Your support earnestly solicited. Fiinn K. Mai'iikr. None of tho state fair visitors went up in tho air last week. Some may have been down in the month because the machines were out of commission. Now that ii half doin women la Paris have broken t lieirunklcs because they won- hobble skirts wo piosumo that wooden legs will bo all the go among the society women of America. Tho results of tho stale base ball league clearly demonstrate that u team composed of good fellows will not ul- . . - t. ..I ,! i ways win tno penniuu. ucu vmuu surely should learn ono lesson from this season's playing and that is the Lest of players have no business on the diamond when soaked with liquor or dead from loss of sleep To retain audi players long on a team is unfair to the otlior players, tho fans and the city. To play good ball a man must be at hi, best and when every player Is at his best the game is a laudablo one. At least one society has taken up our suggestion lolatlve to the re districting of this city into three wards. We have contended for some time that an action of this kind would have decided advantages over the pres ent system. Wo expect to bo present at that meeting and we would urge tho mayor and city council and all citizens interested in the wellfaro of the city to be. on hand because the arguments presented there both pro and con will bo well considered before presented. All the legal features will bo presented as woll as the" economic nud social. Tills society may take tho place of tho town meeting which we advocated sometime since. The fact is our relations to one another and to the city would bo greatly bet tered if wo could get together occass ional and talk over our civic pro blems. The way Is open, we. should take advantage of it Wo welcome the systematic over hauling of our electric light and water systems. We welcome tho appearance of economy, and Improvement. There Is no reason In the world why our two systems should not produce a protlt. Thero are customers enough here to warrant a good protlt and if any pri vate corporation. had charge of these systems It would uiako It pay. The city ollicliils and tho new superintend ent eem to bo workjng in harmony and If this condition continues we know tnat the outcome will bo bene (loial. The every present water pro blem Is still the bugaboo but wo be lieve that It is tho duty of this administration to settle this question once and for nil. It may still be necessary to pipe the spiiugs ami spend live or six thousand dollars but we favor any measure which will in sure plenty of good water without any moio delay. A man who owned a good farm, had plenty of money in the bank and who persisted In keoping his family living in a dugoiit would be considered nig gardly. What is true of an individual is true of u commonwealth. Webster county has property valued at more than twontytwo millions of dollars. lias moro than two millions of dollars in cash and ti bountiful crop soon to be harvested yet it persists in using a dilapltated wooden structuie for a courthouse, Why'.' In othor words if you were worth ono hundred thousand dollars would you hesitate to spend three hundred dollars for a dwelling house? If there were no women, men would have uoobject in life: theirnuistaches would cense, to Interest them; they would not care a Chinaman whether their collars were ironed or not; ihey would have nobody to nurse them when they hail the toothache, or to keep them from believing they were going to dio when an old-fashioned stoinache-nolio nad the grip upon them. There would bo nobody to take for ico cream, nud no small edi tion of tlesh and blood to hug. Tliete would bo nobody to fight against be ing kissed and then take to it as natural as the cat does to cream. Most important of all there would be nobody to write against, to complain of and to love with all your heart and soul. Without her man would never get to heaven and without them they would never have a taste of the other place on earth. So, if man has any sense whatover, he'll put his arm around the woman he is the fondest of, thank tho good Lord for her, and wonder, as she does, what in tho world he would do without her. The Real Problem. The great problem confronting the people of Nebraska is not the liquor question. It is tho question of equality in tax ation. There is shameful inequality in tax ation in Nebraska.

