IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.
"Tt is quite true that the senate is
wearing a smile these days, but it
isn't the kind that wont come off, :
remarks the Waterloo Courier
III anybody has to be sent to the
rock pile the Monticello Express
thinks 1t should be the man who de-
veloped the drunkard's thirst and pap
dered to his apptite. Give the poor
devil with. u passion for drink. and a
weak will, the chance for reformation"
urges the Express.
| Next time" advises the Perry Ad-
vertiser, IF Col Hepburn desires a
| position in the reserved seats, he
should buy a ticket at the box office
and come iii at the main entrance
with the crowd"
Now that the house and senate are
Overwhelmingly republican since the
new members were sworn In Satur-
day, the Muscatine Journal believes
The horn of plenty ought to bulge
at the top and bottom during the next
four years.
Noting that Minnesota wants to get
its university out from under the in
fuence of the board Of control, the
Davenport Times suggests: "In this
there Is moral for Iowa"
1t Is the opinion of the Spirit Lake
Beacon that THE time has come for
Iowa to Join the procession of states
moving on the free pass The Bea-
son insists "The legislature ought to
take up the matter in good conscience
and candor. The movement ought to
proceed on the assumption that almost
all men who could get it have used
free transportation to greater or less
extent, but that the practice by COM
mon consent ought to stop. A phari-
saical spirit on the part of anti-pass
bin promoters Is as unwise and lily
founded as it is unsuccessful. But for
this fact an effective statute would
years ago have graced the law OF
Iowa Based upon frank acknowl-
edgement of past and present condit-
ions and a practical recognition OF the
abuses involved 1t will be no difficult
matter to reach this contamination at
the next legislative session."
The more the Cedar Falls Gazette
thinks the matter over the more 1t be-
comes convinced that Legislation is
not the remedy for immortality. Ii 1t
is necessary to remove all temptations
before the world can be brought to
saved state, the world is in bad
plight, because there will always be
temptations. People must be educat-
ed to resist what is evil. We are GER
tain to touch elbows with evil all of
our days and we might as well make
up our mind to it. We cannot kill
evil, but thru proper education we may
kill the desires for evil"
The Ta,na Northern says DR.. Osler
is away off. IF his community is like
Gladbrook," continues the Northern,
che might use several bottles of chlor-
oform at home among the young. Go
down Main street Of this town and no.
tice the crowds Of young men rolling
balls In the shacks as tho that were
the business of life, and really it is
about all the business they have. They
live upon somebody they produce
nothing themselves. On the whole as
a productive force they are far be-
hind the old people,"
From now on, 1T will be Roosevelts
administration without any strings
tied to It," observes the Fort Dodge
Chronicle (dem.).
Incredible Brutality.
1t would have been Incredible bru-
talitv if Charles F. Lemberger, of Syr-
acuse, N. Y, had not done the best he
could for his suffering son. my boy"
he said "cut a fearful cash over his
eye, so applied Bucklens Arnica Salve>
which quickly healed it and saved his
eye" Good for burns and ulcers, too
