That after startling the whole state
with stories to the effect that the Rock
Island shops were to be removed both
from Valley junction and Cedar Rapids
to Moline, the Des Moines newspaper
men and correspondents have begun de-
nying it, leads the Ottumwa Courier to
remark that THE system followed IN
that city is like nothing SO much as
the plan of the democratic party-state
something as fact today and tomoe-
row, deny it."
The Iowa City Republican hasn't read
the Iowa railroad commissions report
but from a cursory glance over its
pages, it appears to be full of thrilling
adventures, graphically told, In the
charming literary style for which the
board is noted"
The Clinton Age. democratic paper
that has always been long on common
sense. says: The action OF Postmaster
General Payne in refusing to sanction
the name of Vardaman for a postoffice
in Mississippi. will meet with approval
by decent people everywhere. Governor
Vardaman of that state is charged with
slandering women and men, and among
others the mother of President Roose
welt. The American people will not
stand for any such act OF indecency
and we are glad to see that democrats
are the most forward in their denun-
citation Of the Mississippi governor"
The frequent announcement Of DEM
ocratic deserters begins to impress the
Clarinda Herald "as sort of stan-
pede from the mossback ranks. 1t IS
very much the same as it was eight
years ago, when the gold democrats
We're deserving Bryan and the result
will be about the same when the cleo
ton returns are brought in.'
IAN idea of democratic harmony may
be gained from the fact that every leader
lodges and shudders when another
leader endorses him." suggests the
Clinton Herald.
Wit is all In the training" asserts the
Webster City Freeman Tribune, they
learn to apply ones self to whatever
is before them. The smaller cities are
full of boys who are never taught the
most valuable lesson one can ever Learn
how to work; and as a result there is
growing UP class of shiftless citizens
that will add no strength to our civili-
zation."
There is a suggestion OF hysteria IN
the Dubuque Telegraph's estimate of
the Parker speech of acceptance. Can
dor, integrity and firmness; instructive
love of justice and the capacity to ac-
curately determine 1t, love of peace of
order; abiding faith in the people. in the
constitution, in American character;
devotion to generic democracy, the
highest good of the greatest number,
equality to all-these are the character
stics of Alton b. Parker, as revealed IN
his admirable letter of acceptance" ac-
cording to the Telegraph.

WHY BOYS LEAVE THE FARM.

[By Michigan Doctor.]
Why do boys leave the farm? Well,
one of the reasons Is that from infancy

Nothing but farmer" and Too good

A SAN DIEGO dispatch says the

A SAN DIEGO dispatch says the grand jury has recommended the abolishment of the office of coron- CT and public administrator. Someone, of course, would have to discharge the duties of these offices and perhaps they can be as we'll done at less expense, Ger tainly, there has been great abuse ot the discretionary power uf a coroner in coming clear over here at an outrageous cost to the couu- ty, to hold an inquest that jus tice could do as well. To pay d coroner's mileage for over three hundred miles for n job that a lo- cal officer could do is pretty strong argument for the abolish. ment of the office.

 Imperial Canal system. that z. N.

That hi- iiva from thc first was to get it just ns cheap a- possible and if llr people we're satisfied to pay tj.OOO- OOO hu was satisfied.
 r. fl stanley ui BraWlcy makes the statement that hc had a conversation with r. \. Chaplin just after the con tract had bcvn signed with the Caiiiur- mia Development Cu. by eight ui tle eleven directors of the Water Users Association, and Mr. Chaplin said after he was told of the price agreed uIou, etc, that it was all right aud if he had teen invited to the meeting hc would have been in the drnl with the rest oi the buys We Arr not advised that NIT. Chaplin takes any other position even at this date than the position ascribcd him in the aloNc.
 IL seems tO us there k one thing above all others that should toe understood by the people which seemingly is not un- derstOOd, and that i- this: li they de- sirr to become owners ot the Imperial Canal System that gT,Atr-t progress can bc made by working Go perfect harmony aud all pulling Ht the -auic end ui the rope. Whether public ownership. or whether the Imperial Canal system re- talms the property Oi the California D'- velOpmrut Co. iu reality cuts but little pr no tigurr so far as the flow ot water Is concerned during the present year. or, perhaps fl Chief Engineer NeMril's statement Is correct, for the next three years the policy oi uur people -h"uld b,i tu turn their attention tu farming their lands to the utmss-t, aud remembering that II the deal does not gn ,hruugh with the California Development c.. there aI. no attorney f,''~ to pay thv Wash ingtnn attorneys at all, aside from the retainer fee oi g. .5UU.
 There K one other thought that is worthy of consideration. Ihaycr * Rankin. cuuusclurs ai law, Wnshimgtou, D.

 IL Is understood there are 300.OOO acres oi laud on tl. Mexican side that IS entitled to water under MT Heher's agreement with the Mexicat govern mrnt. In the contract with the C. ID. Co. and the Water Users Association, NIT. Heber retained jO, O,uOO acres all told, which, added to the 5000 acres of water rights now proposed ,o be given tu ihe attorneys, Thaycr & Rankin, as the contingent attorneys fee, will still leave 2OO,UOO acres ot Mexicau water rights as an asset belonging tu the lnI- perial Valley Water Users Association, providing the people become the owners of the lmperlal Canal system.

CARTER AND COUNTY LAW.

Governor Carter, speaking freely be-
fore the County Commission, Is char.
acterized by the morning paper as
making several knifc.holes in the
County Act balloon II the Governor
is approaching the county law with the
well known knitting policy of the morn.

OF a traitor than the recognized enc
mics of the law.
Proper Interpretation. however. OF
the Governors remarks carries no sug'
Restlon OF knitting the county act or
that the principle of local self govern.
ment, which the act will seek to salts
~. Is not safe In his hand.
Governor Carter In his talk with the
Commission last night. went at the
matter in hand more from the stand.
point OF one who recognized the din.
culties aud honestly sought way out.
than Of a public leader who shaded his
expressions with view TO their polit.
ical effect. The county law does pre-.
sent some difficult tasks. None denies
that although enemies OF the law ear
nestly seek to eXaggerate difficulties
into impossibilities. That's their
game. The honest workers Of the I er.
rltory. however, know that straighuor'
ward discussion is the only direct and
competent method Of reaching prac.
tical conclusions, and the Governor
has been good enough to give his
views, free from discounts for apparent
political advantage. There is no occa
sion for evasions. The problem Is Ia
hand TO work out. II Is best met by
intelligent recognition Of the most
knotty portions.
The plan OF providing law for the
organization of towns and municipal
tiles is gaining very much in favor, and
naturally SO, as the township Is the
proper basis OF organized government
II Is a question. however. whether ia
some. this does not appear more at
tractive because II Is something diff
ferent. It would certainly he very
proper TO pass an enabling act Tor tho
organization Of towns and municipali'
ties to supplement the simple county
law contemplated.
In CsnvRssing the situation Cover
nor Carter sees work ahead that he re-
fers TO as an almost insurmountable
task. 1t Is safe to say, however, that
he is not nor is the commission over
awed by what represents a business
proposition in transfer OF property
now Territorial, to the local govern
ments. Reforms are not accomplished
without hard work and the readiness
10 do exists among the public spirited
citizens OF the Territory.

take care of the poor sick up to GER.

hospitals should. out Of their own
funds. become Irresponsible. Subsidiz-
ing the hospitals means that the cost
comes from the Territory's revenue,
from the taxes paid by the people.