Millions of dollars are on deposit in the banks of Nebraska, and yet not ten per cent of tho deposits ever getj under tho eye of tho assessor. It Is to the shame of Nebraska statesmen that they have been unablo to dovise a plan for more equitable taxation in this state. Tho largo cit ies In the stato are supposed tocoutain the bulk of tho wealth of the state, and yet in the largo cities the taxation rate per capita is sometimes one hun dred per cent bolow tho per capita rate in tho agricultural districts. Let us not pay all attention to the election ol a legislature to deal with the liquor problem. Let us try to elect legislators who will havo wisdom and courngo to etinct legislation to place tho people on an equality in the matter of taxation. It Is a shameful fact that in Ne braska the great burden of taxation Is borne upon the shoulders of the small home-owners. This Is wrong. In stend of penalizing the men who build homes, the law should encourage them. Instead of commanding the assessor to look into the bins nud barns of the farmers to get every bushel of grain on tho tax rolls, the law should compel tho assessor to look into the bank accounts, nud thus get every dollar of money ami credits on the tax list. Some day this present system of un equal taxation will breed trouble in Nebraska. Let us correct tiio evil be fore the day of trouble. -Columbus Telegram. OyrTown-A Pull loftct her. There is no room for doubt but that I our town, with the united etl'orta of its enterprising citizens, can greatly' inciease its business and enhance the I value of property. Everything ludl cates a forwaid movement. Our new electric light superintend ent, D. II. Iticli, is rapidly informing himself as to the condition of our sys tem and our need1-. He is taking hold with considerable vigor and the Chief expects much from hisadmiuistration. Ho has already reduced the voltage from 128 to lip thereby reducing the strain on tho light in the down town district which alsoreduces the amount of coal consumed. A transformer will be installed in Jie Piatt addition which will give that pait of town ex cellent light while It takes away the heavy load at the power house. This will boa grcat&avlugon the machinery and will extend the life of our plant iudefluately. Mr. Kioh hah also .pur chased coal for the? station at 83.75 per ton while we havo been paying $7.00 for all coal used ff his adminis tration promises to be ono of economy and our citizens generally will be pleased to learn that there will be re trenchment all along the line. Red Cloud finished the base ball season by dropping two games to Superior Friday and Saturday. When the final score was made in the leRgue and the averages determined we found that we had finished in second place from the bottom. Ilastingsistheonly city that finished in the three hundred column nud she found hersell the Ne braska State League talleuder. We can console ourselves with the rellect ion that it might havo been worse. Like St Louis we had tho best batters but errors, cripples and luck hnvo been ngniiut ns all tho season. Many n game was lost by a single score. However handling a league team w as new business for us and this first year has been valuable In that we have had considerable experience which will be of great benefit another jear. With the lessons of this season well learned we will bo in a condition to enter the season next year with confidence. All l'he hi'"-h I ""-' eU'lVS '" Hie b"P" will undoubt- Miner Br The Big Store. Co. A signal democratic victory occurred in Maine this week. "The best turill" bill ever passed" did not seem to suit (he people of Maine. For the tlrst time in yoars the dcmociats captured tho entire stato. Now will wo hear the republicans say "As goes Maine so goes tho nation?" This simply shows that even tho slow east Is tired of the control of tho special Interests. Cannon, Aldrich and Taft no doubt contributed much to the defeat of their party. It Is about time that people should come to their souses and oeuso voting tho predatory inter ests bags of gold. Tlie democrats have reason toi'cjoioe at this victory. Hur ra ti for Maine Don't forget that youv neighbor though ho differs from you politically may lie just us honest In his convict ions as you, that tills is a fieo country whore fieedouiof opinion is one of the1 would Visit Yiur Schools. You hear a great deal about our schools, talk much about thorn, think some about thorn, and peradvonturo wonder not a little moro about thom thun If they were in China.

How many ever otYer a word of oncouragc inent to teacher or scholar and let thom know by your presence, at lenst occasionally, in the school room that you are uninterested party, really de sirous that they should prosper, and that you have their best welfare at heart" How many hnve personally recognl.ed the head of tho school, he who has tho training of the mind and tho building of and establishing the character of your boy or girl? How many have kindly counseled and ad vised with him, showing you aro with him In tho great work, wishing him well, and cheering with a "God speed", how few mothlnks, can an swer in' the afllrmtitivo, and yet you ofton hear of the school and feel that It is not what it should be, and what you wish it was. Will it help it to be constantly finding fault, continually growling and denouncing it with al mostt every breath'.' And when some ti i vial or oven gravo mistake is made will it better matters to pompously parade tho same ho fore tho public Things are not often jtist as we like to have thom, and sin- standard of morality that exists is inducing many to look this way with a view of locating. Our excellent school is a feature greatly appre ciated by the best people of tills sec tion, and in u proving nttracthe feat ures Asa trading nndshipping point our town is already ahead of any place in the county or this section of coun try. No place of its size in the county receives greater shipments of mer chandise or sends out more live stock and grain. Our business houses are being transformed into beautiful blocks, and residents into modern dwellings and cottages. Now as many are thinking and talk ing of coming hither to locate, lot nil givo them words of encouragement and hearty welcome to this goodly land of peace and abundance. En courage those who are worthy whether they have capital or not. Labor is worth money. Those who havo money will buy lots, build houses or remodel old ones. Lotus work and stimulate every legitimate enterprise oy giving it all the friendly encouragement we can, and unite our industry, intelli gence and capital in a common cause for the good of our town. Let us cultivate a public spirit and talk less and work more. Encourage our local authorities in making improvements Speak up, speak well, talk encourag ingly of our town and Its bright prospects. It is these many little considerations that makes a town grow.
