NO MIDNIGHT SALOON.

Representative Christensen is the
author of bill introduced in the Iowa
legislature Wednesday permitting a
change in the hours that saloons may
keep open under the mulct law. Mr..
Carstensens would extend the "busi-
ness" hours of the saloon to eleven at
night and balance this extension by
making six in the morning instead of
five o'clock the opening hour. The bill
was very properly referred to the COM
nittee on suppression Of intemperance,
where, If the committee lives up to its
name, it will be incontinently smother
ed as scheme to promote intemper-
ance.
1t might be we'll for the liquor deal
Drs' association, which is said to be
back of the Christensen bill, to under
stand that the liquor selling interests
have already more leeway under the
law than the general public is inclin-
led to grant them, and that their bust
ness in, this state rests on tolerance
and not on legal standing. Iowa en-
dures saloons as men do dyspepsia.
They don't like it, but it is hard to get
rid of. Having undergone one unsuc-
cessful operation to rid herself Of the
wIiskey dealers, the state breads an
other and endures the disease. The
booze seller, however, is not an Iowa
business man, his interests have not
for fifty years been considered legiti-
mate business interests, and the tend
ency is to shorten instead of extend
his selling hours.
What decent man needs an open sa-
loon at IL o'clock at night? What class
is it that is demanding midnight
liquors? How are decency and respect
ability to be favored by affording the
saloonkeeper another hour Of profit and
the dissolute another hour Of riot? If
we need legislation on the saloonists'
open time, it is for shorter hours. 1t
has been wisely suggested that the
closing of saloons at o'clock Satur- |
day evening would send great many I
pay checks home that at present drop
into the saloon cash register. If Mr..
Christensen will offer bill of this ma
ture he should receive cosideration.

"a GRAND OLD COMPROMISED

No state was politically more har-
monious than Wisconsin while Senator
Spooner, Payne, ct al, dominated the
majority party. Senator Spooner has
always been a "harmonizer' Of the
kind of harmony that soothes today
and smarts decade after. When
there has been war against special in
terests in the senate, Senator Spooner,
with the instinct Of harmonizer, has
waited until the last stand of the COR
porations has been made to come for
ward with the flag of compromise. Con-
sequently Senator Spooner is a man
much praised and much criticised.
There are those who believe in his in
tegrity as Well as those who classify
him with the agents of corporate in
terests. Just now in the rate regula-
ton fight many are watching Spooner
he will find it advisable and discreet
to vote + o r and suggest a COM
promise where compromise is victory
for special interests.
Spooners connection with the large
lumber interests is an old story. In
mis- career as connected with the rail-
roads as sketched by Marlen E. Pew
for a Chicago newspaper, there may be
something new. Mr.. Pew recalls that
Spooner opened his campaign as the
servant of the railroads in Wisconsin
as member of the assembly, and later
for years he acted as the accredited
lobbyist for railroads, principally the
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha road,
now part of the Northwestern sys-
tenn. Later he became general solicitor
of the Omaha, and was, as we'll, the
legislative agent Of the Northwestern.
He was offered $4,000 year to act
ern.
1t was at about this time that
Spooner went to the senate Thru
his efforts the United States made
over to Wisconsin land grants which
the state legislature, under the domina-
tion of the Spooner company, handed
to the railroad companies. Spooner
in those days was an able exponent OF
the idea that by the means of these
grants the philanthropic railroad COM
panies would develop the wonderful
resources of the state. The Omaha
road got 2,163,0s2 acres of land. The
estimated value of this property today
is $10,o00,0oO, and practically all of this
valuable gift has been sold for cash.
The estimated cost of the railroad to
the builders was ss.s60.OOO The COM
pany issued bonds for s11,0OO,O0O; pre-

BAPTISM AND EDUCATION.

III w fSoSl
The old surviving school notion is, a
college or university must have min
lister for it's head. Because at one time
all the learning was in the keeping OF
the monasteries and other holy houses
But learning has, long since, escaped
that pinfold, and the clergy have not
monopoly by long shot. 1t was
we'll enough to have Harper in this
university as it's ruling head for, as it
turned out, he had practical ability
and force, lots of it. And, perhaps, it
was no harm to make it denomina-
tional-Baptist - but how foolish it
was in Rockefeller to nail it in the
charter that the Prex. should always
be a Baptist. What has baptism to do
with education? 1t was very tup-
penny, and now in choosing a successor
the trustees are limited by a consider
alton of-water Lots of fit men as
successors who do not dive or swim.
What difference does it make whether
a great school administrator was
dipped, sprinkled or immersed? There
is absolutely no relation in that special
rite to higher education.

