A MEW DISCOVERT.
Bob Neff, tbe constitutional
lawyer of the editorial fraternity
of tbe two territories, has discov-
ered a statute that puts another
crimp in the fellow who applies
for a liquor license. By the stat-
ute in question, according to Mr.
Neff, it is necessary that the ap-
plicant not only get authority
from the county commissioners,
but he must also obtain permis-
sion from the city council. It
also appears that for the city
council to act there must be a pe-
tition signed by two-thirds of the
business men in the half block in
which the saloon is to be located.
Further than this, it is claimed
there is no law compelling a city
council to grant a license and, if
they choose may refuse a license
altogether, as the powers of the
council are in no way abridged
by any statute in this particular.
The observations of Judge Neff
were made in commenting on
case that had just been tried at
Lawton before Judge Gillette
Judge Gillette in deciding the
case and commenting on this par
ticular pha^e of it, said: ;"It
must be conceded that the lan-
guage of the statute is broad
enough to authorize any form of
legislation the city authoiities
may see fit to enact, even to the
extent of an arbitrary and un-
ratified prohibition of the sale
of intoxicating liquors, however
unjust and unreasonable such
"legislation may appear to persons
desiring to engage in the busi-
ness.
The agitation now going on
concerning the condition of the
county jail and the care of the
prisoners, it is hoped, will direct
the public's attention to the ne-
ctssityof doing away with tbe
present one and building a good
one. As to the care that the
Steudle boys got and are getting,
it] is a" deserve. From
those who are conversant with
the situation, we are told that for
general cussedness and wrath
provoking profanity they were
easily entitled to the whole
bakery. It may be the duty of
the jailor to sit in his office and
be made the target" for every
vituperation and black guard ex
pression extant, but we don't
think so. Sheriff Griffin and his
office force say that these parties
are the toughest lot that ever
struck this jail and that if fthere
wax any devilment'vverlookeri hy
tht* gang they failed to notice it.
Outlaws when free show an titter
disregard of regulations at the
jail. It is our notion that they
would behave decently while in
custody, if we were jailo , or
there would be some thing doing.
A prisoner is entitled to fair
treatment, but he should be made
to return the same to the officials.
About 99 per cent, of the whole
business is pure rot while the
other one per cent, is reform that
could possibly be made in the
care of the jail. 7
If you are a Republican boss,
lookout for political squalls about
November, is the way the prog-
nostications in the political al-
manac are warnipg the G. -O. P.

The advice to Democrats is to
get together on essentials and
lay aside factional quarrels. The
Democrat that for selfish reasons
is trying to disrupt the party at
this time should be warned to
desist and advised that only those
who fight for the general good
can expect consideration and re-
ward thereafter.

Now that the Senate Commit-
the has'followed the recommen-
dations of the majority of the en-
gineer experts to build the Pana-
ma canal on the sea-level plan,
there should be no more delays
in pushing the work. There is
no doubt that in view of danger
to locks and dams from earth-
quakes, the sea level type is the
only safe one. It may cost a
little more and take a little long-
er to build, and those who talked
so much about making the "dirt
fly" may be disgruntled, but
making haste slowly in a work of
this magnitude is the only safe
policy.
Hatchell's for short orders,
It is reported that the Repub-
licans of Delaware are about to
get together and elect Col.
Henry Dupont to the United
States Senate. Col. Dupont has
several millions invested in the
powder trust wh ich was recently
subjected to a hot fire in the
Senate by Mr. Bacon of Georgia
for robbing the government.
Since Addicks has spent all his
surplus arising from the gas
trust, no doubt Col. Dupont will
be able to harmonize the party by
the use of his barrel, and thus
place himself in a position to
protect the powder trust with his
vote and influence against the at-
tacks of the Democrats.
There is a bitter fight going on
between the Perkins and Cum-
mins factions of the Republican
party in Iowa; and it is said that
if Perkins wins, Senator Dolliver
will be replaced in the Senate by
Congressman Lacey. It may
turn out, however, that even
Iowa will send a Democrat to the
Senate, for1 this the only way the
people of Iowa will ever get
tariff revision that will really
stop the plundering of the peo-
ple.
