ton that exists between the workmen
and the manufacturer. This point is
made with special reference to the use
of labor saving machinery. In Eng
land there is continuous antagonism
on the part of laborers against new de-
vices in machinery, and especially
against the Importation of such inven-
tons. Mr.. Abraham points out that
only by keeping abreast of Industrial
development can a country hope to
cope with other countries that pur-
sue that course.
There should be no outside attempt
on the part of state league to en-
force the mulct law in Clinton" says
the Clinton Age, noting the designs
of the Anti-Saloon league upon the
eastern section of the state. But the
Age fails to give any good and suf-
ficient reason why Clinton saloons
should be excused from the legal tax
assessed upon all saloonists in Iowa
or why they should not conform to the
provisions of the mulct law. There is
really no reason why fish should be
made of one and flesh of the other.
Clinton should do it's own houseclean-
ing, or not find fault with outside in
reference. The river cities have been
notorious in their disregard of the law
and the balance of the state would not
shed tears over the sorrows of Clinton
saloonists if they were compelled to
conduct their business legally.
The automobile is being tested for
use in army equipment. If it is as
terrible in war as judging by news
paper reports 1t is in peace it's adop-
ton would create as great change as
the invention Of smokeless powder.
King Christian of Denmark held the
Saith anniversary of his birth lately
He was surrounded on this occasion by

The Keokuk Gate City and the Ce-
dar Rapids Republican are finding
fault with their meals. The first
named paper declares ANY dishwasher
out of a job is considered competent
to do the cooking and in too many
instances is engaged for the purpose"
Now these epicures are wrong. The
Iowa cook is the equal of the average
the traveller gets as good or better
meals at Iowa hotels than he would get
at home. This Molsberry business is
affecting the Gate City's liver.
General Shafter is to be a candidate
for governor of California. He is bored
by the life of retired soldier and
wants something exciting. He will
probably find the excitement entirely
sufficient to make him forget Santiago.
1t is proposed in Chicago to rename
Clark street by changing it to Nc
Kinley avenue. With this movement
the country at large will not agree. The
collection of tumble-d down resorts of
vice that constitute South Clark street
will scarcely commend itself to the
general public as a fitting monument
to the memory of a typical American
president. 1t is enough that the mem
CRY of the great explorer should be
connected with this street of dives and
degradation without hawking at the
great name of Mckinley.
st. Louis will scarcely exhibit her
municipal assembly at the fair. There
lis scarcely time to scrub them into a
condition fit for exhibition. The re-
port of the grand jury characterizes
it as an organized gang of illiterate
and rascally plunderers, who have con-
tinued their corrupt and venal prac-
tees for SO long unhindered that they
have come to regard Doodle extorted
from corporations and business men
as the legitimate perquisites of Office"
rhetorical effort almost worthy of
the esteemed State Register.
AS test of pronunciation the Lon
don Chronicle submits the following:
wife, make me some dumplings of
dough,
They will be better than meat for
my cough.
Pray let them be boiled till hot through
But not till they are heavy or tough.
Now, 1 must be off to the plough,
And the boys, when they've had
enough,
Can keep off the flies with bough.
While the old mare drinks out of
the trough"
The referendum has been tried in
Manitoba with results most gratifying
to the government. The conservatives
secured the passage of a prohibitory
act which promised to embarass the
government. 1t was referred to the
