Are bullheads a game fish? That s
the problem that is interesting four of
Ogden's business men. They caught
three small bullheads out of the river
last week. Two game wardens had
them arrested. Justice McBirnie fined
the business men So and costs and
gave half the fine TO the game wardens
The law says that all game fish
measuring over six inches in length
shall be thrown back into the river.
The merchants declare that bullheads
are mud eaters, have mouths like a
bull and are toothless, and that so far
as being game there is nothing to it.
They paid heir fines, however, and
each game warden has $40 as q result
of his labor -Waverly Indep ndent.

In an editorial on the Springfield
riots, the Dubuque Times-Journal
strikes at the root of the matter, as
we understand it, exposing condi-
tion of things which certainly threat
en- the peace and prosperity OF the
country. and which calls for serious
reflection upon the part of all well
disposed persons. ''As was suspected
from the start, black mans assault
upon white woman was q mere ex-
cuse for the outreak. The real cause
was jealousy of the blacks imported
in large numbers to work the mines
and other industries about Spring.
field. Fear has been at the basis of all
race riots in this country. In the
south it has been fear of race mixture.
On the Pacific coast, and in such
localities as Springfield, it has been
fear that the competition of an in.
ferior race would reduce the standard
of living. These "border abrasions. -
as they we're called in frontier days,
NAV be expected to occur from time to
time while this apprehension re-
mains. On the Pacific coast it has
been somewhat allayed by restriction
of oriental immigration. The hatred

In the states threatened by negro in

such as the employers may apply by
forbearing to import negroes in large
numbers The state may act firmly
when the outbreak occurs, but sup.

removal of the cause another.

Iowa farmers go to the state fair in

A number of farmers in north

OTHERS TAKE WARNING.

At the primary election held in
Kansas Senator Chester l. Long was
defeated for denomination by a small
majority. Senator Long is conceded
to be the ablest man in Kansas and
the man best qualified to discharge
the duties of the office of United
States senator He is in the prime of
life, has had experience, having SER
we'd in both houses. He is gentle.
man and a scholar, man of clean
life and is of good repute
Why was Long defeated? The
answer is, simply because he did not
talk long and loud about the things
that he was going to do to the
octopus. He did not proclaim his
own virtues. He did not assert that
he was going to do radical things.
He did not carry an advertising car.
He did not blow his own bugle. He
seemed to have some self respect.
1t is admitted that Long on all
pending questions worked and voted
on the right side. But the Kansas
men said they wanted man to talk,
to brag they wanted Kansas man to
be of the Kansas way of doing things.
1t was far cry from Mrs. Lease to
Chester /. Long. And the friends of
Mrs. Lease have tender memories of
what she was. They admired her.
Chester I. Long lived in the atmos-
phere of Washington. He contracted
the habit of wearing clothes that fit
him, of keeping his shoes blacked and
his hair properly trimm ed. These
were suspicious circumstances. 1t
was inferred that the octopus was
associating with Long. Then it was
remembered that before he removed to
Medicine Lodge, he studied law with
George r. Peck of Topeka. They
forgave him some years ago when he
redeemed a district and defeated
Jerry Simpson for congress. But they
finally forgot him again.
This is an age when it is not suffi-
cient for public man to do right and
to work for the right on committees.
He must talk right. He must spread
something on the record. The issuing
of proclamations is very satisfying.
President Roosevelt thought Chester
/. Long was all right. He was for the
rate bill. He helped the president
secure the legislation that was de-
sired. But he didn't have sufficient
to say against the Standard Oil trust.
Hartman and others. Long did not
keep up with the political procession.

hypocrite it would have been better
for HIM. -Des Moines Capital.
