A CHANGE IS COMING.

Vic Murdoch says that in fifty years
from now the American people Will be
amazed to think that such a system
of transportation as now exists was
ever permitted in a civilized country.
Perhaps. It has only been allowed to
exist this long because the people were
not awake to the evils that affiictedl
them. The world is moving along at
a pretty fast gait now. 1t hasn't been
500 years since we were burning peo-
pie in this country for witchcraft.-

Where blue bends low and softly greets
The rising green Of uplands dim.
Twill lead you past the Vale of Signs

And there you'll hear the lit OF song
And joyous laughter tinlxiing blend.
It crosses over Sorrows Sea,
And weaves along by wayside thorns
And you must carry grieving weight
The cross with patience long be borne.
But you, at last. with weary feet
And eyes whose tears no longer stream
Shall find a gate thro' which to go
In sweetest peace to rest and dream.

In defending his action in voting
against La Follette's proposition to
give the Interstate Commerce COM
mission power to determine the value
of the railways. Senator Long stated
that freight rates are not fixed on the
cost of service but on the value Of the
service. Exactly. And that is just
what is causing all the trouble. 1.-THE
value Of the service" is only another
way OF saying, ''all the traffic viii
bear"
After making that statement, Mr..
Long admits that the courts have de-
cided that the railroads are entitled
only to a just and fair remuneration
on the value of the property employed
in the service. but he says this value
Will be determined by the courts when
the rates fixed by the commission go
before them for review.
Now La FoiIette's idea was to give
the commission the power to ascertain
this value In fixing the rates. so that
the rates might be just and fair The
commission is a fair body and is made
up of experts. so that it ought to get
at the proper value Of the railroads as
easily as the courts. Then If it were
found necessary to take the rates into
court, the court would be the more
likely to ind that the rates are just.
But Senator Long is in favor Of
making the commission go it blind
and flx its rates without knowing the
value of the railroads. If they happen
to hit It and make the rates accord
ingly. we'll and good. If they miss It
because they are not able to ind out
the value of the roads, their work is
knocked out by the courts.
To the ordinary citizen it looks as
though La Follette's idea is correct.

"The Eye Witness" the latest and
greatest play from the pen of Lincoln

Odeon this evening.
In his new piece Mr.. Carter has in

them together in a story so full OF
heart interest, sensation and good COM
edy as to make with all a most enjoy
able entertainment. The great auto

which a huge automobile is made to
jump over partially open jack-knife
bridge spanning the Chicago river. is
marvel of stage mechanism. and is
only surpassed in magnitude by the
mammoth cyclone scene In the last act
in which houses are hurled into the
air, large trees uprooted and every
thing in sight apparently at the mercy
Of the wind.
The audience is held spell-bound as
they see everything swept away and
not until they see the curtain descend

Clinton, Aug. 22.-The Brownies beat
Clinton in holly contested game by
4 to 8 Tuesday. The southpaw, Bocke-
WITT was up for the visitors, and he
put 1t over the local man, Els. The
visiting finger held Clinton to five
scattered hits, while the Brownies got
seven off Els.
The defense Of both teams was rather
ragged at times, altho the Brownies
played more consistent fielding game
than did the home team. Els made
three errors, all of which were expen-
sive, in trying to get runners, who
were on bases. The Brownies opened
the game by scoring In the first inning.
Clinton took the lead at once by count
ing twice, and held it until near the
close Of the game. In the seventh the
Brownies scored again, and in the
eighth they hit in two more runs.
Clinton counted again in the sixth, but
they could not score again. The score

Hot Nio'nt Crowd.

Those who braved the swelterlng neat
of Tuesday night and weir to the

by the very entertaining performance
given by the Hi Henry minstrels.
Mr.. Henrys show has a. number OF
good features, first among which comes
the elaborate scenic and costume ef-

stage setting is a delightful bit of color
design and, pretty electrical effect. Mu-
sically the MINISTRIES is good, the SOLO,
The Rose is the Flower For Me- by
Harry Shambaugh being especially well
sung. The double quartet numbers
were also above the average. Among
the comedians Mr. Charley Gano in
both the first and after part, MAIDS
decided hit, as did the song and dance
team Mack and Baxter In the second
part
The automatons, little mechanical
figures acting on small stage, proved
an unusual and pleasing feature OF the

Mr.. Henry gave his cornet solos, and
SO delighted the audience that 1t re-
called him three times for er'cores. AL
together the MINISTRIES was a pleasing
performance.

Former Superintendent Of Schools OF
fered Good Position.

Mr.. F. q. Willard, who succeeded the
late G. P. Rogers as superintendent of
the schools Of this city, has been elect
ed superintendent of schools at Moline,
III 1t is not known definitely that
Mr.. Willard will accept, but it is be-
1ieved, from statements made to Super
intendent Coffeen and other friends
whom he visited few days ago, that
he will do so.
Since leaving this city Mr.. Willard
has been travelling for Houghton, Milf
fin & Co., book publishers. The duties
Of that position require him to be
away from home much Of the time, and
the Moline offer is attractive because 1T
would enable him to be with his fam
lily. The board has offered Mr.. Willard
an annual salary Of $4,000 and assur-
ance of an increase to $4,000 later on.
The offer came to him entirely unso-
licited and unexpected.

G. ". WATSON MARRIED.
Wooded to Young Lady Of Chicago
on Monday.

Cards received in the city today an
nounce the marriage Of Mr.. George v.
Watson, better known among his
friends as 'sHuck.'' The ceremony was
performed on Monday in Chicago, the
announcements say, and add that Mr..
and Mrs. Watson will be at home to
their friends after Sept l, at 5044 Cal
umet avenue. Mrs. Watson was form
erly Miss Marjorie Frances Logan.
1T was known to Marshalltown
friends that Mr.. Watson and Miss Lo-
gan were engaged. but it was not an
ticipated that the marriage would take
place so soon. Mr.. Watson, who has
been residing in Chicago several years,
is connected with a large contracting
firm. He has been making his home
there with his sister, Mrs. Scott Rog-
ers.
Some Of MIR. Watson's friends here,
because of his persistency as a joker,
are inclined to believe that this is
another Of his jokes.
