Now 1 lay mo down to sleep,
Pray the Lord my near to keep;
0 rant no oilier sailoi 'll lake,
Shoes or socks before I wake.
Lord, please, guard my slumber,
Keep my hammock on its immher;
May no clews nor lashings break
To let me down before 1 wake.
CiihI, protect mo in my dreams.
Make life better than it seems;
In the morning let tin wake
lirestliing scent of sirloin steak.
Grant that timo may go on skates
"Fill 1 reach the dear old states
And that snowy feather bed;
There I long to reM my head.

Lities have miles and miles ot
streets or roads to maintain, and
this shifting of all the road tax
money to districts out side the
city, is an unfair advantage ami
works a hardship upon town peo
ple, as it, makes the residents of
the cities help keep up the high
ways outside the city, and forces
them to re-tax themselves to
keep up their roads or streets
within the city.
Some may argue that cities
are dependent upon the sur
rounding country and should
help keej up the highways out
side so that those living in the
country can get to the cities to
trade. It is true that cities are
dependent to a large extent upon
the surrounding country but it
is equally true that the cotitrtry
is dependent upon the cities and
that each in its own peculiar
way is a help to the other, for
while the town draws its sup
plies from the country, it is the
city life that makes a market for
the farmer, the dairymen, and
the stock raiser.
There should be no strife be
tween the city dweller and the
country people, but equity
should abound, and since con
ditions have obtained as they
now exist, it is necessary that
this city should become a sepa
rate road district in order to
protect its citizens from unjust
taxation.
It is claimed that a certain
portion of the tax will go to the
county anyway. Well, what if
it does? Half of a loaf is just
that much better thjun no bread
at all and if a part of the fund
must be taken out to keep up
bridges and other repairs, we
bad much better get what is left
than to get no part at all.
The Herald is in favor of
getting all that is to he had.
A Doomed Despotism
The Mexican rebels have
gained several victories over the
lluerta forces and have taken
the opportunity to retaliate upon
the federals for the execution of
constitutionalists who were cap
tured and put to death. Both
sides seem to think that six feet
under the sod is the safot place
to hold a political enemy. The
law of love linds no way of
entrance into a strife-torn nation.
The Mexican question is rath
er one of suspense, and keeps
the public nerve tin a prolonged
strain. It reminds us of a re
mark attributed to an old farm
er, in the east, whose wife had
been confined to her bed for a
long time through a severe sick
ness, when he said: "I
she would get well or suthin."
