Working Csnhn~eS

1t is an old saying that cabbages can
not be worked too frequently. They
seem to take fresh start every time
they are cultivated and given a good
hoeing between the plants. This is
particularly the case with late cab
bages, which have portions of the dry
season to contend with.

Journal by way of answer:
The stockholders of the railroads are
robbed of the profits which would go
to them if the railroads Carried their
own small freight as they carry their
own large freight. The Adams Elk
press Company has the monopoly of
the business OH the Pennsylvania and
other big lines. The American runs
the business GA the Vanderbilt lines.
The country is farmed out to express
companies, and it is suspected that
they have huge participating contracts
with the railroads because the big
men in the railroads own the stock of
the express companies. 1t is a graft
similar to the sleeping car graft, the
terminal graft, and the private-car-line
ment by the railroad of its duty as a
common carrier
The Milwaukee Free Press, while it
has nothing to say about a parcels
post, predicts Il growing scarcity of
melons" 1t says:
Among other things, it has dawned
on the average man, (and even the aS-
erage legislator), that the millionaire
melon is forced fruit involving a spe-
cies of injustice in its growth SO it is
a safe prediction that before another
melon of this rare variety can be fos-
tered to perfection by this particular
concern, an investigation of the horti-
cultural methods employed by the Adj
ans and other express companies will
have taken place, and cold atmos-
phere of publicity unfavorable to the
maturing of this luscious fruit in the
climate of America will have perma-
nently set in.

But one fool is greater than the man
who charivaris newly married people,
and that is the fool who shoots him.
1t is southern Iowa that retains the
old custom of charivari parties and the
custom equally old of killing some one
of the cow-belling crew in the front
Yard Of late, from down next the
Missouri line, in the land of the stand

PARTIES that were a complete success,
both as to the amount of noise made
and accurate shooting on the part of
the charivaried groom. In every In
stance he was able to pot his man
from a chamber window. The latest
case is of a county school teacher,
highly respected in Appanoose county,
who shot and fatally wounded one of
the youths who disturbed loves young
dream with tin pans and COW bells.
Happily in northern Iowa an en-
lightened public sentiment has abol-
ished the charivari. 1t was always
half idiotic, half criminal. No one liv-
ing more than twenty-five miles north
of Missouri goes charivaring now
And it is a pity that any communities
remain In the state where weddings
are followed first by riot and later by
funeral.

COUNTY FAIRS AND spELLBInDERs.

| The management of an agricultural
fair association at Marengo have set
bad precedent by setting aside one
day to allow an Oskaloosa man to
crate on Joseph B. Foraker's claims
upon the presidential office. A day will
also be set aside for some democrat or
other to paint the glories of Mr.. Bryan
or some other democrat with aspira-
tons. 1t is said "a large crowd is ex-
pected.
If there is anything in the program
that should give fair basis for such
expectation it does not appear in the
prospectus. County fairs are not pro-
per opportunities for the spellbinder
He does not belong there It is a
place for fat hogs of monstrous girth,
for horses and cattle shiny of coat and
proud of pedigree. The mammoth
pumpkin and the Wolf River apples
that challenge it in size, all that grows
in field and garden, all that cackles
and bawls and whinneys and beats
take precedence over the politician at
the county fair When politicians pro-
longs to base ball and horse racing
and visiting and looking over the floral
hall and visiting the various pens
they become nuisance needing
prompt abatement.
Keep the politicians out, of the coun-
ty fair programs. Iowa is not Indiana.
The first business in Iowa is not pol
tiles but agriculture. The purpose of
the county fair is to display products
OF the county, to offer gathering
place where the people of the county
can meet with common purpose, to
furnish amusement and social enjoy
ment and good time generally. To
all or any of these it is hard to see
how a political henchman bowling the
praises of his candidate can contrib
ute.
Time was when the few gatherings
of the country people might be legiti-
mately used to explain and exploit
candidates.. Then the means and
methods Of publicity were limited.
That time is long past, however, and in
these days Of daily newspapers and
telephones most men know pretty we'll
whom they desire to support without
mixing the political orator with the fat
hogs and fast horses Of the county
fair. Keep him out, unless indeed he
cares to pay his little % cents at the
gate like man and take a chance in
the crowd that is craning it's heads off
trying see tbs base ball match.
