Burlington Hawk-Eye.-A fool in
Fort Dodge and chorus girl We're
married after few hours acquain-
lance it is said, as the result of daily
ing with a cold bottle or two. They
must be growing deliciously Bohemian
in Fort Dodge. Flirtations with
chorus girls and cold bottles and hot
birds are supposed to form part of the
glamor Of life in the great cities. Per
haps that is one OF Fort Dodge's ways
of keeping the Iowa youth pretty close
to the soil and as near to the farm as
she can get him. And perhaps, in
stead of being succeeded by sudden
cheap divorce, the Fort Dodge fool
may prove just as wise or just as for.
tunate in his choice as some others
who have spent years in studying their
future wife. And perhaps the brief
courtship may result in a very long
and very happy married life.

CANNOT EvApE LAW

The reply of Secretary Wilson of
the department of agriculture to the
circular issued by the. National Whole
sale Grocers' association, in which it
was limited that manufacturers OF food
products might find way to circum-
vent the operation of the new pure
food law, makes it plain that if viola
lions of the law go UNPUBLISHED it will
be only because they are not found
out
The circular which aroused the sec
retary to the necessity of making re-
ply, among other things made this
statement, There is nothing in the
law which prohibits the sale of goods
containing any particular coloring
matter or preservative. Parties desir-
ing to use fictitious names might or
ganize firms or corporations under
these names. Fictitious names may
be used with impunity until next Oc-
tober"
When this statement reached the
eye of Secretary Wilson he lost no
time in issuing an order regarding the
enforcement of the law. He stated
that the manufacturers may use the
old labels until October next, but he
declared that under the new law If
these labels do not tell what the pack
age contains a poster must be used to
give this information. He was also
emphatic in his statement that any
manufacturer using unwholesome col
oring matter in any product will lay
himself liable to prosecution. Nc
analine dyes or deleterious preserva
tive" he declared, will be allowed in
food products and manufacturers may
as we'll make up their minds to that
effect and act accordingly"
The department has organized its
force of chemists and inspectors
thanks to the appropriation of $3.50,
900 made by congress for the purpose
before the holiday recess, and the de
partment is being SO equipped as tt
enable it to detect all violations Of
the law and prosecute the guilty

a JUVENILE COURT.

The Iowa legislature will pass upon
a bill to be presented by Judge James
A. Howe of Des Moines providing for
a juvenile court to be patterned after
the Colorado law secured through The
efforts of Judge Ben B. Lindsey OF
Denver The bill has been prepared
as the result of conference of par
ties interested in the question of
juvenile correction, which was attend
ed by Judge Lindsey upon his recent
visit to Des Moines.
The bill will provide for the arrest
Of juvenile delinquents and their de-
tention in & home provided for the
purpose until trial before the juvenile
court Judge. It will also provide for
the punishment of parents or others
contributing to the criminal tendency
or delinquency of the child.
In Colorado, where the law is rigidly
enforced there is as much bitter OPP
position to the workings of the court
as there is praise And the oppon-
ents of the system point to the unus-
ually large number Of juvenile Of
tenders in substantiation of their oppo-
sition.
The theory upon which the court
works is to correct the criminal ten
denotes in juveniles, not to punish the
offenders. To this end the point is in
variably strained to give youthful de-
linquents another chance.
The argument most used against
the juvenile court system is that IT
incites the youth of the town or city
with the feeling. that he may with
impunity commit petty depredations.
knowing that he will not be placed in
Jail, but in the detention home; that
he will not be punished for his first
offense, but will be placed on parole;
that he will not get his name in the
papers, as the Juvenile court proceed
ings are almost invariably suppressed,
and, finally, that for successive mis-
demeanors he will face judge who is
operating under law compelling him
to correct, not to punish, and that he
will be punished only as last re-
sort.
These arguments will probably be
raised against the bill when it is pre-
!, scented to the Iowa legislature. Anoth-
er argument that might well be raised
is-does Iowa need to go to the ex-
pense attendant rpoa instituting the
juvenile court system in order to look
after its youth?
The best feature of the juvenile
court system is the means it affords
for Furnishing parents for permitting
their children to remain out of school
and spend their time in billiard halls
and saloons, but Iowa has truant Of
ficers to keep the children in school
and there are means under the present
laws to enable prosecution of inhuman
parents.

NO FRIENDS LIKE OLD ONES.

