THE city council voted down the or
dinance to renea' that section of an old
ordinance which Imposes a license on
pool and billiard tables. The council
vat eminently consistent In its atti
tude. If the license Is to be abolished
on one game that is part and parcel of
the saloon keeper's business why not
alwiish It on every game, including the
dice box, slot rwch.nes and open
gambling. It will be argued that the
' tity derives a large revenue from these
sources, all of which Is true. If the
elty has to continue to derive a reve- j
line the larger that revenue the better
Hut there are some citixens who claim
that it is not absolutely necessary for
the city to enrich itself at the expense
of the public morals.
THE city council adjourned on Mon
day night to meet again next Monday
the extra meeting being made
necessary on account of the large
amount of street work on hand. The
council has outlined a good program
of street Improvements. Extensive
work on the streets and avenues, even
at some small cost to the abutting
property owners, Is greatly to be ap
preciated, jyid the council cannot do
better than continue to prosecute the
improvement of every thoroughfare in
the city. Let the the good work con
tinue while the sun shines.

A3 the time approaches for the re
gntta. It might not be out of place to
call the attention of the street superin
tendent to the condition of the streets.
The city should be dressed in appro
priate raimsnt for the regattas and un
k'BS the streets are clean the effect of
the decorations will be marred.
Enough revenue is derived from cer
tain sources in the city to- provide a
fund, should funds be lacking, for the
purpose of keeping the city clean.
THE probability that the portrait of
Napoleon Bonaparte will be placed on
tiime of th postage stamps issued to
commemorate the centennial of the
Louisiana annexation is bothering
some Americans greatly. The stamps
will be 1 cent, 2 cent.;, 5 cnt and 10
cents. 'Jefferson is to be on one series,

The United States life savlug service
costs $1,700,000 per annum.
Mining companies In the Vnited
States last year paid 150,000,000 in div
idends. Figures recently published in Chris
tiana show that the amount of money
sent home from the United States by
emigrants from Norway last year was
3,:so,ooo.
Sixty million barrels of keroslne were
produced In the United States last year
The proceeds from this and the bypro
ducts obtained from petroleum are es
timated at $300,000,000.
The Porto Ricans are demonstrating
their unfitness for self-government.
Their government is out of debt, has
a big surplus and proposes reducing
taxation. That i. not after the manner
of "civilized" and model governments.
Porto Ricois antiquated.
There was quite a roar when this
government paid $7,200,000 for Alaska.
It was dirt cheap at that. In less than
one year $1072,45 of the products of
Alaska found a market outsiile of thai
territory. It is a rich country with its
productive capacity practically unde
veloped. British locomotive builders have
made a new record for the Americans
to beat. An English tn.in last week
ran 249 '1-4 miles in five ti'jurs and fifty
eight minuKs without stopping, the
most .severe test it is possible to put a
locomotive to. It nv.sins a speed of
over fifty miles an hour, continously
for s'x hours.
Durining the fiscal year just closed
132,29 claims were allowed by the pen
sion bureau and 113,720 rejected. The
number of allowances exceed those of
last year by 13.005. The number of re
jections in 1902 was 11S.404. This was
the first year under the administration
tit Commissioner Ware.
This is a great country but it almost
bewilders one to contemplate the run
ning expenses of the government.
This year the actual governmental ex
penses ivill be about six hundred and
fifty- one millions of dollars, including
one hundred and thirty-two millions for
the postal service which is well nigh
self sustaining. The Income, however,
is sufficient to meet this enormous ex
pense and leave a surplus of forty-three
milions of dollars. The surplus last
year being ninety-one millions of dol
lars. The commissioner of the general land
office at Washington has withdrawn
from entry forty-four and one half
townships In the Susan vile, California
land district, and 990,000 acres of ad
joining land In Oregon, the whole com
prising the proposed Walker river for
est reserve. The land will now be ex
amined to determine its fitness for a
forest reserve.
No matter wh;it you do, provided
you do it better than someone else
could do the same thing, there's a wel
come awaiting you in the world. It
was Emerson, we 'believe, who said:
"If a man can write a better book,
preach a better sermon, or make a bet
ter mouse trap than his neighbor,
though he build his house In the woods,
the world will m,ake a beaten path to
his door." Try to excel it's a laudable
ambition.