LARGE LOADS OF CORN.
IStory City Herald.1
How much corn on the ear can be
loaded into one wagon and can be
hauled by one team for distance of
five miles?
Farmers south Of Webster City
have beer debating this question and
two of them entered into a friendly
contest the other day to test the mat
ter and learn for a certainty the ca
pacity of one wagon when it comes to
holding Iowa's favorite crop. The dis
cussion was started when Selmar Adj
ans, who resides near Saratoga, haul
ed load of corn to Kamrar which
contained seventy-one bushels and fiji
teen pounds. Sim Murphy, a neishbor
of Adams, believed he could beat this
record. He loaded his wagon to it's
full capacity, and when he reached
Kamrar with it, the load weighed up
ninety-one bushels and fifteen pounds,
or Just twenty more than Adams load.
Then Adams borrowed all the side
boards he could scrape up in the neigh
borhood, filled his wagon with as much
as he thought one team could haul, and
took it to the Kamrar scales. 1t weigh

WORK FOR PENlTENTIARIEs.

| A binding Irvine plant for peniten-
persistently commends itself to the at
| tention of legislators. Hardly a ses-
| sion passes without bill being intro
duced with this intent and Represen-
tative Powers has just put his name
| to one before the present legislature
Just how any man can figure that the
farmers Of Iowa are any more entitled
| to cheap prison made Irvine than the
factory hands in Marshalltown are en-
of us can see, but most all of us are
agreed that it is wrong to subject free
labor to the competition of the prison
made shoe, even tho another class does
get cheaper shoes.
The fact is, free labor has a right to
demand that the penitentiary, support
ed by general taxation, be not permit
ted to force down it's standard of wages
by unfair competition. That this COM

from the fact that prison made goods
will not sell unless at a cut price. Yet
society has right to demand that it's
criminals do what they can to support
themselves Because they have been
confined for the protection of society
does not justify a system that will re-
move them from the ranks of produce
ers and load them like standing army
upon the backs of law abiding toilers.
They should work at something useful
but it should always be at state work.
State work, tits true, will compete
with FREE labor, but the difference is
that no man has any legitimate claim
upon public employment. Such en-
ployment is at public expense and the
general good is served by setting pen
itentiaries at public work for the reas-
on that the public is forced to support
it's criminals at public expense, and
any work it can recover in return
lightens the public burden by just that
much.
tinction in social science the question
follows, what can Jail birds do for the
public? Oft has it been suggested that
they work upon the public roads. The
objection to this is that it necessitates
the chain gang, armed guards, blood
hounds and other relics of barbarism
that do not tend to reform men thus
to public gaze and humilia-
ton. Our penitentiaries could be
equipped for manufacturing road maxi
ing materials, however. Suppose one
were to produce crushed stone and
another paving brick, to be delivered by
the state free Of cost to country road
districts. A brick pavement of one
course on concrete sixteen feet wide,
could be laid for $500 per mile brick
and stone furnished free. With TWEEN

bonds issued. about $3.50 per year would
pay the interest and principal upon the
cost of every half mile of such roadway |
and if a quarter section on each side
Of the road should share alike on the
expense, the cost per farm would then
De only $125 per year With the right
xind Of road law this could be split
again and paid partially from general
axation, and we might have brick
oavements on our country highways in

"rhe tax ferret law" says the Coun-
Gil Bluffs Nonpareil, lis a confession
to chaos and primitiveness in our rev.
enue system. That much is to be adj
mitted But it is only the confession
1t is not the evil itself And it is not
exactly clear how the repeal of the

are inclined to think that it would
make matters worse"
The Sioux City Journal insists on a
report on the progress in unearthlng
the man who sent the fake dispatch to
the New York Herald.
1t is the judgment of the Nevada
Representative that " if the anti-pass
law shall be passed as proposed there
may be a temporary spasm of virtue
on the part of the railroads, but that
in a short time they will return to
their old practice in the pass matter

the practice than they now feel

THE CONTEST is ON.
GO'Rrien County Bell


Uncle George is good man, an able
man, clean man, a good republican,
and would make good governor, and
under normal conditions the republic
cans of the district would be delighted
to do him honor, and cheerfully give
him a boost to the governorship, as a
last and crowning reward for past
years of loyal services. But, there is
more than personal friendship and
party admiration involved in this con-
test. 1t is said, and there seems to be
little doubt of the truth of the saying,
that Blythe is supporting Mr.. Perkins,
and if so, the district is full of good,
loyal republicans who will not, much
as they admire and love the man.
Blythe stands solidly against the very
thing the common people want, and
need-the primary election law, and the
other things that Governor Cummins
stands for. The rank and file of the
Big Eleventh will not stand for Blythe
and his corporation schemes-at least
we do not think they will.
The candidacy of Mr.. Perkins puts
the Cummins republicans of the dis
trict on the defensive, because, so far
as we know, there is no other candi-
date, and it is always hard to fight
home candidate, and the Blythe ma
chine is able and aggressive and will
carry the district if not vigorously OPP
posed. But, he can't do it if the rank
and file will get out and work, attend
the caucuses and conventions and do
their duty in this crucial hour and SUI

STANDING; ON SLIPPERY PLACES.
Washington, Iowa, Press.l
"The wicked stand ON slippery
PAGES" Mark, they stand. The i'm
plication is, the good don't stand, but
slip and crawl. A good rule in slip
perry weather, is to set the foot flat
c.own all at once. Most folks strike the
heei first and .ome down on the sole
like a bear Those two animals are
called from the fact of walking on the
sole, "plantigrades." You are not as
graceful setting the foot flat, but more
surface is exposed to the ice, and some
part of it is apt to bite and take hold
of the glairy walk. So if you would
be safe and sane plant the foot
down slam as the bear and camel and
elephant do. You can't Imagine one
of these quadrupeds slipping up on the
ice. Not in hundred years does q
white polar bear fall on the ice in the
arctics. Horses walk on their toes,
eoagulated into hooves.
