Woodward, April 21.-Some one told
the writer that the women of Mason
City had formed (and it was in sue
cessful operation) society whose OBJ
ject was to keep clean the streets and
Irising women have divided the city
into districts. and committee has
charge of each district. According to
the writer's informant the city authors
ties are spurred into activity, non
residents owning property are written
to, the don't-care lot owner is shamed
and the results are a general improve
ment in street lots and alleys. This
surprised relator says they CHEESE
women) actually plant vines to grow
over old, unsightly buildings
All this and more was suggested by
the appearance of this town. Fire has
has cleaned out nearly all of the small,
ramshackle buildings on the main bus
mess streets. In their place has been
erected fine brick one and two-story
store buildings. This street is wide and
kept clean. Then. too it seems a mat
ter of pride to keep houses painted. and
sidewalks in good condition. In word
Woodward strikes stranger as a
prosperous town.
Not long ago this same writer was
in an Iowa town where the first thing
to strike stranger was the condition
of the sidewalk leading from the depot
to the hotel Many broken boards and
a general neglect of it made it an un-
safe place at night. And the next day
the sidewalk of the whole town showed
the same uncared-for condition. A dead
cat (several days dead) was in the
street in front of the hotel. The clerks
swept out the contents of the store
floors into the street. Paper, hay, rags,
and broken boxes We're in evidence in
front of the stores. Uncleaned windows
were in grocery stores where the barrel

game Of politics; Bryan, presumably
sincere and unquestionably unsafe thru
his very sincerity, have one and al
been condemned by the democratic
newspapers as unavailable for leader
ship. And last of all, Mr.. Richardson
whose niche in history is made secure
by his part in the Christmas fiasco, is
frying upon the gridiron of editorial
censure His leadership is character
lied by the democratic press as hest
tant, timid, weak and vacillating. He
is conceded no match for even the
weaker of the republican leaders and
his abdication is being insisted upon by
democratic editors. They are calling
aloud in the wilderness for a leader and
an issue and their only answer is "the
echo of their unavailing cry"
1t is also true that leader can bn
no stronger than his party; and the
democratic party is strong only in a
negative way. 1t is an excellent fault
finder but a failure in initiative. Its
business has been to denounce the pol
icies and reforms instituted by the OPP
position. 1t has been chiefly valuable
as an equipoise to the party of progress
and the weakness SO condemned in it's
leaders is inherent in itself. MIR. Rich
ardson has simply followed the policy
of his party. He has led the minority
in an effort to embarass legislation of
the majority. They have voted all ways
on the Cuban question simply to make
trouble. 1t was willing to raise a scan
dial against congressman on grounds
upon which justice of the peace
would have refused warrant. The
policy of the party has been to deny
what the republicans affirmed, not to
discover and assert principle in gov
eminent. Thus it is of small use for the
democratic press to decry it's leaders in
or out of congress. Like master like
man Is as true in politics as in bust
ness. The leaders of the democracy are
what the principles and the policies of
their party make them and that party
has been wrong on every great ques-
ton for years. How can it expect to
produce great leaders?

The school house had not been painted

We're a long ways from suggesting any
particular regard for the decencies OF
life. 1t is needless to all that the hotel
OF the town was in keeping with the
whole business. The sink in the office
threw out AN odor which filled the whole
room. The landlord could not be ac-
cused of neglecting his personal APP
pearance. He simply had no idea OF
taking care of himself, his Office or his
business.
Now if the writer was to give the
name of this town travelling men would
agree that the above is not bit of ex-
aggeraton. Only the writer fails to
mention it, he may be obliged to go
there again. "They do lots of business
there" but to the SEriter's personal
knowledge it is not rs good a town.
business-wise, as it was ten years ago.
Men don't "move their families there
to educate their children" It's getting
to have hard name. More than one
business man has moved away from
there (the writer knows them and the
town they are now in) and store build
ings and residence property are worth
less then ten years ago. There are
several vacant store buildings there to-
day. Contrast that town and some 9TH
ers like it with Woodward and many
other prosperous clean towns in
Iowa. Dirt filthiness; neglect of the
streets and alleys. implanted buildings
and dilapidated sidewalks don't pay.
Putting it the other way, they cost
money.
In Shell Rock the other day, by the
way there's a nice clean town, with a
beautiful river running thru the center
of 1T! the writer was told of "a doctors
squabble" that illustrates how infec-
tious diseases get hold in a commu-
nifty. 1t seems there was throat trou-
it diphtheria and demanded quaran-
tine. Another doctor was called in and
said it wasn't. Meanwhile the first
mentioned doctor stuck to 1t, had a
bacteriorical examination and sent for
members of the state board board Of
health. The local board of health be-
ing divided in opinion, naturally the
business men and citizens also took
sides. Finally the state board of health
decided that it was diphtheria ESQ the
writer is told) and a quarantine was
established and enforced. This account
iss given here to show why the epidem-
lie of smallpox continues in Iowa. In
many towns has the writer been told
of almost exact duplicate action when
a case of Cuban itch, varioloid, chick
enpox or smallpox is developed. The
writer presumes that ali of these doc
tors and these citizens are sincere in
their opinions, but just the same it's n
had thing for community. In at least
three towns visited by the writer such
condition existed till one of the sick
persons died of genuine. old-fashioned
and then it was astonishing
to notice the sudden unanimity of
opinion and the thorough establish
ment of rigid quarantine.

SMALL ISSUES MAKE SMALL LEADERS.

SMALL ISSUES MAKE SMALL LEADERS.
The democratic party is in the mar
ket for an issue and a leader. So far
1t has been unable to find the one or
accept the other. 1t has made several
attempts to create dissatisfaction and
SOW dissension In republican ranks, but
with the exception IL the flutter over
Cuban reciprocity has lamentably
failed in it's endeavor to shake the solid
front of the republicans. In this one
instance, led by republican leaders.
they assisted in raising family row
that attracted momentar.y attention.
but this difference will be settled inside
the family circle and the democracy
left to continue It's search for an excuse
for a campaign.
No party is greater thar its issues or
stronger than its leaders and If the
democratic press is to be admitted in
evidence that party has neither the
one nor the ether worthy Of following.
