| in the hotel office. Then up
spoke another knight of the
grip. "Oh. don't know" said he,
they're not so bad. When things
were the tightest the hotel man took
me over to the bank to identify me,
and the cashier rashed my draft with
the remark: "Of course We'll do it"
Travelling men have to have money for
car fare and hotel bills" And over in
the corner was a sour-faced salesman
He remarked: Il don't have to ask
any favors of any banker. | pay for

charge me something when ] buy a
draft and something to cash one.
That's all right, I'm not kicking. They

Boys" said an old gray haired
travelling man, I've heard all this and
more about our representatives. We
are fakes, drunkards and dead beats.
We're cheeky and dishonest. We lie,

People that don't know us They get
impressions as you do of some bank
ers. I'll admit in some banks in some
places you can find all of the speci-

they say of us is true of some 1ndi-

what's the use of condemning the

Arizona in No Hurry.

(NeW DIX lTlDuneJ
Even the happy union between Ok
lahoma and Indian Territory does not
appear to fill Arizona with a desire to
go and do likewise. Perhaps the sta
tistics of marital infelicity are so APP
palling that it hesitates to take so
step. No doubt, too,
there is feeling that unless it was
nominated in the bond each party to
the union would feel impelled to de-
vote considerable portion of it's
energies to an effort to prove to the
country in general that it was the
real head of the household.
Governor Kibbey of Arizona terri
tory, in his annual report to the secre-
tary of the interior, says: =.
Nearly year has passed since the
election which defeated the PROPOSE
ton of joint statehood, and I deem it
my duty to report the fact that public
eminent in Arizona is now even
stronger against joint statehood with
New Mexico than it was last year"
The report says further that
the last year was undoubtedly the
most prosperous that the territory has
ever known. The population is about
1856 900 and on June 80 there was a
substantial cash balance in the treas
ury.

HAS DoLL1vER MADE GOOD?
Scranton Journal.)

(ScrantOn Journal
Senator Dolliver said in his Council
Bluffs speech that Governor Cummin'
had assured Senator Allison's friends
over his own signature that he would
not be candidate against Senator AL
lison In support of which Dolliver
produces letter written by Governor
Cummins in April, 1905, in which Gov
ernor Cummins said that he was not a
candidate for any office save that OF
governor. Later, on the 25th day Of
September, 1906-the day following
his speech at Churdan Governor
Cummins delivered a speech In Scran-
ton, and while here he was the guest
Of The Journal, and we asked Gov
ernor Cummins If he expected to be
candidate for senator in 1908? His re-
ply in substance was: II do not know
that will depend largely how matters
shape themselves between: this time
and 1907 And Governor Cummfns
knew, as did all readers of The Jour-
nal and the public press, that we were
ardent supporters of Governor Cum
Minis.
If Governor Cummins in September,
1906, did not know whether or not he
would be candidate for senator two
years later, is it fair to charge that six
months previous to. this he did know
that he would be candidate for Sem
ator Allison's place?

LOOKER.ON In IOWA +

Burt, Dec, 24.-In one store room
here, that of Dawson and Trainers,
one day last week the writer saw 20
600 muskrat skins. Also 100 skunk
and SIS mink hides. This firm have
been paying Is to % cents for musk
rat skins, which shows quite an In
yestment as we'll as considerable mon

simply long sharpened rod, say
half inch in diameter When the shall
low streams or drainage bitches are
frozen over with ice an inch to an men
and a half in thickness, just strong
enough to bear the weight of an Or
binary man, then is when rafting pays
the best. Thru the clear ice the musk
rat can be seen swimming leisurely
along till he sees the hunter, then he
Immediately races with the speed OF
torpedo boat. But just at that time
the spear goes thru the ice and thru
the muskrat into the ground below.
Then he ice is broken with a Ratchet,
the rat thrown out, the skin peeled
off and the program continued. Three
men in three days captured and
brought home 319 muskrat skins. one
of this party once shot 100 muskrats
in one day, this in the spring during
a freshet when the rats had to move
out of winter quarters, without the US
llal notice from the weather manager.

