Abba, Iowa. July 2s-Two
lonesome bottles was the re-
suit Of four raids that were made by
the officers recently. In con-
nection hangs tale of how really
wiie-awake the fellows who handle
the stuff are. The county attorney in
vited some of the fellows who are
fee to talk the matter over. They
talked and the men agreed that it

self. He was not a bit backward
about doing the job but he had not
contemplated the men who had been
talking with him going down onto the
street and proclaiming in the public
streets of the action that was to BIO
taken. The first thought it was too
good matter to keep so they told
one and another and by the time the
paper had been issued at the justice

shacks and when the officers made

during the afternoon. the second rad
followed after supper and the third
raid came the next morning. 1t was

Hooking joints were concerned and not
a pint of liquor was brought to the
city for condemnation.
The officers were Just a little bit

the contention is now made that If
hundreds of Ice boxes in the city are

suit there was an awful dry

ruse worked for the spoilers thought

TIE HEARST UPRISING.

1t is hard to consider the Hearst
Independence League. which, the
Hearst papers declare in story and
picture is to hold it's first convention
this evening and tomorrow, in any
other light than as huge joke. The
spectacle 1t presents of one mans
crouch, one mans ambition and one
mans cash, setting out to establish
a new party with himself as its die
tator. however, makes it anything but
a joke. But the small returns that
Hearst cash brings in practical polit-
zeal results have been so often demon
strated that the people will not permit
themselves to be worried over the
moral phase of the Hearst question,
and 1t is probable that Hearst and
Hearst's new party will continue to
be purely a joke. Looking at the mat
ter in this light there is real humor
in the manner in which the Chicago
Tribune today tells of the gathering
of the Hearst clan. The Tribune says:
Mr.. Hearst is willing to uprise as
much as any one individual citizen
should uprise in country which is
going supinely to the demnition bow
vows He is willing to encourage
other citizens to uprise and to strike
down predatory wealth and predatory
octopuses which are dragging the
supine plain people to the bow vows,
but he doesn't want to be the whole
uprising.
When Mr.. Hearst reached town he
feared for a moment down in his in.
nermost heart that he was the entire
outpouring of the plain people, Some
thing seemed to tell him he had paid
money at various times in his life to
about every man who came up to re.
port progress.
Business Manager Solomon Salts
Carvalho had come along with Mr..
Hearst and he was able to corrobor-
ate the suspicious of his chief. Mr..
Carvalho's appearance on the scene is
viewed with profound distrust by the
working elements in the Hearst serv-

There would have been much
more kindly feeling all around if Mr..
Carvalho had just remained in New
York, where he wouldn't see all the
bunting which has to be paid for,
where he could not get a birdseye
view of the hotel space being used
by the outpouring, and where his
financial nerves would not be shock.

EDUCATION HERE AND ABROAD.

tOIN AMI A6ffSAD.
Edwin G. Cooley, the Chicago sup
erintendent of schools, now touring
Europe for the purpose of studying
the school systems there, gives out an
interview in which he says the Amer
lean practice Of giving all pupils an
opportunity to attain the highest in
tellectual development is preferable
to the European system of SPECIALIZE
ton. In Europe he finds that certain
students are marked for certain pur-
suits and their education is adapted
to the particular needs. This system,
he believes, undoubtedly makes for
greater efficiency within a limited
scope, but in general results Is not
compared to the American, idea. In
this country democracy is the bottom
principle of education We decline to
restrict pupils to a choice of callings,
or to make him or her the, victim of a
stereotyped system which determines
his or her career. Mr.. Cooley drew
the following conclusion from his
travels abroad;
"In my judgment, the only great
educational practice in the world
which preserves inviolate the vital
principle of personal initiative is the
American. Compared with this princi-
pie think all other principles, how
ever important In themselves, are sec
ondary. have seen many clever stu
dents in Europe boys and girls re.
markedly well instructed in their par
ticular line of workout outside of
these lines they struck me as sadly
helpless
Most of us will agree with Mr..
Cooley. 1t must be discouraging to
the European boys and girls to trudge
off to school to work out what practi-
cally amounts to an apprenticeship.
Their studies are mapped out for
them. They move along In the groove
and while they gain sound knowl-
edge of the work planned for them,
they learn very little of the other
mans job.
In this country the students person
al initiative gives him a self-reliance
that directs a great influence when his
school days are over. The general
knowledge he gains may not fit him
for any special line of work, but he
is well equipped to take care of him
self after he has chosen a career for
which he believes himself to be fitted.
To start out at childhood to mould
student for any particular line of
work cannot but result in a great
many insists. 1t frequently happens
that several ventures are made in
the vocational field before the boy
finds where he fits.

