W rWAa
Tt is UP to the republicans of the
state and this county to say just how
large the majorities OF the republican
candidates snal, be. They are in the
ascendancy of the voters, and it rests
solely with them as to what kind Of
majorities shall result from the elect
ion. The democrats are making
strong efforts to break up the. party
vote throughout the state, and it IS
being done right here in Dawson
county, and which will result in
bringing discredit to the ticket. The
democrats have everything to gam
by splitting .Ae vote ana the repub-
licans have everything to lose, SO
that it is a mighty poor trade that
the democrats are offering. the re-
publican candidates of this state and
county are putting in their time dur
ing the campaign to bring success
to the party and there are other re-
publicans who have the chance to
nullify their work if they listen to
the %pleadings of the democrats. With
a strong republican majority in the
state and in this county it would be
q sad travesty on party adherence to
have the vote divided.

Receive Attention From the
School officers.

Section 14S Of the school law pro-
vides that all children between the
ages of eight and fourteen inclusive,
shall attend school all the time the
school is in session in their district.
unless the school board shall have
reduced the time to sixteen weeks,
and such attendance must be at the
beginning of the school.
Every person having under his
contlol a child OF compulsory school
age offending shall be fined not less
than $40, or more than $40, and
shall stand committed until such fine
and costs of suit are paid. indie
pendent districts shall appoint a tru-
m officer. The county superintendent
is %ey-officio truant officer for other
districts.
Mode of Procedure.
1t shall be the duty of the trl-
N officer, teacher, member or agent
of such board of education to petit
ton, and any reputable citizen may
petition, the county judge to inquire
into the ase of any child of COM
pulsory school age, who is not at

directing him to bring such parent,
guardian or person before the court,
and shall summon such witness as
shall be necessary to ascertain the
facts in the case" and if guilty, such
person shall b fined as before stated.
1t will be seen hal the fine and the
costs of an action CT this kind would
be considerable.
l know that many people are vio-
lating the law and my duty compels
me to take action, and | shall call
upon all persons to obey this law if
they wish to save costs and trouble.
All school clerks must conform to
the law, Sec. 50, and place a copy of
the census report in the school reg
lister and see to it that the copy is

1t has been found that if boy or
girl has some trade at which she can
get fair wages she will be EMPLOYED
regularly and that busy boys and girls
do not get into mischief so readily.
This has been found to be the case in
so manyinstances that it is a rare ex-
ceptlon for boy to go astray after
graduating from the industrial school.
Music has been found to be one of
the most civilizing influences that
there is. At the same time it is found
to be remarkably curative for certain
kinds of troubles. The policy on
which the penal institutions of Iowa
are governed is to make good citizens
out of bad ones whenever possible and
music at the industrial schools and
the penltentiaries has been found one
OF the best means to that end that
there is. The boys and girls at the
industrial schools and the prisoners at
the penitentiary are taught music and
the bands are regular fixtures at all
the institutions.
At the insane hospitals and the
schools for the blind, deaf and feeble
minded music has been found to work
wonders. At these institutions
musical programs are given weekly
and there are little tleatricals at
which the patients who are talented
take part. 1t is relaxation that is
the all desirable thing in the case of
insane patients.
In the work of the institutions
there are several newspapers published
regularly. At the reformatory at
Anamosa, at the schools for the deaf
and the industrial schools regularly
weekly papers are printed and at the
insane hospitals similar publications
for the benefit of the inmates and for
the purpose of educating the children
in the art of printing.
At all these institutions regular
system of parole is in operation. Boys
and girs at the industrial schools and |
children at the other educational in
stitutions and the insane are paroled |
out on good behavior and keeping the
insane out as long as they show signs
of continual improvement saves the
state vast amounts of money in the
care of the patients and inmates and
also works for a better condition
among them,

When Will Bryan Quit.

Probably there is not a single intel
| ligent. we'll balanced democrat in the
country who thinks Bryan will be
victorious in 1905 Most of the de-
mocrats believe that nobody on their
side could carry the country this
year. and that in losing cause Bryan
would be just as good leader as any
body else. Many democrats are &C.
cepting Bryan this year in the hope
that his defeat will rid the party of
him and give it a chance to select
somebody else in 1919. But Mr..
Bryan himself gives no encourage
ment to that idea. He says if he
wins this year he will not seek the
nomination again, but he carefully
omits to say that if he loses he will
not seek another nomination. Two or
three years ago he declared that he
intended to remain in politics as long
as he lived. AS he is only AS years of
age, and is in excellent health, there
is fair prospect that he will main
tain his grip on the democratic party
for a dozen years longer Still de-
feat of the Parker dimensions might
put him out for campaign or two. =

The Iowa Tax Revision ASSOCIATE on
will make an effort to secure a change
in the methods of taxation in Iowa
during the next session of the Iowa
legislature. especially in the matter
of the taxation of mortgages, monies
and CREDITS. stocks AMI bonds, etc
Some are of the belief that there
should be permanent tax commission
having actual power beyond that o
equalizing assessments. as is the case
in several Of the states. On the ques-
tion of mortgages there is much semi
tment in favor of adopting the Min
nesota proposition of fixing a record
ing tax Of fifty cents on each 800. |
This is one.half Of one per cent and |
where the mortgage is recorded for
five year period it amounts to very
little. The vital point in the taxa
tion OF mortgages is the fact that a
foreign corporation owning mortgages
on Iowa property does not have to pay
any tax, while the local Iowa man
who owns a mortgage on his neigh
boris property does have to pay tax.
1t is believed that by fixing mort
gage tax that the discrimination
would be removed and money on
securities could be had at a
less rate of interest and Furthermore
the burden will be on all mortgages
for the reason that they could not be
recorded unless they paid the tax.
Capt. Hull finally wins the con-
gressional nomination in the seventh
