IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Keokuk Gate City says: "The
fact that a man in Arkansas was
killed by a wild hog a few days ago
has led to the suggestion that it is
about time that state began growing

Blanket the Horses.

To the Editor of the Kick Column.
 Why Is 1t so many forget the needs and sulterings of the horses when the cold weather comes. although they have every consideration for them selves and obtain every sort Of coat and blanket to keep themselves warm? l have seen so many horses on the streets standing al the curbs while their own CTS are inside some building, without any sign of a blanket over them, that l am forced to protest against this in human practice As likely as not there have been horse blankets in the wagons or carriages, too. Why are they not used?
 This is question not alone of hu- manitarianism but of economies. When the horses catch cold lt Is a serious matter and 1t may lead to their death, which, looked at dispassiona tely. means a loss of property | understand the Humane society of Connecticut is look ing out for as many of these cases as 1t can, But it certainly cannot begin to punish every one who ls guilty in this regard so that the reform must be sought for from within

Is for them to say whether they desire @ city charter
 Who are the authorities who will venture to railroad through the legis- lature q bill of this kind and avoid Che approval of those who are the properly constituted body to speak dnaIly-the citizens Of the town of Orange? Why do those who are engineering this charter idea wish to avoid tho voters? The people should again have the op- portunity to vote on this question: How can any venture 10 say that the logis- lature will simply pass the charter and that 1t will not submit to the voters In advance of any action by the cgisla- ture?
 Furthermore 1t must he understood that the new charter Is to differ from the former one in number of partic- ulars It is not the same document It therefore should be printed and dis tributed that 1t may be thoroughly studied and it Is for the people to de- mand that 1t shall be submitted to the voters Any effort to railroad the charter through the legislature should be opposed,

THE LATEST MESS AGE.

It is not very clear how the national government can sue Mir Joseph Pult- ger of the New York World for libel as President Roosevelt desires, The at torney general who Is said to be con- slderlng the form under which he may proceed will be obliged to search dlI- gently to find some proper form, con- stltutlonal or statutory. There is no federal statute on libel against the gov ernmont, authorities state, SO it may be necessary to proceed under New York state law. It will likely be didi- cult to show that what may appear tc he ibelous concerning individuals here and there is equivalent to libel on the government.
 A libel is an injury to d reputation or character and 1t may not be easy to show that the government of the Unit cd States has been hurt in the least in its character To criticise the acts of individuals who may have had something to do with the Panama canal purchase and to call for an iuyestiga- ton and report under the feeling that all may not be well, is fairly within the right of citizens in democratically or- eanized and administered country How the exercise of such a right can be construed as q libel on the government is not easy to understand.
 Tho government is the organism through which q people transact thetl own business, and the people generally are not feeling injured to the extent that they would press libel suit against anybody Only a small group

NICIptL DETAILS.

We are glad to soc that the atten- ton of the Hartford Times has been directed to the proposed charter ap- peals which are Co be made to the in- coming general assembly and that in consequence 1t is impressed with the ahsurdity of the general assembly giv- ing up so much of its time to the con- sideration of municipal details
 Says the Times The truth is that the legislature mcddleS altogether too much with tnc details of city govern mont. A municipal charter ought to lay down general principles and then stop Tho city should be granted q wide latitude in settling details, 1t should be permitted to work out it's own salvation within the broad lines prescribed by tho franchise. Ii should not be compelled 10 go to the legisla- ture when some administrative change Of a minor nature Is found de- sirablc The whole policy of the legis- lature towards municipal corporations ought to be revised The widest meas are of home rule should be granted Responsibility should be vested in the cities themseyes and with that respon- sibilty should go corresponding DOW err"
 What the Times says is perfectly true and it is all the more acceptable because it has not always been the at titudc of that newspaper When it was suggested that the state should adopt q uniform policy, framed along the very lines suggested by our con temporary in it's remarks quoted above, and urged in order that eacn city might be given the largest poss- blc measure of home rule, the Times was found in opposition. The only way in which what 1t now urges with such intelligence can be secured is through the adoption of a uniform charter policy, the state to reserve to itself power over essentials while it yields to the judgment of each locali- ty wnen it comes to details
 If it is true, as has been contended, that each city has Its own troubles and needs to care for them in a char acteristic way, which we do not be- lievc, thon it is all the more necessary that each should be given the oppor- tunity to act without the confusing assistance of a legislative committee, largely made up of men who know municipal life only by hearsay 1t ia perfectly simple to frame suc1 policy as will meet the criticism Of the | Times, if those interested will drop 1 the purely academic phases of the discussion and get right down to what is required The result will be good for the cities of the state and good for the legislature, which needs noth- ing so much as relief from the evils of special Legislation.

THE ORANGE RTER

It is reported that the referendum vote which defeated the charter propo- sition something over a year ago was not q representative vote, It Is also said that this time "the legislature will simply pass the charter and that 1t will not submit it to the voters again " Why not? If the vote before was not representative, 'no question should again be brought before the people in order to obtain O representative vote. The people are the most interested

 The idea of libel suit does not seem to be received by the senate with the decorum which is traditionally believed to belong to that body. II ls reported that members of the chamber laughed when the message was read, while members of the lower house sat and listened in silence None seemed much concerned about "who got the money" But the really serious aspect of the slt- nation is the intmation that a presi- dent may have the power to repress criticism whenever in his opinion he may take exception to it, If this should become possible, it will he difficult tosay where the limitations of free speech and q free press are to be found

THE SIMPLE LIFE

srhe death of Donald C Mitchell "Ik Marvel" brings suddenly to the minds of those who know him per sonally, or through his books tlc rare contentment ne drew from a simple life. Living. as all do. in strenuous age, when work Is done on the jump and rest is matter of extreme econ omy, it Is a bit shocking to have our attention drawn to the higher rewards and delights of simplicity. as the life of K Marvel personided it We slall not have been shocked in vain if the experience awakens in us a more im- pressiye yearning for less strain upon our nerves, a better understanding of what is worth while in this ransitory life of ours
 It may with truth be said that K MarvePs health, which affected his temperament necessarily forced him into simple life and simple enjoy ments, but even that realization does not weaken the soundness of the the ory that true happiness and content ment are not successfully sought amid the noise and hustle of the fray but in the contemplation Of the fun- damental things which shape the most useful human existence It i- possible that K Marvel felt at times fascination for the battle field, and it is sure that he valued the traits of character which were there formed and strengthened, but it was the Kind of fascination we all feel for another, activities, when ours have for the mo- ment paled upon us. By nature tu- mutt was disagreablc to him. It was not vanity on his part but req conviction that the nearer one gets tc nature and tho clearer one learns tc speak its thrilling language the larger the rewards reaped The country side the rural highways, the fire place and the city nesting in the valley below each in its turn, were to him not only impressive proof of Gods handiwork but an inspiration to a better under standing of the mystery of human cX- istence.
 Tx Marvel's experience continued until the end to develop that serenity of mind and statellness Of character which made him more and more q man with a real message to deliver It was. and still is, pleasure to con template him and measure his inhu- ence as an apostle of sweetness and light We suppose he will be denied literary greatness, but whatever dis appointment comes to his admirers through that arbitrary judgment, there will be left them the personal lmowl- edge they have of his influence upon them at times in their lives when they were tired and discouraged with the tasks set them to do, Critics may quarrel, if they will Over his talents Lovers of the simple things in lifc to whose ears a bit of sweet philoso- phy is more musical than the clash of prices, will forever prize him for what he was
