Where Is He At?

The editor of the Leon Journal
certainly is at sea on the railroad
assessment question. l notice he has
roasted THE REPORTER for its position
on the railroad assessment and Il ell
commends the board of supervisors for
passing resolution denounciEg the
executive council for reducing the rail
roads taxes and raising those OF the
farmer.
Now comes the great and only Leslie
M. Shaw, governor of grand old Iowa,
and says he is displeased with the action
of the Decatur county board, and vents
his spleen in letter to Il. l.. Parrish,
local attorney for the G.. B. 4 O. and a
leader of the republican party.
Where is the journal at?
The stigma of their action must fall
on someone.
And where is the Journal at?
If it stands up for the board it incurs
the displeasure of Gov. Shaw and the
railroad'politicians and it is we'll know n
fact that the Journal stands in with the
gang every time. He is up against the
real thing this time, and will probably
have another of those midnight seances
with locked doors to tell him where he
Is at. The e. b. 4 O. and Gov. Shaw
are no better than any Decatur county
farmer who tolls early and late to make
enough to school his children, pay his
taxes and provide home for himself
and wife in their old age, and if the
farmers taxes are increased and the
railroads decreased, the farmers will go
after Gov. Shaw and the whole gang of
railroad tricksters and drop their heads
in the basket of Oblivion. TAXPAYER.

MR.. EDITOR
If were boss:-
There would be some radical changes
in feminine clothing.
If women folk insisted on wearing
skirts. they would have to wear skirts
Of different sort, some kind that
would be firmly attached to their shirt

There was woman's convention the
other day and for eight blessed hours
every woman that got up to speak nrst
reached around to make sure that the
upper and the lower parts of her gown
met.
was at a commencement recently.
and it was the same thing threr.
Every sweet girl graduate that got up
to read her essay had to fus little
with her gown before she made her
bow to the audience.
Think of the muscular energy women
folks waste in the course of year, to
say nothing of the nervous worry. 1t
is no wonder that there are more wo-
men than men in the insane asylums.
Then, too, look at the exhaustion
that must come from the proposition
of holding up skirts.
Watch a youngster Of six go across
the street. Though her skirts are a
foot and half from the ground, she
will grab them in one hand. as she has
seen her mother and her sisters do.
She keeps on doing 1t every day OF
her life from that on. AS she gets old
) err her skirts get heavier, and when
she gets to wearing trains the task
gets more arduous.
Think Of the energy that is wasted
by not having skirts cut four inches
shorter.
II were boss Dame Fashion would
have(to invent q, new garb for women
CT go, outrof business. 4
There is no reason why women
should not be Just as sensibly and as
comfortably dressed as men.
Any style, however simple, will be-
come popular If persisted in.
Women themselves would welcome
any change in their garb that made
life easier for them, il they would
only admit it.
And If were boss they would have
to admit it.

was born in Wheeling, Va, in May,
1878, died in Decatur county, Iowa,
April ls, 1901, aged 50 years.
In 1888 the deceased came west and
located at Fairfield, Iowa, where he was
married to Make b. Shelton in lS4l.
To this union was born four sons, two
dying in infancy and two surviving, J..
A. Caldwell, of Leon, and John Cald.
we'll, of Council Bluffs. Mrs. Caldwell
died a few years ago in this city. He
came to Decatur county in 1857, and
continued resident of the county un:
til his death. He was converted in 1857
and joined the Christian church, but
left it year later to join the Seventh
Day Advent church, Of which he was a
member at the time Of his death. He
became an ordained minister and for
many years preached the gospel from
the pulpit. A number of years ago
Rev. Caldwell lost his eyesight, but a
few years ago an operation restored his
sight and he has been familiar figure
on our streets until the past few months
when his health failed.
The funeral services were held from
the home Of his son, J.. A. Caldwell, Sat-
urday morning at 10 O'Clock, the servi-
ces being conducted by Elder Williams,
of the Advent church. His remains
were tenderly laid to rest in the Leon
cemetery by the side of his beloved wife
who had preceded him to home on
high.
