ploying hundred or so of hands and

The brewery, like every other fac
tory, Is looking for more jobbers, more
retailers to handle it's product. Unlike
other and more legitimate enterprises
it does not make the character of the
retailer basis for the extension of

natural to expect more saloons in the
saloon towns and more doggeries in
the villages as a result of the brewery
business system.
The Iowa public has little to gain
from the establishment of breweries.
A few individuals have much. So far
as the ordinary citizen is concerned his
bank account Is more likely to be de-
pleted than increased by the Iowa
breweries. 1t is up to him to figure out
to his own satisfaction whether his in
dividual interests are best served by
breweries; whether it is better to make
beer for the bibulous at home or let
them buy it abroad. If the retailing Of

The Fairfield Ledger indirectly OBJ
jects to editorial lectures on nepotism.
Back Of the Ledger's objection lies
the tone Of mild criticism of Secretary
Wilson's Judgment in. selecting his son
for the Alaskan mission which has
been heard in one or two republican
state newspapers. No fault was found
with the work Of young Wilson, which
Anlay have been and probably was sat
4sfactory. The point made was that
& Officials save themselves personal trou-
& lie and avoid criticism by keeping OUT
de their immediate families with ap-
pointments Secretary Wilson, how
ever, having somewhat the reputation
OF a standpatter, the Ledger flies to the
rescue and insinuates it is probable
that examination of the rosters of the
state house at Des Moines would cons
Wet the present state administration of
nepotisn. The Ledger laudably wants
ITO know. IF our sisters and our cous-
|, ms and our aunts Of state officials are
on the states pay roll, why not let the
people Of the state know it?" it de-
mands.
The question is a fair one and we
would all like to know. Time was
when Mr.. Dobson was working his lit
tla r1epotism graft that the axiety Of
the Ledger was not SO conspicuous. But
~ Ia a fair question and we shall all be
glad to have the Ledger attempt to
make It's insin,lation good. If Govern

don't believe it---Pat Murphy, state
printer, Is teaching the trade to his
relations down to the fourth genera
tion.
u Let the Ledger constitute housing
committee Of one with power to peek
and publish. Des Moines is on the,

Ito secure transportation. The roster Of

the Ledger go down to Des Moines and
convict the administration Of nepotism.
If cousins and aunts crowd the CORR
doris and overflow the offices of the
state house, let an anxious and excited
public know. And If it should prove
successful in its quest it will have done
the enemies of the administration a
great service. They have long been

ment. They are likewise expected to
wink at the violation of certain state
laws which they are expected to en-
force. County attorneys are also ex-
pected to exercise discretion" in the
matter Of filing informations and Sc
curing indictments. The people de-
mand that some laws be strictly en-
forced and that others be not enforc-
ed. And if the executive or prosecut-
ing officer refuses to exercise this
discretion he may find it difficult to
secure reelection simply because he
has insisted upon living up to the OBJ
legations he assumed when he took the
oath of office.
In no other civilized country does
any such sentiment prevail. In Eng
land, or Germany, or France, nobody
expects the executive to discriminate
and to decide for himself what laws
shall be enforced and what laws
shall not be enforced. Those who
break the laws know for certainty
that if they are discovered they will
be punished A portion of this fragrant
American evil is due primarily to hyp-
socrisy. We are ashamed to avow upon
the statute books what we actually
wish to see carried out In practice.
Hence we enact stringent liquor laws,
and laws against the social evil and
against gambling in order to hold up
the statute books as an evidence Of

ards are not what they would appear
to be from an examination of our
statute books. it would be infinitely
more manly and infinitely more hon
est to acknowledge it thru the in
strumentality Of modification and re-
peal than to everywhere set up
schools of lawlessness thru the nom

A WARMING TO Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. As rule it is only
necessary to give the child a dose Of
castor oil to correct any disorder of
the bowels. Do not use any substitute,
but give the old-fashioned castor oil
and see that it is fresh, as rancid oil
nauseates and has tendency to grippe.
If this does not check the bowels give

TO BREW OR NOT TO BREW.

Those who advocate the establish
ment of breweries in Iowa argue the
commercial advantage to be gained by
making in Iowa the beer consumed by
Iowans. The argument appears good
on the face-of it. If we are to continue
under the present saloon system and It
seems at present to be choice be-
tween the rnulct and high license
law, why not make our beer at home
with our own help?
But there is another side to the mat
ter quite as important as the brewery
as simple business proposition. The
Dubuque Times published in a city
ss 1t has detied prohibitory enactments
ind liquor statutes and has been a law
unto itself, says:
Des Moines will make no mistake in
be gained for the community by adding
one more to It's list of industries would
be lost thru the influence the liquor
interests would gain in politics. a
brewery at Des Moines would mean the
e
terests here and thruout the state and
such organization would enable the
liquor dealers to exercise political in
fuence out of proportion to their num-
bers.
The point Is well taken. It is not
argument coming from the Dubuque
Times but a plain statement of a bit
ter experience. The multiplication Of
breweries in Iowa simply means more
saloons and wider saloon influence. It
80 true enough that no person who can
get a permit to open saloon at pres
ent need fail to secure credit on fix
lures or stock from breweries outside
the state and that brewery money is
plenty In Iowa saloon cities when
0gtrt is on against the liquor traffic
and its extension. Still the influence
Of paid agents is not to be compared
with the influence of local stockholders
and investors In breweries. It lacks
the personal equation and rests main
" on purchase. Even now most Of the
saloons in the larger towns of the state
s are owned and conducted by brewers
syndicates. To them there is only one
municipal question worth considering
and that Is the safety and extension of
their own business. The influence OF "a

Balthis and f. O. Steckes. This party
is travelling through the state in wag-
ons and are visiting as many planta-
tons as they can and remain at each
grove until all the measurements and
other data are secured. He says that
so far as they have looked into the
matter, the best trees to plant In this
part of Iowa are the European larch,
white pine, Norway spruce, and the
hardy catalpa. This information may
be worth while.
