ON TRIAL.

The board Of county commissioners meets next week and during this
the saving of who shall and who shall not have licenses to conduct the
public drinking places which are to operate in this county will be determined
No doubt there will be plenty Of applicants and the board will have no small
task in sorting the sheep from the goats.
Also the restrictions under which these places will operate, where not in
an incorporated town, will be passed by the board.
The town council of Cottonwood, til said, has passed a very stric
ordinance which will regulate the drinking places over there in a way that
cannot help but meet with the approval of the people
Grangevile has also passed regulation ordinance, and while IT is not IS
strict as I'm would like to have il, has the advantage Of not promising every
thing and thus making it next to impossible to carry out
A hurried reading Of the ordinance might lead one to believe that those
who will embark in the saloon business in this city aren not to be placed under
very strict regulations. However, a careful perusal of it shows that after all
it is most sane in its intent and fair to the public and at the same time does
not work a hardship OF the man who desires to conduct a clean, decent bust
ness.
The Grangevile saloon will have the curtains down, will be in a room
free from distractions and we'll lighted, there will be no music or hilarious
conduct, the closing hours will be reasonable, and there will be n o rendezvous
fol the tough element. Under the present ordinance a man who desires can
operate a saloon that will pay a reasonable sum N his business and at the
same time hold the respect of the community in which he lives.
IT, either in Grangevile OF Idaho county, some Of those who are the
recipients Of licenses, should prove that the manner in which they conduct
business is not in keeping with the promises Of the business lei who issued
the statement during the local option campaign in which the voters we're asked
to return Idaho county to the wet column with the assurance that conditions
would be better and regulations would exist, there should be no hesnancy in
asking the board or city council to revoke the license and put the man out Of
business. Idaho county was voted wet because Of the benefit tis thought
would accrue to the community and not to any one individual or bunch Of
liquor dispensers
Those of us who favored the wet cause those who made the promises, are
on trial and if we desire to settle this liquor question for all time to come, we

factory one, and the same people are today watching the sucoe O failure of
the regulated saloons voted for and promised. Let III bear in mind that
"eternal vigilance is the price Of liberty" and keep our eyes wide open on
those who are engaged in the liquor business from now on.

DEVELOPING vERMONT'S "WHlTE

One of the most gratifying evil
dences of vermont's industrial awak-
ening is the extent to which people in
all parts Of the state are becoming
aroused to the vast possibilities of
conserving and developing our supply
Of white coal.
We have hitherto noted the splendid
example for all Vermont set by the
progressive and public spirited people
Of Morrisville through the creation Of
an artificial lake that is not only at
to make Morrisville an attractive sum
mer resort.
The development of power on the
Black River Is thus described by the
Springfield Reporter in its commend
able campaign of publicity for one Of
the liveliest towns in Vermont
"Springheld's white coal resources
are about to be developed In thor
oughly scientific and economic way by

in the village of Windsor in the beauti-
full valley OF the Connecticut, and TO
bring it back to its own.

building should be treated with the dis

long been entitled.

NATIONAL HYMN FOR CHINA.

(From the New york Tribune)
1t now becomes the duty of the patT
ols of China to formulate national an.
them and several scholars are said to
bo busy on the task The japanese ma
tional anthem was the product Of the
Japanese revolution, and if we may
Judge from the following translation IL
has some distinct poetic merit:
Until this grain OF sand
Tossed by each WaVclers freak,
Grow TO Toe "A cloud-sir peak,
Towering above the land;
Until tins deWN flake,
Beading this blossoms gold
swell this mighty lake
Age upon age untold,
JOY to Joy manifold,
Add for our Sovoroigns sake.

meets will take their time says The
Dundee Advertiser There is no hurry
and ii would he a pity to spoil the
work by prccipitancy.
