthers. II was, |

So Mamie poured half Of the Florida

all over it, and acted just like good
