He'd Better Keep Still.

w. J. Mcconnell was Governor of
Idaho and chairman of the board of
equalization for four years During
that time the highest valuation placed
upon railroads was $6, 800 a mile. When
the attempt was made to raise this val
uation Governor Mcconnell opposed it
with his voice Ind vote. Now he occu-
pies himself throwing conniption fits
because the railroad valuation is only
SO. 900 mile. Perhaps if the ex-Goy-
ernor had devoted himself as relieiously
to the study of railroad taxation when
he was governor as he did to the philos-
ophy that earned for him the title of
''Poker Bill, the people might be dis
posed to take him seriously in these
days of his nn1amented obscurity
Weiser World
w. J. Mcconnell is out in an infer
view in which he criticizes the state
board of equalization in general ard
Governor iooding in particular, for not
u,ting higher value on the railroads
in the state. The ex-governor evident
ly forgets how eager he was to raise the
value on this class of property when he
was chairman of the board(s) Talk is
cheap, especially when w. J furnishes
the talk, but in view of the history of
the state during 1893-4-5 and 6 the ex-
governor would better refrain from
getting into news paper controversy.

or 'stick-up' men, as we call them
the men who rob the isolated drug

hoboes. who are quite as desperate,
who mean business, and are willing
to kill.
ascribe this criminality to sew
eral causes. First, there is the yell
low covered literature. which poisons
the minds of those who read it and
makes heroes of desperadoes. For
it all I think there are two remedies.
The first Is the suppression of the
yellow covered publications, and the
second Is the placing of the boy who
shows early indications OF hold-up
proclivities in the reformatory. Juve-
nile courts for the very young and
uniformed are all right. The whip

sort OF offense, also, for in Delaware.

Las. week in an article con-
corning the waterworks, there APP
peared "A few lines to the effec.
the builder of said waterworks.
Mr.. Bruce of Yankton had some
months past assured our citizen
that the water in The pipes run
ming into the tank, having a case
with four th;cknesses of lumber
and as many dead air spaces,
would not freeze under any cir
cumstances. Mr., Bruce called TO
our Office Monday afternoon and
demanded an explanation and
whence We Obtained such an in
formation, and stated that he
gave instructions to I h o in
charge of the waterworks how to
take care VI the :ystem, and that
unless they keep circulation Of
water that il would freeze. This
last phrase was omitted by the
party from who We obtained our
forme. Information; and we. not
being in town at that time when
this occurred, took his word for
it and expected him speaking the
truth. Upon hearing the state
ment of Mr.. Bruce we interviewed
some OF our citizen as TO the
matter and tn cir statements
agreed with that Of Mr.. Bruce,
so we arrived at the conclusion
that Mr., Bruce has spoken the
truth and that the error is due 70
misinformation. Furthermore. we
are informed by trustworthy resi-
dents. that Mr., Bruce had treated
our people in gcntlemanly way
and provided for our waterworks
such extra expenditure and labor
which was not stipulated in the
contract, all at his expense so as
we should have perfect water
work system.
In the meeting Of the town
board which was held Monday
evening, Mr.. Bruce was also pre-
sent and he asscnted to stand the
expense OF labor in repairing the
cracked pipe, the town furnishing
the mancrial; this he was under
no obligations to do, but done il
to show that he deals justly.
Returning back to the first SUBJ
ct, after being sufficiently in
formed from reliable sources, we
say that il is not the fault OF Mr..
Bruce that We have this trouble
with our watcrworks, and regret
that we have not been so inform.
