Sibscription 1 a Year in Advance
As one looks out over the situation
in McCook superficially it may be
the conclusion is painfully brought
home that perhaps the Almighty is
temporarily forgetting this city so
excessively full of fight and impu
dence are 3ome of the elements which
naturally ought to be in sneaking
hiding But The Tribune will in
dulge in the prophecy that within
few years thi9 community which
now seems to be in such extraordi
narily arrogant control of the saloon
this city in which people on the
public streets do not escape insolence
and insult and threats because of
their so called cranky ideas of
temperance will be without ono sa
loon and the pinching shoe will be
on the other foot And this leads us
to the further expression of faith
that the present conduct and atti
tude and language of the saloon
interests in this city will not in the
least retard but the rather will
hasten the day and will logically
result in the delivery of a severer blow
when it comes

are inimical to the financial interest of the city
Fifth We re affirm our declarations of 1907 and 1908 as to
the municipal ownership of the citv water works plant and nrw tr
city authorities to continue a vigorous defense of the case now pend
ing in the supreme court of the state wherein the McCook Water
Works Company is seeking to annul the present water ordinance
and we further declare that the persistent refusal of that company
to comply with the present city ordinance and its impositions and
unlawful discriminations render it imperative that the citv author
ities proceed with all reasonable dispatch to build and construct the
municipal water plant heretofore voted by the voters of the city and
that such plant should be adequate not only for the present needs
of the city but should provide for its future growth and should be
extended to South McCook and to all the additions within the city
limits
