DID ..MALIcE" STOP THE GAMBLING9

WHEN rottenness smells to
heaven is it malice to speak Of it?
When the knights of the green
cloth have been plying their bust
ness without restriction for over
five months is it malice to men
tion it? When young boys can
gamble in the joints of Washburn
is it malice to call q halt? When
half the town is crying out with
wonder and chagrin at the con-
ditions that are permitted to
exist, is it malice to express the
public views?
The TIMES has no malice, no
politics, and no one to injure.
But The TIMES will always
champion the cause of good
government, no matter who the
persons are who are responsible
for the good name of Washburn
being dragged in the mud.
THE TIMES had not been pub
lished two hours last week before
the gambling houses of Wash
burn had their orders to stop
their games.
If that is malice then The
TINES is satisfied, and the people
ought to be, too.
Can nothing be done for the
public good unlessit be prompt
ed by malice?
How consistent for a public
official to admit that for months
he had neglected his sworn duty
and was waiting for someone else
to perform it. But there was
quick action last week after The
INES was printed, and two
hours after the edition was out
gambling suspended, or ceased

IRON RIVER will not have it's
turpentine plant after all, as the
men who we're to put in the plant
there have decided not to go.into
the business giving some
shallow excuse for their
failure to show up. There has
been a good deal of talk about
manufacturing turpentine and
tar out of old pine stumps, but
up to date the manufacture seems
to be principally in the wind that
is raised by the so-called pro-
motors. If what is claimed can
be done then there must be many
fortunes going to waste among
the oceans of pine stumps in
northern Wisconsin.
A CATHOLIC bishop has taken
exception to the oath of the
Printers Union, and has de-
clared that the mem bers of that
organization are unit to receive
the benefits of the church. He
has many followers, and now
comes the Reverend Farmiloe,
of the Methodist church of Elgin,
Illinois, who calls OH God to
curse labor unions in general,
characterizing them as an evil.
The only trouble with such mem
bers of the clergy as those who
have expressed themselves,
whether Catholic or Protestant,
is that they are not of the broad
minded sort who Constitute the
progressive ministry of the
country today, but belong to the
ranks Of the back-numbefs, and
the wrong they find in labor
unions is simply because the
unions are too swift for such old
fashioned "foggles" as they are.
The general run of the clergy
can find nothing wrong about
labor unions, and in fact uphold
them and encourage their mem
bership. It is for this reason
that one or two disSenterS can
make so much noise.
THERE isa big row in the news.

THE TOW board has ordered
gambling suppressed. 1t took
some vigorous protests on the
part of citizens to bring about
this result, but if the board will
insist from this time cut that
there be no more gambling in
Washburn, and keep the places
closed permanently their course
will meet with universal approval.

In recent report OF Secretary Hitch
cock the Gunnison tunnel proposition
Is mentioned favorably. together with
several other irrigation projects. In re-
fering to work done under the irrigation
act by the national government in Col
orado, the report OF the secretary is as
follows:
In Colorado principal attention has
been given to the tunnel which it is
proposed to build to carry the water of
the Gunnison river in the Uncompahgre
valley in the vicinity of the towns of
Montrose and Delta"
The tunnel is also among the projects
that the report states contracts will be
let soon for construction, by the nation
al government.

containing surveyors examinations, es-
Inmates and giving the probable cost of
all the irrigation projects now coutem-
plated by the government throughout
the arid west. which is to be submitted
to Congress at the beginning OF the
next regular session. This is one OF the
requirements OF the Irrigation Act.
AS there is now over sl6.0OO,OOO avail
able for these irrigation enterprises
there is very little doubt but that the
contract for the tunnel will be let in the
spring.
