TUESSAY'S tffflf* OF THE COUNCIL
It was an adjourned session the
council held on the 15th. Only a
few minor matters were dis-
cussed.
The people of east Denison pre-
sented a petition requesting that
the T. 4 P. be restrained from
fencing their property, which was
referred to the city attorney. A
petition was also presented sup-
porting the construction of a sewer
That was
There is a way to make councils
cease jumping. The people of
Denison can have what they want
in street car facilities, if they go
about it in the right way. The
court has as much as said that if
the city council lodges a suit to
prevent the street car company
from hauling freight through our
streets the ear of the court will
open. Then let the various neigh-
j borhoods that need a street car
You have often read of those
cases where a woman ran a needle
into her finger and about twenty
years later it worked out of her
big toe. Well, here’s a more
wonderful case still. An Ohio
teacher three years ago made the
mistake of pinning her belt with a
needle, and the needle ran into
her hand and could not be found.
Just the other day it was discov-
ered coming out on the arm of
one of the local officials, who was
keeping company with her at the

referred to the superintendent of
the water department, with in-
structions to report on the 23rd.
Then the case of the “skun
calf” was taken up. It developed
that the woman appealing from
the $3 had only paid 85 cents on
account so the matter was passed.
Suggestion was also made that
the water superintendent put
a trouble hook in hie office, on
which is to be hung all of the
work he proposes to do, so that all
plumbers can get advice upon the
matter, and make bids on the
work.
Then once again came the mo-
mentous question of council meet-
ings, “1 move we adjourn.” Not
a whimper was made about the
injustice done to the city by the
street car company hauling freight
through the streets. The Sher-
man council stands up for their
rights, and get what they want.
The Denison council lays down,
and gets run over. Last week the
Sherman council wanted a new
line to the cemetery, and the
street car company came prompt-
ly to the front with an offer of a
thousand dollars towards bridging
a creek that was to be crossed
Did anyone hear the Denison
council suggest a line to a Denison
cemetery ? The Sherman council
line prepare petitions to the coun-
cil, asking for an extension into
their vicinity, and to the end of
that petition attach a request that
such action be taken as will stop
the street car company from haul-
ing freight until their demands are
complied with.
The street car company is not
in Denison for its health. It is a
business institution. The privilege
of hauling freight into the city is
worth untold thousand. Rather
than surrender that any reasona-
ble request will be granted. All
that is necessary is for the people
to wake up and demand their
rights.
Nor is this all. Everything
points to either an extension of
this Traction line to the north, or
building of another line from the
north to connect with them. In
either case the privilege of haul-
ing freight through our streets
becomes more valuable and should
he paid for accordingly. Get up
your petitions. Let the council
know that you are awake to your
rights. If you want your pro|»er-
ty doubled in value, get a car line
into your neighborhood, and vou
can get it by a petition to the
council.
There may have been a time in

pany, instead of jumping to an

The following appearing in the
editorial columns of tike Muskogee
Phoenix describes a condition
which exists in this countv, and
we might add in nearly every
other county where the prohibi-
bition experiment has been tried :
The prohibitory law has proved
an utter failure in Oklahoma. It
tiss likewise proved a failure in
practically every other state, as a
state-wide measure. Regardless
of whether we like to admit the
crumbling of our castles or the
unhorsing o! our hobbies, it is
good for the soul to make an hon-
est confession once in a while, and
therefore we will have to agree
that state-wide prohibition in Ok-
ahoma has failed most utterly.
Besides being enormously expen-
sive, it has been breeding a class
of criminals that high-licensed sa-
loons never tolerated : it tuts I wen
especially active in breeding
youthful criminals, as the records
will show. It has taken the sa-
oon from off the business streets
and under the open eye of the law
back into alleys, into the homes,
and in hidden places where it has
bred crime as loathsome places
breed vermin. Officers confess
their inability to cope with the
lawbreakers and courts say that
convictions are growing more im-
possible each day. C’iticens are
tired of tlie farce and in many
towns of the state are advocating
an immediate return to a high-
license local option system. They
sny more anti worse liquor is
drank than under open saloons
and that crime is steadily on the
increase. They do not blame the
officials, who, they say, are doing
the best they can under the circum-
stances. This is the condition in
practically 90 per cent of the coun-
ties of the state and everywhere
the taxpayers are demanding re-
lief. Those oi us who advooated
and voted for prohibition to “drive
out the saloon” to find that it has
merely let in the “joint” are
about ready to confess that while
it is a beautiful theory, its practi-
cal workings have fallen far short
of what was promised or what we
had hoped.
In Germany employers of labor
insure themselves against losses
caused by strikes. There are 48
such insurance companies in Ger-

Prof. H. P. Atwater, industrial

considerable attention is now be-
ing given to irrigation in the great
valleys away from the Rio Grande, j
where irrigation has hitherto been
considered impossible. The re-
cent discovery of artesian water
at comparatively low depths in
several localities in El Paso, Pre-
sidio and other counties, along the
line of the Galveston, Harrisburg
and Ban Antonio railway, has at-
tracted to the possibility of utilis-
ing large tracts of laud for grow-j
ing fruit, truck and alfalfa by a
system of surface and suhirriga-
tion.
