Things that are scorned nigirls adorneo

We do not care how red her hai-.
How wretchedly she sings.
If she can make the money fly
That takes the place of S-ing3
Although her face Is homely,
About third grade her wit.
And she has feet that will compete
With box cars. what Of it?
Her bunch of money helps her make

oh. ladies. guard your beauty!
Make up your gowns for show;
Be modest, sweet. demure and neat
And curl your hair just SO.
But If you'd be the main gazelle
Be Mamie with the dough.

Ii there is anything Senators Hoar
and Morgan are not against, the Iowa
city Republican wants ii fotted out

The Hampton Recorders idea is thas
there should he a county assessor
whose business ii would not only be -
make the assessment, but see to th2
collection of omitted and delinquent
gaSes. Such an official would not come
in for the odium that now attaches TO
the tax ferret, as 1t would be his sworn
,iuty TO enforce the law But to sweep
the tax ferret Law off the books. ana
leave nothing in its place would not
only encourage tax dodging, but
make il reputable and respectable.
With regard TO Miss Cook. who IS
making a fuss because the artist lea-
viii deserted her for Ruth Bryan, the
Cedar Rapids Republican suggests thas
a woman who can't hold the man who
has proposed to her ought TO Keep SUI!

Of" in the Republicans opinion.
The Algona Courier notes that those
two doctors of evils social. Messrs.
Abrams and Rankin, disagree ON tn
state marshal proposition. Mr.. Rankin
alleging that what ails Mr.. Abrams IS
that he fears he VIII lose his job if
the law is enacted. And We have no
doubt" says the Courier. that people
generally are pretty Well convinced thaJ
it is the job that actnates both OF them,
Abrams makes IA living by Spying AMI
Rankin by talking. When one subject
fails Brother Rankin he tackles anoth-
er. and the marshal law serves his pur-
pose for the present
The Cedar Rapids Republican de-
clares unless there are lot of cranks
in the legislature which meets next
month the proposed marshal law for
the enforcement OF prohibition will
never be heard from. The people of
Iowa believe in home rule and in local
self government for the various COM
munities."
Nearly all the demand for the state
marshal law. says the Iowa City Re-
publican. comes from the so-caliea
prohibition counties. Can not they en-
force their own laws?'
The Charter Oak Times thinks the
republican national committee would
have done better had it named Septem-
Der . or October q as the conven-
ton date. instead of June u. The
Times believes that oth national cam
paigns are conducted on a low plane,

the damage of the country. The way
campaigns are run. the Times suggests
that one month is plenty.
With reference TO Superintendent.
Barrett's figures showing that Iowa
pays its teachers less. on the average
than any other northern state, the De-
corah Republican says: we confess
to a feeling of mpatience when sucn
data is used to conceal n larger truth.
viz, that the state of Iowa is one of
the most liberal (almost lavish) eN-
penders OF money in this direction.
The state. it seems to us, is unduly and
unjustly dishonored by that method OF

That Turkey.

Who stole the turkey? is now the question.
 Dn Wednesday evening, the 9;h instant. a dressrti--or rather un- dressed-turkey disappeared from from the window of an esteemed Beighbor, hanging at least 9 feet from the ground. that is. the turkey. It WAS not missed till the following day. when searci, failed to reveal it's whereabouts. But on that even ing our city marshal, who. by the way, is a very just and clever sleuth, noticed a few questionable eharac- ters entering a house occupied by some of them. His suspicious were aroused. anu he very cautiously entered the premises just as the last one of the party was about to sit down to an elaborate spread of turkey and other good things of earth but principally tur- key. Believing this to be the idsn- tical missing fowl that disappeared in such a foul manner; the most disreputable looking one of the party was put under arrest before he had an opportunity to taste a piece of the i'll gotten dinner. He was taken before the bar and ad. mittsd to bail in the sum of $250 and immediately returned to the scene of festivities only to find that there was not bone of the turkey left; even the dogs got in ahead oi him. Another turkey disappeared on Sunday night last and suspicion centered on very estimable gentle. man from the rural districts. q search party was instituted com. posed of some of our best men and the supposed offenders house searched. Every envelope. teacup jewelry box or other possible hid ing place was looked into but the bird could not be found; it hai since been whispered to us that the search party enjoyed a very pleas ant supper Monday evening.

Report on Copper Decision.

Report on Copper Decision.
 The s. F. EXAMINER published the following:
 VALDEZ, Nov. 2S-Judge Wicker. sham to-day gave his opinion con- firming the title of the Alaska Cop. per Company to the complete and undispnted ownership of the Bo. nanza mines. hack of Valdez, the key to the Copper river railway situation. The decision undoubt. edly means the building of the road as the Havemeyers are the finan. cial packers of the victorious com. pany.
 The Bonanza mines are valued at sl7,OO0,OOO. though this is just approximately. as estimates of thei, value can be made only from the surface indications.
 We wonder if this is approxi. mately truthful statement from the victorious side. If SO, it is oi great importance to Valdez. and indicates much for our future ben' eft.
