",The state educational institutions
are undoubtedly doing a great work.
observes the Cedar Rapids Gazette.
Not the least of the institutions is the
college at Ames whose graduates are
in demand in many other states. Thoro
instruction in practical farming and
auxiliary branches is feature of the
Ames school, and it will have far

cultural interests"
Remember there will be no circle on
the ballot this year" cautions the
Montezunla Republican. There is
only one way to vote the straight re-
publican ticket and that is to put a
cross in the square in front of every
republican's name. A cross in the top
square votes only for one candidate.

THE PEOPLES LOBBY.

a5 A movement has been started to es-
tablish a peoples lobby at Washing
ton. the purpose Of which is to exam
inc all bills and resolutions coming be-
! fore congress, advise with the con-
sressmen and senators thereon and
make public report thru the press as
to the progress and character of pend>
Ing legislation at the national capital.
The movement is but another sign OF
the tendency to popular unrest and
tistrust of lawmakers and public SER
wants which parvade the masses. To
the thoughtful citizen, however, the
plan will not appeal strongly. Who
is to create the lobby. and if estab-
& l:shed Val assurance have we that
peoples lobby would be more trust
worthy and less veaal than congress?
Can the people provide better lobbyists
than they can congressman?
1t would seem better way would
be to elect clean and honest congress-
lnaii. Make every public servant I'M
derstand that faithlessness to his
trust, failure to measure up to a high
standard of morality means certain
defeat at the polls; that debauchery and
yenality means discredit with the vot-
ers at home; that subserviency to
corporations and trusts is evidence OF
dishonesty in public service and there
will be no need of peoples lobby at
Washington.
IL the proposed movement is to re-
solve itself into bureau of publicity
it can hardly accomplish more than is
already being accomplished by the
press. peoples lobby would get
nothing from corporation owned news
papers. The great majority of the
newspapers are doing all in their power
now to awaken the public conscience
and arouse the people to the necessity
for the election of clean, honest public
servants The reform must begin with
the voters The man who needs watch-
ing either because of ignorance or dis
honesty ought not to be in congress.
1t is better to employ trusted public
servants than to place watchdogs over
dishonest ones. venal servants some
times poison watchdosss or bride them
into silence.
Congress is what the people makes
it. The real peoples lobby is an hon
est congress and senate unowned by
the special interests and corporations.
why not make the people their own
lobby?

CHARLES EisEM5ARTH BOWED
TOO CLOSE TO TOW or
JAMES WOOD.

NEW MARTINsvILLE, Nov 22.--
Shortly after eleven o'clock yesterday
morning a small boat containing l. H.
Wilson and Charles Etsenbarth, was
run down by the steamer James Wood.
and Eisenbarth was drowned. Wilson
was saved after q desperate struggle
in the water
Wilson is a surveyor and EisenbaTth
worked for him as q lineman. They
had work at Hannibal. o., and start
ed to cross the river in a sldft owned
by Albert Bowban. Elsenbarth, who
had no experience as an oarsman. was
rowing, and got too close to the ap-
preaching boat When they saw they
were liable to be run down, Elsen-
barth pulled the skin against one Of
the barges and tried to catch hold. In
stantly the boat was drawn under the
barge, Eisenbarth going to his death
with It, Wilson saw the danger Of
being drawn under and jumped from
the skitf far out into the water The
accident was witnessed by several
members Of the crew Of the boat who
FASTENED to the barges, while others
lowered the boats skiffs. Wilson
could not swim, but was making a
desperate struggle in the water and
managed to keep his head above wa
ter until help reached him. He was
pulled into tile small boat and
brought to the shore in a seml'con'
scious condition.
Nothing more was seen of young
Eisenharth after he went under the
barges. 1t is supposed he came up
against the bottoms and went down
again to DEATH He was about 81
years of age AMI a son of the late
John Eisenbarh of this place. A large
searching party Immediately started
dragging the river for the body, but
had not recovered it.
An unusually sad feature Of the az
fair is that Eisenbarth's engagement
to a New Martlnsville young lady had
been put recently announced.
