Temperance Law.

But few persons are aware that
Chapter AZ, Acts Of the 9th General
Assembly Of the State of Iowa, ap-
proved March 20, 1862, provides that
any person manufacturing or selling
Intoxicating liquors, contrary to the
provisions Of the law, and causing
the intoxication of another person,
shall be compelled to pay reasona-
BILE compensation to any person or
persons who may take charge and
provide for such intoxicated person,
and shall also be liable for one dollar
per day for each additional day such
person may be kept in consequence
Of such intoxication. Any wife.
child, parent, guardian, employer or
other persons who shall be injured In
person, property or means OF support
In consequence Of such intOxication,
shall have right of action against
the person selling the liquor causing
the intoxicatiOn, who shall be liable
for all damages sustained by any Of
his victims while under influence OF
liquor. Our attention was called to
this matter by Jehu Hiatt, member
of the Board from Prairie Tp., and
our readers will see that it is similar
to the law of Ohio published some
time since. The whole act Is quite
lengthy, but the above is the SUBJ

Out Of their Mouths,

If there could only be some concert
Of falsehood among the people who
deny the Ku.Klux outrages, 1t would
be better for their cause. The North
crn applogist Of these ruffians, as a
general thing, agree in the statement
that tie South is as tranquil and law
abiding a community as exists any
where In the world; that the Ku-
Klux Is pure creation of the brain
Of Gen. Grant, invented for the pur-
pose of making him a dictator.
There would be some hope Of max
ing their readers believe this If they
did not occasionally commit the
indiscretion of allowing some out
spoken brutality of these criminals
to find a place in their columns. For
instance, Democratic paper Of this
city, which editorially denies the
existence Of any abnormal condition
or sentiment at the South, published
on Saturday last, with commentator
~ headings, = long and very explicit
letter from Georgia, which confirms
all that has been said IN regard to
the murderous intents and acts Of ex-
Rebels of that State. The commu-
nication Is q very singular one In its
apparent innocence and earnestness,
which seems incapable Of understand
iug why any one should object to the
barbarous and brutal feeling It &C.

llIinOl knocks Under 10 Iowa
ON the Corn Question.

A Chicago paper, bowling to the
figures of fact as they appear in the
official statistics of the Agricultural
Department, has the following con-
corning Iowa's superiority to Illinois
in the production of Corn:
A gold mine in Iowa! Thank God
tits regetatte gold, and vulgarly called
corn mine. Thank God because it
is IA true proverb: IA gold mine will
make you poor, a silver mine com.
Portable, and coal rich" But corn
mine is worth them all. We ought
to annex San Domingo, because it
gave Indian corn to Columbus, and
through him to the world. All the
world south Of Alaska now raises corn.
How then Is corn pre-eminently the
gold mine Of Iowa? Illinois and
Missouri each raises more than she
of that golden grain.
Yet Iowa raises more prop0rtionally
than either OF those States, or than
any other. The bushels last year
were: In Illinois, 12l 100000: in
Missouri, so, 500, 900; in Iowa $500,
600. But Illinois was then the fourth,
and Missouri the fifth State in popu-
lation, while Iowa stood twelfth.
Hence the number Of bushels to each
inhabitant were: In Illinois, AZ; in
Missouri, 46; in Iowa, IS. AS these
three States yield two-nfthsofthe corn
product of the Union, Iowa is clearly
the banner State for hominy. This
fact is the secret of her growth. Her
percentage of increase during the last
decade was 1916, that of Illinois was
asa, and that of Missouri 45.l. The
reason Is that corn means cheap food
for man and beast. It means that
cattle and hogs can be raised to great
er advantage than is possible in any
non-corn.grUwing region except in
Western Nebraska, where "all flesh
is grass and where they need nei-
ther grain, hay, salt, nor shelter.
Every bushel of unhusked corn to an
Iowan stock dealer meansfive pounds
of beef and as many of pork. No
wonder, then, that. during the last

Farmers, Pass.b0Oks.

"Pay as you go" is thssbest motto
on the farm, as well as everywhere
else. But if farmer is 80 situated
that he must buy goods on credit let
him do it in such way that Is busi-
ness like. The practice that prevails
in all large towns, where avery large
number OF people receive their pay
at the end Of the week or month, ~
this: Each family has a small blank
book called. pass-book, in which
the account with the grocer or
butcher is kept. On the outside Is
written the name Of the grocer, and
of the person trading with him.
Whenever anything Is bought at the
grocery or market, the salesman
enters the amount in the pass-book,
which is taken home, at the same
time that the charge is made in the
day book Of the establishment. In
this way any mistake can he easily
corrected while the transaction Is
fresh In the mind. At the end Of a
specified time the account Is settled
to date, after which new account IL

ally adopted in cities, should be in.
trodnced into the country. Farmers
have more need Of 1t than city
mechanics have, for the reason that
their accounts ordinarily run longer
As much of the trade Of farmers is
conducted by means of barter, their
pass-books should be soarranged that
one page should be devoted to items
OF goods bought, and the other to
accounts of articles delivered in pay
ment and to cash paid. At the end
Of each month a space Of a few lines
should be left for footing up the
columns Of debts and credits. A
pass-bOok that will cost bat a dime,
will be worth dollars in enabling a
farmer to tell how he stands with his
grocer, blacksmith, as well as the
other persons with whom he has con.
siderable dealings.-Erairie Edrnaer.

writer begins by denouncing as q
political SANDER the statement some
times made in the North that there
is in the South a hostile feeling
against Northern men. He says
there Is none whatever, with the
exception Of the very proper and
reasonable hate which all true South
erners bear to Northern men who
were in favor OF the late war and OF
recent legislation. These, he admits,
twill never be able to huckster their
nefarious schemes in our down.

He proceeds with the same WIN

that no member of the class described
Is safe in the South, save while cling
ing to some Federal garrison, and

hate, despise and loathe them, and
rather than suffer forced fellowship,
in default of better protection, in
every neighborhood in the South
there are restless spirits who will
remorselessly haunt them, and, cruel
as the work may be, a silent commu-
nifty will defy detection" But lest
he should be suspected Of closing the
door OF hope and mercy on the North,
he concludes by stating his profound
conviction that If Northern men will
come South, adopt Southern views
and principles, do in all things as
their native neighbors require, and
give up 81, their free.State nonsense,
tbeirIives and persons will be spared.

Southern Affairs.

It Is a cause Of congratulatiOn that
no Iowa member OF Congress was
foolish enough to vote for amnesty as
remedy for the murders, sc0urg.
ings, and banishments OF the South
ern Ku Klux. What other feeling
than that OF contempt would outlaws
have for a government which prof
fered them pardon unasked, before 1t
had demonstrated that 1t was able to
punish a single one Of them? At the
close Of the war the rebels were In
the power Of the government. The
leaders might have been justly pun
ished. But In Its magnanimity 1t
permitted them to go unwhipt OF
Justice. What has been the return ?
Have there been any indications that
this generosity was appreciated by
those to whom it was extended?
None worth mentioning. Matters
have gone on from bad to worse until

together by oaths and secret signs to

sary to put them out Of the way, TO
kill all who may be obnoxious to
them. 1t IL not amnesty, but a
drum-head court-martial that such
criminals deserve.
The Ku Klux bill has passed both
houses Of Congress, and will be signed
by the President and become q law.
The part Of the act which gives the
President power to suspend the writ

Limitation some twelve or fourteen
months hence. The law is somewhat
misunderstanding the President with
extraordinary powers. The demands
are likewise unusual. The condition

is anomalous and calls for legislation
