It seeais to u that our baiiieas en and faraicrj shoald aiake an ef fort to bring about a fystew of irriga tion for Webster county. It is cer tainly the only wean b; which the great agricultural problvai can be solved, inasmuch as the rainfall can not always Ik. depended upon to give the soil a suficient moisture that will cope with the blighting effects of the hot winds which are quite prevailctit in this sectiou. Now is the time to act and if our farmers and business men will co-opcratc in this matter it will soon be brought to a sat factory climax, and the fattre of eropr- will soon be a thing of the past The peo ple cannot afford to let the imortsat matter rest idly, but hoild at once pnt forth the proper efforts to make it an assured fact. A company should be formed immediately for that pnr poec. A meeting shonld be called at Red Clend to discuss the matter not later than February. Reniem1cr that irrigation is the salvation of the coun try. "It is a general caase for lamenta tion on the part of many," says the Kdgar Post, "that few newspapers in these days, especially local weeklies, express decided opinions on subjects cf general discussion, more particular ly matters touching home politics and local affairs. The question is often asked why it is that newspapers are not more generally outspoken in all their beliefs. The answer to this question in a word is: people don't want that kind of paper. Some will insist that this is not a faet, and that a far as they arc concerned they want to see a paper express decided opinions. This is andeniably true as long as the editor agree with them, but as soon as he rant ceunter to their cherishel views no matter how trifling the difference, there is a decided fall ing off in their admiration for news papers with opinions, and the chances are the next move would be the seek ing of the ofice with the blood eurd- ling request to : stop my paper," or fwrhaptrtha more dastardly revenge of secretly working against the busi ness interests of the pajicr for the simple reason that the editor had opin ions of his own and was not afraid to express them. This i not true of all men by any means, but every commun ity has enough of this element to make the rule applicable as a general principle. There it ao question but a maaly straight forward course is the one to pursue, but at the same time the actioas of many who erhaps do not suspect of themselves, put a pre mium on hypocracy and by their deal ings with men tacitly encourage de ceit and double dealings. This does not app.3 alone to newspapers but to every line of business."

Win a the instinct of revenge is absent, there is a decided distinction in the haman heart to cause death, even by legal methods. A very in teresting case of this jvtermiHed re volt of the mind against taking life is that of Judge George Stipp of the circuit court in an Illinois district. It became his duty to pass sentence on the Ottawa murderer. Ford, and. ia the effort to do it, his mind gave away. Day and night he fancies that he is being pursued by men who try to take h;s life. This man has been a distinguished criminal lawyer and has debated on questions involving the life and death of many men. As judge he has been highly esteemed, the only criticisms being made on him were on account of his manifest reluctance at all times to pass the death sentence. This re luctance was increased by the execu tion by hanging of a relative ia another Btatc. This kinsuan was conclusively proved innoscci.t at a later day. of the crime for which he was hanged. After thi the judge was continually tormented lst he should condemn to the gallows some innocent map. Probably this feeling is much more common among judges than is generally known. A great many sheriff's arc tormented with it. Not long ago a sheriff died at an ex ecution from heart trouble. TLc whole scheme of capital execu tion docs violence to human nature. A "" civilisation win reject it. a ' wiser woAti ,f government will refuse to couMiiit judicial murder. Kx. Draarlea' tab life. On last Friday, Thos. J. Beal, one of the oldest settlers of Webster coun ty, departed this life after many years of usefulness. A few months ago he left his city home aad went on ta his farm near Red Cloud for the purpose of looking after his interests more carefully, and all went along nicely until a few days ago when he took a severe cold, and being of a rugged dis position thought but little of it. al though a man of almost three score add seven, but it began growing worse day by day, and becoming alarmed he called the family physician, but too late, aad finally the disease overpow ered him aad ''death claimed him as t ' his own."
