LOCAL OPTION COLUMBIA.


A native digging IN the hills Of Af-
rica found a piece of coal. Buried
deep in this dirty piece of coal was
a diamond An English sailor, realiz-
ing that the mineral was worth more
than the market price of the coal, pur-
chased the specimen.
A companion of the sailor argued
with him, saying he had paid too much
for a small piece of coal. that now as
he had bought it he had better make
good use of it by burning it in the
stove. The sailor refused to do this,
and afterwards had the satisfaction OF
seeing this same piece of coal sell for
$1,000.
In the early history of Missouri. set
tiers coming up the Boon's Lick coun-
try founded Columbia. Those brawny
fearless men saw vision in the fu-
ture when they started the settlement
of what is now one of the first towns
in Missouri
This country town rapidly in
creased in population. In and around
it many distilleries were established
or II
was the diamond i'll the rough, the
dirty piece of coal This production
of liquor continued until a law was
passed regulating its manufacture
Then. for many years Columbia was
without saloons and its population
continued to grow. The University
Of Missouri was established here and
this little town became a city, draw
ing students from all parts of the
state Again some of its citizens
thought the town would be better off
with saloons. Saloons were tried for
a number of years until five years ago
the citizens of Columbia voted them
ont by small majority. Again last
spring the question whether saloons
should be permitted came before the
people 1t was voted down by a
larger majority. This showed beyond
a doubt. that the voters thought Col
umbia had improved without saloons.
Compare the Columbia yesterday
with its dirt streets, its poor lighting
system. its board sidewalks, and its
long criminal list, with Columbia to-
day. with miles of paved streets, an
excellent lighting system, block after
block of granitoiG sidewalks and its
fewer criminals. Was Columbia
good place for citizens of Missouri to
send their children to when saloons
were allowed? Is Columbia good
place now?
AS the mineral to the sailor, Col
umbia is to it's citizens and the citi-
zens of Missouri His diamond was
worth more after ridding it of other
mineral. and Columbia is better off
without saloons.

GOSSIP ABOUT
REAL ESTATE
Good Week in Suburban
Sales Dealers Pleased.

Although the religious nature OF
the week has caused a slight suspen-
eion in several branches of the
business world, there was no no.
ticeable affect upon the rapidly
growing real estate market, the deal
ers report. Every indication pointed
to one Of the most successful weeks
OF the spring, with a gratifying in
crease In the number Of transfers re-
ported In suburban property. Real
estate Of this nature is getting In
der way, ever agent admits, and the
dealers In property of this nature
are particularly sanguine over the
outcome of the present year.
Improved property in the heart
of the city is also under way, and a
number Of deals reported closed or
on the verge of consummation. A
number of beautiful residential prop
critics in the heart of the city have
changed hands this season, and it
further indicates the desire OF bust
ness men or men of leisure to secure
a home In this rapidly growing city.
There appears to be always a buyer
for improved property, Just as soon
as 1t Is launched upon the whirltng
market.
Back to suburban property again.
These beautiful spring days have en-
famed a longing in the hearts of
many to own a home on the outskirts
Of the city, within the five cent troll
ley limit. and the exodus to these
districts during the week end, for
home seeking purposes, can be con-
sidered enormous.

sued during March. Mr.. Mcnamara
and most architects state plans were
made for a number of large jobs
during the past month, but applica-
tons for permits for most of the
large ones have not yet been made.
The architectural firm of Gold
berger & Greisen seems to be one
Of the busiest in this section in

GAMBLING.

We heartily second the efforts of
Recorder Kehoe in wiping out all
forms of gambling in this city. He
has done well In placing the heavy
fine upon a saloonkeeper in whose
place gambling has been allowed.
Judging from reports, however, this
mar is not the only offender and we
believe that a little vigilance on the
part of the police officers would eth
err stop a great deal of the card play
ing and dice shaking, or it would
bring some of the yiolators before
the recorder.
The only ~regrettable feature Is that
we have not a Board of Excise that
will back up the recorder and the
police in this work by refusing to
renew any license to a saloonkeeper
who has been found guilty of allow
ing gambling in his place.
But the saloonkeepers are not the
only ones who are running the lives
of many young men of this city.
The EVENING NEWS has received
letters calling attention to the fact
that one of the gambling places we
had reference to last fall Is again In
full operation, and runners are out
on Smith street nearly every night
urging the youths of the city to go
to the rooms for a quiet game.
These places were closed prompt
ly enough last fall after the EVEN
ING NEWS had called attention to
them and there is no reason why
they should be in operation now.
The local authorities can close these
places promptly II they decide to do
80. The people look to the officials
for action.
