We are in receipt of an un
signed communication from one
who claims to have been a con
tributor to the street fair. We
do not publish it for two reasons.
We will not publish sland
erous articles nor do we pub
lish any letter without the signi-
tare of its author attached.
Please bear this in mind when
writing communications to this
paper.
We heard a little philosophy
from a small boy at the tennis
courts the other evening. Four
boys were playing when a ball
was struck towards one of the
players. His partner ran in front
of him , struck the ball and won
the point. He objected to his
partner playing his game and
said so. His partner replied ,
"Well I won the point and you
would have lost it. " To which
the little fellow replied , "I'd
rather lose my own point than to
have you win it for me. "
The slot machines disappeared
within twenty-four hours after
'County Attorney James served
notice of pending prosecutions.
We do not believe the men who
have been operating these gamb
ling devices had any desire to
violate the law. The } ' were op
erated because the city adminis
tration permitted it. We do not
know that James is the member
of any church , nor that he sings
in a choir , but we do know that
.his oath of office invested him
with a responsibility which he is
"doing " his best to bear as becomes
an lionest man. He is entitled to
the encouragement of every man
who believes in the enforcement
of the law.
There seems some danger of
the country contracting "Japani-
tis. " There seems to be a pre
vailing impression that whatso
ever is Japanese is right. There
is no doubt that the little brown
men are wonderful in war , but
their right to be a great power
can only be determined by their
conduct in times of peace. The
.great tea importers of the east
say that a Chinaman always keeps
his word and observes the obliga
tions of his contract , but that a
Jap will never toll the truth if it
is possible for him to lie. That
with him a contract has no bind
ing force. Rev. James Mailey
who was chaplain of the 1st
Nebraska regiment in the Philli-
pines , spent several weeks in
Japan ; he related to the writer
at one time that there was not a
Jap employed in the banks of
Tokio , all of the employees being
Chinamen. The reason for this
was the utter untrustworthiness
of the Japanese. If such stories
as these are correct , Japan will
fall far short of the essentials o
a world power. N o eotintn
whose racial characteristic ii
dishonesty and unreliability cai
hope to maintain an advancec
position among the great nation
of the world. Of course the gov
eminent of Russia is unspeakable
but there is a great and yet to b
answered question as to whethe
Japan is entitled to the wondet
ful place given to it in the mind
of the American people.
LOCAL POLITICS.
The question as to the per-1
soncl of the next county oflicersl
seems to be much in the air.
There are several candidates for
each ofl'icc und each man who
presents himself is ( iiialified for
the place he desires to fill. As
one prominent republican said
last-week , "I wish that we might
nominate them all as it is a diffi
cult matter to choose between
such excellent candidates. The
latest candidate to announce him
self is Professor Hoff , of Hum-
bold I , for county superintendent.
The Tribune is authorized to an
nounce t h a t Superintendent
Crocker will not be a candidate
for re-nomination. Professor
Hoff is a high minded gentleman
of unusual culture. His whole
life has been spent in school work
and his qualifications for the
position to which he aspires will
be acknowledged by ever } ' school
man in the county. Superinten
dent Crocker , who will retire , has
made one of the most efficient
officers the county has ever had.
He will probably return to the
active school work in which he
has always been a distinctive
success. One thing is sure , out
of the splendid material presented
the party can and will choose a
ticket of acknowledged excellence ,
and one that will doubtless be
triumphantly elected at the next
general election.
The News says The Tribune is
against the city government. We
arc not unmindful of the com
plaint intended , but we wish to
respectfully b u t emphatically
deny the statement. We plead
not guilty.
The democratic wingof the
republican party under the lead
ership of Miles ct. al. , is working
overtime selecting the candidates
to be nominated by the republi
can convention in Stella. No
concern is felt however , by
the republicans who vote the re
publican ticket. It reminds us
of a story of a very large man
who went to a lawyer's office
with his very small wife seeking
a divorce. The man related that
his wife would occasionally abuse
and strike him. The lawyer
said , "I do not understand why a
huge man like you will permit a
little woman like your wife to
strike you. " "Oh , " replied the
man , "it kind a pleases Mandy
and it don't hurt me none. " It
probabl } ' pleases these patriots
to select our candidates for us ,
but to all outward appearances
it "don't hurt us none. "
