An Apology.

The Tribune feels that it owes the
police court justice an apology for
various remarks made relative to the
courts practice, which were anything
but complimentary to that depart
ment. Because Judge Spragins was
slow in proceeding against certain
abuses, and hesitated about divulg-
ing important information, we felt
justified in concluding that he was
in sympathy with the lawless ele
ment and possibly in their pay.
We are happy in being permitted to
make the statement that it is our
belief that the police court is con-
Quoted in the interests of justice, in
SO far as it lies with this court to
enforce its decisions. The court is
handicapped, however, and it is this
condition of things which at first
led us astray.
At the last session of the district
court, conclusive evidence conyicting
men, was presented to Judge Raper,
but the judge, (and no doubt wisely
counseled the withdrawal of the cases,
giving for his reasons, that in Fails
City jury would not convict" The
suits would be lost and needless
expense incurred, because it would be
impossible to find jury in Falls City
that would convict local man on any
evidence. If this is true, and we have
no reasons for questioning the state
ment, it reveals an alarming condition
of things in our city. 1t means that
justice can not be had,ev with the
help of the officers.
The police judge declares that in
many cases of known violation of the
statutes it is useless for him to
proceed against the culprits, since
they would appeal from his decision
and go free before jury of their fell
lows in the higher court. The fact
that Judge Raper advised against at
tempting to prosecute, is an indication
that he considered it impossible to
convict the offenders.
The officers of the law are helpless
because there's no public sentiment to
uphold their hands while enforcing the
law. This is a challenge to every
decent, law abiding citizen to identi-
ify himself in no half-hearted way
with the people who stand for law en-
forcement

WATER CRISIS APPROACHING.
MISSOURI PACIFIC WELLS NOT
WELDING GOOD WATER.
Consumers Weary of Vague Ru-
mors and the Jugglery With
the Two Old Wells.

Falls City's water difficulties are to
be visited upon the round house peo-
pie also. 1t is no doubt only another
illustration verifying the old law
that the sins of the fathers shall be
handed down indefinitely upon all
connections.
The Missouri Pacific, anxious to
secure sure water supply and not
being able to get satisfactory re.
ply from the city council, undertook
to provide a supply of their own.
They sunk two wells on their
own grounds, but with indif-
ferent results. In the one the
water contained salt, and in the 9TH
er it was charged with mineral to
such an extent as to make both unfit
for boiler use The company has
called off further prospecting for the
time being and will, no doubt en-
deavor to extract a contract from the
new city council. In the meantime
the city water department is keeping
up its jugglery with the two old
sites. One time it is the first ward,
and next Uncle Bits Bottom" Just
what the end of the game will finally
reveal is beyond human invention to
foretell. One thing is certain, how
ever, and that is that the citizens of
Falls City are getting restive. A
crisis is approaching. The time is
near when the people are going to
know They are weary of being fed
ON vague rumors and yaguer water.
Falls City can afford a good supply
of water and will not rest until she
gets it, Whatever the present in
tentions of the council and water
works commissioner, the people know
what they want, and will find way
for getting their wants supplied. If
it is true, as has so often been in
sinuated, that the city's plant Is a
lot of antiquated junk. then away
with the miserable rubbish and re-
place it with modern machinery and
have the interests of Fails City at
heart, and who have mechanical in
genuity enough to know the differ
ence between the operation of a
buzz saw and = saw buck.
