one Of the ablest criminal lawyers in
the state of Iowa, and has had expert
ence in the office Of county attorney.
He was elected county attorney Of De-
catur county Tor the term commencing
Jan. 1, 1907, and two years later he was
reelected by big majority. He was
again nominated for county attorney
two years ago and elected and he has
made a model officer and record of
which he may we'll be proud Of During
the term from Jan. 1, 1907, to the pres
ent date he has secured sixteen convic-
tions and during that time has collect
ed and had paid into the county treas
ury the sum of S2,125.CO in fines, while
the total criminal court costs of Decatur
county during that time have only been
$1,000, SO that the amount collected in
fines has more than paid the court ex-
penses and the salary of the county
attorney. During the three terms
which he has served as county attorney
he has collected in fines a total of
collected during the five terms of J. H
McVey, A. P. Olsen and w. B. Kelley.
In other words Mr.. Baker has collected
in fines just $150.12 less in his
three terms than his predecessors COL
lected during their full five terms. But
the most important thing is the amount
Of the criminal court costs during the
same period. During the five terms of
McVey, Olsen and Kelley, the total
criminal court costs amounted to
SAT, 113.25, while during the three terms
MIR. Baker held the Office the expense
was only S12,12S.6S, and during his
terms of Office some of the biggest Grim
inal cases in the history of the county
were tried. Since Mr.. Baker took the
Office OF county attorney on Jan. 1, 1907,
the total criminal court costs of the
county has only been $175.90, while dur
ing that same period he has collected
fines amounting to S2,125.00, and has Sc
cured the conviction of sixteen Grimm
ais. There remains but one more term
of court this year, and there will be no
criminal cases tried before a jury at the
coming term, as arrangements will be
made to accept plea of guilty in the
only important criminal case on the
docket. Is this not record which en-
titles Mr.. Baker to a reelection? The
taxpay ers of the county are the ones
who have the criminal court expenses
to pay and it is to their pecuniary in
terest to continue Mr.. Baker in the
Office OF county attorney. He stands on
his record and the above figures can
not be disputed. as they are matter Of
public record and can be verified by
any person who will take the trouble to
look up the r. cords at the court house.
Vote for George w. Baker for county
attol ney and elect man who will look
after the interest OF the people all the
time and not pile up thousands of dol
lars OF court costs for them to pay.

man, and in all his dealing with thou
sands of people he has been found to be
on the square. Let the intelligent
voters now be on the square with him
and vote to have him fill the office of
sheriff Of Decatur county for the com
ing two years. 1t is not necessary that
his praises should be sounded for he is
too we'll known to need any boosting,
and he is going to be elected next Tues
day u, less all signs Of the political
aroma fail in this county.

tendent.
The voters of Decatur county are
familiar with Prof. Eli Hutchinson's
record as county superintendent of the
schools OF Decatur county, and there
was never man elected to this most
important county office who gave better
satisfaction than Prof Hutchinson. In
the face of almost overwhelming odds
he was defeated two years ago for re-
election by only AZ votes, and in that
there were mere than enough
stay at home democrats to have easily
elected him. During the three years
which he filled the Office OF county
supsrintende Mt there was a great i'm
provelnent in the work done in the
public schools of Decatur county, for he
was tireless worker, and left nothing
undone to better the schools. He holds
first-class state certificate and is un-
usually we'll qualified to fill this Office
He inaugurated the summer school in
connection with the county normal in
stitute which has proven such great
success and has been the means of pro-
viding Decatur county with many good
teachers. During his term Of Office all
the schools in the county were regular
ly visited and his advice was followed
by the teachers in school methods with
the result that there was great inn
provement in the rural schools espec-
tally. Never during his term Of office

question I should answer mo-" hut ] am
not sure I no understand the question.
II seems to mt like asking docs Il spot.
ted man neel a spotted hnrsei' The
FIRST and hest relation between a man and
H horse has nothing to do With spotted.
ness in either party. When lie has got a
good horse, a brave, beautiful and intelli.
gent or otherwise admirable horse, the
spotted man may then lif he likes, con-
graduate himself upon the fact that the
variegated pattern upon himself Is re
peated BON his horse, thus making
them one decorative scheme. But the
emotions which make a man want q
horse are emotions having nothing To do
with spots. And you must not at this
moment rise with a flag in your hand
and say that ! am insulting woman by
making her the same as the horse. I
am not; your logic is defective. If l
class = wife with u horse I should in til.
same sense class q husband with a horse.
In the SAME sense ! should say that a
clever woman does not need a clever
husband. Sex relations do not depend
upon the intcllectualism. either in pro
ducing momeutary pleasure OF in pro.
ducing permanent happiness. Neither
in the highest love NOT in the lowest lust
does q man remember whether he is
clever or not. Far less does he trouble
whether cleverness Chsracterizes the
sources either Of his pleasure or Of his
happiness. The wisest man in the world
might do the wisest &C, ii his life in
marrying . stupid womah--if there are
any stupid women. which l doubt.
This. unfortunately. the point. II IA
opeu to discussion whether every clever
man needs u clever wife. but it is quite
certain tina, he gets a clever wiie--becsuse
! there are no wives who are not clever.
There are. perhaps, woineu who are not
clever. You can find a dull WOMAN. you
can 6ud 4 dull married woman, but you
cannot ind u dull wife. Wives when
acting as wives are all mentally active,
and horribly clear.headed. There 10 no
clever man who does not find his wife
