IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Fontanelle Observer notices that
a cute speaker addressing the demo-
cratic state convention defined a trust
as "a small body of men surrounded by
a large body of water" The Observer
thinks that is very good considering
his limited vision. Since the convention
nominated member and promoter of
the bituminous coal combine it would
be more pertinent to describe trust as
small body of men surrounded by a
large body of coal. Smoke up!'
The Clinton Herald suggests that
They might be called Candidate Phil
lips, Chairman Phillips and Busted
Phillips"
The Armstrong Journal asks Who
Voted Emmett County?" and adds: Not
any of the delegates elected to repre-
sent Emmett county in the democratic
convention in Des Moines was in at
tendance. There was no one present to
represent the county, yet some one cast
the vote of the county on every ballot
The delegates chosen at the county con-
vention We're all opposed to reaffirma-
ton Of the Kansas City platform, but
in the convention some one voted the
county in the silver column. But, of
course, the delegates are to blame for
not attending the convention"

At Iowa City the Press observes: THE
Des Moines Register can eat crow, even
if it doesn't banker after it. To support
Cummins was bad enough, but when to
that is added supporting Herriott, its
cup of misery runs over. And the worst
of the business is that it was the only

LESSON OF A TRAGEDY.

A girl-beautiful, accomplished and of
an eminently respectable family-was
driven to her home in a cab couple Of
nights ago. She was alone and uncon-
scious when her father found her and
carried her into the house. A few hours
later she died from the effects Of some
drug.
The previous afternoon and evening
she had spent with girl friend. At 9
O'clock they separated and she had
taken car for homo. Between that
hour and Q o'clock the next morning,
when the unconscious girl was received
into her home, it is not known what
took place, except that she had been
seen in wineroom with strange man.
The pity Of It Is that this is not at all

ACoLD, PNEUMONIA AND DEATH.

The late census of the nation shows
that pneumonia outranks consumption
as the cause of DEATH the record for
1000 deaths being. pneumonia 1919 and
consumption 1905. The difference is not
great, but that pneumonia should lead
is said to be surprise to physicians,
as we'll as the public generally.
Pneumonie is disease of the tissues
of the lungs, and usually arises from an
acute cold-a lung fever. In large num-
bers Of Instances it catches it's victims
unprepared to resist the cold. Very
often Vsople get away from the ordi-
nary rounds of life, either in travelling
or in 4 public gathering, or upon some
duty where their energies are absorbed
in an unusual effort. IN such cases they
are either compelled to neglect the or
binary precautions or from personal
pride refused to show their fear of con-
sequences. If the truth We're known,
1t is probable that the great majority
of cases of pneumonia arise from such
rauses. Many persons of mature years
are thus caught as victims of this dis
ease.
The lesson of guarding against its dire
effects is that the individual who feels
that he is taking cold anywhere or in
any company should adopt precautions
at once to avert it. 1t may mean pneu-
monia and death.

GREAT WESTERN EXTENSION BONDS.


The Chicago Great Western is demon
strating its virility and force as an in
dependent railway line, and it's faith in
the present and future of our state and
nation by preparing in practical way
for the extension Of it's road to Omaha
and Sioux City. Its latest movement is
embodied in the following statement
from the Chicago Tribune
1t is reported that President stickney
of the Chicago Great Western has sue
ceeded in forming a syndicate to un-
derwrite an issue of s5,O0O0OO Chicago
Great Western debenture bonds, to pro-
vide for the building of the proposed
extensions to Omaha and Sioux City.
Work on these extensions is to be
commenced next spring, but some pre-
1iminary grading may be done this year
The surveys have all been completed 1t
was Mr.. Stickney's Intention a year ago
to build an extension to Omaha, but the
Illinois Central got ahead of him, and
as at the time efforts We're being made
by the Morgan Hartman people to Sc
cure control of the Chicago Great West
ern, further action on the proposed ex-
tensions was deferred. These negotia-
tions failed to eliminate successfully,
1t being said that the price asked by
Mr.. Stickney was considered exorbitant
by the New York capitalists Since
then Mr.. Stickney, it is said, has
changed his mind. and Is now of the
opinion that the properly. if properly
rounded out and extended. is destined
to become one of the most valuable in
the west.

ney Said the Great Western was PLAN

an exceptional case. This sort OF thing
is happening altogether too frequently
nowadays. And what is the reason?
Is it not strange state of affairs
when parents look upon daughters
unexplained absence from home, at
night, as matter Of no particular anx-
'iety?
And vet is it not the custom in many
families to allow the daughter to go
away and stay indefinitely, knowing
nothing exactly Of her whereabouts nor
of what she is doing?
In this latest instance the girl was
young and pretty. They are all young
and pretty and no young woman who is
at all prepossessing and allowed to go
about at all hours alone is safe in a city
like this.
American parents trust their children
too much. 1t has been said that the ay-
erage American mother would not insult
her daughter by the espionage of a
chaperone. Instead, she allows young
responsibility, young Passion, young
Impetuosity, young Inexperience, to
have full sway-and then. when some
thing happens, she wonders!
The average young girl can not be
trusted any more than her brother, and
the consequences to her are more dire
than to him. Hence, more core is nee
essary in order to protect her.

REoPENlNG 0E SCHOOLS.

The greatest and most hopeful inter-
est in Iowa, the public school, reopens
this month in the state. In every sec
tion of the state are scenes of opening
activity and interest. More than half
a million children in the state take up
their work anew. Altho attendance is
not yet compulsory, the average intelli-
gence of the state is so high that near
ly all parents appreciate the benefits of
the schools and take advantage of their
opportunities. In nearly all sections the
school room is made as attractive and
comfortable as taste and means will
permit, and pupils are under the direc-
ton of the best talent and purest in
fuences obtainable.
Still. with all advantages and incen-
tives to educate, and with the best of
situations and opportunities open only
to those who are educated large num-
bers of the young entitled to school
privileges do not attend. An estimate
of % per cent is given as showing the
number of absentees. Many of these
have attended the primary depart
ments and have dropped out from ne
cessity or choice to take up active work
in industrial fields. Large numbers are
led to do this from necessity. while
others, with little thought of the depri-
walton to which they are subjecting
themselves, enter business before edu-
cation qualities them.
The growing intelligence of the world
enforces the axiom that I'VE must edu-
cate" Parents are coming to under
stand this more and more and are will
ing to deprive themselves of many
comforts to prepare children for meet
ing and overcoming the obstacles in life
by the equipment of good education.
