carry this full vote and some from
the opposing party because OF his
powers as lawyer and his popu
larity among men. A young man
ambitiousand industrious, 1t would
not be surprising to see him, not
many years hence, attain to a seat

SLOT MACHINES.

Is it not interesting to see how
a notice OF two or three, or even
ten lines. if it condemns some
vicious habit, or even mentions a
fact which hundreds and hundreds
and hundreds of people passing on
the street can see, will stir up some
people, while the same size notice
or even a half column article fos-
tering some enterprise or business
or giving detail OF some social
function will 60 without comment,
recognition or even "thank you. "
Yes, we mentioned slot ma
chimes in our last issue. We had
seen them in ONLY ONE place,
and we referred to it. Early on
Tuesday morning we heard from
that little notice. If we had seen
the gambling machines in other
places we could have worded our
notice differently. In substance
we were told: IF you will attend
to your own business as closely as
you do the business of other
people you would make more out
it We were told that during
fair week the town was open to
most everything, that the oper-
ating Of slot machines was viola
ton of law
1t may be that all forms Of vice
and violations of law were winked
at during that festive season, apart
from any connection with the
street fair management If so, is
such permission creditable to those
responsible for such permissionf
Is there no guardian or protrector
for the public morals and good
name of our city7 Are few or
many collars to enrich or curse
men at the expense OF manly vir-
tues which adorn life and give it
true WORTH
We have no apology to offer for
any comment which justly con
demns vice or anything that leads
to depravity.
We trust that we are actuated by
noble purposes. Sin cannot be
rebuked or corrected without in
some measure restraining the lib
erty of those practicing it, how
ever tenderly and lovingly the
protest is made.

WATER FOR
THE CEMETERY.

Under this heading an article
A. peared in our issue last week,
and called forth some comments.
We heard from it early Tuesday
morning.
We had no intention or desire
to lead to a controversy between
any persons, but hoped that in
some way the outcome would be
water for the cemetery, on such
terms as the interested parties
could agree upon.
Our reporter had a talk with
three gentlemen interested in the
cemetery. In that talk we ascer-
tanned that at one time the water
company through MIR. Holbrook.
made a written proposal to the
cemetery company to furnish
water provided the cemetery COM
pany would guarantee the pay
ment of sIoo per year for five
years, which amount was consid-
cred sufficient to pay cost OF lay
ing main to entrance OF cemetery;
moreover, we learned that at the
beginning of talk about putting
water in cemetery it was agreed
at meeting in w. b. Whites
office between representatives Of
the city council and the water
company that the main should be
laid as far as the cemetery gate,
and that the gentlemen separated
wdth that understanding; also that
when the matter was later present
ed in council the agreement was
made that the main should not
extend beyond Willis Boards (its
present terminus) which is 57oI
feet from the cemetery curbing at
entrance. We also learned that
the cemetery company is anxious
to put water on their grounds and
propose to pay for it as do other
patrons but they do not want to
go to the expense of laying $40
feet Of main, which they claim the
water company should lay, be-
cause they, the cemetery compa-
ny, are not authorized to lay
water pipes on the streets of the
city. All that the cemetery com
pany claim is that they be treated
like other patrons. If the main
is laid to their curbing they will
pipe water into the grounds and
pay for what they get.
We dot know that the water
company is compelled to lay
mains to the cemetery. With
them it is, we presume, question
of business, will it pay3 That is
the way it looks to us. Whether
or not the income from this will
ing prospective customer and
others will justify the expense
is for the water company to
decide.

MIR. YOUNG IN CAMPAIGN.

Mr.. Allie w. Young says State
Central Committee, of which he is
chairman, has made no arrange
ments for the campaign this tall,
that the course of the committee
and State organization would be
largely determined by the outlook
when the time for making an active
campaign arrives. Mr.. Young
thinks the nominees OF the DEM
ocratic party will have no trouble
winning. but believes in deter
mined work and is opposed to tax
ing chances.
Mr.. Young not only talks right,
but acts right in campaign matters.
The Republican party leaders have
shown their inward in-wardness
which has been repudiated by the
people at the polls and we believe
the people should frequently pull
their mask aside to see them as
they are.

operate and participate in the produc-
ton of the International Olympian
games of 1904. All foreign countries

ply to invitations which were sent out
ten days ago from the general offices in
this city and from cables just received
from Paris and Berlin. President

contribute to their success. and 1t VIII
gice me pleasure to open them and TO
send to them bodies OF United States
troops and United States sailors to

SAGE CRITICIZES MORGAN.
Trusts are Not Necessary and Are
OpprcsCrs of the People.

New York, August 21.-Russell Sage
in an interview today referred to a
published statement quoting j.. p. Nor
gan as saying that the era of great
trusts had just begun and that more
gigantic corporations are stored in the
near future, some of which may over
shadow the steel trust. Mr.. Sage said:
Whether Mr.. Morgan said that or
not, combinations Of all industries are
a menace to true government. Not only
so but they are the oppressors of the
people,"
What will be the result of such al
era" asked a reported.
"In such an event the American peo-
pie will revolt against them and there
will be financial ruiz the like of which
this country has never een-or any
other"
1t was suggested to Mr.. Sage shat
there was a general opinion that con-
binationS at certain times were good
things for the country.
Yes, Mr.. Sage replied" when seVera:
industries are starting out in business.
it is we'll for individuals to combine Ger
mutual protection until the business iE
firmly established. When the business
is so established the combination sfculd
be disrupted and conducted on indiyid

CHEESE CLOTH FREE.
Interesting Change Made in the
Cuban Tariff Law.

Washington, Aug. 21.-In a report
made public at the state department
today United States Minister Squiers
at Havana calls attention to an intar-
esting change in the Cuban tariff law
which admits cheese cloth into the is
land free of duty in order to promote
what is known as the covered Guilt
vation'' of tobacco. Important agri-
cultural interests of Cuba have for
some time urged that the step an
nounced above should be taken and
President Estrada Palma, in his mes
sage to the Cuban Congress, strongly
recommended the exemption of cheese
cloth from the payment of inn Jrt d.
ties.
Covering" tobacco consists in placing
the cheese cloth at a certain height in
the form of an awning over the plants
to moderate the intensity Of the sun S
rays, prevent the wind from sWaIinS
and breaking the leaves. and, most m
portant of all, to guard against insect
attacks. The system has been tried
with success in Sumatra. The duty on
cheese cloth was from 10 TO ~ cent?
per kilogram tabout 2 1-5 pounds and
the amount imported has been al
proximately $4,000 worth per annuln, 4
little more than one-half being FROM
the United States.