LET HEARST HAVE HIS FUN.

The Chicago Inter Ocean has an
alyzed the causes leading up to the
NSrming of the Hearst Independence
3nrty and the conclusion it reaches
clears up many things that all of us
have not understood in the past. For
Instance, 1t has not been quite clear
Just why a young man with s20,00o,-
600 or SO should rush into the lime
Rssht and begin publishing newspa-
psrs with such reckless abandon, or
Shy. after securing the ownership of
these newspapers, he should be-
smear them with such lavish colors
The Inter Ocean explains this IT
calls our attention to the way some
hen dedicate their lives to one thing
while some consecrate themselves to
other things. How some are fond of
tyavel. while others are never happier
than when they are out in the woods
with net, chasing bugs.

Such things are apt to happen In
any national uprising and Mr.. Car
valho was useful right off the bat in
reassuring Mr.. Hearst on the subject
of his former acquaintance with many
of the prominent uprisers. Mr.. Hearst
had suspicious. Mr.. Carvalho had
convictions.
There was first of all Upriser Az
thur Brisbane. Mr.. Hearst was not
surprised to find him here, inasmuch
as they knew each other in New
York and came here together from
that city.
Mr.. Hearst recognized Upriser A.
M. Lawrence also as person he had
known in private business life. Prob
ably he had an indistinct recollection
OF having seen Upriser Max Ihmsen
somewhere before. Upriser bill"
Stewart of the local uprising and
striking down had to be identified.
Upriser John Temple Graves was rec
ognized without help. Mr.. Hearst re-
membered having read editorials by
Mr.. Graves and recalled having paid
for them.
1t was not shock for him to dis
cover Upriser Clarence J. Shearn of
| New York among those present. Mr..
Shearn had made the acquaintance of
Mr.. Hearst in legal way and Mr..
Hearst liked the way in which Mr..
| Shearn handled law business for him
| so well that he asked him to come on
and write the resolutions for the lit.
tie stranger. 1t was not a surprise
| for him to find Mr.. Shearp uprising
and striking down.
Upriser Charles Walsh of Iowa was
an old college friend and Mr.. Carval
hos intimate knowledge of Office pay
rolls was not needed to bring him to
the recollection Of the chief of the i'm
pending party.
When Mr.. Hearst had looked the
field over he feared that it would oc
cur to unthinking folks that he was
most of. the performance in the up
rising of the plain people and 1t was
given out that it distressed him tc
consider the possibility of such mis-
conception taking Judgment in the
minds of his countrymen.
Mr.. Brisbane, mentioned in the ar
ticle, is Hearst's editorial writer
Ihmson has been employed in var
ious editorial capacities on the Hearst
papers. Shearn is Hearst's lawyer
John Temple Graves is an editorial
writer on the Hearst papers. Walsh
has been one of Hearst's political
managers since Hearst made his at
tempt to capture the Democratic pres
idential nomination in 1904.
In the Hearst papers today there
was full sized picture of William
Randolph in SLOUGH hat and baggy
trousers There was also a column Of
/ gush and numerous cartoons depict
ing Hearst in heroic poses. Can any
one take such a party and such g
cause seriously?
