TAXATION WITHOUT REPREsEN.

In the name of the cultured and re-
fined women of this communicative
non-voting residents of Wayne county,
allow me to call the attention of the
active voters to discussion of several
points Of interest involved in the cleo
ton of last Friday. .,=.=
The editor of the Item, Richmond
Tiger of the Press, despite his clawing
Of his neighbors, has left unscathed
that plain fact of cool reason that the
complete elimination of the saloon
from any community tends to the pro-
motion of public peace and welfare.
Boil dow into few bitter drops all
the venom and fierce invective of the
past few weeks, is there aught of truth
or permanence in that frothy brew:
Even when considered dispassionately,
aside from its moral aspect. the saloon
is recognized as menace to the good
order Of any city. It is upon this
ground that our brothers of the south
who favor the use of stimulants in
their own homes. have yet voted the
saloon out of their borders.
That youth and human weakness
make mandatory in all quarters this
prohibitory safeguard is likewise es-
tablished in the minds of those who
are struggling to elevate the standards
of right living and thinking among the
masses.
And yet this national wave of pro.
gress that might have swept clean our
beautiful city. has. instead, dashed
against the effectual barricade of the
interests of the saloon, and been de-

is mistake. No one claims the right

The following article from the
Denver Field u Farm gives a fair
idea of conditions elsewhere.
The shortage of hay is appalling
in most parts of the range country
and even with the coming of new

from want of forage. 1t is not a
question Of price now but a matter
of getting the hay at almost any

their cattle out ana hundreds Of

tion while Pinchots limitations in
Rio Blanco county have had very
serious results in the production of
winter forage. Some of our cattle
men shipped in hay clear from
Missouri for Nebraska has none to

covered with snow longer than for
many years and feeding has been

Ranchmen along the Gunnisnn.
west of town and those who have
homes on the Island, are worried
over the probable course Of the
river when the floods start. For
wears the current has been eating
into the left bank just above the IN
take Of the fish hatchery stream, and
an unusual rise woald precipitate
the whole river through that slou gh.
That would mean washing out of
the hatchery and destruction of an
immense amount of other property.
Now j. the time to fix 1t. and those
Interested are at work building a
swing dam opposite the Bates ranch
to divert the side stream back into
the main channel. This is a matter
of such importance that the whole
town might well take a hand in
helping. 1t viii only require about
a thousand dollars to construct a
safe dam.
