IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.


The Cedar Rapids Gazette is con-
WINGED that THE cashier who, by forg-
ed paper, false entries, or other de-
vices, loots the bank, is a great deal
worse than the bank robber of the
more common type, for he does not
stop with the daily cash balance, but
! abstracts the savings of individuals,
the accumulation of years of toll and
self denial, wrecks the private fortunes
OF directors. responsible for the condi-
ton of the bank, and puts blight up
on the banking business that Is harn-
full to all other businesses. The de-
faulting or the embezzling bank cash

persistency in crime that is not often
encountered. His stealinSs quite fire.
quently cover terms of years, and it
is shown that defalcations, forgery or
other crime has been the study Of his
career" The Gazette insists also that
THE judge who can not appreciate
these simple truths, should leave the
bench"
whatever may be thought of the
saloon, it is a recognized legal insti-
tuition. and so long as 1t is conducted
with decent regard to the requirements
of the mulct law, it should be free
from petty and spiteful prosecution"
argues the Register and Leader.
The hand of the law cannot be laid
too heavily upon saloonkeepers who
willingly violate the terms on which
they are permitted to do business. But
it Is not in the interest of the tax
payers nor of good morals to harass
those who are making a reasonable eff
fort to comply with the statutes and
city ordinances"

THOSE poklNG. FRYING COMMISSIONER

THOSE P0kiNG, FRYING COMMISSIONER
Chicago policemen will agree with
CONGRESSMAN Hepburn that commits
sions are prying, nosing annoyances,
disturbers Of time honored conditions
and generally speaking Objectionable
creations. The interstate commerce
commission is begging with aggravat-
ing insistence for the power to reduce
plethoric freight rates. Taking it's cue
doubtless from the national commits
Chicago is getting ready to alternate
fat policemen. If President Powell
may have his way portly defenders of
the city peace will be suspended until
they have exercised and bantam'zed
e themselves down to the avoirdupois and
lateral measurements that jibe prop
erly with their perpendicularity. There
are to be no more fat policemen.
Perhaps no more radical innovation
has ever been conscientiously propos-
ed. Fat accumulates on a policeman
as naturally as moss grows on a fallen
log. His is a fattening job. The
street cars convey him without money
or price and lack of exercise induces
to flesh. The peanut stand pays trib-
ute to his star and COOLERS make for
adipose. His can is legal tender at the
saloon and beer is VIGOROUSLY a
breadth producer. He just naturally
has to get fat. The civil service COM
mission is assuming too much. No fat
policemen? There have always Leen
tat policemen and always will be. AS
well deny cellular tissue to tire stall
fed OK! The civil service commission
of Chicago feebly standing in the path
of natural and inevitable process is
another King Canute commanding the
waves. Policemen are constitutional
~ fat Ergo, the ruling of the Chicago
civil service commission is unconstitu-
tional.
Let us hope that President Powell's
crusade will be confined to Chicago.
U eW cues there are III ~" a eiAele Aa'i "
boast policemen rotund and massive
whose wide-legged walk is the very es-
sence of majesty. In port and ponder
osity they typify the full fed prosper
ity Of the state. Let Chicago pine for
policemen emaciated and anemic but
leave Iowa her fat policemen, fat cat
tie, fat hogs and fat horses, the SYM
bols of prosperity and evidence of
larders lined with material comforts.

THE BEST FAIR.
New Sharon Start
All in all it was the best fair the as
ISOLATION ever had, there being enough
cas- on hands to pay all awards and
leave a small surplus. Thus was the
wisdom of resolutely enforcing de-
cency, sobriety and order thoroughly
vindicated, and it goes without saying
that hereafter this will be the policy
standard of all future exhibits at
New Sharon. 1t is now fully estab-
lished that whisky, beer, drunkenness
anr immoral shows are not necessary
to success. We feel highly gratified
and we know that mighty majority
of the people Of this community are
filled with the spirit of rejoicing over
the outcome. From this time forward
a greatly increased interest in these
annual exhibits should be manifested
in a practical way.
SOMETHING THE MATTER.

