One year $1.50 months .75 Three months. .40 THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1901. A GOOD PROPOSITION. Probably a good many fool bills are being introduced in the legislature, but some are getting on the calendar that are all right. One of the all right bills is the one to repeal the law making the office of city marshal and street commissioner elective, and placing the naming of these officers in the hands of the mayor and council.

Some wise legislator a few years ago thought he was doing a great stroke of statesmanship by taking this matter out of the hands of the mayor and council and giving the voters a chance at it. The scheme looked beautiful on paper. It looked more democratic-like getting back to first principles, and as A matter of fact it works well enough if the people happen to guess right. But the people, like mayors and councils, are prone to guess wrong; and unlike mayors and councils, when they have guessed wroug they can't take it back for a whole year. If they elect 8 lazy and incompetent marshal and street commissioner, he CAll go his own gait and pertinently ask the mayor and council, and the people too, what they are going to do about it.

This is another C188 wherein theory and practice do not agree. The marshal and street commissioner should be appointed by the mayor and council. Then if he proves worthless he can be dismissed and another man put in his place. Senator Lucien Baker tells a good story on himself. When his son had completed his education at Ann Arbor be announced his intention of going into the newspaper business.

"Why don't you come into my office and read law?" the senator asked. "Because father," the young man replied, "I don't believe an honest man can be a lawyer." We notice that our talented young friend, Senator Fitzpatrick, speaks in a jocose vein about going into the trust busting business with regard to the salt question. He couldn't possibly do a better stroke than to be serious on that point and push it with all his might. It sounds kind o' funny to hear members of the legislature "resoluting" about the Leavenworth outrage. They are equipped to go further than that.

We take it for granted that Mr. Praisewater, member of the Missouri legislature from Andrew county, doesn't belong to the majority party. Population of Nemaha County.

Flower, 14 W. F. Mitchell, St. .24 Sabina Gallagher, 30 Parties who are in the babit of criticising daily and country newspapers in general upon every possible occasion, should remember that newspapers, like individuals or other institutions, are sure to make mistakes in spite of the most careful efforts to avoid it. It is only human to err.

At the same time the newspapers of this country bestow as many favors free gratis; furnish most of the thoughts for the leading students of the pation; and do as much to build up a community as any other institution in existence. Let credit be given where credit is due, and let the poor newspaper man have his jast due. But some people are perfectly willing to accept newspaper praise that aids them to carry on a certain line of work free gratis, and then kick because they can't ride a free horse to death. They are natural born kickers. They kick against everything in existence, and when when they are through kicking against the existing order of things, they turn around and kick themselves.

It is wise to adhere to the old biblical injunction, "Judge not, that ye be not judged."
