With footsteps as light as the spray on

She flashed through the stretch to the
two minute mark.
With a star in her face a jacket OF

A white leg behind and a very light
With a stride tina is frictionless, airy
and bold,
Lou Dillon paraded and trotted in two.
The dream of the breeder. it looked like

Which sparkle and futter on destiny's
shield,

Lou Dillon was victor, with Time in the
field.
Twas the aim Of her breeder to own such
a mare;
He saw her developed and trot in two
eight,
But his last debt to earth had to be set
tied e'er
The star Of his farm shot away on her
gait.
In his place there appeared a bold mar

PENNY BATHS FoRTHE POOR
A Plan From Bonn ON the Rhine to
Benefit Chicago.

A-
Floating bath houses will dot the
Chicago river next summer, and the
poor will have a chance to keep clean
at the rate Of 1 cent a bath, says the
Chicago Chronicle. Henry e. Weaver
will find the money to build the barges,
buy the towels and the first cargo of
soap, and the bath houses will be ex-
pected to pay for their keeping after
that. But this is not all. Artistic foun-
tains will adorn the ghetto district, and
It will be Mr.. Weaver's money that will
build at least one Of these.
"In Europe fresh running water does
much to make the cities attractive"
said Mr.. Weaver. "Why should not
the same be true in ChicagoY
The bath scheme comes from Bonn
on the Rhine. ''They have floating bath
houses there that measure 40 by 100
feet" said MI. Weaver. Thousands
battle during the season, and the inhab-
itants, no matter how poor they may
be, are always clean. The ACCESSIBILITY
Of a floating bath house may be readily
eel Sometimes the poor will, not trav-
ell far to battle, but bring the means to
their doors, and it is a different mat
ter. The barges are moored to the
bank and remain until the inhabitants
Of n section Of the city are clean.
Then they float down the river to an
other point. The charge of / cent will
pay the cost of keeping the baths. The
water in the Chicago river is plenty
good enough to battle in"

"HEALEY DELENDUS EST. .

sThe railroads are against Tom
Healey." This opinion has been SC
frequently given and from such var
iety of sources that We are beginning
to believe it is true.
The railroads are against Tom
Healey." Why?-There is no charge
that he is dishonest, or corrupt or q
demagogue. In all his Legislative
career there is no instance on record
where he has proposed or favored any
oppressive or unjust railroad legisla-
tion. There is no charge but that the
legislation he has favored has been
fair and above board and just alike to
the people and to the corporations. :.
The question then naturally arises,
why should the railroads be against
Tom Healey? Do they ask more than
even-handed justice? Do they wish
the scales tipped with favortism and
the bandage over the eyes of the God
dess to be trifie askew on the rail-
road side?
If they oppose Tom Healey because
he has not been subservient, are they
favoring some other candidate because
he is?

Can the mem bers of the Iowa dele,
impression become general throughout
Iowa. that in the important matter OF
the selection of Federal judge they
have allowed themselves to be intiu-
eneed by the railroads or by any other
single interest as snch?
This paper has never posed as an
agitator. 1t has never joined in dema-
gogic attacks upon corporate interests
simply because they were rich and
powerful.
We would however sound note OF
warning to the republicans of Iowa,
that it borders on the scandalous,
these tales of Chicago interviews With
railroad presidents with the federal
judgeship as the cause OF the confer
ence. We are heartily tired OF hear
the name of Marvin Hughitt or some
other magnate whispered with sort
of holy awe by Iowa politicians. Some
of our republican friends will say that
we are furnishing ammunition to de-
mocracy. 1t has always been our
opinion that If there is any house
cleaning to be done it is better to do it
oneself, than to wait until your place is
declared nuisance and some other
fellow comes in and does the cleaning.
If it is true, that honesty. ability,
high mindedness, a clean record and a
spotless life, count as nothing before
that sacred, awe-inspiring ultimatum
of Marvin Hughitt's "Healey delenda
est. {" it is time the republicans of Iowa
knew it and began preparations for a
general spring house cleaning.
In the matter of damages, it is the
veil known policy OF railroads to settle
if they can. on as fair terms as are
compatible wish their own interests.
but if the victim is not satisfied with
the railroads offer and carries the mat
ter to the courts, it is the policy of the
railroads to fight the case to the bitter
end and to make the litigation just as
expensive and difficult as possible.
This, they say, is done not so much on
account OF the Individual case, but as a
warning to others.
Is it possible that the railroad oppo-
sition to MIR. Healey is not only direct
ed against him but is intended as a
warning to others. Legislators must
not be too independent, they must be
very careful! how they deal with cor
porate interests, For Uncle Marve

DENIsoN 6. CARROLL 5.
Denison Wins From Carroll by Small
Margin on Home Grounds

On Thanksgiving day. on Denison s
atheletic park, occurred the last foot
ball game of the season. 1t was a good
day for foot ball. The air was cool and
invigorating, and what snow was or
the ground only added to the energy OF
the players.
The game was called at $50 Carroll
winning the toss and choosing to de-
fend the north goal. Denison kicked
off, Carroll carrying the ball back ten
yards. After a few futile attempts to
advance the ball. it went to Denison on
downs. Denison started in with rush
and pushed it to Carroll's ten yard
line, where they were held and the ball
went to Carroll. Carroll then hit Den
isons line for a few short gains when
they fulnbled the ball. Luke Weeks.

at Carroll's line, Denison kicked. The
ball was down on Carroll's ten yard

and by steady plunges carried the ball
to the center of the field. where they
punted to Denison, neither eide being
able to gain, there was another ex-

Carroll secured the ball and made a

score Denison 6, Carroll 8. During the
remaining Eve minutes of play, neithe r

the game ended with the score, Deni-

Denison started the game with rush
and out-played Carroll in the first part
of the game,Ibut did not seemlto be able
to keep up the pace set, for their game
lost the snap and was growing slow
when time was called. On the other
hand Carroll did not seem to have much
snap, but played steady game clear
