LICENSING THE DR1NKER.
Cedar Falls Gazette.)

(CeQdT rams ddZellc.J
Some of the newspaper brethren are
discussing the adwisability of compell-
ing a man who drinks liquor to take
out license. This would be about as
Inconsistent as licensing saloons. The
saloon has been declared an evil by the
state, but license is granted to carry
on the evil. If it is an evil to sell, it is
no less an evil to drink, and to Ii
cense drinking would be as reprehen-
sible as to license selling The fact Is
we have never believed and do not now
believe that either the selling or
drinking is a sin, but we do believe
and know that the liquor traffic is a
curse to the nation and the world, and
IL it is to be restricted we ought to
work at both ends. Make drunkenness
crime and enforce the law. 1t is no
more of temptation for a drunkard
to get liquor than it is for some men
to get money, and when these appe-
titles are abnormally developed and be-
come a public menace both should be
-curtailed

Many. newspapers are 1arping over

political career OF John Worth Kern.
But how about the defeats of Bryan

even more significant? 1t must be re-

More evidence that stage marriages

any man can raise to the suggestion

OF course, Mr. Bryan will have big
audiences wherever he goes, for he is
rarely we'll known and an exceptional
word monger. But his audiences will
be largely made up of people who
will enjoy listening to him and then
turn around and go to cast their votes
against him. They will enjoy the nov
city of hearing him, but will prefer to
vote for stability and established prin-
ciples.

EREAKlSH lNEAIuAIlok.

An Iowa girl, afflicted with a case
of infatuation which she deems love
has committed an act that she will
have cause to regret as long as life
lasts. DESERVING a good home at OF
tumwa where comfort and affection
abounded, Grace Hadsell ran away to
Denver with the avowed purpose OF
marrying Hans Albert Despite the eff
forts Of the father to prevent it, the
girl welded Albert in a sensational
manner.
Occasionally marriages CONSUME
mated without parental sanction have
proved happy enough. More often
they have not. The wife of Hans Al
bert has small chance to enjoy her
future existence. ALBERT is we'll known
in Iowa, where for him certificate
Of good character would be difficult to
obtain. His eccentricities were excused
pby some as the heritage of a genius
and the attributes of an artistic tenn
permanent. Others who were not hyp-
Noticed by his musical abilities thought
him insane. When dissipation wrecked
what little mind and manhood he did
possess, the. asylum was the proper
place for him, and the authorities OF
Colorado, where he was incarcerated,
without doubt erred when they paroled
him.
Miss Hadselps father did what any
good parent ought to have done when
he sought to prevent the marriage Of
his daughter to the crazy musician.
Later the tmpressionable girl will rue
the day she was able to surmount the
obstacles placed in the way of her
marriage. There ought to be some
means of Furnishing the minister who
accompanied her to the Jail and per-
formed the ceremony that made her
the wife of a man in prison on
charge of insanity.

SMASHING the IDOLS.

Ell DIR. Thomas E. Green, platform ora
tor. and former clergyman. who spoke
at the Marsllalltown chautauqua, said
i among other things that he had grave
+ doubts as TO whether George Wash
ington was quite as great in every
direction as the popular belief con-
reived him. The speaker said he was
dubious as to whether the immortal
Father of His Country was possessed
OF the executive ability which marked
the character of Benjamin Franklin.
whether he. was the man of affairs
that was Alexander Hamilton, whether
he was as much Of a statesman as
Thomas Jefferson, and whether he was
as scholarly as Samuel Adams.
Recently we have been reading Of
the movement discrediting the story
which gives Betsy Ross an enviable
place in history as the maker Of the
United States flag, for there are a lot
of historical moles who claim they
have been burrowing in the dead past
and have become convinced beyond
the shadow of a doubt that Betsy
had nothing to do with getting up
5"Old Glory" and that the emblem of
the land OF the free and the home
of the brave is a heritage designed
by some other brain and executed by
some other hand-whose they do not

