1t is a safe prediction that Chief
of Police Brown will lose more votes
than he will gain by allowing saloon
men to violate state and city laws
with impunity. His hating, wavering,
webbing course as head of the police
department has lost him the support
of both the law abiding element and
that other element that holds the laws
in contempt whenever they are in
conflict with their lust for money re-
CARELESS of how it may be obtained.
Saloonmen who respect the law and
live up to it are disguised with the
lack of backbone shown by the chief
of police in trying to win the favor
of the less scrupulous and aw-abiding
saloonkeepers by giving them permits
sion to violate the laws of the city
and state.

Row Over Work Horses.
According to McGriff, he was late
yesterday in returning to the ranch
from a trip after water and when he
started to work in the fields in the af-
ternoon was taken to task by Hop

says Hopkins was threatening him

Griff says he struck out as soon as
he saw Hopkins fall and started for

ONE ASPECT OF THE THAW CASE

The country already begins to Won
der whether the Thaw trial is to be a
miscarriage of justice or whether it
will really try the question of Sle
legal responsibility of the defendant
for killing White. The gathering Of
evidence of mysteriols relations be-
tween the wife of the defendant and
the murdered man has begun earnest
ly, and with the wealth at the COM
mand of the defense WILL no doubt, be
prosecuted vigorously in the effort to
justify the killing. There are express
sions that White deserved all he got
There are counter opinions that Thaw
had lost his franchise to enact the role
of an outraged husband by agreeing to
a marriage subsequent to learning
certain other things upon which his
Indignation appears to have been
based In other words, the chivalry Of
Broadway, while agreeing that the de-
ceased should have been killed, doubts
whether Thaw was the man to do the
deed. The father of some girl led
astray would have been more romantic
in the role of avenger, according to
New York
The splitting of hairs over the means
of the taking off seems unworthy Of
broad cosmopolitan community like the
metropolis White should have been
killed? Then why not Thaw for the
avenger? The old New York stood for
Stokes, the slayer of Fiske, and was
never happy until he emerged from
prison and jointed the Broadway squad
again If Stokes was a hero, why not
Thaw?
Perhaps the most valuable result of
may shed upon the inner lives of a cir
Gle of New Workers who seem to have
rather more intellectual force than pigs
and rather less loyalty in their affec-
lions than dogs. If the white light can
be turned, through this case, upon the
moral perverts who infest the city, it
will be a service to civilization. Young
women are drifting toward New York
all the time. They want to succeed
in art, in music, in the drama, in some
way or another. Many of them are en-
tirely innocent. They are met on their
arrival and surrounded by a Gordon OF
sleek, honey-attering villains who pro-
coed with the elaboration of a big,
black spider operating upon a fly to
first enmesh, then ruin, then throw
them overheard for fresher victims.
The system is SO we'll known in some
portions of the greater cities that it
has ceased to cause comment. 1t is
accepted as a feature of the life of
the town." Whether the man White
was member of such a gang it would
be unfair to assert in the absence of
competent proof But of the gangs
existence there is no doubt, and of it's
general relation to this case and all
other similar cases there can be no
doubt. The duty of both the prosecu-
ton and defense in this case will be
uncompleted without a scathing expo
sure of the system of debauchery
which affects every father and mother
in the land, since in this country no.
body knows what are the dangers to
which his children may be exposed.

MILESTONES OF PROGRESS.

The annual messages of Mayor Hunt
since he entered the public service four
years ago show conclusively that he
has from the outset stood for the city's
growth, Improvement and progress.
The keynote of his policy as mayor
was sounded lin his first message to
the council in August, 1902, and most
of the improvements that he recon-
mended at that time have through his
wise counsel and leadership become re-
alities today. Each succeeding mes
sage breathed the same spirit of prog
ress, and largely as a result of the
mayors recommendations and efforts
the city has thrown off the outworn
and moss grown habiliments of big
country town and has taken on the
smart appearance and ways of a live.
hustling. growing city, whose popula-
ton during the Hunt administration
has already increased from a little over
ten thousand to fully twenty thousand.
and which is now forging ahead at a
rapid pace toward the fifty thousand
mark by 1910
No one claims for Mayor Hunt all
the credit for the marvellous growth.

Health and Police.
Il have previously mentioned that
we have the making of one of the love-
Hest cities in the northwest or any,
where else. Now eternal vigilance is
the price of all success, and a great
deal of work is necessary in the health
and police department. Streets and al
leys should be kept scrupulously clean,
ployed to remove everything offensive
placed in the streets or alleys by any
citizen. Our force at the present time
is inadequate In a great many in
stances housekeepers have no methad
of disposing of their garbage, and this
condition should be remedied without
any delay. Neither merchants nor any
other citizens should be allowed to
obstruct the streets and alleys with
boxes or debris of an unsightly char
acter. Wagons when not in use should
not be allowed on the streets and the
time has nearly arrived when it will
be necessary to bar trucks and other
vehicles for hire from making their
stand on paved streets.

Condemns Gambling.
Il desire that my attitude towards
gambling in all its forms be plainly
understood and if it exists within the
city 1 shall demand that the neces-
sary steps be taken to drive it from
our midst. There is not one redeeming
feature about the whole miserable
proposition, neither is there one good
word that can be said in favor of it.
