Dyersvllle-New Vienna R. R. Talk.

The construction of the Dyersville
New Vienna railroad promises to be
the formal beginning of the develop
ment of the extensive country sur
rounding the immediate vicinity of
the road. The promoters of the new
line have great plans for the future.
The road now being built between
Dyersville and New Vienna is the
first stepping stone in carrying out
the plans of wealthy farmers and
capitalists, who have long cherished
the hope. Although the length will
be only six miles it will have as ter
minal points two of the most flourish
ing locations in the vicinity. Dyers-
vile is much larger than New
Vienna and it is the contention Of
the New Vienna residents they have
been handicapped in the past by
lack of direct railroad communica-
ton with the outside world.
When the plans for tho Dyerville-
New Vienna road were first discussed
several moneyed men of New Vienna
saw in the proposed line an oppor-
tunity fot their towns advancement,
The industrious spirit manifested
by Jacob Kerper and other residents
was, to great extent instrumental
in the success of the venture. New
I Vienna will be the Headquarters fol-
the company.
1t is hopefully anticipated by thu
managers Of the new road the oppor
tunity will be presented soon to ex
tend the line northward from New
1 Vienna to embrace the territory o
Georgetown, Holy Cross, Luxembur,
and other important villages. Be
cause of the country's wealth it
thought the line would prove dis
tinct success. The residents in til
: vicinity of Holy Cross, Luxembourg
and Georgetown are clamoring fo
the extension. Without railroa
J, connection they are compelled
| drive many miles to reach eithe

The Fourth Estate.

WRITER in one of the foreign periodicals re-
Gently made the astounding statement that it was
better for the lower classes read sensational papers
than to go without reading. By sensational papers
presumably he means yellow journalism. What the
latter looks like we know not. We have never seen
it. It must be something terrible. The prefix
"Yellow' looks alarming. However if yellow Jour-
nalism consists of making feature of brutal MUIR
ders, sensational divorce trials, thieves and black
mailers, then the gentlemans point is untenable
The Fourth Estate has always championed the
cause of society and civilization. Its ideals have al
ways been pure and lofty. Its influence should be
used to uplft and steady the human It cannot
foster high ideals by compromising with dishonesty.
It accomplish nothing by catering to the pervert
ed tastes of the lower stratum of life. Such meth
DDS are dangerous. It is almost as dangerous as
digging into haystack with lighted torch in ones
hand.
This writer might have enlarged upon his theme.
If he had pursued the line of thought and ap-
piled the same hypothesis in other spheres of
all must admit that government is necessity. Law
and order must be upheld. How ridiculous it would
be for the representatives of the law to say the
lawless elements "Gentlemen as long as you will not
elevate yourselves to our standard we must sink to
your level" The absurdness Of such course is pat
ent to ALL It to that it is just as irrational
for decent newspaper to PROSTATE itself in the mre
it would be for the law to accede to the demands
of degenerates and criminals

The Fire Drill.

The value Of organization has again been at
tested to- In New York fire occurred in school
building containing twenty-five hundred children.
For a moment it looked tho panic had begun.
The excitement was intense The situation was per-
ilous However, organization was triumphant. AT
the call to take part in the customary fire drill, the
children obeyed promptly. Their fears disappeared
and they marched out of the burning structure like
heroes. Only few were overcome with absolute
fear. They saved by the teachers and the fire.
men.
This incident shows the utility Of the fire drill
in connection with public schools It's efficiency
never doubted It only remained for real fire to
occur to demonstrate that instruction along such
lines was Of practical benefit. This has occurred.
What might have been a catastrophe, ended fortu-
nately. It needs no further experiment. The fire
drill in the public schools is All that now
remains is to start such drill every schoolhouse
IN the country.

The White PLAQUE.

The United States government has initiated
move in it's postofice department that is going to
great hardship to many Of It's employees. The
new order demands that all those who are afflicted
with consumption must be Immediately discharged
from the service Heretofore consumptves looked
upon postofice positions snaps. The work is
light the hours short, and the pay satisfactory To-
day new era sets in The ravages of the white
Plague" must be checked No doubt the public will
welcome such a beneficial move. It is a sensible
act. If, as many eminent authorities claim, germs
are easily transmitted this action the part of the
federal officials will have powerful tendency as a
deterrent. When we realize the vast amount of
mail handled by an employee of postoffce during
the course of year, can then have some idea as
to the magnitude Of this danger.
There are other agencies that are deserving at
tention by the health department. The postofice
is not the only medium which has to the gen.
eral public Some of them are worse than sorting
letters Dairymen walters, clerks, ETC., all come in
close contact with the people Undoubtedly the Of
fcials at Washington made thorough investigation
before taking such drastic measures against con-
sumptives This action will lead to other reforms.
Before another decade has passed the board of health
will be given the power to grant certificates OF
health to those who wait the general public.
