1 legislature more than half million.
The fact that the people were getting
out their hammers probably led the
governor to hunt up his AK.
An increase of the appropriation for
Iowa's representation at the st. Louis
/ fair is likely to be asked and should
meet with a flat refusal from the legis-
lature. Properly expended the sum al
ready appropriated should give the
state all the prominence needed or de-
sired. When did commission ever
have money enough?
Golfers for this week contains,
among a number of interesting articles,
la forceful resume of the Canadian tariff
situation by j. d. Whelpley. The arti-
Gle is entitled "Canada's Challenge to
the World" and throws strong light on
recent Dominion action affecting COM
mercial interests. particularly in the
/! United States and Germany The arti-
Gle is ably written and Illustrated with

| Canadian ministry. Taken in connec-
lion with the recent heavy emigration
OF Americans over the Canadian line, 1t
| is peculiarly timely.
| Grundy Center has Jack the Splitter,
who adorns the plate glass windows of
business houses with tobacco juice. The
business men are threatening tar and
feathers for the perpetrator if discov-
cred.
Ozonizing apparatus, for vitalizing
the atmosphere of the sick chamber,
may become a necessary part of the
physicians outfit. DR.. ]. e. S. Barnes,
an English medical man, reports having
used the ozonizer in q severe case of
pneumonia complicated with pleurisy,
and the result was an immediate and

Mel Powers, q Sioux City saloon
ist and nephew of Alderman Johnny
Powers of Chicago, has had his license
revoked for violation of the compact
;rtn ha ~,
Mayor Caldwell. Powers insisted on
keeping open after hours on the occa-
sion of the Shriners conclaye held in
Sioux City recently. He has held
strong political pull after the fashion of
His esteemed Chicago relative, but 1t
appears that the high-hsnded stunt will
not ego" with Mayor Caldwell. Saloon
lists over the state may sec q sisniff>-
cauce in the revolt of Sioux City, a
hotbed of anti prohibition sentiment,
against saloon domination. The saloon
is something to be permitted on suf-
ferance and thru expectancy and not
as force in city government or the
dictator of official policy. 1t is not
bakery and has no legitimate business
standing. The Sioux City incident
emphasizes this fact aud should be a
warning that the temperance sentiment
of Iowa has lost nothing thru the mulct
law and is in nowise ready to submit
to saloon domination.

railroad in Douglas county. Nebraska,
by just $66. of which amount $49.5O
represents the share which will go to
the county and school district and
$3.50, the amount by which the state
revenues will be increased. The Omaha
Bee thinks that to make such marked
increase in the burdens of the great
corporation the state board must have
strained itself awfully.
The republican leaders of Iowa have

services and the full texi of a harmony

I'd like to tell her something If dared; |
I'd like to whisper something in her
ear;
I'll do it, too, some day. If am spared,
