RalIade Of the Rittersweet,

My son, pray you, mark her we'll.
For she is false as she is fair
And bittersweet The Circenn spell
Is woven In her odorous hair;
Her mad ming beauty is Il snare
BY Satan set for foolish feet.
1t is not given tongues to tell
The victims Of the Bittersweet.
Her Turing laughter sounds the knell
OF those high heart resolves we swear:
Her fiattering honey lips dispel
Our dreams like vapors ia the air.
No hope we have that she will spare;
Ambition faints before her feet.
The jewels of our souls we sell
To pleasure her, the Bittersweet.
Her siren tongue that sounds SO well
Cher heart is false. her words are fair).
My son. is like warning bell
Whose notes forever cry 'Beware!"
Subtle of heart, she watches there
Upon corner of the street
With many a tempting lie to tell
The simple ones the Bittersweet.
L'ENvoI.
My son, pray you, mark her well.
In no mans house abide her feet,
And all her ways SO down to hell
BY primrose paths. the Bittersweet.

AN ENGLIsHMAN's SUGGESTION.

Not long ago a British born resident
of Iowa expressed his disgust with our
election methods and preliminary cam
paigns Some political shyster had Of
fered him an inducement to do little
work for a candidate and stirred the
bile of the Englishlnan. His statement
was that no man who used the meth
DDS common in our campaign could
hold office under the English law.
The Englishman knew whereof he
spoke. 1t is against the English law
to use public houses, or saloons where
liquor is lod, for political meetings or
campaign headquarters. Moreover, If
it is proved that candidate for parlia-
ment or his agent has treated voter
to drink of liquor, his election, If ne
receives a plurality of the votes, is in
validated, he becomes liable to fine or
imprIsonment, and is made ineligible
as a candidate for a term Of years.
This law is rigidly enforced, and mem
bers of parliament have frequently
been unseated under its provisions.
Bribery and impersonation of "a voter
also invalidate the election of man in
whose interest they are done, altho the
candidate has a thousand majority,
and altho only one man is bribed. 1t Is
contrary to the law in England for q
candidate or his agents to hire bands,
or buy flags or cockades for election
purposes, or to pay for carriages to
carry voters to or from the polls, or to
spend more than definitely fixed
sum for election expenses.
We have passed thru campaign in
Iowa both between and inside parties
that has caused men to think. Some
what of the Pennsylvania and New
York system of vote getting has been
prevalent in this state. Enough, at any
rate. to set the rank and file and the
better class of politicians longing for
more complete protection of the nomin-
ating convention and the ballot box.
In England corruption fund is
dangerous thing, not alone for the pub
lie but for the candidate in whose be-
half 1t is used. The English law gets
down to the point that makes it essen
TALLY effective. 1t vacates an office
gained by fraud, or Doodle or booze. If

The sandbaasina Of MIR. Fish.

Hartman ousted Stuyvesant Fish from

Mr.. Hartman has forced Stuyves-

has wreaked. the revenge for which he

the nineteen years during which he has
been at the head OF the Illinois Cen
trail the operated mileage Of that road
and its allied lines has increased from
20S9 miles to 5,578. The gross re-
ceipts have increased by 1854 per cent,
as against an increase Of 245 per cent
in twelve leading railway systems. The
dividends on the common stock nave
shown an increase of 227 per cent,
as against gain of ITO per cent on
the roads taken for comparison. The
number OF employees has risen from 81
SIG In 1885 to 2s,371 th3s year. and the
average wages from $3.50 to s737. No
other American railroad has so long a
record Of continuous dividend pay

Under Mr.. Fish's direction the H.

The announcement by a Des Moines

! OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

An old question, only In a new form
| Is what effect the modern moving pic
ture" Is having on the public, especi-
tally the younger portion of 1t. Every
night somewhere we are shown a
Jesse James train robbery. Murder is
committed. mail robbery takes place,
! stage coaches are held up, prize fights
are pulled off. all these things and more
are shown to us in exact reproduction.
chine and the dancing of the lights
could be avoided, one could sit In a
! Garkened theater and to all intents and
! purposes be present as q spectator of
the real thing. So. naturally the ques-
! ton arises, is not familiarity with
crime and vice bad on both young and
old? AS said before it's All old ques-
ton. The yellow" journal shows all
this in black ard white. type and pic
ture. only it's stationary. The moving
picture gives life to scene the pen
can only describe in words.
, And before we get far into the mer-
its or demerits of this problem, we run
alter, and especially the Sunday the
alter. We are forced to morllze on the
amusement question, where good eff
feet ends and bad results follow. To
take the position that ignorance is
bliss does not prove the folly Of wis
dom. To properly discuss this matter
one should start out with admitting
that evil exists. There Is knowl-
that evil exists. Then Is a knowl-
edge of it In detail, good or a bad
thing? The advocates of the Sunday
theatrical performance claim that In all
plays presented vice Is punished and
virtue rewarded. Along this line, to be
logical, the moving picture lecturer,
after showing US Jesse James in a
railroad train robbery, should always
finish the evenings entertainment with
a slide showing us a legal hanging. In
New York the moving picture should
be scene in Sing Sing when Harry
Thaw Is electrocuted.
Meanwhile we can not escape
knowledge, that these pictures Of vice
and crime whether by pen in the yell
low journal and the accompanying
cut" or the life size and life like
moving picture, are given the public,
because tn said public wants such
things. It's supplying a. demand
Hearst has filled a long felt want with
his yellow journals. The daily life, the
monotony of existence not only in
1.-The submerged TENTH" but in the le'
ell planed fraction, is changed by this
kind of amusement. It's the Spanish
bull fight, almost as real It's the tor
turing Of prisoners by the noble red
men, with the squaws as enjoying
spectators. It's the poor devil being as
rich as a Rockefeller, while the pint
of whisky in him is in full effect. Some
of our best thinkers find a remedy at
least partial in substitutes. We must
give the populace good books, moral
plays and stereoptfcan news of the
holy land. Offer them hot coffee in
place Of whisky. This Is "a beautiful
theory. Unfortunately it overlooks the
law of demand. AS well offer cur
some home made bread, when he
scents carbon.
