WHO WAS TO BLAMEp

WHO WAS TO BLAMEp
"a two dollar bill came into the
hands of a relative of mine." writes a
lady in Boston, (which speaks volumes
on the horrors of strong drink or the
traffic on it. There was written in red
ink on the back of it the following:
"'Wife, children. and over SAC, 900. 90
all gone. 1 am alone responsible. All
has gone down my throat, When
was 81 had fortune, and l am not
yet 35 years old. I have killed my
beautiful wife, who died OF broken
heart; have murdered my children with
neglect. When this bill is gone I do
not know how l will get my next mesl.
I shall die a drunken pauper. This is
my last money, and my history. IT
this bill comes into the hands of any
man who drinks, let him take warning
from my life's ruin.''
And he might we'll have added-if 1t
comes into the hands of any man who
does not drink but who by his vote
justifies the drink traffic for reward,
let him remember he is his brothers
keeper.

A POLITICAL GRAFT.

Mayor Nixon appointed the Cresset
to do the city printing last Thursday
night. Sometime before the council
passed an order submitting the work to
bids and the INDEX was asked to sub
NIT one. We complied but there was
not respect enough accorded US to even
break the seal and read our proposition.
A member of the council said that he
favored giving 1t to the Cresset because
it had become custom to give the city
printing to the paper that did not have
the county printing. That gentleman
is shooting blank cartridges into empty
space. The INDEX has never had the
city printing since the present publish
ers have been connected with t,without
receiving it on a bid. Whenever we got
it we agreed to do 1t at a lower rate than
any other paper would. We are
not grieving about it, but we will not
permit these false statements to go un-
challenged. On party issue the IN.
DEX has no claim to anything at the
hands of the city administrator. All
are republicans except one, and if they
had informed us that the patronage
would 20 in political way, we would
never have taken the trouble to bid at
all. But it is, to say the least. very I'M
usual to call for bids and then refuse to
even consider one when it is submitted.
Councilmen Ewalt and Kidd objected
to the new way of doing business.
