THE DRAIN PIPE MAN.

Every consistent plot, and every logical dis
course is constructed like a yarn ball, and If
one unwinds carefully he will find at the very
center of it the particular matter about which
it all was wrapped and which gave it form and
substance.
The Evening Sun will shortly publish criti-
cisms of 1.-The Servant in the House, from the
points of view of the pulpit, the school room,
the woman's movement and social-labOr; but
hazarding the possibility of anticipating these,
we cannot defer taking a lesson from what We
consider the very heart of 'The Servant III the
House, around which the plot was wound 1t
was the speech of the drain pipe man in the last
act.
We will skip lightly over the obtrusive fact
that he traced the trouble to dead mems bones
and cess pool under the church; though most
people might be found to agree that such is the
case, if permitted the privilege of mental reser-
vations as to the particular church they mean.
We refer specifically to his statement: ''There
is something wrong in this house in my line"
There is considerable social uncertainty to-
day, and thinking people are taking cognlzance
of it. There are many theories advanced as to
the cause; and not few are applying local
remedies to such ills as come under their direct
observation; but as the drain pipe man well
said, there is no use wasting time flushing the
drains. We must trace them to the end and see
where the outlet is.
We have DIR. Eliot representing the Unitar-
ians goodly sprinkling of Congregationalists
and heterogeneous crowd of -conformists
and free thinkers, heretofore generally CLASH
fed as skeptics who say the time has come
when humanity is able to do without the super
natural features of religion, which it has out
grown, and moral ethics can abide without the
prop of religion This body embraces great
scholars and an intellectual force to be reckon
ed with in the world.
On the other hand, the Christians-Ca Catholic
and protestant, Lutherans Cavinists and Ar
minians-drawn more closely together now
than ever in their history by the emphasis put
upon the common essentials of their belief by
this attack from the outside, Boldly assert that
the present day unrest, far from marking the
decline of Christianity, is but a recurrence of
the phenomenon attending the advent of Christ
on earth, and the vital force of his religion is
proven by his ability to shake the foundations
of society today just as he has in all 1900 years
preceding They assert that this turmoil and
disturbance are due to the inherently antagon-
istc elements of Christ and wrong in the world
And this assertion must give the world pause, as
coming from those, by the impetus of whose re-
ligion morality has been carried to its present
high state of development.
On the outskirts are little bands of transcend
entalists of various names and degrees, abb
sorbed in the fancifu realms of metaphysics,
taking no part in the grim struggle going on
about them.
But what of the Socialist He is neither a
dreamer nor a theorist. lie is worker and he

The ''Cowboy Reunion"

The Cowboys Reunion" was pulled
off according to schedule Saturday.
There was a tremendous crowd in town.
They seemed to swarm in from all parts
Of the county and they seemed to enjoy
themselves.
The show, however, was tame. The
tent room was far too small to accom-
modate the crowd and the ring space
was far too small for the "bronchos" to
perform. The riding was very good
but the waits between horses" with no
seating accommodations was monotonous.
All Of the prizes were won by the out
fit, excepting the cow pony race prize Of
$40 which was captured by Earl Strick-
land Of Mingona.
The only casualty was in the ladies'
race. The horse ridden by the wife ol
Oscar Walcott, one Of the managers, ian
away quitting the street at the mill and
running into hitched horse and buggy
behind the Lasswell building, throwing
the lady but not hurting her.
There was one fight on the street.
and several drunks but otherwise
the day passed off quietly and the out6
went away with better than 5000 cleal
money to the good.
Messrs. Still & Walcott and the mer
connected with the exhibition are gentle
manly in every respect and were not re.
sponsible for the disorder on the street
or the bad language in the tent, and the,
did the best they could to handle anc
entertain the crowd. They went from
here to Isabel where they will exhibit or
Saturday.

Pity the Poor Man

Lawyer Martin has another spam in
last weeks Cresset. all on account Of his
bad judgment in making foolish attack
on the Index and his ignorance Of the law
in the ballot printing. In his ignorance
and egotism he is to be piied. We have
quoted the law to him but he cannot
grasp it. He does not yet know that a
printer works under a clerks directions,
and he never will know it. We say
again that we printed the ballots orig
nally as ordered by the clerk and we after
ward took them back and reprinted them
on the clerk order. This is all we could
do under the law.
In this last spasm Martins stock in
trade is "Ananias." (he calls it "Annias },
liar" ETC.. and then threatens to sue us
for libel. If this is not a clear case Of
ignorance and egoism. what would you
call it2 Now who ied3 We asserted
that we told Mr.. Martin before printing.
just how the clerk had approved the bal
lot. He shouts ''Gar!" But it is a fact
that two days after the ballots were print
ed. J. P. Hall called on MI. Martin and
objected to the form Of the ballot and
even at that late day he thought the bal
lot was all night and expressed himself
in the following language: Il think our
people are intelligent enough to vote that
ticket and win on it just as it IS" Lat
er, in the city clerks Office, we remind
ed him, in the presence Of Mi. Hall and
others that he had approved the ballot
and he evaded it by saying, 81 did not
understand it that way" which was an
admission that we did consult him.
Does Martin intend to say that Mr.. Hall
is also Ear9 If not, isn't it proof that if
he approved the ballot when MIR. Hall
showed it to him that we are telling the
truth when we say that he approved it
when we told him of its formation2 Now
let the gentleman crawl out Of that hole if
he can.
Glover also forgets that he was city attor-
ney about four years ago; he even for
gets that he assisted in the nomination Of
the ticket this year and that he told us in
the same conversation in which he ap-
proved the ballot, that he discussed the
question Of a party emblem with the
members Of the caucus that nominated the
ticket and advised them that no emblem
was necessary. Is it any wonder then
that he is at sea on everything that per-
tains to this matter?
The personalities against the editor Of
the Index in which Mr.. Martin INDUCES
are not worthy Of notice. We consider
it an honor to be the object Of his putrid
wrath. Unfortunately he has a record
and that record-well the least said about
it the better for him.
We have proved every assertion we
have made. Wehave published the law
sustaining all we have done and clearly
proved that we have discharged our whole
duty. We have put our traducer in {
deep cavity and defeated him in ever,
assault he has made and we really pity
him.
So here lies Glover and his folly. Re
quiescat in pace.
