the excitement incident to the
affair. Some things were done
that should not have been done,
very likely. but if there were
those among US who knew better,
it was our place to speak up in
meeting at that time, and not like
towards yelp and whine when the
affair was over. Personally. We
have refrained from discussing
the matter except as was neces-
sary to get information. There
may be an honest difference of
opinion about some things, but
let that be as it may, the fact is
that the people of this COM
munity are not bloodthirsty,
neither will they stand for the
ridiculous arraignment Of a man
who wants to hear his head rattle.
He has a right to live here if he
wants to, but il the people of
Great Bend are as idiotic as he
wants people to think they are,
he had better hike out, and not
become contaminated. Mistakes
will happen, especially under cir
cumstances like this case, but that
does not warrant a person claim
ing to be resident Of this city
from having a hemorrhage OF
words to the glori6cation of a
criminal, for the sole purpose Of
ridiculing respectable citizens.

In his charge to the Federal grand
iu-y last Tuesday, judge Dayton laid
particular stress upon the evils of ex-
c~essive liquor drinking. Ii is well
known thai the lodge has the utmost
contempt for the liquor business, and
that his language in condeminR II is
ALWAYS m st severe. He stated that
nearly all the criminal cases coming
before him were tile result of whisky.
he ~also.said t~hatIwhen a man know
inQly entered that business il was
prima facia evidence that he was a
dishonest man, and.-that bel. would
not hesitate to beat the government
out of the internal revenue tax If it
were possible for him to do so. This
is rather strong Language, but the
Judge only uttered it after careful
d%eliberntion. Not oulg did he score
the liauol business in the most bitter
terms, but he also let loose on the ex-
press companies that engage IN the
business Of delivering packages OF
whiskey C. O. d. at the express office,
and urged tue Q and jury If it knew
of d such cases TO tinn an indic'-
ment against tie offenders. The
Judge is earnest in his convictions,
and hisTpurpose is to condemn wrong
in any form, thus honoring the high
position which he holds. We believe
therefore. that he is just the KIDD Of
tyne Of a man that should fill the
Office of Federal Judge Il who Is
not afraid to speak the truth at all
times. His influence in the Northern
district of this state cannot help but
he for good. and in7time thesseed that
ha now sows will bring forth an
abundant harvest.

Mr.. Max Robinson. president of the
fire commission, states that there
seems to be a misunderstanding re-
garding the purpose of the special fire
levy. which will be voted upon at the
municipal election on May %. While
it Is generally understood that the
fund to be secured III this manner is
to be devoted exclusively to the fire
service of the city. it appears that
many persons h~el1eye that the money
is to 20 wholly to the maintenance Of
the fire equipment. This is an error
that Mr.. Robinson is DESTROYS If cer-
recting. The primary object of the
special tax is to cur N for the
purpose of laying e water pipes in
the city, especially on John and High
streets, and the APPROXIMATION will tie
devoted to these pressing improve
ments The improvement of the
water system of the city, and the adj
dition of new pines, is II of the
most important questions before the
people, and those persons who believe
in the forward progress of the town
will not hesitate to indorse the pro-
position by their votes at the num-
icipal Ell, elton. A vote for the special
fire tax will be a vote for progress.
