None of tho state fair visitors went

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

and If this condition continues we
know tnat the outcome will bo bene

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

than twontytwo millions of dollars.
lias moro than two millions of dollars
in cash and ti bountiful crop soon to

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

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. The men of great

The men who have money do not pay
their share of taxes on tho money.
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

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

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

that we had finished in second place

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
