NOW FOR ACTION.

"There is tide IN the affairs of
men. !. that, taken at the food, leads
on to fortune, and, this being true
as to individual interests, it must be
equally or more important as affect
ing the destines of communities The
dawn of fair morning is now visible
in our horizon, presaging o long,
bright day of local prosperity for
Weiser and the county generally.
But the fruition Of our hopes to the
fullest extent is now in our own
hands and dependent on our own exer-
ton; enterprises Of various kinds,
already too long deferred, are now in
progress, and promise to be pushed
to early completion; water works and
and city lights are no longer matters
of speculation; financial matters are
finally settled and the work is in
progress; across the river, the NAL
heur Canal company is pushing that
most important Improvement as fast
as possible; the enlargement of the
Weiser canal is an important enter
prise and present conditions demand
early completion of the work unusual
development in the mineral districts
north demand that railway extension
to that region be no longer delayed;
and last and almost if not actually
the most important of all prospective
benefits Is the assurance that a bridge
across Snake river is a matter con-
tingent only on our own earnest
efforts. Systematic work should be
the order The state appropriation,
generously granted by the legislature,
has received the approval of the
governor, and the money, $15, 900,
ls available as soon as conditions
agreed to are complied with. The
territory practically annexed is most
valuable for agricultural purposes
and will double the present resources
from which we now draw our support
and beyond this immediate locality
the good influence will be far reach
ing. The bridge will be located on
the one and only great thoroughfare
connecting north and south Idaho
and by this fact will facilitate i'm
migration, and be benefit to the
state at large. Much has been done.
but success always demands and
lncites to greater efforts, and the ac-
complishments of the enterprises
spoken of will only be suggestions
for others, for so the work of CITY
goes on, and, as the years
pass, the works of today, so vital to
progress, will seem insignificant CON-
pared with advanced times. The
past has gone-t today is ours to use
and mould the future.

Mass meetings have been called
in a number of the counties of the
State to select delegates to the
Prohibition State Convention,
which is to meet at Jackson. Feb
ruary 18th. The prohibition lead
ers are active to arouse sufficient
interest in the .movemenr to make
il an issue in the State campaign.
Of course, the candidates for Gov
ernor will promise not to veto a
prohibition measure should IL pass
the assembly and thus sidetrack
the issue to be fou ght over among
candidates for the Legislature only
This will reduce the agitation to
the minimum and dispose it t.
that field in politics where it be-
longs.

The Aberdeen Weekly suggests
that there il candidates trust in
Mississippi, which will combine 10

press Of the State at dollar each.
The Sentinel is not inclined to
take mach stock in this report.
However. AS we have before stated,
the paper that sells it's announce
ment space for any such mcasly
SUN is probably getting all that
the service is worth, as papers of
that class have very little standing
or influence. The Weekly also
points out what this paper has be-
fore held, that it is an injustice to
county candidates to exact a Tee of
$40 for their announcements, and
accept those of State candidates
for less sum. State candidates
who desire to use The Sentinel's
announcement columns will paw
the same fee we get from county
candidates.-Yazoo City Sentinel.
The suggestion OF The Weekly
was intended to convey the idea
that State candidates had entered

The Measure You Mete.

This brief extract from a not
very popular book is going the
rounds of the press:
IF | trust, | am trusted; if
suspect, l am suspected; if l love.
l am loved; if l hate, l am de-
spi-ed. !"
Keep these words in mind and
repeat them three or four times a
day and you are told that during
the year there will be a radical
change for the better in temper of
mind, attitude of life, and tone OF
character.
1t is a curious and interesting
fact, known to those who dweli
anyw here above the most sordid
condition of thought. we are told,
that the world is a mere reflection
of ones self, and gives back, trait
for trait. every Characteristic of
The man. A man finds what he
looks for, receives what he ex-
poets, and, in brief..s .s"gets what is
coming TO him.
This is a beautiful theory, but,
like most beautiful theories, ii
fades in the wash. Fast colors
are usually dull colors, not bril-
liant. If character, gentleness,
honor and faith were meted to
every man just as he measured ii
to others, there would be no neces-
sity for jails, nor even for aims
houses. The world will inevita bly,
give you kick for kick unless it be
afraid of you, but if it be afraid.
you may kick it viciously and con
tinuously without return. In this
cruel old world it is frequently
advisable to have two schools OF
ethics, one to teach and one to
practice. Venezuela is being ham
mered at present, not because it
deserves the hammering any more
than other nations, but because it
cannot hammer back. The anvil
strikes the hammer as hard as the
hammer strikes the anvil, but the
anvil generally outlasts it's antaRo-
mist.
1t is advisable to remember
even when committing the extract

The abolition Of unlicensed can.
teens that have fourished in the
Senate and House wings of the
Capitol was accomplished yester
day in the agreement on the
immigration bill, which specifically
provides, in section 81 "that no
intoxicating liquors Of any charac-
ter shall be sold within the limits
of the Capitol building of the
United States" This clause was
placed in the bill in the House on
May q of last year by Mr.. Lands,
of Indiana. His amendment was
offered at that time in a Joking
spirit, as he said, to show how
ridiculous was the proposition to
prohibit the sale Of the liquor at
immigrant stations. He dared
the members of the House to be
consistent prohibitionists. With
no thought but that the Senate
would throw out the clause, and
amid much hilarity, the House
voted in favor of the clause. The
Senate, when the bill was con-
sidered in that body, paid no
attention whatever to the clause,
passing it over in silence, and now
it has gone into the statutes, and
any member of either chamber can
insist upon its rigid enforcement.
That more than one Senator and
several Representatives will take
care that it shall not become
dead letter is assured. That any
legislator will hereafter have the
temerity to suggest repeating the
law is regarded as out of the
question. Nor is there much doubt
that Senators and Representatives
will promptly make some provisions
for their committee rooms for their
Cwn fortification, especially in
times Of protracted and exhausting
debates. The thirsty public will
then be the sole sufferers.
