Joe Trigg, the famous Iowa paragra-
phist, tells in a stickfull, what re.
quired a half column to say in these
columns a few weeks since:
We wish to say a word about the
most III used people in the country,
the third party-the consumer-the
hapleSS victim of all these gigantic
scraps between llabor and capital.
We. think it is time for him to have
his innings and make a kick. He, uI
to this time, has paid all the expenses
OF this continual fighting, has been
mulcted for damages right and left
until his patience is well nigh ex.
hausted. The sympathy once fell
for the labor unions in their disputes
with capital as the under dog in the
fight is about played out, and the
poor victim who pays the bills is get.

between the trusts. II the losses thus
inflicted upon the public during the
past Year-useless and unjustiable
losses-could be totaled the wnole
country would be astounded. II these
two factiOnsFmust forever be warrine
there should be some way in which tC
make them stand the expense.

Now comes the period Of the year
when we are RECALLED with letters
from those enjoying the winter in
California. The state newspapers are
filed with them, and they are all
pretty much like-in one respect.
.'I'm sitting with the window open, no
fire, flowers blooming in the yard and
can hardly realize that you are in the
midst OF winter and snow everywhere"
By the time We have read this a few
hundred times more we shall begin to
believe that there is a section OF
country on earth somewhere where
the thermometer is above zero in Janu-
airy. We have read in books of such
places but 1t never seemed possible
until these California letters came to
hand, The first time we strike SOUTH
ern California we're going to get a
room, shut the door, batten the
windows, build a roaring fire, put on a
fur coat and write a letter that will
make the readers of this moral sheet
sweat icycles-just to establish a pre-
cedent.

"A correspondent of a Kansas City
newspaper has been out among the
Kickapoo Indians and learned that
they have a peculiar marriage custom.
They simply select their wives, and
ii the selection is mutual they reside
together rs man and wife, and Moth
ing is said. There are no scandals
among these people. Husbands and
wives are true to each other, and the
quiet understanding is considered as
sacred as our marriage VOWS. There
are few acts that can be termed
criminal among this small band of
Indians. Murder is seldom heard of,
and death is the penalty for the crime.
Robbery from each other is unknown.
All their possessions could be piled
together in the street, and no one
would think OF taking the property.
Their Religions the same as Columbus
found among the Indians when he
first landed in America and yet we
send missionaries to that kind of
people.

It is a terrible thing to think about,
that it should require the death Of
nearly seven hundred people to bring
the municipal authorities Of Chicago.
to the point where owners and mana
gers OF theaters and other public
places Of amusement are compelled to
comply with the ordinances governing
the safety OF people who p%atronize
them. The negligence may be at
tributed mainly to the Characteristic
lack Of attention to duties BY the
average city official whose principal
interest in his work is in drawing a
salary and working a graft. AS things
are run nowadays in the big cities it
is the easiest thing possible for any
body to evade an ordinance IL he has
a pull-and a pull means a whack-up
with the proper party. Mayor Harri-
son, Immediately after the terrible
catastrophe in the Iroquois theatre,
made a grandstand play by closing
nineteen theaters and museums upon a
single violation of the ordinances-the
commission to supply an asbestos cur
tain. What has Carter Harrison and
his fire inspectors been doing all these
years not to have discovered this
omission before? The Iroquois theatre
was supplied with a fire curtain-but
it failed to work at the critical. mo-
ment. The reason for it will be as
certained at the inquest taken before
this appears in print and it will be
learned that criminal negligence was
the cause--probably a wire running
out into the auditorium from the
stage. In a year this awful loss of
life in the Iroquois will have been
forgotten-and managers and en-
ployees Of theatres will take the same
desperate chances as heretofore-with
no one to say them nay.

The Chief this week gives up consid-
cradle space to the reproduction OF
notices by the state press based upon
che recent improvements IN this paper.

tlseS lroquOis and as the representative

ton to uS-and should be to all who
are interested in the towns welfare
That the comment is favorable. These
expressions are from the men who

lore be classed under the head OF ex-
pert testimony. A town IS known by

Whatever advertises the Chief adj
vertlses Iroquois." That's the point
in a nutshell. The Chief published a
half page or more Of the notices. Pos
,slbly there are those in Iroquois who
think the editor is stuck on himself.
1t never occurs to such people that
people might be more stuck on their
editor than he is stuck on himself,
Men of Dick Halladay's ability don't
have to be. Newspapermen are not
much different from the ordinary run
of folk and occasionally n is found
who processes indifference to notices
OF his newspaper and work such as re-
ferred to in the Chief. Usually the
indifference" may be attributed to
an almighty scarcity Of them. 1t is
enough for the common run of editors
to know that the leading newsp apers
in the United ~States-from New York
to San Francisco-never forget. to re.
publish anything complimentary OF
them. Not because of egotism but as
an advertisement. Whatever everybody
says muse be SO. The reputation OF
Chas. A. Dana and his wonderful New
York Sun was builded in just sucf
comments ats appeared in last week.

Capital scrappers have taken up
the question of which country has the
most pianos and organs-DavisOn or
Hughes. This reminds us a good deal
OF the little boys who were fighting
when one said, .smy father can lick

All right; let's take up something
that appeals to you: Dawson county
has 5,61l hogs; Hughes county has 1874.
How does that strike you; any better:

its ninth year, and Editor Fulford

that the paper has seen some pretty
