Tried to Be a'Jesse James

The boy had saved up a little money.
and soon was the owner of two bulldog
revolverS. He went to a secluded spot
and practiced for several days, till he
was a fair marksman. Then he came
back to the school house and fiourished
his two revolvers. He threatened to
shoot everything and everyone in sight.
The children ran helter- -skelter, and the
teacher jumped into closet, where the
boy held him a prisoner for several
hours. several times threatening to
shoot through the door. Tired of wait
ing, he fired several shots in the air and
left.
Finally complaint was made before
Squire Vivian of Nazareth, who
brought the case to the attention of

RAILWAY ADVERTISING.

The Missouri, Kansas & Texas is
getting considerable advertising out
of its decision to test it's right to
exchange mileage for advertising
The contract it has drawn up provides
that during the year 1907 it will take
a certain amount of advertising for a
certain price. The publisher on the
other hand agrees that he and his
family and employees so far as
practicable will prefer the NJ, K. & T
road in travelling during the year
1907. The mileage required by them
will be issued by the company at
tariff rates and the balance due
either party at the end of the year
will be paid in cash.
The company's attorn sys say thls
contract will stand the test of the
courts In this case it will be
generally adopted If the courts rule
against it congress will be solicited
by publishers generally to change the
law.

prevents them from defending the
public interest where the same comes
into conflict with that of the railway
corporation. On this point common
observation is that on questions affect
ing railroad interests the newspapers
line up without reference to the rela-
tons existing between their adver-
Using departments and the railways.
The publisher unlike the public
officer who uses a pass, does not get
something for nothing and therefore
is not placed under obligation His
mileage is neither a rebate nor n
bride. Therefore it can not be con-
sidered contrary TO public policy.
BY accepting mileage in exchange for
advertising he is compromised no
more than he would be If he accepted
cash instead. The arrangement is
such as would be called in the case
of the United States and Cuba trading
on terms OF mutual advantage. The
reciprocity treaty helps our trade
with Cuba, but each party gives the

ALlIson,s SUCCESSION.

The suggestion of Congressman La
cey that he could defeat Governor
Cummins in primary election contest
for the Allison senatorial succession
offers n sportsmanlike method of set
Ting a controversy which many o.
Mr.. Lacey's friends insist has caused
all the present factionalism in Iowa
politics. 1t is physical certainty that
a successor to Senator Allison VIII
have to be elected or appointed before
very long. The aged statesman is past
n years old and very sick Even II
life is spared to him for several years,
a. every man in the United States sim
cerely hopes, he will never be able to
endure the physical strain Of another
session at Washington. In the inter-
ests of his own health and welfare he
should never try it. The fate of Sen
ator Gear, who was propped up at the
last solely for factional purposes. and
probably shortened his life thereby,
should serve as warning.
1t is no discourtesy to Senator ALI
son for the people to begin to discuss
his succession. The people Of Ala
bama, who have primary elections FOR
the nomination of their senator's, have
reelected two aged statesmen, and
have already elected the two men
whom they wish their legislators to
name for the succession of each, thus
officially recognizing that the ravages
of time are inevitable The announce
ments to friends in washington by
Secretary Shaw and Congressman La
cey that they expect to be considered
for Allison's place, would indicate that
these two very close friends see no
discourtesy to the venerable gentleman
in discussing the matter at this time.
The primary election method is the
only fair and Just way of settling dis
pute Of this kind. Let the coming leg
islature give us statewide primary
law. The recent republican platform
declared unequivocally for such a law,
which would give an opportunity for the
voters to express their preference in
electing United States senator's. The
democratic party has claimed that it
favored popular election Of senators.
Let al statewide primary election bill
be non-partisan measure, and let's
end this factionalism if it all arises
from the senatorial ambitions of a few
men. The men in the Times Republic
can office are ready to vote today as
between Blythe and Lacey and Shaw
and Cummins. The primary is the
thing.

A GREAT STRUGGLE IN PROGRESS.

The fight to wrest control of the New

from the hands of the men who were
responsible for it's scandalous man.
agement, and put it into the hands OF
men who will protect the interests OF
the policy holder, will draw to close
on the 18th Of this month. So far only
40 per cent Of the policy holders have
voted, and the result depends on Sc
curing majority Of the remaining 60
per cent.
1t has been well known by all Mutual
Life policy holders, and by the public
generally, that the company's agency
force of nearly 10000 agents has been
pressed into the service of securing
proxies for the present regime. If
there is a policy holder who has not
been personally solicited by regular
Mutual Life agent he must be so OBJ
scure as to have been forgotten. Only
few days ago policy holders in Mar
Fl
shalltown were visited by a. smooth
agent from Des Moines soliciting votes
for the present administration. A
Grundy county farmer telephoned to
the T.-R. that he was visited two
weeks ago by two men in an auto
mobile, so 1t is likely that the gang,
who seek to perpetuate; their control
of the enormous assets of the COM
pany, are holding back many proxies
which they have secured, and are Sc
curing more as fast.as they can

Some very excellent newspapers in
Iowa are devoting much space at
tempting to tell why the circle should
be put back on the ballot. The remov-
al of the circle enables the voter to
vote just the way he pleases. The re-
turns of last election plainly demon
strated that the independent voter was
out with his merry little pencil, and
when he came to the name of the man
he did not want to vote for he just
simply scratched him. That's just

An Iowa architect makes the state
ment that within twenty years ma
jorty of the dwelling houses will be
constructed of concrete. No doubt his
guess will be considered quite ac-
curate. Already in the east there is a
marked tendency to abandon wood and
even brick and stone. The cost of con-
crete is much less than wood, less than
stone, and not much greater than the
price of cheap brick. The concrete
houses are not of the most beautiful
type, but at least some beauty Will be
developed in time The interior, how
ever. will not lack coziness, and the
interior is what appears to most peo-
pie to be the most important part OF
the home, next to the highest charac-
ter of it's occupants. The price OF lum-
her has become so high that the people
have been driven to look for subst1-
t,,te. Concrete will be a quite accept
able substitute Not only is it cheaper
than wood, but it ought to make saw saw
ing in other directions. A house built
of concrete is certainly warmer than
house built of wood, thus erecting
