GET INTO LINE.

Poker Flat was latter some
body" following the loss of sew
cral thousand dollars, two valu-
able horses, and prominent citi-
zen. So there were rounded up
Mr.. Oakhurst, the gambler, "Uncle
Billy" a confirmed drunkard, the
"Duchess" and "Mother Shipton,"
and together they We're started
on the road to Sandy Bar.
The point Of relation to the af-
fair at Poker Flat and that of con-
ditions prevailing at this time in
many communities of the United
States is brought out in a para
graph by Bret Harte, when he
tells us that "Pokcr Flat was cX-
periencing q spasm of virtuous
reaction, quite as lawless and I'M
governable as any of the acts that
had brought it on
Something of that form of
psychology was apparent in a re-
cent lynching at CO. linsville, Ill.,,
and has been in evidence
throughout the country, mostly
because The law has been indif-
ferently enforced.
1t has cropped out in our own
state because the people have
become convinced that there are
too many office-holding poll
ticialls, who are playing for votes
rather than for a strict enforce
mcnt c! the law.
1t is well to guard against
carrying the "spasm of virtuous
reaction so far that injustice
will be done. Altogether, the best
way to prevent this is for each
citizen G: this community to set
his house in order, and not to set
his will in resistance to that of
the people.

be any dead mutton. 1t would be
fiercer than a wild dill pickles with in

And yet this corrugated mutton flat

always hailed by the poets as a sure
