Her Earnings.


The case of Y VS.. X was called. The
woman was the applicant for the divorce,
She was a thin, pale woman, fifty-three
years old, poorly dressed. She had been
married thirty years; she had borne ten
children, six of whom were living. The
complaint she made was, briefly. that her
husband gave her no money for The sup
port of the household and kept her in
total ignorance of how much he had.
When she tried to get money from him
he beat her They lived on a large farm,
where the house bad been built with
money which she had when she married
money which she had saved from
school teaching. She owned now, she
said, three cows and some chickens, and
from the proceeds of these her husband
expected her to clothe herself and buy
groceries, for the family.
In response to the wife's complaint,
the husband, when he took the witness
stand said, There never would have
been any trouble if she had just minded
her business
The man was perfectly sincere. II
was simply impossible for him to COM
prehend that the money affair Of the
family was as much the wife's business
as his own: he really could not see that
/ the work she did in the house aud on
/ the farm. that the children she had
/ borne -four were at work on the farm,
/ that the money she had put into the
| farm. made it any of her business what
/ be did with the farm or, for that mat
/ ter with her This man happened to
/ be mean and brutal, so he cheated his
wife and resorted to brute force to in

/ the farm and her. How many other
men, good-natured men, who are kind

/ everything else, base their generosity on
precisely the same notion that animated
( the brutality Of Mr.. X? The money the
wife receives belongs to the man TO give

ness" The husband may give her all
that she has earned and more, but tbs
fact that she has earned any part OF
that which she receives operates not al
all in determining hew much or how lit
tie she shall have.
Work is work the world over, In thu
home the same as in the shop; 1t i

husband. and the human nature OF th'

Anders a Faithful Worker.

A. j. Anders. president of the Aetna
State Bank of Oelwein is the demo-
cratic candidate for congress in the
Fourth district. If there is man in
Iowa that the democratic party owes
to it is A. j. Anders. He
has been a faithful worker in the demo-
cratic ranks for over twenty years and
knows the game of politics from A to
2. He has always stood for clean men
and clean methods and his record is such
as to put him in position among the peo-
pie that will give Haugen the race of
his life. The announcement of his
candidacy brings to mind an incident
that illustrates the loyalty he enter
tains for his friends. 1t happened sew
eral years ago when the writer was in
the employ of the Dubuque Telegraph
and made frequent trips to Oelwein.
We had met Anders and had become
such intimate friends that the first
man we looked up when we struck
Oelwein was Anders and more than one
political confiab we held in his office in
the rear of the bank. The incident we
refer to concerned the nomination of
Judge Elliot a former partner and
friend of Anders. Elliot at the time
held some state Office in the K. of P.
and was away from home in attendance
at K. of P. convention when some of
the Oelwein republicans took advantage
of his absence and attempted to beat
him out of the nomination by calling a
caucus during his absence. In some
manner, during our stroll about town
Anders got wise to the plot and with a
little assistance of the writer turned
the tables on the plotters and saved the
Judges scalp. Elliott and Anders were
were of different political faith, bu'
Anders simply wouldn't stand for thu
methods used to beat Elliott. Here''
wishing you success, A. J.-Farle.

Jack Dalton in Manson Democrat:
The Great Cnmmins Circus will APP
pear Pomeroy early in May, and
Manson has been thoroughly plastered
over with the paper" of the big show.
Advertising car No. l, in charge of
Boss Bill Poster Bob Horton, arrived
in town last week and pasted Cummins
pictures all over the town, even in the
alleys. The show will be greater
than ever this year, although the open
ing spectacle will be shy its ballet of
knock-kneed democrats. The number
of prohibition freaks in the sideshow
will also be less, but this loss will be
equalized by the addition of quite a
large number of postmasters and con-
gressmen, brought from the jungles
of the Allison domain at an enormous
cost, and held in captivity by the costli-
est cage ever devised.
In the main tent the Great Cummins
is the star feature in his world-famous
bareface political somersaulting over
the back of the common people, "
leaping from the springboard of "per-
sonal liberty and alighting on the
mattress of Flaw enforcement. He
also does a great juggling act with
figures taken from the state capitol and
and transported about the state at a
tremendous cost.
AS special feature of the perform
ance in Pomeroy, George Long has
consented to appear, for one day only,
in his wonderful double contortion act
in which he drinks water with one hand
and beer with the other, all the time
keeping his eye on the nomination TO,
representative. He will also recite the
speech he made Richards last year and
sing two or three bass solos from his
hymn book. 1t will be a great shoW
and worth going miles to see.

G. 0. P. CAUCUS is CALLED.
DISCUSSION OF PAPER PRICES
TO BE SUBJECT.
Speaker Cannon Agrees on Move
Providing Conference Is Requested
by Republican Members.

Washington, Apr. 2S.-As a result |
of the representations of the Ameri-
can Newspaper Publishers associa- |
ton, Speaker Cannon has agreed that
the subject Of the removal of the duty
on wood pulp and the price of print
paper in the United States shall be
discussed at the caucus of the Repub-
licans to be held this week provided a
reasonable number of Republican
members make a request to that eff
feet.
The committee Of the house. APP
pointed by Speaker Cannon to inquire
into the complaint of the publishers
regarding the price of print paper in
the United States, continued it's hear
ing Monday At the outset Chairman
Mann announced the receipt of letter
from President Burbank of the Inter-
national Paper Company expressing
his complete willingness to send to
Washington suitable officials with full
information regarding affairs of this
company, as you will be apt to WISH"
Mr.. Norris submitted to the COM
mittee list of 202 newspapers to
whom the price of paper has been
raised, according to report made to
him. The list showed that these in
creases ranged from 81 to SIT a ton
in the last two years.
Asked by Mr.. Mann if he knew how
much print paper is used annually by
these 202 papers, Mr.. Norris said he
had not the slightest idea. For the
! most part these papers were published
in the smaller cities of the country.
! 1t was not altogether accurate, said
!; Mr.. Norris, to say that as a rule the
/ large newspapers have been able to
| buy their paper supply at less cost
that the small papers; because the
small paper could not get the net bene-
fit of competition between 30 or 40
small mills, while in the case of the
big papers this competition was re-
! stricted by the smallness of the num-
Der of mills capable of manufacturing
/ in individual quantities sufficient to
supply the large users. Mr.. Norris
! said the average of increase in price
4 to the 202 listed publication was sub
stantially $3.50 ton in the last two
years. Mr.. Stafford objected that
the striking of such an average was
mot fair epitome Of the list" mas
much as the list showed, for the most
part, that the increases to the small
| papers we're much larger than the in
creases to the big papers.
In speech in the house Monday
Minority Leader Williams said that
the Democratic flibuster would con-
tinue until the house decided to con-
slider the campaign publicity bill, bill
putting print paper on the free list
and the anti-injunction bill.
