ToLsToI, the greatest of all Rus
slams, is no more. His death last
week removes from the world one of
ITS greatest writer's. His writings do
not appeal to all people, but they were
of such a character as to awaken the
Russian people more than any other
style or character could do. His work
~as among people that can truth
fully be said to be the tail end of our
present civilization. 1t was necessary
that his writings should be of a differ
ent style than that employed by the
other great writer's if he was to ac-
complish anything. The good his
writings and teachings will accom-,
plish cannot be measured at this time;
generations to come will be affected
by his work. A modern civilization
be be the result in time. The necessi-
ties of his time were great and Tolstoi
rose to the occasion as only few
great men of the Christian era have
done.

Prices of all kinds of food stuffs
are stated to have struck the tobog-
gan. Good old supply and demand
is for once on the side of the con
sumer. Those who take comfort in
the fact that the decline was almost
identical with the victory of Demo
cracy in different parts of the country
and insist that additional gains two
wears hence will lead to correspond
ing reductions in prices should re-
member that perhaps people will not
have the good jobs at the prevailing
good wages should their wishes come
true. 1t takes money to buy food, be
it ever so cheap. Brookings Press
How any one can see the action OF
supply and deman in the recent re
duction of prices is more than we can
understand. The only reduction
amounting to anything was in the
prices of meats and poultry. Does
anyone think for moment that the
supply of such food stuffs increased
within a week to such an extent as to
cause a reduction of 10 to Is per cent
in that length of time? The supply
and demand for those articles remain
the same today as two weeks ago. II
is our opinion that the reduction was
arbitrary, and more for the purpose
of allowing the packers to reduce thu
price to be paid the producers whilt
the heavy early winter marketing Il
in progress. We notice the reduction
in the price paid the producer il
greater than the reduction in ths

IT is pleasantly surprising to see
what harmony existed in the repub

past few weeks. All have been TOO
busy fighting the democrats to scrap
each other But, now that the cam

see who shall be the first to 'swatt'
some progressive republican because
he does not wear regular s'andup
stalwart collar -Egan Express.
So far as the Chief is concerned
Brother Lanning can possess his soul
in peace. In the future as in the past
this newspaper will probably speak
out in meeting whenever the spirit
moves and the occasion justifies and
it NAV become necessary to now and
then ''swat" some Individual or bunch
of individuals; but just at present,
with the election returns fresh in
mind, it would seem good politics to
get in shape to fight the democrats in
1912. And this advice could profit
ably be taken home by some of the
insurgent papers of this state-Iro-
quois Chief,
Judging from election returns, not
many republican papers will have far
to look for field in which democratic
gains were made this year. Right
here in Kingsbury county several
hundred republican voters cast d
ballot for one or more democrats, and
there will be some hustling to do il
the republicans want to save vote
for o. S. senator in the upper house
of our state Legislature.

In the making of the constitution
for the new state of New Mexico the
initiative was rejected and the refer
dun adopted. This, as some view it,
is the "safe and sane" constitution.
But if the legislature is to be entrust
ed with the exclusive law making
power, why not let the law stand?
The referendum is no more of club
to prevent foolish Legislation than is
the initiative a club to force the en-
actment of good laws sometimes
denied by Legislatures.

While last year our gross earn
ings showed an increase of about
$40 100000, it looked for time as if
this fiscal fiscal year year they would show de,
crease of from 100000 to $3, 900, 900,
but the indications now are that they
will be up to last years and the net
will be better-James j. Hill.
Mr.. Hill is one of the gentlemen
who insist that an increase in railroad
rates is necessary. He defends the
proposed increase on the ground that
it is necessary for Improvements so
that future increase in traffic c.tn be
handled. But look at the incon-
sistency of this man hill. Like great
many others who consider themselves
great, he thinks that anything he says
and does should be accepted by the
common herd as gospel. He goes on
the plan that the king can do no
wrong. Mr.. Hill admits that the net
earnings of his road in 1910 will be
greater than in 1909 His only de
fense of the proposed increase in
rates is that the roads must increase
their facilities. He wants the public
to pay for these Improvements through
Increased rates that the roads may be
able to handle a still greater tarffic at
the increased rate. In other words
he wants the public to buy new roads
and give to the stock holders of exist
ing roads and then allow the COM
panies to charge an increased freight
rate for the commodities handled over
the roads paid for by the people and
given to the railroad companies. 1t
would be just as reasonable to ask the
public to build new railroad system
and give it to some company and then
pay an increased freight rate over the
line the public had paid for and given
away. la all other lines of business
capitalists are content to furnish the
investment required to handle busi-
ness, and if the business increases
they are glad to put more capital into
a paving institution. The railroads
are asking the people to furnish the
additional Investment. Hill must
think the people are fools, 1t would
be as reasonable for farmer to force
the price of wheat to $500 a bushel
and then ask the public to buy him
another farm that he might increase
the raising of $500 wheat for the
benefit of his own pocket. If the
railroads need increased facilities to
handle an increased profitable busi,
ness, let them place more stock on
the market and use the proceeds TO
increase their lines.

9fan born of woman is of few days
Gays full Of women.
In his infancy, women trot him
npon their knees when he wisheth to
Ae in his cradle and think. They give
him hugs and kisses when he thirsteth
3or milk. And 10, when he hath grown
Msty and strong and his soul craveth
Daresses, they give him the merry
Aa-ha!.
In the days of his childhood he
eiseth to be spanked by nurse. At
sventide he saith his prayers in the
shadow of a slipper upheld by the
Aand that rocketh the cradle.
The days of his youth are darkened
because many women give him the
hnitten: and the years of his manhood
ore embittered because one woman
did not.
He goeth forth in the morning-to
ne used for breach of promise.
At high noon, still a man thought
Hadly harried, he seeketh refuge on
the altar; and behold, he emergeth
Arom the sanctuary but the half of a
homan.
He seeketh his den at night, and
Do, how the woman with the serpent s
kongue stingeth his ear!
He acquireth a mistress by-mar-
uage, and loseth her by divorce.
BY toll he accumulateth a pile, and
bath it halved by alimony. This he
nepeateth many times until he
bhinketh: Verify it were better to wed
3 rich grass widow and feed upon the
succulent green herbage all the days
If my life."
But 10, the widest pasture hath a
Gence, which soon becometh an offense.
Like a Gagged game cock, he pineth

10 PER CENT
TAX PENALTY
WEDNESDAY
PROPERTY OWNERS WHO HAVE
NOT PAID CITY TAXES SHOULD
DO so BY SIX O'CLOCK TUES.
DAY NIGHT.

Property owners who have not paid
their city taxes should do so by six
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon, June IA,
unless they want to pay an additional
ten per cent penalty. The penalty on
unpaid city taxes is already 3 3-4 per
cent, but beginning with June Is, the
penalty will be 13 3-4 per cent-or 10
per cent more than it is now.
City Tax Collector Whiting has been
busy all the past week in issuing tax
receipts, but he will probably be
rushed both Monday and Tuesday in
issuing receipts to persons who want
to escape the 10 per cent penalty.
All who are not paid by the time the
office closes Tuesday night will have
just ten per cent more to pay on
June 15
