Never Seriously Injured.

No sketch of Fultz would be complete
without the statement that despite the
fact that he has played in nearly one hun
dred football games. many of them
against the heaviest and most formidable
teams in the world. he is neither manned
nor Scared and is as robust and active
as ever before in his life. AS a half
back his usual position. he has had much
of the line buckins and end running to
do He has gotten in almost every play
and won honors by his brilliant individual
work In all his career he has
never had to retire from a game
owing to injuries but three times,
and in each case was found behind
the line again in the next game. He
weighs about 156 pounds, but is sinewy
and muscular and uses his head in his
play as we'll as his feet. His record is a
refutation of the theory of many that
football is brutal sport. It is a game
for men conditioned for it, and not for
tender, inexperienced youths.

SHERIFF RECEIVES NO PAY.
Being 81 Republican the Dubuque
County Supervisors Neglect Him.

Being 8. Republican the Dubuque
County Supervisors Neglect Him.
Dubuque, Oct. 27.--Sheriff Steiner
has not drawn cent of the salary pro-
vided for him by law since he assumed
the duties of his Office, on the first Mon
day of last January. The democratic
supervisors say that no sheriff has
drawn any money since the law fixing
the sheriff's salary at $4,000 per annum
went into effect; but this statement can
be shown to be untrue. The result Is
that Mr. Steiner has to borrow money
at one of the city banks, and pay inter-
est on il, in order to get funds to con-
duct his office. There is not another
county in the state where the sheriff is
treated in similar manner by the
board of supervisors. He has asked
democratic and republican sheriffs con-
cerning this matter and all have told
him that they had no trouble in secur-
ing their salary in quarterly INSTALL
ments. The author Of the law says 1t
was never intended that the sheriff
should be kept out of his salary for a
whole year. It is because Mr.. Steiner is
a republican sheriff that he is deprived
OF his salary for year. People ac-
uuainted with the facts look at the
matter in this light, and say, in view Of
the fact that the same rule has not
been followed when democratic sheriffs
were In office, that it can not we'll be
looked at in any other light.
The only money that has come into
the sh,ariff's hands since his induction
into office. has been in the form of small
fees in civil cases. The law places the
sheriff's salary at $4,000 per annum. II
the fees of his Office are sufficient to
pay it, it is paid out of such fees. but If
the fees are not sufficient to pay 1t, the
amount unpaid must be paid out of the
county treasury. The law also provides
that all fees in excess of s3,500 shall be
turned into the treasury by the sheriff.
Official life is being made as burden
some as possible for Sheriff Steiner.

The Iowa Idea.

TGovernor Cummins at Chicago.l
Fortunately. while the combinations
produce many things, they have, as yet.
been able to secure monop'ies in few
things; but avarice is persistent, and
what may be accomplished in the flu
ture no man dare predict. Therefore,
tho republicans Of Iowa say that when
trade in any protected commodity
reaches the point Of single producer,
the tariff duty upon that commodity
shall be suspended until the laws of
business resume their rightfuI sway.
There is here no menace to lawful in
dustry, no threat against the proper
employment Of capital. Monopoly is
crime that men need not commit, and
thc suspension Of the tariff during the
existence Of the offense will withdraw
at least one motive that induces greed
to violate the laws Of the land. Pro-
lection is the essential principle of re-
publicanism, but competition is the
eternal law of industrial life. We
should, and will, enforce both; but If
temporarily wealth ignores the latter
and erects itself into a monopoly. then
the consumer has a better rightto CONF
petition than the producer has to pro-
lection. Competition we must have,
that of the republic II possible. that Of
the world Il necessary.
