OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

Much has been written on "loafing.
To loaf is supposed by the majority to
be the art of doing nothing, i. e., not
to work at anything And yet scien-
tific loafer, one that gets the most, the
biggest result from his loatinss, needs
method in his Madness and system,
in his allotment of time. The writer
makes no claim to have perfected the
art, he has only made beginning.
Many years of busy life brought him
round to the possibility of Il three
months loaf and then he tackled a
new Job The first thought was nat
urally to lie abed in the morning. Get
up when he pleased. And here at first
start he was desillusionized, for put 1t
down as a fact there isn't bit of
fun of lying abed in the morning II
you don't have to get up. Take away
the Unjust get up wake up with the
consciousness that you don't have to-
and then getting up is not only a
pleasure but relief. Again one of the
writer's anticipated joys was to be
able to read all he wanted to, as long
as he pleased, and when he felt like
it. And away went another pet idea
Reading is best enjoyed, pest appfe-
ciated when you know you ought to
be at work, doing something. All of
his life the writer has stolen time to
read. Read anywhere he could and
when; he could find a little time from
some forced occupation But now here
was a whole forenoon. a whole
afternoon. whole evening, a.
whole three months he could read, and
he didn't want to read. So was it
with sight seeing This scribe had
never had time to take in the show
places of a big city. On business trips
with leisure hour or two he had en-
ioyed hurried trips to this or that
place of interest. Now. with three
months of leisure. he would go to Co
ney Island and stay a week II he felt
like it. But strange to relate, he

follows it with a quiet game of bill
lizards PLAYED against himself. He is
an enthusiastic devotee of the game.
Edwin Walter Sims, upon whose mo-
ton the rebate case against the Chi
cago & Alton road was postponed for
three weeks in Judge Lands court, is
United States district attorney for the
northern district of Illinois He also
has been special attorney for the bu-
reau of corporations at Washington,
and solicitor of the department of
commerce and labor In 100000 he
was county attorney of Cook county.
Mr. Sims was born in Hamilton, Ont.
in 1870, and was educated<in the pub
lie schools of Detroit and Bay City,
Mich. He received his legal educa-
ton in the University of Michigan,
and in 1894 he was admitted to- the
bar Previously he had served as re-
porter, editor or special correspondent
for papers in Detroit and elsewhere.

to the judges publicly that he has
changed his party affiliation and in
tends to support the party of his new
choice. If he make false reply to the
challenge. or false oath, he Is subject
to not less than 500 fine nor more
than $500, or Imprisonment from one
month to six months for the misde-
meanOr.
If a democrat should accept DEM
ocratic ballot and then write on it the
name CT republican candidate for
senator, he would be throwing his
vote away, for he would, in effect, be
voting to make that republican cam
didate on a democratic ticket. a thing
the republican candidate would never
accept. The only way a democrat
could vote for a republican candidate
would be to call for a republican bal
lot Then he would be subject to chal-
lenge, and even if he escaped he would
lose his vote on the democratic ticket
for all other offices The men who
drew up the primary law knew what
they were doing. 1t was the same leg
islature that perfected the anti-pass
law and enacted the 2-cent fare.

BREWERY SALOONS.

\
| Indiana has said that the saloons
owned by breweries must go What
brought the state to this conclusion
| The. same state off affairs that will
bring Iowa to a similar decision. A
brewery saloon may be decent place
as saloons go, but too often is not
ever they are permitted, and the prin-
ciple, the more saloons the worse ones
| is pretty well established The brew
cry saloon is simply an outlet for the
product of the brewery that owns and
backs it, Its manager must make
good. Ii he can make good one way
we'll and good. If not, there are other
ways The point is to sell the stuff
and afford the brewery sufficient
profit to pay the manager his $1S a
week.
4 r',be saloon is bad enough any way
| hard as yet to get rid of without put
ting still worse thing in it's place. II
1 the saloon is to exist, it should be in
the hands and under the management
OF local men of some standing in the
immunity, and who are ready to
keep close to the law. There are such
mon who consider the traffic legit-
| innate one and who conduct it APP
proximately along business lines and
with some sense of personal RESPONSE
bility toward the men they supply and
the, sentiment of the community at
large. To permit outside corporations
| to control local liquor sales is to in
vite degeneration of a degenerative
business. Every city where saloons
are located knows this. 1t is only a
question of time when the outside in
terests will not be allowed to control
| saloons over an entire state.
| And this does not mean that Iowa
breweries should be permitted to own
saloons. Quite the contrary. 1t is the
sentiment and intent OF ftne law ana
the people of Iowa to limit as much as
possible the traffic and to so far as
possible confine it, in a retail sense
at least, to the more respectable and
law abiding of those who are willing
to conduct It,. The tough or absent
owner and the tough barkeeper go far
toward making the tough saloon.
Like seeks like. The cheap saloon is
in most cases a resort for pluguglies
and ken" for crooks. If we are to
tolerate saloons we have no excuse for
carelessness. The brewery saloon
should go. The Indiana plan is the
sensible plan.

THE NEED OF YOUNGER MEN.

/ 1t is reported that the president will
J supply the places of the aged officers
who are close to their retirement with
younger men in command of the battle
| ships to comprise the fiotilla bound
for Pacific waters. The older men,
who by the way are only verging on
| SO years of age. will be given duty on
shore at the navy yards, etc.
! There are good and sufficient rea-
sons why the changes are to be made
| First, the senior officers are at an age
when the active hard work of a diff
cult voyage is burden greater than
they should bear, except under the
most urgent conditions. Second, they
are to be retired soon, and that the
new men who are to take their places
should have some opportunities is to
the good of the service. If we were
unfortunately to be drawn into a war
with any country, it is these new men
who would fight it out. The new men

often they are suppressed and denied
opportunity, while those who have sur
yived their real usefulness are per-
mitted to remain quiescent in places
where vigor and initiative are crown
ing needs.
1t is also reported that the officers
to be replaced by the president are
satisfied with the arrangement. They
realize the needs of the service and
are content with the >honors they have
won and enjoyed. They know that a
wise law will retire them within a
year or two. Many of them are still
good for longer service, but realize
not only the needs of the public serv
ice, but the rights of younger men. In
the navy the age of 81 is accepted by
the navy men themselves as the proper
age for retirement from active service.

he could stay all day and shoot. thet
chutes, eat peanuts and taffy. drink
red lemonade by the barrel, spoiled
it all. A former trip when he took in
all of the sights in three hours, be-
cause he had to catch the eleven twen-

he didn't even care to light it. And
as this is a sort OF self-contession,
here's more in the same line. All of
his natural life the writer has been
forced by circumstances beyond his
control to wear clean shirt, 81 linen
collar, keep his shoes shined and fin
ger nails trimmed. TO, wear cuffs and
stiff hat And here, blessed thought,
he could rough it. Gut came the blue

suspenders, and plus leather belt,

day of that kind of roughing it. and
ones soul (and body) yearned for the
stiffest, hardest linen collar in Chris

would have been such a restfu thing.
To actually pine for pair of pinch
ing patent leather shoes, seems as
strange as to long for aching corns,
but more than metaphoricallJ came
a feeling for the tight shoes and corns.3
And once more. and this is treading on
delicate ground. Some one, may read
it. All of his life the writer has been
waiting for a time and chance to get
acquainted with his family. Business
always has interferred. Now for three
months of domestic bliss. Ninety days
to play with the children. Thirteen
weeks to help the women folks around
the house. No use to have a hired
girl this summer, that writer would
credit family expenses $3.50 per week
and do the heavy house work. And
