To the law abolishing the canteen
General Fred Grant attributes the
enormous increase of drunkenness
and general decentralization in the
army, as the soldiers, instead OF
drinking at the. barracks; where they
generally INDUCED moderately, now
visit the dives which have sprung up
in the vicinity Of the military posts
and there either become, intoxicated
or are drugged and robbed. This
conclusion of the generals appears to
be logical and convincing.

Were the amount of money which is

appropriated to the construction of

vastly improved and people would
live just as long, if not longer.

WHO WAS The SKINNED
Question of Sheriff's Fees Discussed
at the Recent Board
Meeting

At the recent meeting of the county
board, the question was raised by Ex-
Sheriff Sergeant, who has been skin
ned in the matter of sheriff's fees.
Mr.. Sergeant asserted with emphasis
that either the county had skinned him
or that the county is being skinned by
the present sheriff. The interesting
question is expressed by that simple
word which?
The Ladysmith News being the only
paper in the county which cares con-
tinental about the interests of the tax
payers, will of course, be the only paper
that will discuss this matter.
It is we'll known that under the in
fiuence and enmity of District Attorney
McGill, fight was made on Sheriff
Sergeant's bills. 1t is likewise true
that District Attorney Williams favored
sheriff's bills as they were presented.
There is vast difference between the
amounts allowed the two and the ques-
tion is which is correct. We shall pub
lish the figures allowed to each in lat
er issue.

CLOSING LIGHT DEAL
McGill and Newman Make Deals to
Secure Control of the
Concern.

AS heretofore stated exclusively in
the News, Messrs. Newman and McGill,
late of the defunct First National bank
later of the defunct Electric Light and
Power company, and latest of the de-
funct stock ranch, were making siren
uous efforts to secure the claims of cred
itors against the Light and Power COM
pany at thirty cents on the dollar.
For some time little headway was
made along this line, but latterly they
have been more successful, and several
settlements have been made with cred
itors.
AS heretofore stated in the News this
campaign for the recovery of the de-
funct concern is an example IN the ways
and plans of corporations that are man
ipulated rather than operated. McGill
testified that there is now nothing in
the concern but the junk pile down at
the power house. He sold the most
valuable part of the assets for $500.
gave half to Newman and pocketed the
other half. After thus shunting the
concern of the main value of the concern,
a desperate effort is being made, and
for weeks has been made, to buy up
the thousands Of dollars Of claims.
Several thousands of dollars for a junk
pile!
We persist in giving the facts in this
matter for the reason that public
lighting concern is public matter and
that the public is particularly interested
in this case, because with the most wall
liable asset gone the likelihood of hav-
ing good lighting service in the future
is reduced to that extent. Various
rumors are in the air promising good
service. We have had runors in the
past-just rumors. What the public is
entitled to in all these matters is fact
and not fiction, services and not prom
ises, public service corporations manged
on business principles and not banded
about for the safety or convenience of
| financial takers.

Last Monday, Manager Brunk of the
Bruce Mercantile company took a freight
train for Ladysmith. The train didn't
stop, and as Mr.. Brunk was answering
a summons to appear in court, he got
his mind at work on the vexatious ques-
tion of how not to go too far east.
When passing the home of M. Little
john, a mile east of the city, the unWill-
ing passenger jumped off the train and
landed with such force that his head
was cut in several places.
This incident was noted by Mrs. Little
john, who called her husband. Mr..
Littlejohn went to the relief of the
injured man, dressed his wounds and
brought him to Ladysnith.
After time to rest Mr. Brunk regained
his balance and was able to transact

THE PRESIDENT
ON FOOT BALL

Philadelphia, Nov. 20 DR.. j. Will
liam White, professor of surgery at
the University of Pennsylvania and a
member of the university committee on
athletics, returned tonight from Wash
ington, where he had been summoned
bv President Roosevelt to discuss mat
ters relating to football.
| In an interview tonight DR.. White
said:
"The president did me the honor of
asking me to lunch with him at the
! White House to-day for the purpose of
discussing with him the situation as to
American football. An article of mine
published in last weeks Outlook was
the occasion of the invitation.
AS to what took place during my Wis
it the president has permitted me to
say that we are in complete accord as
to the need of permanent abolition of
brutality and foul play; of the increase
of the powers of the officials, and of
the severity of the penalties as being
necessary to bring about such abolition;
as to the desirability of careful consid-
GRAFTON of any changes in the rules that
may be required to minimize danger
while preserving the essential, many
and vigorous characteristics of the
game, and as to the urgent need of
earnest effort to secure a simple and
uniform eligibility code for all Ameri-
can colleges and universities.
1.-The president said he 'emphatically
believes in continuing the game.
"The president added: Brutality
and foul play should receive the same
summary punishment given to man
who cheats at cards, who strickes a
foul blow in boxing. The umpire must
have the widest latitude in enforcing
this principle, even to the extent of
'ordering not only individual players,
but whole teams off the field, and col
lege presidents should hold to the sharp
est accountability the umpire who per
mits foul or brutal football in any
game.
" We want simple rules, not compli-
Gated rules, because complicated rules
offer too many loopholes. The respons-
IDLE authorities of the several colleges
whose teams play together should have
what may be called gentlemen S
agreement among themselves that
these rules shall be enforced in spirit
as we'll as in letter, each being held
responsible for what goes on in his col
lege and each seeing to the permanent
removal from the game not only of the
foul or brutal player, but of the man
who is not bona hde student and am
ateur.
1t would be real misfortune to
lose SO manly and vigorous a game as
football, and to avert such possibility
the college authorities in each college
should see to it that the game in that

Interested Booming.

One might almost suspect that the
| immigration agencies of the Canadian
Northwest had put some of the leading
agricultural papers and their editors on
their payroll from the tenor of the arti-
cles therein booming" the Canadian
Northwest. Here is the Orange Judd
Farmer, for instance, now edited by
Prof. Thomas Shaw. In almost every
issue it has a number of editorial articles
extolling the region in question; the in
tent of which is plainly to make Amer
lean farmers believe that they can bet
ter their lot by pulling up stakes" and
moving to the Dominion. But Prof.
Shaw is himself Canadian, and nat
urally feels we'll disposed to aid in Can
adian schemes of development even at
the expense of American interest.
The probability is that readers of such
articles, who are inticed into emigrating
will most of them discover that they
have made mistake. Those far north
ern countries have for number of sea-
sons experienced spell of good luck in
regard to meteorological conditions,
which is apt to prove as deceptive as
was similar spell in the early days of
settlement in western Kansas and Neb-
raska. Not improbably it may be fol-
lowed by a series of years in which crop
failures will be the rule. The climate
is too cold, the season. of growth too
short for the man accustomed, to- the
conditions and agricultural methods pre-

tariff makes the cost of all kinds of mer-
chandise, tools, etc., needed by the far
mer very high as compared with prices
on this sideiof the line. Railroad fac
ilities are comparatively meager, and