It's funny the notions that get into

could think no worse Mrs. Morning
star was dumfounded. Such view
Of Abe was incomprehensible. And
that 1T should be held by this girl
whom she scorned, seemed past belief,
And yet, deep down in her heart she
knew that Eunice spoke sincerely; that
passing strange as it seemed, she ac-
tually did not want to marry Abe;,
that If that $1,000 was to remain In the
family, she must stoop to coax! She
coax this pauper girl, her serf, to mar
ry her Abe! 1t was bitter humilia-
ton.
She began at first automatically.
She said that of course they wouldn't
'1eave" their adopted daughter go pen
niless to her husband and that II she
did marry their son they would give
her nice purse full of money-up in
the hundreds.
But Eunice did not rise to the bait.
Then the woman humbled herself to
plead with her and to speak Of Abe's
love for her. But this, too. failed.
LET US talk of it no more" Eunice
gently begged, feeling utterly EXHAUST
ed after half hour of the futile dis
cussion. st is of no avail to talk. !"
Mrs. Morningstar tried then to lash
herself into rage and upbraid her OBJ
stinacy, but she found herself strange

unfamiliar Eunice, this girl who calm

ways treated her she found herself

had left her.

SAVING THEIR FACES.

Suffering somewhat from the rebuke
of it's own conscience, the Cedar Rap
ids Republican a few days ago UNI
burdened it's mind to the extent Of a
couple columns, a part Of which was
devoted to this paper The substance
of the two columns is that the Repub-
lican made a great fight for law en-
forcement and that it won. The Reg
lister and Leader saved it's face with
much less effort. 1t simply announced
that the fight had been fought and
won.
Such talk is both amusing and dis
gushing. Think of full grown men
palming off such stuff on the unsophis-
ticated What brilliant galaxy of
nation-saver Just thing of it. What
a beautiful climate! However, per-
naps they should be allowed to slide
out Of an awkward predicament by
the shortest route that their conscience
will allow.
There isn't county in Iowa, in
Guiding Linn and Polk, where the
liquor laws are not willfully and per-
sistently violated every day in the
year. The editor Of the Republican
knows this. If he is sincere, why does
he strive to shift the responsibility
of law enforcement from his own
shoulders and from the shoulders of
his bailiwick? Why does he halloo
at somebody half way across the state?
If he is sincere what effort has he put
forth to force the officials of his part
of the state to do business? If he is
sincere, why does he proclaim battle
won that isn't begun? The Republican
man will find that he will be comfort
ably busy if he answers these ques-
tions satisfactorily to the public. 1t
is all right to howl with reference to
the liquor traffic. but it is a different
thing to do business.
There is no argument against law
enforcement, but there is one against
hypocrisy that is fatal. 1t has been
amusing to see the Republican, Sioux
CITY Journal, and Register and Leader
get to cover.
And the cover, how thin! On the
credit side are bunch of Davenport
saloonkeepers agreeing to close at 10
o'clock and the state legal department
agreeing to furnish some legal help
while $500 lasts in prosecuting cases
instituted by local pditleS where loSe'i
officials fail to act. On the debit side
are the brothels. the hundreds of il
legal mulct saloon sales, and the thou
sands of illegal drug store sales
And the test isn't today. or next
wear. 1t is the years that are coming.
What will the editor of the Republic
can be doing In the days that are
coming? Judgment will be on the
works.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

when it comes to law enforcement
Governor Clnmmins' heart is in the
right place and this applies as mucn
to the mulct saloon as any law on the
statute books, declares the Pocahon-
tas Record.
The jefferson Bee says: Hon.
Warren Garst has issued a formal am
nouncement of his candidacy for gov
ernor. His platform is one that will
appeal to every good citizen, and his
personality is the sort of which hon
est, faithful and capable governors are
made The Bee has heretofore eN-
pressed the hope that it may be made
unanimous for Garst. Why not?'
AS the Perry Chief sees it "One
good thing about the present lieutenant
governor is his established stand in
favor of law enforcement This quail
ity will commend him to many. but at
the same time there are others who
posses the same common sense at
tribute of believing in fearless en-
forcement of the laws
"A gambler is liable to be a thief
and pressed to the last ditch he is Ii
able to be a murderer" asserts the
Hardin County Citizen. THE same is
true of bootlegger."
Speaking Of Garst the Odebolt
Chronicle says: He is a strong, Wig
orous, able man, With much experience
in public life and the courage to stand
for the right as he sees it at all times
and under all circumstances. He Is
progressive republican and is entitled
to the support of progressives; and II
the standpatters decide to oppose him
they will not be able to defeat him
with any candidate who has been pro-
posed up to date
"Garsts' announcement has been eX-
pected for some time, and In way
clears the political situation In Iowa,
says the Guthrie County Guthrian.e 1T
is not expected that his candidacy VIII

the standpatters of the state, who will
probably trot out Col. Dave Palmer to

principle that "the people who try t.

The Scranton Journal believes "All
who favor an upright business man
for governor will be pleased with the
candidacy of Warren Garst. He is not
an experiment, he is true and tried
man. His record of twelve consecu-
tive years in the state senate furnishes
a record that is upimpeachable. Re-
publicans of Iowa, why not make the
nomination Of Garst unanimous?"
