Iowa People Also Get Rates.

There is rejoicing all over Iowa be-
cause the railroads have arranged to
grant special excursion rate to the
Iowa State Fair to be the familiar and
long popular rate of three cents mile
for the round trip, with a minimum of
Is cents. This was agreed upon at a
conference in Chicago where the rail-
roads were shown that the people of
Iowa, and especially the farmers, are
intensely in earnest in their desire that
they shall have as favorable rates as
those given others. Special rates have
been given cities outside of Iowa, from
Iowa points, and to meetings of less
Importance than the annual Iowa State
Fair, and there is no reason why rates
should not be given Iowa people The
railroad men conceded the justness of
tho argument and State Fair visitors
will get reduced excursion rates for
the last week Of August. This assures
very large Fair attendance and big
business for the railroads.

Perhaps This Concerns You.

During the next three months the
PLAIN DEALER is obliged to raise q
large amount of money for the pay
ment of certain obligations which will
fall due during this time. To do this
it is necessary to collect all back sub
scription money due US. To accomplish
this we have mailed statements of ac-
count to all patrons outside the county
and must insist on prompt remittance
of the amount due US. If possible, a
personal call will be made on our coun-
ty patrons by some representative of
the PLAIN DEALER and we ask that
those knowing themselves indebted to
us will be prepared to pay promptly.
But don't wait for us to call if you
know yourself indebted as it may be
impot sible for US to reach all the time
allowed us.
In addition to the collection of back
subscription money, we will ask that
subscription be paid somewhat in ad-
vance, if possible, to enable US to COM
| ply with the new postal regulations re-
quiring all subscriptions to be in ar
rears no more than one year under
penalty of exclusion of the newspaper
from the mails. The order was issued
last December, but has been enforced
only in few instances. Still, it has
never been revoked and no one knows
when every local postmaster will re-
ceive orders for its immediate and
strict enforcement. We have never
used this order as threat to collect
subscription, nor do we intend to do s.
now, but we ask our readers to cheer.

vance when we call upon you and sc

Two Good Games.

Cresco won an exciting game from
Decorah by the score of to 0, Friday,
at Decorah. The game was won in
the 9th inning on hits by Waldren,
Forsythe and Sanders, and bad throw
of Decorah's catcher to catch man at
first. The first run was earned, the
last came in on an error.
Decorah was dangerously near scor-
ing in innings, having the bases full
and no one out once and one man out
twice.
Both teams played gilt-edged ball all
the time. Cresco played the steadiest
game in the pinches, having no errors.
Waldren, Cresco's new pitcher, made
his first appearance and gave an exhi-
bition of good base ball. The score is
as follows:

meets their passing fancy. They are
the country's army of chance.
They float from one section to the
other as wages and work seem attrac-
tive. They live in the course of few
years in possibly half the states of the
Union, and the tendency is forthem to
degenerate into tramps as the wander
lust grows in their blood. But they are
men, with all the possibilities in them
of good citizenship.
1t has been suggested by one of them
who, after living the wandering life
for years, has become a reputable ply
stefan in Chicago, that the most of
them only need a right start on the
road to respectability to follow it. He
advocates that each city should estab-
lish at its workhouse some forms of
useful industry for the employment Of
these men.
He would then have them all commit
ted for considerable terms, at the end
of which they should be paid in money
and clothing what they had earned and
started again with that appearance Of
spectability which is so large a part
of every man s good conduct and self
respect.
Certainly something of this kind is
far preferable to the soup house. The
world 8 social regime will always be
out of joint so long as thousands walk
the streets in want, while the few rol.
by in automobiles, with more wealth
than is good for them. 1t ought never
to be that man who is willing to
work should be in enforced idleness
If this country would make its meas
ure of value days work instead OF
gold dollar, and guarantee to every
man that days work at the minimum
value that should be placed upon it
the problem of the unemployed would
be solved. Every man would then be
assured of bed and food. No mar
could starve or be driven to public
charity, and the great enterprises in
solving the country's internal improve
ment could be carried on at times OF
depression, on scale that would main.
tain national self respect and relieve
the public and the individual philan
thropist of the burden of charities.
