Secretary Wilson states that more
than 25o0o0,0oo tons of freight are
hauled every year over country roads
to railroads, not including the i'm
mense tonnage hauled to wharves and
docks for water shipment, and for
this the farmer pays not less than
twenty-three cents per ton per mile,
the average haul being about nine
miles. This transportation over the
public roads to the railroads represents
an annual cost of over half a billion
dollars. In France hauling is done in
many cases at as low cost of seven
cents per ton per mile. and the average
there is probably not more than half
of the average for the United States.
The better roads in France account for
the difference in cost.

discontinued is that of throwing dead
rats into the streets a leading prac-
titioner of medicine whose business

rats. The practice is not only dis
gushing, but unsanitery and extremely
dangerous as we'll It has been dis
covered within the past few years that
rats are the carriers of the contagion
of the terrible disease known as the
bubonic plague. The ratG are infested
with fieas and the fieas infected with
the plague are the direct and active
agents in the dissemination OF the dis
ease. BY preference they abound on
Norway rats, but they are not con
fired TO this species. They may make
their habitat on any kind or a.
riety of rat. Scarcely a Pacific coast
city is free from the plague and in
some of them the fatalities have been
alarmingly numerous. To prevent
the spread of the disease it is neces-
sal'y to exterminate the rats and burn
their bodies. This litter precaution
slould never be omitted What with
furnaces and stoves in full blast t
this time OF year the conveniences for
cremating the pests are directly at

The danger of bubonic plague inva-
sion is greater in Keokuk ard other

aware A warfare of determination
against rats should be inaugurated at

be promptly burned.

stand for 1t. If 1t Is attempted as was
suggested at the temperance meeting
at the Methodist church by Col. Bell,
to force the state marshal bill along
with the temperance cause, both Will
fall by the wayside. You are biting
off more than you can chew.
And mind you, we do not impugn
Gel Bells motives, for he Is just as
honest in his views as we are in ours,
but the people simply will not vote for
that kind of proposition. They wish
to have voice in enforcing the laws
interference. To force a state marshal
bill at this time viii! only reflect dis
credit upon cur present county officers
all over the state, and until they are
tried, every man, every officer has the
right to the assumption that he will do
his sworn duty After he has shown
that he will not do it, then it is time
enough to import law officers. 1t is
very well known and will not be de-
MED that the law is pretty well en-
forced in most counties il Iowa and
even in most of the cities Even
Davenport and Burlington and Du-
buque and Ottumwa are obeying the
law. Indeed, Ottumwa is about to
join the down and out class along with
Muscatine. So what need is there of a
state marshal law
We do not believe the Democrat will
be accused of favoring drunkenness or
debauchery of any kind. We do not
believe anybody hates drunkenness
worse than the Democrat, but in the
interests of true temperance, we wish
to protest against any un-American
state marshal law 1t will not win
the sympathy of our people.
Sam. McCleery, who is the man be-
hind the gun from this county, the
man with the vote in the legislature,
will never vote for such bill, and we
say it without ever once having dis
cussed the matter with him at all
But we make a guess of it on the
theory that he knows the temper of his
constituents too we'll to do such
thing. We have not yet admitted our
inability to regulate our own affairs
and we have not admitted that the
people are impotent to enforce their
laws. Until they do admit it, it Is
unwise to suggest state marshal bills
And besides, Rankin, WHO is the
father of the bill, is ar old, unmit
i igated fraud.
