Tho ovldonoo wns furn ishod by two inidyiduals brought hero H for tbo purpose of getting oases, and H I tho opponouts of probibiticn bnvo H, mudo cnpltal of tho roport thut tboir H oputntion was, not tbo best. lo H oifsot this tbo oilloers of tho oity H bavo hold that it is lmposslblo to got H ml nl store of tbo gospol to engogo in H j this class of work, nud that tho record H of tbeso men is perhaps on 11 par with H, j thnt of others who ongago in this H j -t class of buslnuBH. H ' Tho individuals in quostion havo H 1 perhaps brought n purt of tho storm H f .on thomselves by their own Indlscro f tion. On tho othor huad tboro is n " $ cortalu olomout hero that tries to in- H tlmldnto all porsons ongagoud in tho H onforoomont of law, nud especially in H ' giving ovldonoo in tboso liquor cases.

Tliut tbo liquor will bo 1 sold nnywny and tbo oit bad just ns well rooolvo tbo roventio from licens ing; thnt tbo condition has not im proved undor prohibition, nnd that if tnouoy woro ns plentiful ns it wns threo years ago thoro would havo boon just aa muoh drinking. Tho socialists bnvo plaood a tlckot in tho flold und in tboir pint form doolnro in favor of tbo city reg ulntlng tbo mlo of intoxicants in such n way ns to romovo tho profit in handling from tbo illicit dealers nnd in some racasuro limiting its sulo. In all probability thoro will bo tho threo platforms in tbo flold and tho voters can toko their cboioo. Tbo groat mistnko our pooplo mnko is in allowing thomsolvos to bo worked into 11 frenzy Wo should roallzo that tho liquor quostion is nolthor n now ono nor ossontlally a local issuo. Tbo drink ourso is 0110 of tho great est ovils in tbo world today, and tho tight hns boon on for centuries in al moBt ovory quarter of tho glob. Tboro aro pooplo in almost ovory communi ty who aro interested in sprondiug tho evil for tbo snko of profit. Thoro aro others who beoomo willing tools on account of tbo nppetito tboy bnvo ho quired for tbo poison, nud thoro are yet another class whoso motivos are porfeotly houost and bonorablo, who eco no solution for tho problem in absolute prohibition. Guro should bo taken to orodit this class with sin cerity, and to pay duo regard to tboir toolings und ideas, for tboy nro tho ones that nro likoly to throw tho balnuoo of powor to ono sido or tbo other. It is not wiso to brand thorn with coward ico or insincority if tboy do not hco things exactly as you do. Wo boliovo it is possiblo to becomo too-arbitrary in tjieso matters and to do a groat deal moro harm than good for tho cause wo aim to furthor. It is often tho caso that n too vigorous attaolc makes sontimont for tho porson assailed, oven though his position may bo opposed to tho publio good. Zeal must not bo allowed to dothrono reason. Wo llvo in a groat and frco coun try. Tbo majority controls and wo would not bavo it otherwise What I wo cannot, curo,wo must ouduro, nnd in tho groat majority of cases moro coil bo accomplished by, .loading men ' than by aftomptiug to drlvo ortbrotr tlo thom. 6 In conclusion, wo wish with all tho forco at our command to dopri cato tho tondonoy towards lawlossuoss that seems to bo growing in tho com munity. Thoro is a duty wo all owe of good citizenship, to uphold and dofoud tho ofllcors in thd disohargo of duty. Tboro is altogether too mcub sympathy for tho law breaker. Wo dlect mon to ofllco and placo thom in ' tbo front and thou desort and loavo thom to tboir futo, A porson not iu timatoly acquainted with tho situa tion is not awaro of tho press uro that is brought against tboso oleoted to on forco tbo laws. Whon a caso goes into court tbo room is filled with sympathizers of tho accused, while tho stable, law-abiding portion of tho community is soarcoly roprosont ed. Tho result of this iufluonco is obvious and it requires a groat deal of courngo and stamina to deal out justice under such oiroumstanoos. It is not Buflloiont to elect men to ofllco and say sick-om 1 Tho moral support of ovory good oltlzou Is also neces sary. Iu tbo roughost mining camps of this western country tho conditions iu thlsrcspootls infllntoly bettor than it is boro. Many of you bavo boon iu tbo miuig oampB of oastorn Nevada and olsowboro and will boar us out in this stntomont. Lot a man thoro got drunk nud "run n muok," aud what booomos of him. Ho is taken in ohargo by an olllcur. If bo resists ho is knocked down und dragged to tho coll. Whon his trial Is callod bo stands up nud tokos his medicine. Nobody takos any purtioulnr notlco of him or cares what tho ponulty is, unless prompted by ldlo curiosity. Ono or two suoh lessons sullloo to convluco tho wuold-bo bad man that ho is no boro, and ho is glnd to llvo witbn tho laws. Hut bow is it hero? No sooner doos tho law-breaker got into tbo tolls than thoro aro a dozen follows on baud to go his ball, sympatbizo and coudolo with him aud ourso tbo offi cer who arrested him. Tho situation is rogrottnblo and It behooves ovory oitlzou hnviug tho In terest of tbo town and our valued In stitutions at hoart to tnko a dooidod stand on tho sido of law aud order I and frown down this sontimont that Is gotting root among us, wbllo thoro is yet timo.

Hut poison und "tanglefoot" P"!" would beoomo unnecowary if oaly pooplo would ndopt tlio 8iwp' mcn" surea nccosnsry to provent tbo brood ing of tbo posts. Wo ure botbored by ilios becauso wo obooeo to be thus nnnoyod; if wo liked, wecould get rid of thom nltogethor, suyB tbo Sat'irdny Evening Post. Already many stablo owners nro doing muoh to uuato tho nuisance Tboy bnvo lonrnod thnt n email quan tity of korosono used two or threo times a week will ontlroly prevent tho propugotion of Hies, thus making n groat dUrerenco In tho comfort of pooplo who dwoll in houses near by. An cxpondituro of 11 fow cents a mouth will accomplish tbo purpose Every stablo whero proper precau tious nro not nken is a fly batohory. Practically oil of tbQ flics are brod in stables. It is amazing that in theso days of oulightonment such a nuleuiico should boJporniltted. Hero is nil iiiEeot thnt causes moro discom fort to human bonigs than all 'othora put together, nnd which, in addition, is known to bo a enrrior of typhoid fovor nnd othor diseases. Yet though onsy of provontion, Its propagation is freely nllowod. Mosquitoos, whon tboy infest largo nroae, nro bard to don,l with; not so tbo flies. Tho latter in all probabili ty never go far from tbo stables in which they aro bred. From littlo footloss moggota tboy aro transformed in a fow days into tbo winged shapo and tbo first thing they want is water. Thoro Is nothing so thirsty as a Ayr it wants to drink nil tho timo. A saucer of poisoned wnter placed in a stnblo will destroy nearly every fly hatched in that placo. But tbo korosono method is easiest nnd most ofTootlvo. A sprinkling two or threo times n week will do tho buisness, klllig ovory larvn or pupa with cortalnty. Somo day tho adop tion of suoh measures in overy stablo will bo requirod nud rigidly enforced. Thon wo shall bo rid of tho plague for good ; epidemics of disoaso will bo less froquout; tbo screening of houses will bo rendered unnecessary, and a specimen of Musa domostica will bo so rdro as to bo regarded almost as a I curiosity. ., ' '" A Who's I Your A Tailor?
