The Des Moines News advocates
election of married women as teachers
in our public schools. "As matter
of fact" urges the News, ut is more
/ probable that she will give closer at
tention to her charges and take more
/ interest in their progress, IL for no 9th :
er reason than that she expects some
day to have little ones of her own who
must travel the same rough road to
| learning. The unmarried woman is
much more apt to be distracted by So
cial affairs than the woman who is
4 toiling hand in hand with her spouse
| to lay up nest egg for the children
which may later come to bless their
union"
| The king of AMMAN has just had
| seven Of his wives executed. IF he
| wants to reduce the surplus to any fur
Their extent" asks the Des Moines Cap
ital, why does he not move within the
! jurisdiction of the Iowa divorce courts
1t would save considerable wear and
| tear Of his guillotine, and besides the
means Of getting rid Of the encum-
brance would be just as expeditions"
The Vinton Eagle in speaking of
|. the talk that the "progressives" are
going to scratch the ''standpat" can
didates for the legislature and that the
"standpatters" are going to apply the
same treatment to the "progressives,"
declares I'VE do not believe word of
it. Both standpatters and progress
sives are interested in the return Of
Senator Dolliver to the senate and Of
course they understand that without a
republican legislature he could not be
returned. 1t should be well under
stood that Senator Dolliver is not in
volved in this factional fight Every
republican in the state is interested in
seeing that the legislature is republi-
ate is made sure"
The Ottumwa Courier believes "as
far as possible in combining business
to individual initiative control and
management; but government guaran-
tee Of savings deposits Is matter Of
such great benefit to the public that
it is bound to come sooner or later
Il The Burlington Hawkeye notes that
with rare exceptions, the county fairs
in Iowa have been money makers this
year. And there have been more fairs
than ever before. And it has been not
ell that those fairs proved the most
successful which had real displays of
all that the soil and the people in the
towns produce, while the public is
turning away from those alleged fairs
which make a speciality of bum shows,
all sorts of skin games and poor horse
racing"
Young Mr.. Porter's feverish skate
thru the state in his campaigning
tour is explained" says the Nonpareil.
HE is trying to get away from the
democratic platform which contains
some pronounced views in opposition
to the protective tariff.
The Pennsylvania railroad has an
nounced a fat two-cent passenger rate
Ottumwa Courier "this means q similar
move by competing roads and practi-
cally sounds the knell of the Central
Passenger Association. How's that for
REFORM"
The Des Moines News sizes up the
Cuban situation by saying: .T.he Gu
bans are willing enough to see a pro-
visional government established if
somebody will furnish the provisions"
The Burlington Gazette, democratic,
thinks eff we. do not. annex Cuba the
republicans will have to revise some
of the remarks they made about Gro
yer Clevelands pulling down the flag
in Hawaii
