Let economy be your watchword'

was the burden of advice rendered
the members of the Legislature before
departing for their scene of labor by
their home papers and the honor
ables proceeded to show their appre-
citation of the advice by promptly
applying the pruning knife of econo-
my to said newspapers, numerous
bills having been introduced leading
to a curtailment Of the immense (?l
revenue derived by them from official
publications. In fact, it may be
said hat the only economies so far
proposed have been at the expense
of the profession. This is giving the
boys a dose of their own medicine
with a vengeance, but there should
be justice in all things. The chief
grievance against the newspapers
was the price charged, varying in
almost every county, for the publica-
ton of the certificates Of nomination.
but it may be said in defense of the
variation in price that the forms fur
nished by the county auditors varied
as greatly. That the charge was
excessive in many cases may be adj
mitted, but this is no excuse for
"railroading" out of existence that
portion of the law providing for the
publication of certificates of nomi-
nation. Had the newspaper pub
fishers been granted IL full hearing
many apparent discrepancies could
have been explained and a compro-
mise easily effected. An amend
ment providing an uniform form and
price would have proved an effect,
ual reform and been acceptable to
publishers, who do not relish being
held up as horrible examples of
greed through deficiencies in the
law.
Other bills have been introduced
aimed directly at the newspapers
which are manifestly unjust. The
row which has been raised by the
repeal of the publication of certif,
Gates of nomination may have the
effect of clearing the atmosphere
and result in giving the papers q
chance to be heard. One thing is
sure, the legislature will have learn.

Webster ought TO have more fire
protection. Why wouldn't it be a
good scheme for the business men to
form a company, buy the franchise
of the city and put in waterworks.
The receipts from the water supply
would pay good interest on the in
vestment, besides keeping the system
in repair and in operation. That a
water supply is needed no one will
question, and some action to that
end should be taken at once. The
amount of loss from the recent
fire would be enough TO put in water
works twice over. Don't be salts
fed with saying something should
be done but get together and do
something. Webster has been par
ticularly fortunate in the past but it
seems like tempting Providence to
leave the town in the condition it is
now in regard to fire protection.
