ADDITION TO TRAMP BANDS.

Marion Registerl
Over eight hundred men were given
employment on the Milwaukee, the
most Of them on the line between Mar
ion and Sabula during the month OF
May who threw up their jobs before
the LIST OF June, said headquarters
official to a Register reporter, Friday
evening. The most of these men were
hired in and We're brought out from
Chicago-the result proving that they
We're not so DESTROYS of a chance to
work as they We're to change their Local
tion-exchange city life for a chance 10
roam and loaf and beg their living in
the country. 1t gives one that tired
FEELING" to know there are so many aim
lers. doless and worthless men in the
country. 1t is safe to say that large
majority of the 500 men referred to are
tramping thru Iowa today and begging
their meals at the kitchen doors of the
prosperous citizens of town and country.
1nSthis land of plenty no one should go
hungry, but wherever and whenever
these weary trampsrs apply for meal.
they should be denied their request until
they had earned 1t at the wood pile, In
the garden, on the lawn With mower
and rake or in some other way to be
designated b,. the parties to whom they
apply. II this rule was general there
would be fewer 'Wllies" in the state
and fe"cr calls for meals at the back
doors. Once they had 10 work for
something to eat the majority would
seek situation with a salary attached
and stick to 1t. This is the only possibl
solution of the tramp problem. the only
way to make Willie" a man.
COLONEL CL4ARk.S CANDIDACY f
GROWING.
tcedar Rapids Republican,
II is more thun pleasing to the many
friends OF Col. Clark TO note the rapid
~ growing sentiment in favor of his
candidacy for Judge OF the supreme
court. For q long time before 1t was
publicly announced that he would be
q candidate, there were suggestions in
many parts OF the state that he would
be an ideal man for the. place. il he
could be induced TO give up his large
practice for such office. The members
OF the Linn county bar acting upon this
suggestion, at length took the matter
up, and after making an urgent appeal
to him thru a committee appointed for
that purpose. secured his consent and
thereafter made public announcement
OF his candidacy.
: So commanding have baen the abili-
ties OF Col Clark as practitioner at
the bar that his candidacy almost Inn
mediately assumed statewide propor-
ton. While a resident of Linn county
his practice has by no means been con-
fined to Linn county. nor, indeed, to the
state. He liz In no sense a local candl-
date, tho the preliminary work OF bring
Ing his name out rested largely with
bsslOcal bar. There is no one who raises
q question as to hts eminent fitness and
ability to fill place on our supreme
bench. He IS thoroughly grounded in
the principles Of the law; he is in no
Sense e mere case" lawyer. Few men
have the honor Of producing more cases
of first impression than he. He has
been one Of the pioneers to blaze the
way thru very much OF the seemingly
impenetrable mass OF legal lore in es-
fablishing the excellent system OF juris-
prgdeqce Of our state.
Undar ssaA these circumstances It