the penitentiary, but who had appealed
the case and was out on bail. The
killing was done by the Infatuated
brother of the young girl who was the
victim of the crime. Why should
man convicted of such a crime be out
on bail? A convicted murderer who
appeals his case is not allowed to be
out-on bail. The family of the girl

have ed in mortal terror of this man
ever since they brought him to JUS
tice and his appearance drove the
brother quite frantic, hence the unfor-
tunate mistake.
Suppose this case had occurred in
the south or suppose it was in Iowa
and colored man had perpetrated the
crime, would he be out on bail? Very
likely the men who had strung him up
with the sanction of the community
would be seeking bail. and no doubt
getting it. 1t is very strange, and yet
it is not SO very strange after all, when
we consider the attitude Of the world,
that a crime committed against the
women of a mans family will drive

cheaper gain than corn and prairi


hay, Corn, oil-meal, and corn-stover
(stalks without ears) produced gains
almost as cheap as alfalfa and corn.
Corn, oil-meal and sorghum gave good
gains, but somewhat smaller than
either stover or prairie hay fed with
oil-meal The quality of the cattle
at the close of the experiment was,
however, equal to that of the alfalfa
lot. The fact that the cheapest gains
of all five lots were made on corn and
alfalfa, emphasizes the importance OF
growing protein on the farm in the
shape Of alfalfa or clover.
The cost of gains being only
slightly more with corn, oil-meal and
slower, also emphasizes the import
ance of curing the stalks in shocks for
winter feeding. Corn stalks In this
experiment, (Which was early cut and
we'll cured) proved just as valuable as
prairie hay.
The third important fact shown by
this experiment is that when corn and
prairie hay are most available there
should be fed with it some protein
rich food like oil meal, Cor probably

this experiment the oil-meal produced
enough larger gain to make 1t worth

THE PASSING OF A KING.

After a reign of many days longer
than his predecessors, King Corn of
Iowa, has joined the majority. His
early youth was passed in peculiarly
disturbing and unhealthy conditions,
and many of his anxious subjects
feared permanent injury to his physi-
cal makeup, but an inherited vitality,
coming from many generations OF
strong, healthy Iowa progenitors,
brought out, later on, an unusually
vigorous state of health, which con-
tinued until he reached the full age of
this royal family. He passed away, dy-
slightly fastened in his departure by
an attack of pneumonia on the 18th CT
September, caused by taking a severe
cold on that date, from which he never
fully recovered.
Words fail us in recounting his vir-
tues, his inestimable value to citizens
of this commonwealth, and his constant
and invaluable worth to all. Suffice It
to say, his death leaves the people of
Iowa with one hundred millions of dol
lars in his treasure box, which, divided
as it will be among all of his subjects,
rich and poor, will do much to add to
their comfort, and prosperity. Other
nations have their emperors, their
cars and their sultans, but Iowa has
only one king. The king is dead;
long live the king!'' More power to
the dynasty of King Corn.

THE BOND ISSUE.
Proceeds VIII Probably Be Available
Before July 1.

A lengthy communication was received
yesterday by Mayor Drennen from Dill
lion & Hubbard, the New York bond at
torneys who were employed recently by
the committee of city officials to report
on the legality of the bond issue Of $780,
900 by the city, for the purpose of Sc
curing funds with which 10 erect new
high school and two grammar schools
The bonds, as has been stated, have been
sold to A. l.. Rich & Co., a bond house
of Cincinnati. but at the suggestion of
Mayor Drennen and Aldermen Henry B.
Gray and Robert H. Tnacn and Eli p
Smith of the board of education, the
bond lawyers were employed while In
New York to thoroughly investigate all
matters pertaining to the bond issue. In
their communication the attorneys ask
for certified copies of cerrain proceedings
of the city council, ordinances, resolu-
lions, state laws, and their data relative
to the financial conditions of the munich
pality, all of which will be prepared and
forwarded to New York Immediately by
City Attorney Edward ID. Smith.
It Is expected that the bond issue will
be ready to pay over to the city the $780,
900 for the bonds on or before July l.
