FOLKS FIGHT ON THE LOBBY.

Governor Folk is still hot on the
trail of the lobbyist and has prepared
a bill which he will have offered to
and urged upon the next Missouri leg
islature From the personnel of the
assembly elect it is considered not at
all unlikely that Folks bill or one quito
as vigorous will be enacted into law
In Folks bill an emergency clause
makes the law effective upon the sig,
nature of the governor and should the
bill pass, little time would elapse be-
tween the legislative vote, the affixins
of the guberna torial sign. manual ana
active operation of the law. Folk has
lost none of his determined aggressive
ness against lobbyists.
The bill, 1t Is understood, will not
prevent persons from appearing before
the members of the legislature in an
effort to influence votes for or against
any particular measure, but If anyone
desires to protest against or encourage
the passage of a law he will be COM
PEELED to do so in the form of COM
munication in writing. Copies of the
same must be filed with the secretary
of the state. Paid lobbyists will be
prohibited on the floor of the legislature
unless invited to appear by resolution.
A fine will be provided of 500 to $500
and imprisonment of not less than ten
days nor more than twelve months, for
violation of any section of this act.
Thru the publication clause and the
Imprisonment penalty Governor Folk
hopes to keep many away from the
capital during the busy sessions of the
law making body. To rid the state Of
this class Of parasites has been a par
ticular hobby of Governor Folk ever
since he was elected to his present Of
flee, and other governors will watch
with interest the effect of his fight and
of his success, If he is successful.

A SAD LESSON.
IFort Dodge Messenger.l

l.
The fearful accident that happened
near Kalo at the station of ClayWorks
last week by which an eleven year old
child was killed by his baby brother
is sufficiently impressive to make
need for little comment. Everyone
knows the lesson that mas again been
taught with relentless rigor. There
is no such thing as safety when load
ed fire arms can be reached by little
children AS the story has been told
by the seven year old boy himself, he
played with the hammer of the gun,
pushing it up when it slipped from
his little finger and was sprung
down upon a loaded shell which
exploded and death followed the hap
hazard aim Of the gun barrel.
Ut was not intended that loaded
gun should be left in the house, but
Inadvertently the fatal mistake was
made and the consequences of that
error can never be remedied.
Death dealing weapons. or drugs
are too dangerous to be kept about
house except under the greatest care.
For the sake of the living that re-
minder is needed. Tha. which is past
cannot be changed.

Charges that prominent Iowa demo-

Among those named as traitors are
Messrs. Cato Sells, ]. B. Sullivan-both

D. Denison, Mr.. Porter's running mate;
Major E. M. CARR candidate on the
ticket for judge of the supreme court;
George F. Rinehart, editor of the New

graph Herald. 1t is significant as in
dicating whence the charges emanated
that every one of those named as
traitors opposed the plan of Messrs.
Miller and Marsh to. make the latter
national committeeman. The surpris-
ing feature is that Mr.. Porter is not
accused of being a traitor himself,
since he has added his endorsement to

MUST THE LAND AGENT COZ

In compliance with the rate. law a
western railroad has, it is stated, re-
called 10000 passes issued to land
agents. 1t has done this much against
the desire of the company. and, as goes
without saying, very much against the
will of the agents who held them.
If the rate law marks the passing
of the ''land agent" it means the dis
appearance of type. However, it
may be said in passing, that it does
not, and that the agent will flourish
while the land hunger endures. There
may and probably will be fewer land
agents, which in itself is not an I'M
mixed evil, but there viii be purchasers
for all the good land out of doors. The
development of the west will not stop
with the abolition >of the free pass.
Times have changed. An army of land
agents is no longer necessity.
But in the older days the agent bore
the oriflanlne of emigration. It was
he who came florid with tales of the
new country. who came prepared to
prove that the aGreat American Des-
ert'' was in fact the Great American
Garden where opportunity grew on
trees and bloomed, in the bunch grass.
Counties with outlandish names rolled
trippingly from his tongue and added
to the mystery and glamour Of the ter
ritory he described "Niobrara" and
its kindred names rang with differ
ent sound from "Thompson's Creek"
and the commons terms of locality
Streams, boundaries and divisions, he
knew them all. Possibilities bur-
gecned into certainties under the in
cantation Of his marvellous tongue. He
could plant and ripen bananas inside
the Arctic circle, grow rice on an Ari-
zonh mountain side and corn in, the
Everglades-and he had the bananas,
rice and corn In his gripsack. Never
a pied piper played a sweeter note or
held a more hopeful following.
So the long line of trailing wagons,
canvas topped, with the wife on the
drivers seat, the children peeping out
between the strips stretched over the
hickory bows of the cover, and the
father ahead with the little herd that
hope saw covering the wide ranges
of the home to be, followed the earth
old line of the emigrant's impulse west
and northwest to shanty a hay sta
BILE and opportunity. The breaking
plows turned their long writing rib
bons of virgin sod, and the sod corn
sprang where the joint grass had grown
rank the year before and the wild
flowers had painted the prairie. Towns
grew in the path of the land agent.
Communities formed. schoolhouses and
churches rose up as by enchantment,
and civilization filed the silent
places. Year after year the successive
waves pushed on as he led his hordes
farther afield, until the land that men

We visited the home of progressive
Poweshiek farmer last week and walk
ed over his large farm. In his fields
we saw acres of corn which will grow
eighty bushels. Just over the fence
we saw another field which will yield
more cookie burrs to the acre than
that. The one man preferred to rise
a hard crop which would bring good
price, the other an easy crop which
would bring nothing but grief The
world Is full of this contrast and it is

BITING OFF TOO MUCH.
[Clarion Monitor. j

120-acre farm located in Wall
Lake township was sold Saturday at
sheriff's sale to satisfy mortgage.
The name of the owner Is immaterial.
This is an unusual case, as the farm
man has lost in as many years. Prior
to the land boom, which struck this
locality a few years ago, this man was
considered Il well-to-do farmer. He
owned n good 320-acre farm and had it
nearly paid for. When the price of
land began to go up, and up, he lost
his head, SO to speak, and disposed of
his farm at a good round figure. Land
agents were anxious to sell him more
land. and before he fully realized the
extent of his transactions he was the
owner of three farms instead Of one.
Only small payments were made in
each case. The wet years and the
shortage of crops followed, and as a
natural outcome there could be but
one result and that was the loss of his
entire holdings. The man Is an hon
est and hard working farmer and all
regret the financial tangle In which
he has become involved Considering
the number OF such deals made and
the crop conditions, it Is a wonder that
more failures did not occur. There
were several hairbreadth escapes.
When about to speculate IL people
would remember that homely saying.
Don't bite off more than you can
chew" there would be much less
cause for financial worry in this world.
