man, recognizing no political power
nor authority, except that coming from
his constituents and the people. Wool
son was new to political ways, and
honest then as always. For weeks and
months after his defeat. he wondered
why the political managers of the great
corporation who had carried him to and
from the district courts OF the neigh
boring counties should have been his
enemies. Only those who were near
to the now lamented judge knew how
the iron entered his soul when he con-
tempated the defeat of his most
cherished hopes. 1t was known to those
who were near him that it was the
dream of his life to be member of the
great national legislative body. His
later ambitions were as nothing COM
pared with the earlier one. He felt
that if he had been elected memoir
able career might have been opened to
him. But his hopes were stricken
down by the same relentless hand that
is today striking down men of brilliant
parts, because they are not yet crush
ed and made submissive. The politi-
cal contest on in Iowa today is for the
liberty of conscience and manhood, to
save the rising young Woolsons' of the
future"

wnIppLE ON the SINGLE BOARD.

Senator Whipple showed himself to
be made of real statesman material
in his debate on the board of education
bill Thursday; that is, he knew some
thing about the subject on which he
was talking. When he spoke of an
engineering school being established
at Iowa City which ought to be at
Ames, and of school of Journalism at
Ames which should have been estab-
ished at Iowa City, he summed up the
whole difficulty with our state educa-
tional institutions.
There are disadvantages in a single
board plan for the management of all
state schools, but the necessity for
some centralized supervision over these
schools so as to prevent encroach-
ments of one upon another and conse-
Quent division of effort, becomes para
mount to all these disadvantages. 1t
is unfortunate that the state of Iowa
has divided its university with rival
institutions running a neck and neck
race at the two towns. but now that
this has been done, the state of Iowa
should see to 1t that the institution at
Ames confine itself to science and

INcuRABLE INEBRlATEs.

Complaint comes from Knoxville
that the institution for inebriates Is
being crowded with "incurables" to an
extent that is likely to destroy its use
fulness as "a reformatory and render 1t
an ASYLUM for incorrigible drunkards.
It would appear from this report that
there are many favourable" inebrlates
in Iowa and that the state institution
for the treatment of dipsomaniacs
faces at least partial failure.
So far it must be confessed that the
inebriate asylums have not been high
Nv successful. We have hoped for more
since the insane hospitals have been
relieved of the burden of the drumkards
whom they refused or at least failed to
give proper attention. Now when we
have arranged to hold the drunkard
to his sentence we are confronted with
an army of ''incurables.'
What is an 'incurable' drunkard!
How are we to know that drunkenness
Is absolutely incurabe until we have
tried a more heroic form of treatment
than has yet been inaugurated? Here
tofore there has been too much pity
and conformation for the man who con-
tinues in the crime of drunkenness He
has not been confronted with the depth
OF his offense. Perhaps some OF our
off oh
complaisant attitude toward the liquor
traffic. We are prone to consider
those "incurable" who refuse to help
themselves. When a class of crimin-
ais refuse to reform we put them
where they can do the least harm and
the most good. Punishment, upon some
natures is the strongest reformatory and
deterrent influence. In the old spelling

THE DEATH OF /. G. KINNE.

The death of Judge La Vega G. Kline,
member of the Iowa Board of Control,
who succumbed this morning to heart
failure at his residence in Des Moines,
is loss that all Iowa will deplore.
While not among the greatest, Kline
ranks among the most useful public
men Iowa has ever produced. He was
honest in act and conviction, mature in
Judgment, wise in council and trust
worthy "a right thinking, loyal citizen
of his state, with capacity and desire
to do it service.
Judge Kline was an exemplification
of how vastly greater than parties men
may be- That he was democrat was
incidental to himself and to the people
of the state If the younger voters of
the state were asked his party, thou
sands would be unable to answer. They
have trusted him without asking. He
was first a citizen of the republic, next
an Iowan, and last partisan.
Judge Kline was the only democrat
ever elected in Iowa to the supreme
bench His qualities pre- eminently
fitted him for membership on the state
board of control, and he has been a
member of that body since it's inaugur-
alton eight years ago; has served as it's
president, and always with the conf
dence Of the state, irrespective of party.
He was named the candidate for gov
ernor by the democratic convention Of
1881, the convention that opposed the
republican convention that proposed
submission of the prohibitory amend
ment to the constitution. In the campaign
he opposed Buren, r. Sherman and was
Defeated was made the democratic
candidate for United States senator
against James r. Wilson and again de-
feated. He has served as district
Judge, has been president of the Iowa
Bar Association, and for many years

