RANDOM THOUGHTS.



90, that men should put an
enemy into their mouths to steal
away their brains! that we should
with joy, revcl, pleasure and APP
plause transform ourselves into
beasts"
So speaks Shakespeare, and
he deals with conditions that had
a beginning even before the
time when our ancestor Noah
got top heavy from the proceeds
of his first crop after leaving
the ark. These conditions, de-
plorable as they are, abide with
us today and are reasonab bly,
sure to remain with US so long
as man inhabits the earth. AS
"strOng drink" cannot be gotten
rid of entirely the question of
how to deal with it has now
become one of the gravest prob
lens Of the day. The fight that
has been made and is now going
Gr against ''the open saloon
under the local option laws of
this state is one way &c &c deal
with the matter. Under the !
battle cry, against the open

gaining ground rapidly but
there are very serious doubts
about their being able to hold I
even the territory already Gov
cred by them should the Hep
burn-Doliver bill, now before
Congress, become a law The
passage of this last named act,
would, where the local option
law was in force, almost place
liquor beyond the MW/M reach
of any citizen. Then again
both pros and ants are getting
weary Of holding so many cleo
tons; in some portions of. the
state, amounting to one about
every SIX mouths. That the
liquor business should be fixed
in some way all good citizens
admit and this question Of h0W
should now direct our thoughts.
According to Blackstone one
should never find fault with

FACTS vs.. FICTION.

A prominent citizen of our
town was seen one day last
week going from the postoffice
to his home with a copy of The
Canyon City News and a large
illustrated catalogue of Sears,
Roebuck & Co., lastly enclosed
in the paper. The paper was
small and the wind was blowing
and we saw, perhaps, that
which said citizen was most in
terested in keeping from view,
viz: the catalogue, Not wish
ing to question the loyalty of
our esteemed citizen too hastily
in the matter, the editor devised
novel method of putting him
to the test. We were paid for
our investigation with the hap.
ply knowledge that he was only
taking the catalogue home that
his wife might compare its
prices with those of our home
merchant in the medium of the
Canyon City News. "Of course"
he said, Il don t expect to see
prices in the paper quite as
cheap as those of the catalogue,
