Why this political sacrifice Of
Mr.. Jolly should be pushed at a
time when neither himself, Mr..
Waters, or Mr.. Irwin are candi-
dates for Office is incomprehensible.
Why the "department" howls for
harmony" with one breath and
proceeds to murder republican stall
warts with the next lis one of the
wonders of this brilliant campaign
by this latest freak in newspaper
dom. Stab a man in the back with
one hand, punch him in the ribs
with another, spit in the faces of
his friends and insult the whole re-
publican party and then ask them
all to ''stand in" for Yates, is some
thing new in politics.
William jolly is too good man,
too honorable a citizen, too faith
full an official for the disowned,
discredited, and rejected thing.
(See Gazette April 5th.) that lies
on the doorstep Of Mr.. Woodcock's s
newspaper Office to set up as un-
worthy, unreliable, and dishonor-
able. If, however, he is not
butchered politically before the
people of Benton, it will be because
this candid and truthful statement
of the facts has more weight with
readers than do the hyena how1s
and doorstep figures of the thing
over the way.

1t is water on Lawyer Yates
wheel for the column "depart.
ment' to proceed with the effort
to kill off Commissioner Jolly. po-
litically. If taxpayers can be fool
ed into the belief that they are be-
ing robbed by the county court,
they will lose sight of the real
fact that it is the enormous state
tax resultant from legislative ex-
travagance that makes taxes so
high, That, in turn, will make
them use less scrutiny with res.
pect to the legislative candidates,
and it is by exactly such a condi-
ton that the cunning lawyer hopes
to steal into Office. 1t is hard med
icine for Jolly and for Jolly's sup
porters and friends, but it is just
the thing for Lawyer Yates. Every
time Mr.. jolly gets blow under
the belt, the lawyers senatorial
stock goes up notch. Of course.
the guiding motive ofthe "four-col-
umns' is spitework. but the lawyer
sees plunder in it for himself. 1t is
cute scheme for the senator, "
but it is a cold day when he hasn't t
some scheme.

WHY THOSE AFFIDAY7rsa

Out at a Kings Valley meeting
recently. Lawyer Yates, in making
a speech, stated. in effect, that to
back up his candidacy for senator.
he had a full and complete set of
affdavits. that these afhdavits ex-
planned everything, and that they
could be seen ON application. Since
he considers these afhdavits an
asset of his candidacy, Lawyer
Yates ought, by all means, to let
all the people know about them.
and of the fact that he has them
ready for instant use. The TIMES
invites him to avail himself of the
use of its columns to explain what
particular part of his past each
affidavit applies to. and how the
subject is treated. At what points
in his career does he think there
are weak spots that seem to need
to be propped up with affidavits as
precaution against possible col
lapse? When a farmer puts props
under stringer of his bridge, it is
usually because there are decayed
spots in the stringer.
Most people will regard Lawyer
Yates new method of campaign as
decidedly uniqne, because it is
doubtless the first time on record
that candidates own conscience
has attacked him so vigorously that
he had to resort to af6davits to
quiet it. Nobody else has attacked.

Hutchinson suggests that a great deal
of the unhappiness in married life is
caused by SILLY pride and foolish
fashion, If young married people
will make it their business to live
within their income and to be salts
fed with what they can have, their
happiness will be much greater. Judge

behind the man behind the gun?
The fighting man? He has medals.
He has statues. Shall the feeding man
have as his only memorial the vacant

side of the road?
1t is the feeding man that impresses
the water buffalo and sends him to the
front laden with rations, inglorious and
indispensable. If the water buffalo
carried cartridges should we not depict
his stupendous outlines on our front
pages and enroll him among the min

when he carries the things without
which Mars would never have his sta
tues? Statues are not given in reward
for starvation.

snobbery of Olympus. Dispel also the

"sILLY PRIDE AND FOOLISH FASH.
ION"

OF late there has been much said
of the divorce evil. Discussions of it's
cause, it's extent and possible means
of remedy have appeared from time to
time in the newspapers and magazines
in all parts of the country. Wide as
has been the scope of these articles
and divergent as have been the opin-
ions expressed there has doubtless
been much good already accomplished.
People have been set to thinking on
necessity for reform and have begun
to study this matter in it's various
phases with the hope of finding some
rational method of lessening the evil.
One of the most practical sugges-
lions in this connection that has APP
peared recently is that of Judge Will
liam Hutchinson, of Sioux City. Speak
ing from a judicial standpoint and
with regard to the cases that find their
way into the divorce courts, Judge
Hutchinson declares that Silly pride
and foolish fashion are at the bottom
of most of the marital disturbances"
Further Judge Hutchinson says:
"If 1 were going to do away with
the divorce evil, would begin at the
cause, as physician who undertakes
to cure human lille You can not
wait until the troubles break out and
then bring them into court and try to
cure such chronic condition. 1t has
it's origin too far back. One might as
we'll try to heal up a cancer or some
other constitutional disease.
"The place to begin cure for d.
vorces is in the homes of people be-
fore they are married. Kick out all of
the dirt, devil and debt from the home
of the boy and girl and throw silly
pride and fashion out of the back door,
and young girls and young men will
not expect so much after they are
joined together in holy wedlock. Ideas
of fine clothes and spring hats and a
hired girl and all of those things which
are learned in the home of the parents
cause unrest. The young wife has
been so used to having her fancies hui
mored that she grows tired of her own
home and she wants to have every
thing that mamma has.

WHY NOT THE GOVERNOR AND
STATE SUPERINTENDENT.

The governor of the state of Iowa
ana the superintendent of public in
struction are eX-officio members of the
board of regents of the State univer-
sity, and of the board of trustees of
the Iowa State college at Ames, and of
the State Normal at Cedar Falls. BY
virtue of their offices the governor of
the state and the state superintendent
OF public instruction have seats at the
council board Of each of these institu-
lions and they each have a vote. I'm
doubtedly the purpose of the law which
gave these officials seats and votes at
these various council tables intended
that these state officials should attend
the meetings of these boards and should
thoroughly inform themselves as to the
needs and purposes of these several in
| stftutions, and so far as we know most
| of our governors and state superin-
tendents have not neglected these du-
ties. Some of our governors have been
more attentive than others in these
| matters. notably Governor Gear Gov
ernor Larrabee and Governor Jackson.
Governor Shaw was regular attend
ant at the meetings of these various
boards, and we believe Governor Cum
Minis has given more or less attention
to them. The same thing is true of
our state superintendent. II we un-
derstand present circumstances Gov
ernor Cummins was an advocate of the
mileage tax principle for the support
OF these institutions and there were
many sound reasons for his position.
The adoption of this principle would
have done away with the scramble
for appropriations" which so vexes
| the soul of Senator Maytag that he
would turn the whole affair over to
one member and five assistants and

for things.
| Why not take the word of the COVER
public instruction? They are likely
to be as able men as will be appointed
on the board-probably ADLER. They
are likely to be just as just, and just
as impartial, and if the legislature
wants to escape responsibility why not
call in the governor and the state SUI
perintendent of public instruction, who

their opinion ought to be done? AS
a matter of fact legislators ought to
