As You Sow, So Shall You Reap,

Mrs. Grundy 1T appears from
the reports in the newspapers
that you are having a shot
time in the old town." The coun
try is only reaping what it sowed.
You can't expect stream to rise
above its source. Since the war
of rebellion, the people have set
an example of robbery, worse
than those committed by the
bandits of old, that we read of.
Bank defaultations, ballot box
stuffing, stealing office, etc.
Think moment! A highway
robber meets you in the road and
makes you stand and deliver.
You give up your cash. There
is but one man injured and the
thief is the only one benefited
by the exchange of fund. He
bravely or cowardly, whichever
you may choose to call his action,
took great risk to say the least
of it as all the machinery of the
law is put on his track to bring
him to taw. But how is it with
the man who steals all office that
he has reason to believe was not
fairly won? He is meaner man
than the one who took your purse
at the muzzle of pistol. The
first only injured one man, the
other whole nation. The bank
robber or defaulter only robs the
depositors. The ballot thief robs
o nation. The official thief sets
the example before his children.
| have heard many ballot box
thieves, who stood high in the
community brag on how slick they
had managed to carry an election
by stufIing the box. Their sons
saw and heard all the proceed
ings. If it is smart to steal {
vote or stuff a ballot box, it il
equally smart to steal mani
. labor. 1t is a well settled prin
ciple of law that a receiver o
, stolen goods, knowing them t,
be stolen is equally guilty as TIL
+, thief. Apply this principal t

e that he knows was given b

Aguinaldo is Again Active.

Capt. w. p. Baker, medical
officer of the constabulary serving
in the province of Cavite, p. L.,
while testifying in a libel suit
against the Renanchiemiento, a
native newspaper there, declared
that Aguinaldo was in league
with the native outlaws. He
said that evidence to this effect
was obtainable from captured
chiefs.
''The people understand" he
said, "that Aguinaldo is the di-
rector of outlaw campaign and
supposedly peaceful natives are
aiding the movement under the
same understanding"
Aguinaldo was challenged tc
prove otherwise. The testimony
has created sensation.

were fully loaded; two mail cars,
two baggage cars and the private

Four hours time was required by
the combined fire departments
of the city in extinguishing the
flames, which had spread rapidly
before the alarm was turned in,
on account of the many tracks
which made it difficult in reach
ing the burned points.
The origin of the fire is a com.

that the fire was in storage closet IN

And Pay for all the Beets Now
Piled on the Ground.

Representatives of the sugar COM
pany have announced the fact that the
same price will be paid for sugar beets
next year As this season. In fact the
same identical contracts will prevail. 1t
seems that it has been rumored that a
cut would be made by the company
which would mean lower prices. conse-
ouentiy the company has given it out
plain that S per ton will be pad deiiV-

The company also denies the report
that beets piled on the ground would not