We laugh at the old accusation that
women are born bargain hunters, for
there are worse things than taking
honest advantage of a good bargain.
But we recently saw in print the more
serious accusation that woman Is at
heart true gambler, fonder than any
! thing else of getting something for
nothing. The increase Of the craze
among women for speculation seems to
be one result of high society life in the
large cities. 1t is stated by those who
know that in most of the big cities
there are brokers' offices exclusively
for women, where they may buy and
sell without fear of their husbands
finding 1t out. Why those same hus-
bands, some of them at any rate, should
have any better right to gamble than
their wives is question that remains
unanswered, but Notwithstanding, that
very fear revealed by those very wives
| Is evidence sufficient to prove that
| they are doing wrongly.
| One Of the most striking Illustrations
of the difficulties into which gambling
will lead a woman is the story of the
character Clodagh. in Katherine Cecil
Thurston's book, 1.-THE Gambler" En-
tering upon life in high society, with an
innate dread of gambling, inspired by
the impressive example of her dead
fathers excuses, she yields to the
| temptation urged by herr friends and
the roulette wheel and loses all thought
of consequences in her mad eagerness
to speculate. Money difficulties seem
to us small wrongs, however, in COM
parison with the selfishness, even tho
due to her mental suffering, which
made her urge her young cousin Larry
to stake his last cent, and unconscious
| ly drove him to such despair that he
chose death, so we are left to infer.
rather than face his mothers anger.
Altho SO lovable In other ways this
| feature of the closing chapters of the
book cast gloom over the character
Of Clodagh, which even the great hap
piness which came to her at the last,
it would seem, could not tighten.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

MdJOT lOl ltoIlL-
ination as governor, says in his Marion
Register: IF there is Il stalwart in the
state who is opposed to Cummins and
supporting Perkins for governor, he Is
not opposing the former and support
ing the latter from principle, but purely
on personal grounds. Cummins re-
publicanism and Perkins republicanism
lie the same This is plain talk-but
keep history straight Cummins' de-
mocracy is the same as Perkins de-
mocracy. Again, keep history
straight
"The people know that the substi-
tute offered for the Crossley bill was
a Blythe measure intended to perpetu-
ate the caucus system. and that any
measure offered by the lobby's friends
now, drawn upon the lines Of the sub
stitute, would be introduced in further
ance of a plan to deceive" insists the
Waterloo Courier ut is too late for
tine standpatters to escape the conse-
quences of their acts. They are re-
sponsible for the defeat of real pri-
mary law for Iowa, and they will be
held accountable by the party"
The Ocheydan, Osceola county, Press
saws that 95 per cent of every hundred
business men and farmers with whom
the editor has talked are in favor Of
Cummins or at least the principles he
advocates. All concede that Perkins
does not represent the sentiment Of
the district. 1--WE have made it a
special point to talk with all on this
matter" continues the Press. "Yet
Perkins men are claiming the county
for him. 1t may be so at the state con-
vention. but there will be big bunch
of dirty politics necessary to accom-
pilsh the result. Cummins would no
doubt carry the county three to one at
a primary caucus"
"The candidate for governor who
gets the votes of the Iowa farmers, or
at least majority of them, will have
to make his views on certain questions
very plainly known, judging from the
reports that come from one or two of
the organized interests among the
farming population" observes the Ce-
dar Rapids Gazette.

The public schools of our city are
as good as can be found in any town
the size sof Baxter Springs. They
are graded, and are in the hands OF
competent instructors. The public
school building is fine two story
structure with eight big rooms and
halls and basement, but the rooms
are so crowded now that another
building.will have to be built before
the next term begins. For this pur-
pose Mr.. John NJ. Daugherty OF
Omaha, who-has laid out a new adj
dition in the south part of town,
has given the school district the ne
cessary ground for the building and

This years term of school closed
last Friday. The graduating exer-
cises Of the high school class were
held on Monday evening Of this week.
The public schools Of this city
have very fine school library, which
is being added to right along, and 1t
is believed 1t is now as good school
library as can be found anywhere In
