DR.. Mary Walker says IL women
would adopt her style of dress they
wouldn't break their husbands. If

The Chicago Live Stock World,
with commendable enterprise, is Civ
ing $500 in cash to students and farm
ers' sons for the best reports of the
international Live Stock Exposition.
These reports will go to and be at the
disposal of the exposition judges. En-
tries can be made any time up to
December 5 by applying to the expo
sition management.
A Floyd county supervisor says that
the average election expense In the
seven precincts where the voting ma
chimes were used was $23.15. and In
the nine where they We're not used the
expense was s32oS. The initial ex-
pense is the principal objection to the
voting machine. If they might be
bought at less than the arbitrary price
set by the monopoly that controls them
they would soon some into general
use.
In strong editorial on "The Man
With a Sour the Des Moines Capital
says: Lowell understood this when
he penned his well known lines" and
follows with quotation from "The
Chambered Nautilus:
Build thee more stately mansions.
Oh! my soul,
While the swift seasons roll.
Leave thy low vaulted past,
Let each temple, nobler than the last,
Shut thee from Heaven with a dome
more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's
unresting sea-
1t might be in order to suggest that
Lowell penned these lines about as
Shakespeare wrote Paradise Lost"
The printers at Iowa City who have
started daily in opposition to those
already established, are likely to know
the difference between watching the
ghost walk Of Saturday night and
raising the specter. There is a heap
of difference between sitting in the Sc
ance and the actual work of material
zation.
1t would be only justice if the man
who leaves every door open on earth
should find st. Peters gate closed and
barred against him.
They have no grade crossing in
Austria. A railroad with 72S bridges
has just been opened by the Archduke
Franz Ferdinand. 1t connects Trieste
with Assling, passing thru the Tyrol.
Besides the 72S bridges, there are AZ
tunnels on the wonderful railroad.
The bridge over the IsonZo river is one
of the fifty largest bridges in the
world, and has span of 270 feet. The
reason for the multiplicity of bridges
is the mountain country thru which
the railroad runs, but the level cross
ing for a railroad is not tolerated in
Austria.

Many have been the reasons that |
have been given by writer's, clerical and
lay why clergymen should keep out of |
politics. Father Riordan, the erudite
pastor of Pikesville, Md, gives some
cogent reasons why a clergyman should
get into politics. He says, Some cit |
liens imagine that a priest ought not |
preach politics. They do not see that |
at the present time there is no more
or fruitful theme for the
speech of Gods minister than conduct |
and character in public life. No other
branch of ethics touches moral con- |
duct at so many points as politics. It |
deals with justice and right, marriage, |
divorce, the social evil, schools, asy-
lums, war, the race question, and prac-
tiealyly every department of private
and public morality. Nothing con- |
duces more to cynicism than the eff |
forts of good men to keep the decalog
out OF politics, since consistency |
would require it's suppression in every |
other conflict with self-interesr."
