Kiilloi News: In voting for
park commission the people of Kose-
liurg have taken a forward step. It
la to be hoped that a park comuils
sion will be chosen who will have
broad and intelligent views of the
public Intercut, and a keen apprecia
tion of the opportunity given them
to perform a great service to the
present generation and to posterity.
We begin to realize more and more
that not only l there a grout debt
duo from I ltllvlduuls to society as a
whole, but also eot-lety as a whole
has many and great obligations l'i
discharge to Individuals. The more
pooplo there are gathered together In
one place the more do their lives
Interests affect one another, and con
sequently the more questions and
, problems arise. There ure many
needs of humanity when gathered to
gether in communities which can be
mot and provided for only by com
munity action. A city park Is a nec
essity In every modern community.
Those who have the be&t interests of
Koscburg at heart desire to see the
park question carefully studied, and
when the time shall come to submit
to the people the cholco of a loca
tion, the question should bo entirely
freo from factional or local or selfish
entanglements. All citizens should
take an Interest In the question, but
all should bo actuated by a sincere
deulro for the general good,
i Other and Important forward steps
which Koscburg could lake and which
she will tako In due time are the
establishment of a Y. M. C. A. and u
public library. Practically every one
admits the beneficial chnructer of
such Institutions. Itosoburg as a
progressive and enlightened city can
not In justice to her good name con
tinue to do without these Institutions.
Many believe that a Y. M. C. A.
should not be organized until suf
ficient funds can bo raised to erect a
Builahle building. This Ih tho opin
ion of those who have had exper
ience In connection with such Insti
tutions. It would seem, howover,
that a start for a public library
might be made without waiting for
tho time to eomo when the peoplo
will be willing to contribute twenty
flvo thousand dollars for a Y. M. C.
A. building. If such a library were
Blurted now, It can eventually be
placed under the control of a Young
Mon's Christian Association. Kosc
burg needs now n place wltero men
and boys may enjoy a comfortable
lounging place with good literature
at hand, and where there nre no In
fluences to tempt them from tho
paths of sobriety and good conduct.
Not only Is It Important flint such
& place of resort ought to exist lu
order that man may have less occas
ion to seek places of evil resort, hut
it Is Important that tho community
as a whole Beek to hnnluh and keep
from Its borders those places of re
sort which tend to gather about
themselves the evil Influences of the
community. Unfortunately at this
tlnio Koscburg Is called upon to veto
upon the question of permitting the
exlatnnre of liquor saloons within
her borders. No man has advanced
or can ndvance any true claim that
the liquor saloon will be a real bene
fit to anybody, and yet men who
would bo horrllled at tho thought of
subjecting their own hoys and girls
to the immediate Influenco of the
saloon will advocate the establish
ment of saloons with the selfish hope
that they will be able to keep their
own children far from the contam
inating Influence and that these who
must go to ruin because of that In
fluence will be the boys and girls
of other people; that the hemes
which tho saloon will destroy will
bo other people's homes; that the
families which will be broken up by
the saloon will be other people's fam
ilies. Some one has satd, "If the
men who vote for saloons had to
furnish tho boys to fill them, every
town would go dry."
Some say that saloons would pay
a large revenue to the city, nnd thus
make the burden of taxation lighter.
There are two answers to this con
tention, nnd the tlrsl la that the
liquor business Increases the burden
or taxation In the long run because
It Increases the expenses of the
courts, the police department, the
poor farm, the county Jail, the peni
tentiary and the public hospitals. In
the second place wo ought to be too
fur advanced In civilisation to be
lieve that It la necessary to destroy
manhood and womanhood and all
that la best In life for tho sake of
making taxes lighter. How much
better that the money incut over the

down In mind nnd body, reduces his

No man who expects to make good

any business to tamper with liquor.

The saddest though to candidate
"1 see my finish, but too Into."
By T. KDDY
In nlneteen-olght I could have had
Kenomlnatlon like a shot.
But thought I'd make 'em want me
bad.
They don't; nnd thnt Is why I'm hot.
1 put up Tuft for contrast's sake,
Thinking of him they soon would tiro.
Tho people don't; they like "Jils
mako",
And hence my righteous indig Iro.
I thought tho people liked my guff.
Admired the way I swung my club;
The "mully" nnd "deellghted' stuff.
They do not now, and thoro's tho rub.
They used to cheer and howl like
mail
When I turned loose my Bowery
slang. ,
Hut now they call my language
"bad";
The cheers come only from "the
gang",
In nlneteen-olght I told 'ern Taft
Was Just "the finest In tho lnnd".
1 thought 'twas good polltlcraft
I guess I overplayed my hand.
He's proved to be all that I said.
Ills record's mighty hard to beat.
And now he's way up at the head
I occupy a far back seat.
"Of all sad thoughts of tongue or
pen,"
Tl'.e Mildest Is, I might have been."