record and ambition for more, took
occasion to criticize the personal APP
pearance of Mrs. Nicholas Longworth,
daughter OF the president of the United
States, and said she Cooked as tho
she might be dissipated. Mrs. Long
worth is very popular in the American
cess Alice"
In the first two instances of idol
smashing there may be no real harm
done by the critics, but In the last the
reprehensible character of the state
ment made almost passes belief. For
an editor to say such things about
any woman on absolutely no evidence
whatever Is piece of criminal reck-
lessness. Even If true it could serve
no good purpose Mrs. Longworth,
as nearly as we can learn, has not
7been trying to force herself or her
habits into the public view.
It seems great pity that the energy
Of criticism cannot be directed into the
present and against things which are
of much more vital interest and inn
portance to the life of today. If
George Washington was not the great
est man in 11istory-and we do not
contend that he vast is vastly i'm
material today Sane men do not want
the man first in the hearts OF his coun
trymen to be given credit at the
expense OF any other worthy figure in
history. But 1t would be better to
elevate some Of the others without
tearing down Washington.
II Betsy Ross was not the mother"
of the flag, who was? Until we can
have substitute for the worthy Betsy
why not let her memory remain
peaceful and honored with the credit
Of a glorious conception? Where's the
harm? Why unsettle the credits and
exaltations Of historical figures as i'm
planted in the Juvenile mind for
scores and scores of years? Why up
root the cherished traditions of the
formative period of the nation? The
muck rake is all right in its place,
but why disturb the dead with it, and
when using it for the present genera
ton why not conffne 1t to people who
are Of public Importance rather than
get It, out for a whack at Mrs. Long
worth?

Since 1T came into control of the Du-

resorting to devious means to put up
the cost of service, and its monopoly

were forced down in competition with
the Independents and this competition
eliminated, rates are being restored to
the former, or to higher basis.

GoMppRs, VOTE DELIVERY

(ManSOn JOuT11HIJ
Mr.. Gompers is evidently not going
to be able to deliver the labor vote
to the democratic candidate, if re-
ports are true. A good many local
organizations have already rebelled
and do not propose to be drawn into
any such a deal. 1t was going into
politics that caused the corruption of
the knights of Labor, one of the early
labor combinations. There are many
things more important to the labor
ing man than the question of injunc-
tions, and the most important of all
is the ability of the party to furnish
the labor to do. The lahoring man
weighs this question great deal
stronger than he does the question of
his right to strike.

A GOOD HOT WEATHER STORY

New Sharon has hot weather news
story which is always good in the man
who eats bananas literally by the
bushel. Such citizen as that Is ver-
liable Godsend to the country newspa
per in the summer time. The New
Sharon Star ought to pay him a bonus
every time he breaks his record. His
name Is j. r. Clements and he first
became known to fame about two
weeks ago. when he disposed Of thirty
six bananas in twenty minutes. The
feat was hailed with loud acclaim by
about every newspaper in the county.
Not content with this, so the Star in
forms, the other day he sent fortytw
choice specimens of his favorite fruit
down the broad red way. That is go
ing some, especially as he climbed
telephone pole Immediately afterward
to show the spectators. as the Star
aptly puts it. that his hustle was not
on the wrong side"
The Star has a gold mine there, but
the humanity OF its editor is superior
to his nose for news and he winds up
his latest account OF the prodigy's per-
formancce by urging Mr.. Clements to
desist from his frenzied course OF ba-
mana destruction. intimating that Old
Dame Nature won't stand such work
and is likely to invite the ambitious
Clements to attend his own funeral.

A GOOD HABIT TO GET RID OF
(Montour Courier)


Why do men swear? Because they
have formed the habit and can not
help 1t? Very few men will swear in
the presence Of ladies. If they can omit
1T then why not always? 1t is a viola
ton OF law and II all citizens would do
their duty. information would be filed
against the guilty parties and they
would be arrested and fined. 1t is only
thru mercy that such violations are
permitted to go unpublished. Profanity
is a species of vulgarity and properly
belongs to the unrefined and low
strata of society. In the army, where
men associate only or mainly with
men, profanity as well as other forms
of vulgarity is common. >Also on the
frontier and the plains, among the
cowboys, but in the most refined So
ciety profanity is never INDUCED In.
We have heard it said that Montour is
the worst place In the world for pro-
family, but 1t is a mistake In fact
Montour is sanity place when COM
pared with some others we know, and
the most encouraging feature of 1t is
that profanity is growing less frequent
every day. We are rapidly approaching
the place of delight in obedience to the
injunction: Let your communication
be yea, yea; nay. nay: for whatsoever
is more than these cometh of evil.
