EDITORIAL COMMENT
.
ble since a large part of it is on
the hills west of town and could
not well be reached with irriga
tion ditches. The lowland has
been overflowed by high waters
until the soil is worn down to a
clay and bed of boulders. He
declares he will never sign a
warrant for a dollar for any
thing on that site, and he is
right, too. To begin the ex
penditure, on a piece of land of
that nature, with the idea of
producing a commendable state
institution would be folly little
short of criminal. The $40,000
paid for the land, or rather for
the two votes gained thereby,
would only be a bit of change
compared with what it would re
quire to support anything that
might be placed there. What
ought to be done would be to in
vestigate the whole deal and
ascertain if the deal was as
dirty as it appears to be on its
face. If it is, and the facts can
be found to bear it out, some of
our statesmen would be likely to
try explaining why this is not
sufficient cause to institute bri
bery proceedings.
A rthvr H ayes S abgkxt .
Governor-elect Aldrich of Ne
braska, being a Methodist, omit
ted the inaugural ball. A man
who lives up to his church creed
ought to make a good governor.
Mexico stands resolutely for
the doctrine that a government
that desires peace must prepare
to fight for it.
A Macon negro got six months ,
for stealing a dozen eggs; at the
present price it ought to have I
been a life sentence.
The democrats of New Jersey
ought to be thankful that they
have so wise and courageous a
leader as Woodrow Wilson. We
cannot believe that they will re
fuse to follow him.
There being no “express” rea
sons why it shouldn’t, the Phil
ippine government is preparing
to establish a postoffice parcel
delivery.
Some statesmen when they are
divorced from the government
pay roll act as if they were en
titled to alimony.

Mr. Hitchcock, the postmaster
general, seems to favor a parcels
post wherever the express com
panies have not made other ar
rangements.
With all the talk about prices
coming down, a half-dollar beef
roast remains vest-pocket size.