There are no friends like old friends.
And none so good and true;
We greet them when we meet them
AS roses greet the dew;
No other friends are dearer,
Though born of kindred mold;
And while we prize the new ones,
We treasure more the old.
There are no friends like old friends,
Where'er we dwell or roam;
In lands beyond the ocean,
Or near the bounds of home:
And when they smile to gladden.,
Or sometimes frown to guide,
We fondly wish those old friends
Were always by our side.
There are no friends like old friends,
To help us with the load
That all must bear who journey
Der life's uneven road;
And when unconquered sorrows
The weary hours invest,
The kindly words of old friends
Are always found the best.
There are no friends like old friends
To calm our frequent fears,
When shadows fall and deepen
Through life's declining years;
And when our faltering footsteps
& Approach the Great Divide
Well long to meet the old friends
Who wait on the other side.

MR.. SELLS, WITHDRAWAL

Sioux City Trubune.-Cato Sells
withdrawal from the race for
the Iowa national committee
ened to keep open some old sores of
the Iowa democracy. The announce
ment will be received with relief by
most Iowa democrats, as well as by
members of the national committee.
The Iowa place on the national COM
mittee was made vacant at the open
ing of the late state campaign when
Committeeman Charles A. Walsh re-
signed rs an expression OF Iissatisfac-
ton with tho work of the state con-
vention. 1t was generally believed
the state committee would endorse
Wilbur M. Marsh of Waterloo, for the
succession. Mr.. Marsh was criticised
as not being an original Bryan man,
and row was precipitated over the
succession that was a serious embar-
rassment to Mr.. Porter in his guber-
material campaign. After the election
Mr.. Sells projected his candidacy in
opposition to Mr.. Marsh, and the lat
ter, after consulting Mr.. Bryan, de-
cided to withdraw Although this left
the field to Mr. Sells, the state COM
mittee refused to indorse him, but
named instead. Judge Wade of Iowa
City. Mr. Sells announced he would
continue his candidacy in the conf
dence that the national committee
would disregard the indorsembent of
the state committee, and me Mr..
tSells. This would raise question
whether the national committee was
really entitled to name committee
man from Iowa. The withdrawal of
Mr.. Sells obviates the necessity for a
conflict on this point.
1t would be interesting to know the
real reason for Mr. Sells withdrawal
at this late date. He says that his
interests in the southwest demand SO
much attention that he will have nc
time to devote to Iowa affairs. But
there is no indication that his interests
[ in the southwest have increased since
his candidacy was first suggested. Did
Mr.. Sells withdraw because convinced
he was beaten? Or did he withdraw
in Difference to another edict from
! William Jennings Bryan?

SAFETY BEFORE cHEAPNEss

Kansas City Times.-The terribly
fatal wreck on the Rock Island rail-
way was accompanied by one feature
which may be almost invariably noted
in such disasters. No one in a Pull
man coach was killed or even serious
ly injured. 1t was another instance
of the efficacy of sleeping car insur-
ance.
There is no disposition among the
people to be severe in their criticism
of railway management. The railway
officials doubtless feel the keenest dis
tress at the fatalities, and the direct
fault was clearly the operator at Vol
land. It may be reasonably asserted
by the railway men that, in the last
analysis much must be trusted in hui
man care and that nothing mechani-
ca. can wholly guard travellers from
such cases of negligence. This should
be admitted and responsibility for the
coils on recognized Hs living With ne
operator yet the railway systems are
not to be absolved from censure. Per-
haps they cannot prevent wrecks, but
they can greatly lessen the number of
deaths in wrecks, if not wholly avoid
them.
The best proof that thing can be
done is that it is done. One who pays
extra fare for the privilege of riding
in Pullman car is protected. Why
not make all cars strong and safe?
Why not place a buffet car, steel built,
between the engines tender and car
| in which are human lives? And why
not guard against rear end collisions
like that in which President Spencer
of the Southern railway. was killed
by providing an empty trailer? The
only objection in any such case is
of course, the cost So, you see, money
is balanced against human life and
outweighs it.
In at least eight of the western
states there is now pending proposed
| Legislation to reduce the existing rates
Of fare for pass engers and 10 lower
the maximum freight rates. Consider
ing the service the railways now give
and the profits they make on the &C
tual capital invested. such Legislation
would be wholly reasonable. But
what the people demand above cheap
ness. is safety. It would be more tt
the public interest to have the rail
ways use surplus of profits for the
4 better and safer equipment Of theil
eyetem and for maintaining an ade
quate force of competent employees
