1He SEASON OF IAg IRAMp TOURIST.

With the warm days and summer
nights the roaming tramp makes his
appearance in the country. The lodg-
ing house and sunny street corners of
the city are deserted for the shelter OF
roadside trees by day and the camp in
shady clumps of wood and the cover
of vacant country houses and detached
barns by night. Homeless, masterless,
soaked in vicious dolce far niente, the
armies of the great unwashed are
kind. Begging, stealing, threatening,
they are an annoyance and a menace to
the country side SO long as summer en-
dures.
The full fedged tramp is utterly ir-
reclaimabie. He is dangerous para
site upon society and in no wise an OBJ
ject for the charity of the frightened or
foolish people who feed him. There is
no more excuse for the farm people
who give aid and comfort to this class
of parasites than for the lazy, louting
beggar who demands it. Prompt and
decided refusal of food and denial of
other privileges would soon make the
coutry as undesirable to tramps as is
the city. In these days of rural tele-
phones and ready communication farm
wives need not fear the consequences
of such refusal. Tramps are not OBJ
jects OF pity or real charity. Drive the
vicious hullking mendicant,. too lazy to
earn his own subsistence in a country
suffering from the lack of labor, off
your premises and hiss the dog after
him.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE STRIKE.

President Roosevelt has manifested
desire to use his influence to aid in an
amicable settlement of the great an
hraeite coal strike and has conferred
with Senator Hanna and others to dis
cuss methods of bringing it about. 1t
Is true he can only use his personal IN
Huence in discreet way to do this, and
yet as he is the most powerful person
in the United States when clothed with
the presidential office and as he Is
Known to be man OF persistent pur-
pose, courageous and resourceful, there
might be hope of success in this case.
But il he should fail-well. 1t would
lower the standard of executive infiu-
ence, and intensity the problem of set
Element.
This strike is warfare where the
combatants as firmly set their faces
against each other, and against reason,
as in the more deadly wars of mankind.
This very fact shows the. difficulty OF
making overtures. The union exercises
a tyranny over its subjects as fatefu'
and disastrous as the domineering mine
owners may where the union does not
exist Sympathies may and do run with
the workingman, but the fact above
stated must be conceded and can not be
concealed This is generally under
stood to be 4 free country, where every
citizen may regulate his employment to
suit his convenience and where he may
work at will, but it ceases to be such
when a man yields his liberty to a COM
bination that can unwisely deprive him
of employment and thus tie his hands.
It is stated that the great coal strike
has already cost $21, 100000. The most
serious loss falls upon the workingDlan,
tho the public and the entire nation
suffers as we'll 1t is for this latter rea-
son, largely, that the president is will
ing to do all he can to assist in bringing
about a peaceful settlement. The eff
fort is worthy the ambition of any man,
and yet it is one that is suggestive of
doubtful outcome, powerful as his in
fluence must be conceded to be-,

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Odebolt Chronicle, noting the
opening of grain brokerage in Sac
City, observes that "the deniaens of the
county seat will now be able to get ac-
ton on their money without hunting up
poker game"
The Sac Sun thinks "the defeat of
Mr.. Blythe is due probably to his DOM
ineering attitude in local politics. AS
long as his efforts were confined to die
tating who should hold local offices he
was uniformly successful; but when he
asked for something for himself, he was
no longer able to play one interest
against another and was easily de-
feated by man who has not been en-
gagged In the game of politics for the
mere pleasure of exerting power"
The Fonda Times remembers that
"back IN the nineties Jim Blythe was
generally considered the smartest poll
tician in the state" but thinks Sin these
latter days of political strenuosity it
takes different Way to Rule"
"The packers are willing patiently to
put up with . little government by in
junction" says the Sioux City Journal,
but government by brickbats and paw
ing stones causes them open annoy
ace"
The Ft. Dodge Post thinks the old
world would soon grow brighter if the
churches and good people made as
much of an effort to separate a man
from his sins as they do to separate
him from his rnoney'

KauaWha. June 9.-There is bust
man in Belmond who thoroughly en-
lows a practical joke. Can even appre-
riate one on himself, which is saying q
good deal. A year or so ago he pro-
posed to his wife that he would buy two
pigs if mis- wife would take care OF
them, that is, attend to the feeding OF
them. Said husband was to buy the
pigs, pay for the feed, and the wife was
to feed them and when they were
ready for the butcher one was to be
killed and kept for family use. while the
other was to be sold for cash ana the
wife to have the money. Everything
worked to a charm till along last Win
ter, when the wife backed out and
all winter long said business man had
ito slop the hogs" But womanli like,
when the time came for selling the fat
hogs said wife insisted on the butcher
making out the checks, 81, in her
rame. 1t was her hog. To avoid a
family row her husband consented. The
next day. before the good woman
cashed the check, she received writ
ten notice from the bank that they had
received an account for collection
which they would be pleased to have
her call and settle. She rushed UP to
the bank with her S21 check, which the
cashier being posted by the husband
outside offered to turn the check on the
account the bill of $21 being for labor
Of her husband in feeding her hog SO
many times at so much per feed. The
matter was compromised without a
lawsuit.

and sell his goods the following morn
ing. He can not utilize the railroad be-
cause Of losses thru injury delays and
cost of transportation. In some New
England regions the trolley lines have
partly solved this problem. But the
real solution is found in the auto truck,
which can be built of sufficient size to
carry several tons of fruits and yeSeta-
bles on one trip. With the truck
deliveries, farm produce of perisfa-
bic nature can be easily brought from
points fifty and sixty miles away from
the cities. The cost of such trucsE
would be from $4,000 to $4,000 but sew
eral farmers could join in this pur-
chase, and the cost of the maintenance
would be very small compared with the
cost of feeding and keeping truck
horses.

Two years ago it was prophesed in
this column that the making of so many
new towns in Iowa by The building of
Few railroads did not necessarily mean
more trade. The idea was that if the
new town of N--- started five new
stores in order for them to prosper
they must get their trade from other
nearby towns, i. e., steal 1t. For every
one knows that new town in any
Iowa county means only the additional
trade of the inhabitants of that par
ticular town, the farmers trade in the
country adjoining, being the same in
amount as previously. And now we
begin to see the effects of this new
town enterprise. In some of the older
nearby towns good store buildings are
vacant and rents much lower. In some
of the new towns stores are vacant and
property for sale at less than cost. Here
and there is town like this one that
is holding it's own, the trade they get
being drawn from SO many older towns
that the result Is hardly noticeable in
the other nearby towns. One thing is
very sure, the establishment of so many
new small towns in Iowa is preventing
any great growth of the large towns
and cities of Iowa.
