THE GOOD ROADS BILL.
ICharter Oal, Times |

Representative NJ. u. Bailey of Ring
gold county has prepared a bill for the
amendment of the state road law so
that the farmer who works the roads
i'm front of his farm may receive com
pensation therefor. This is change
which is made possible by the King
road drag, and it is heartily endorsed
by the Iowa Good Roads Association
which will meet>in Des Moines Febru-
airy and s. The bill should become
a law, for as 1t is, the King road drag
which is the best device ever made for
good roads, becomes imperative. NO
road overseer can get the drag over his
thirty-six miles of roads in the proper
time to do the business; but if each
farmer were to do the work along his
land, a few hours after each RAIN
would get every thing shipshape. What
an Improvement it would be to have
the roads all nicely smoothed down aft
ter each rain instead of leaving them
to be worn smooth by travel.

CoNcEALING THE NEWS.

1t is certainly significant in Iowa
that there is determined opposition
to granting trade privileges to the
Philippines. The standpat newspapers
OIL the state have been leading their
readers to believe that everybody is
with the president in favor of reci-
procity with our own territory. But
everybody is not. And it is essential
that those who are estimating the
forces at work in politics should recog-
nize that they are not. 1t is certainly
significant in Iowa that Senator Dol1i-
Yer cannot get a favorable report on
his bill for rate regulation or any re-
port of any sort The standpat news
papers Of the state have gone so far
as they could to conceal this fact and
to make it appear that everybody Is
with the president in favor of reason
able corporation regulation. But
everybody is not And it is essential
that those who are estimating the
forces at work in politics should rec
ognize that they are not.
Primary election reform is at the
root of every reform progressive re-
publicanfsm stands for. This has not
just been discovered ine1oWa. 1t has.

Possibly Iowa has no boss like Cox or

Our bosses may be few and their fields
of action may be small, but the begin
nings of all devastating plaques are
small. Wise physicians are turning at
tention to preventive measures. 1t is
wise political economy to adopt a SINH
lar policy. The primary election plan
has to great extent done away with
pernicious bosSism wherever it has had
fair trial. 1owa's plague of bossism
is spasmodic, not yet epidemic and can
easily be stamped out. III one should
say that we have none of it we would
reply that we are in that case in the
best possible condition to make the
plague impossible by inaugurating a
system which puts nominations in the
hands of the people through the secret
ballot Granting that no better men
would be nominated than have been in
the past, there would be this consider
alton to be borne in mind: The door
would be shut against the future en-
trance of the boss. and that fact we
believe accounts for much of the oppo-
stion TO the proposed law.

NEWSPAPERS AND PASSES
TCherokee Times
Under q strict anti-paSs law it is
safe assumption that the newspaper
would have less transportation coming
to them than they have been accus-
toned to receive.-Sioux City Journal.
This is an assumption which might
be hard to prove. The Times keeps
an account with railroads, charging
them with advertising at regular rates
and creditng them with mileage used
and pays value received for every mile
travelled and what is true of the Times
is probably true of most country Off
ces. Advertising of late years by rail-
roads has been reduced to business
proposition. The railroads want pub
LEFTY as to advantages offered for trav-
ell or other transportation services.
With competitive lines thru the same
territory, the line which does not seek
publicity is as surely left in the race
as the merchant who does not adver-
tise in a field where his competitors do

ONE KIND OF HARMONY.

OF course there would be harmony
in the republican party of Iowa il
everybody would submit to the dicta-

clans as Cousins, Lacey, Hunter,
Young and the rest of the boys who
take their cues from Mr.. Blythe. There
was no trouble so long as we all ac-
quiesced in the slate fixed UP by these
gentlemen, but when there Were pro-
tests and their right to run things was
questioned harmony took a back seat

stay there until every public official,
from senator toI constable, wields his

they were Indian bones, and had been

THAW SORRY
That His Act Caused His
Mother to Return from
London in His Behalf.

New York, July 6.-When Harry
Kendall Thaw learned this afternoon
that his mother had abandoned her
London visit to her daughter, the
Countess of Yarmouth, in order to re
turn and be near him in his hour of
adversely, he became more depressed
than his counsel, former Judge w. M,
g. Olcott, had ever seen him.
Il wish | could have thought OF
that" exclaimed the prisoner in the
Tombs. Il would have tried to pre-
vent her coming back here to face all
this. l can scarcely bear to think
of her seeing me now. If possible
would make her remain away"
Then Thaw became moody and
would say but little to Mr.. Olcott.
Speculation as to the cause of the
quick explanation of his wife's visit
to him today was dispelled by his
counsel's explanation. Thaw had re-
eeived a letter which impressed the
young couple as being extremely i'm
poTtant.
WAS it important then?" the law
yer was asked
"Yes important, but not so much
as they supposed" he replied. He
would not indicate what it's contents
were
DIR. Allan McClane Hamilton called
on Thaw in the Tombs today to ex-
anime the young man as to his men
tai condition. DR.. Hamilton was re-
tanned by the defense several days
ago and will appear as one of the ex-
pert medical witnesses when Thaw is
placed on trial. None of the lawyers
ests would give the names of the ex-
perts retained by them.

WIRE TAPPERS
Get Busy and Hit Pool
rooms for Sums Esti-
mated at Nearly Half a
Million.

New York, July 6.--The slickest
swindle that had been put through
since Pete Delacy and half dozen OF
the biggest pool room operators were
swung for half million dollars
through the keeping back of the re-
turns of the race tracks, went through
here and as result, the big pool room
proprietors were beaten out of sum
estimated at from 100000 to half a
million. The game was the old fam
iliar wire tapping one, only that this
time wires were really tapped.
In the second race at Windsor there
was three to ten shot, Attention,
who seemed to so far outclass his field
that even at these short odds the big
New York plungers put down large
sums of money. When the result was
announced over the wires Beau Brum-
NELL, against whose chances to
had been laid, had been declared the
winner and Attention in the place po-
sition. When the pool room keepers
looked over their sheets they discov-
cred that the winner had been well
played and that they had to pay out
large sums to comparatively unknown
players. There was no suspicion that
all was not right however, and the
tickets were promptly cashed and the
betting begun on the next race.
DISCOVERED IN TIME.
When the. result of the third race
was given Attilla, a four to one shot
was sent in as the winner but before
the result had been confirmed" and
paying off began a man who had had
good bet on Attention went into a
pool room and announced that the
wires gave Attention as the winner
of the second race and showed Beau
Brummell as having finished second
The word was sent along to ali OF the
rooms and all bets we're held up. In
vestigation revealed the fact that At.
tilla had not won the third race but
that she had finished second to Crows
hade. The rooms then paid the bets
on Attention and started an investi-
cation which resulted in the fact that
the wires had been tapped somewhere
outside of the city.
What amount was lost is hard to say
as owing to the nature os The pool
room business the proorietors are de-
sirous of keeping out of the limelight
and declined to talk. Those back of tn,
scheme, however, cashed in for gooC
amounts in all the larger pool rooms
and also in Troy and Albany, it is
asserted so that the wire tappers'
must have had good day of it al
though the discovery of the game be-
fore the Attilla bets had been cashed
cost them some of their winnings and
saved the pool room people from
heavy additional losses.
