IHTERuRBAHs AND POPULATION.

An interurban railway officer a.
Clinton in securing some census sta
tistics to aid In determining the ques-
ton of extensions, discovered that in
townships where interurban lines are
operating there has been large increase
in the population, whereas the figures
for the state showed a decrease of 3d.
GOO people between 1900 and 1905. 1t
is shown that not all the benefit az
csues to the cities.
In the townships between Waterloo
and Waverly. thru which an inter-
urban line operates, the population, ex-
elusive of the towns themselves, in
1860 numbered 3,S45 and in 1905 the
population was 1906. The population
of the townships thru which the Iowa
I City and Cedar Rapids interurban OPP
crates. exclusive of the towns in 1900
amounted to 11,512 and in 1905 the
population was 1886 The townships
i between Dies Moines and Colfax, exclu
siye of the towns, was in 1900 $685. In
1906 the population amounted to 9,17S.
The population in the towns thru
which the interurhan lines run has in
creased in almost every instance from
% TO so per cent.
When the 1905 census was completed
and it was shown that the states pop
lation had waned 10000 in five years,
there WIS much speculation as to the
reason for it. There We're a good many
theories advanced. but whether or not
people disagree as to the cause, they
Will all agree that it ought not to be-.
What we want is to get back the 10000
we lost and then some. Experience has
shown that the interurban is destined
q to become a great factor in building
up the state.
We need more intensified farming in
Iowa, smaller farms and more people
living upon them. That means more
tiiiekly settled rural community. The
more people we have living off the
land, the more wealth we will produce
That means more factories and more |
work for the factories More factories
means more business for the merchant
and consequently more profit. Boost |
for the interErbans.

BosLEY,s DEFENDS BOHEMIA.
TChelsea Independent1


In speaking of the probable read
justment of the rural mail routes Of
the county the Traer .Star-Clipper
says: There are two routes out of
Chelsea, and the patrons, who are
largely Bohemians, take so little mail
that it will not pay to keep up daily
service to them These people take
very few daily papers and do not write
enough letters to make the route at
all profitable" Taylor always did
have it in for the Bohemians. He
has the idea that a Bohemian is a
sort Of a wild man of Borneo, who has
to be kept confined in stout cage,
and who has hair on his teeth. IL
Taylor will quit loving himself long
enough to come down here for little
while we will agree to take him out
and introduce him to a large number
of Bohemians who take darn sight
larger number of daily papers than he
would if he had to pay for them as
they do, and who are educated to the
i int where they can converse intelli-
gently upon subjects which we are
willing to bet goo Taylor has never
heard of yet We have never been
able to figure out what Taylor hopes
to accomplish by everlastingly sneer-
ing at the Bohemian people.

FORTY YEAR OATS.
IGlobe-Gazettel

George Hughes is making an ex-
pertinent as to whether oats imbed-
ded in mortar and rock for forty five
years and taken out apparently in
perfect condition will grow. Last
week he was tearing down the old
stone stable built on his place over
forty years ago and from over the
door posts and windows lintels took
out cords Of straw which had been
inserted to act as supports and keep
out the prairie winds, and which were
in as perfect condition apparently
as when they were put in. The straw
was firm and strong and capable of
holding great weight In, the straw
was found some of the oats which
had not dropped off and Mr. Hughes
has planted the grains to see if they
will terminate after so long time.

THE HOUNDS THAT TRAlLED Al ADAMS.

| I0E nUUNUS IhAl lhAllcU Al AUAmS
I Al Adams, the policy king. sent to
Sing Sing under a righteous sentence
is dead by suicide. and such friends as
such men have are loudly vociferating
| that he was bounded to death by the
newspapers.
| Adams died rich in the spoil he had
| stolen from negroes, and the poor and
miserable of the city slums who
| played" their coppers and quarters
into his thieving game in the vain hope
of winning a suit of clothes, the price
of debauch, or mayhap months
His agents secured twice a day the
streets where poverty and ignorance
grasped at the straws of hope. Adams
was a thief. Noah Claypole. out in his
''Kinchin lay" was bold bandit COM
pared to Adams, who stole pennies and
dimes until they multiplied into mil
lions He went to prison under the
push of stern prosecutor. Restitu-
ton was not thought of. He kept the
money and when he died had still
half million in the spoil of his petty
piracies
The newspapers kept an eye or
Adams. He was unrepentant. His
connections kept their hold He longed
for the good old times of policy" and
the graft of the game" They kept
the public informed of his movements.
True enough they treated him as
ticket of leave man. And in so doing
they treated Adams simply sls he de-
served and did their duty toward
the public of which Adams was the
enemy.
There is no need or place for maud
lin sentimentalism over the self MUIR
der of such men. All his life pointed
that way. II there was anything good
or honest or praiseworthy in his char
'acter none have discovered it except
those who profited by his expenditures
of the money he gained by his petty !
and constituencies confidence game.
What was left for Adams? Why
shouldn't he suicide? The world did
MT need him. He was parasite that
had run tits time. Why Shouldn't he
drop like parasite uncared for ana
unnoticed?
Let no man think he may defy de-
cency and honor and God Himself for
a price and be happy or even content.
Old age, lacking character and the
memory that makes old age bearable,
is bankrupt. The scoundrel who turns
from an open grave to a scoundrers
memory is, pauper with the strongest
incentive to suicide. Hounded to
death! Al Adams had been years dig
cling the pitfall that engulfed him. The
mans suicide was the only public act
of his life that attests a sense of de-
cency or of disgrace. The hounds on
his trail were Of memory.
