DR.. John Dill Robinson, of Chicago,

for two years. This is Sn unpleasant
subject but while we are on 1t let
US recall the story told by a trav-
eler regarding the personal habits of
the PatagonianS. These South Amer
leans did not battle either, but after
a few years an outside rind OF Pata-
gonian would peel Off and leave the
skin as pink and healthy, as that
OF a baby's. Possible DR.. Robinsons
position Is worth considering. No
boy battles naturally. He has to be
forced to 1t, thus showing that it is

Why should a small, lean man pay as
much to ride on a railway car as the
bulky Individual of large girth and
weight? The man Of much adipose
not only takes up more room but 1t
certainly costs more in coal or cleo

not make him pay by the pound, same

have been asked since the beginning

Somebody has remarked that the
primary aim of all sorts of associa-
lions for good government is to re-
form not politicians, nor boodlers, nor
scamps OF any kind, but the entire

taken. If all citizens will discharge
oil their duties as such there will be
no use for these special associations.

In this glorious and liberty loving
land, where the opportunities are I'M
limited, where education Is general
and intelligence the rule, why is 1t
that men who are trusted are dis
honest? 1t Is a fair question. No
one forgets the millions who are toll
ing honestly, who would wish their
hands to wither before they touched
dishonest dollar. But there are so
many bandits in high placesl st.
Louis has been in the hands Of hood
lers. Chicago Philadelphia, Grand
Rapids, New York and dozen more
have the same story to tell. Men
have held up their right hands and
sworn to deal justly in all things.
They have taken oaths before the
very people they have plundered.
They have cast reflection against
official integrity In this country that
vt will take years to wipe out. And
they were trusted! That hurts more
than anything else. You expect the
thug to be dishonest. The burglar Is
criminal, and no one believes that
he will be anything else. You bar
your doors and guard your vaults. For
him you Keep the gun and the dog.
He Is the enemy of society, and plans
can be made to defeat his enterprise
and punish his wrongdoing. But how
can you guard against the man who
looks honest, who has been honest,
who Is selected from among his fell
lows for honor, who makes every
promise that the law and the public
could ask to demand, and who steals
from his friends-the people-because
he has the opportunity? Do you won
der that there are men who insist that
every man has his prices" Do you
wonder that the simple integrity that
once surrounded men no longer con-
vinces? The robbers In high places
have done more than pilfer a few
thousands of the public treasures.
They have shaken confidence In nat
ural integrity-the honesty that ex-
lists for honesty's saass. The remedy :?
Who shall name 1t? Punish crooks
whichever and wherever possible, but
the most will be done with the young
err generation. America will have
to defeat scandals and boodlers In the
homes. Preach honesty to the boys.
Keep at 1t. Never lose an opportu-
| nifty to make clear the necessity Of
moral cleanliness. Make the rising
generation hate thief as they would

that he come into the fold and stand
for the doctrine of protection; that he
quit talking about reciprocity in com.
petitive products. which is an unrepub-

about free trade with Canada in farm

who have always been protectienists:
that he quit attacking republicanism
and the workings of the Dingley tar
if. which is the best tariff law ever
enacted. These are reasonable re-
quests. The doctrines which the gov

TWO CENT FARE

Reinbeck. Iowa. Feb. %. 1904.-Edi-
tor es-Republican: Some time
since bill was introduced in both
branches of the Iowa general assem-
bly, requiring the railroads of the state
to reduce the passenger fare to a uni
form rate of cents per mile for all
passengers over IL years of age. 1t
has long seemed to me that the present
rite of cents is exorbitant and that
II ought to be reduced to cents.
feel certain that such reduction
would not adversely affect the reVe-
nues OF the Iowa roads because at
least so per cent of the traffic now
pays but cents and n 25 per cent In
crease in the volume OF business would
make good the loss in revenue. If the
passage of a 2-cenS fare law resulted
irl decrease of the number carried
OIL passes and half-fare permits as II
ought to and probably would do. then
but very little increase in the present
volume of business would be necessary
To yield the same revenue to the roads.
am assured by very able railroad
man that, from a revenue standpoint,
there is no good reason why the peo-
pla of the state should not have fiat
rate Of 2 cents mile and that there
is n strong probability that such rate
would result in an actual Increase IN
the passenger earnings of the roads
No 2-cent fare bill will be enacted into
law unless its passage is demanded by
the people OF Iowa. The lobbyist Is
constantly on guard at Des Moines to
prevent any action he considers ad-
verse to the interests of his employer.
and unless the members OF the gen.
eral assembly hear from the people IT
is but natural for them to assume that
there is no sentiment In favor of the
measure. 1t is nearly thirty years
since there has been reduction of
na ssenger rates on the railroads of
this state aud submit that II is about
time for change. If the people of the
state want rates reduced they have
orly to make their wishes known In no
uncertain manner and 1t will be done.
II ii is to be done at the present ses-
sion there Is no time to lose. Let every
man who favors such legislation write
Mt once to his senator and representa-
tive and take pains to see that his
ntighbors do the same thing In addi-
ton to this you should see that this
article. or better one along the same
lines, is inserted in your local papers
ard as many people reached as quickly
as possible.
Reader. this communication is al
dressed TO you personally. provided
you are interested in the subject OF
which il treats. Don't wait for the
other fellow to do the work and then
curse the legislature If nothing is done.
We never get much in this world un-
less we go after 1t.
l am not making war on the rail-
roads, but l realize that they are not
likely to make the concession asked for
until they are driven to 1t either by
competition or legislation. To my mind
simple justice to the people of the
state demands that we be given the
rate asked for, but you may be assured
that 1t will not be conceded without a
fight. j have no az to grind nor any
interest in lower fares other than my
interest as a citizen of the state. I am
simply trying to push the thing along
because l believe In 1t.
