WOULD EXCITE LAwLEssNEss.

Ex-Governor Glenn made a speech
to sunday-sch DOL workers in Mem
phis, Tenn, Monday and Is credited,
or discredited, with having used the
language:
IF / were Governor Of Ten
nessee, IL were sheriff OF Shell
by County, or II I were mayor
Of Memphis, would see to 1t
that open saloons were not run
In Memphis contrary to the pro-
hibition laws. I would put gun
in the hands of every worthy
citizens and tell him to shoot,
and shoot to kill. until l en-
forced respect for the law
IfMr. Glenn was Governor of Ten
nessee and started to carry out such
threats there Is danger that he would
meet his Cooper very soon. 1t Is a
pity that he Is allowed to put such
IDEAS into the heads of the young
Americans. II he put pistols in the
hands or every one TO ENFORCE the
'aw, wouldn't there be more lawless-
ness than ever before?
OF course the way to enforce the
law would be to arrest the guilty par
les and punish them according to
law. 1t will be remembered that
'awlessness was on the increase
While Glenn was Governor, and yet
he didn't place pistols in the hands
If private citizens to enforce the law
Didn't even make any attempt to en-
force the antitrust law. True, he
came near running the railroads in
his State, but they have about re-
covered since his term Of Office ex
pired.
If Mr.. Glenn continues his lecture
tour many North Carolinians will
hope he will stop advertising the fac
hat he hailed from North Carolina

Troubled by Lice.

A lady sitting back of him drop
ped her magazine and an expression
of horror overspread her face.
I've had 'em come clear around
under the jaw continued the man
coolly, and indicating with his fing-
ers where the parasites had journey
ed, land they would eat clear into
the eyes,"
The lady began looking around
tor another seat and started to pick
up her luggage.
Did you use the kerosene raw or
mix it with lard?' ask his seat COM
panion.
Pretty nearly raw" he replied,
and it always did the business
BY this time the lady was just
about ready to flee from the awful
proximity of the man.
Yes" he continued, head lice
are the worst thing to contend with
in the whole business and I'd rather
have cholera any time"
The lady gasped in horror.
Mercy sakes, man! What in the
world are you men talking about
anyway" she finally managed to
ask.
Chickens, madam" he replied
calmly and the lady said, ooh,
beg your pardon, sir. Manson

Mistakes of the Editor.

The editor of the Dover Indepen-
dent doesn't want anyone to send
him any more copies of his paper in
which they have found mistakes. If
they find a perfect copy, however, he
offers big price for it. Same with
all Of US. If the fool critic who
hunts for mistakes in the papers
would find them all he would be
kept busy. We will be pleased to
buy copies of any paper which can
be proven entirely free from errors,
either in Typography or in statements
of facts. We will be pleased to find
a merchant who never made a mis-
take in putting up an order; a law
yer who never lost case through
his own errors; a doctor who never
wrongly diagnosed a case: a drug
gist who never made a mistake; a
post office official who never put the
mail into the wrong box; woman
who never forget to put in the salt
while cooking or to put tea in the
teapot before putting in the water.
Bring in some of your mistakeless
paragons who find 1t so easy to criti-
CHE the papers and We'll give them
the chance of their lives to find
whether they are really human.

Battle in the Clouds" of Fifty Years
Hence.

That the warfare of the future is to
be In some measure conducted high
In the air seems now to be accepted
by all. In anticipation of this devel-
opment of scientific contest OF ma
tions, Pain. the great pyrotechnic
specialist, has prepared for this sea-
son the new display 1.-THE Battle In
the Clouds" which will be shown for
the first time In the west at the Iowa
State Fair commencing Aug. n. This
is said to be by far the most wonder.
full Of the many shows put up OF this
character. 1t includes not only all the
latest developments in bombs, rockets.
signal lights, shells, and novelty de-
vices worked out in colored fire, but
also the use Of airships especially con-
structed from which to carry on the
mock warfare high in the air. The
spectacle must be witnessed with the
thought Of what Is coming in the
future for it illustrates something OF
the wondrous possibilities Of warfare
after the airship has become the COM
mon vehicle of the army.

Scholarship Contests.

Four or five years ago the novelty
of contest in stock and corn judging
at tie State Fair was suggested for
boys and girls, the prizes to be
scholarships at the Agricultural col
lege. 1t was so successful and popu.
lar that a similar contest for girls
in cooking was added iJow each year
some forty or fifty young boys aad
girls from the farms and cities of
Iowa gather at the Fair and show
what they can do in these accomplish
ments. An even larger number will
likely enter this year, since it Is
found that the prize winners OF other
years have distinctly made good In
life. The scholarships go absolutely
free to the boys and girls, and there
is no better way of starting them of
for an education.

Farmers and state Fair.

The mainstay Of the Iowa State
Fair is the farming element of the
State. The farmers come from every
corner Of Iowa, some By team and
some BY automobile, many with
camp outfits to stay q week, and all
eager for information and the bsns
nts which come to those who intsllt
gently So . fair. It II stated that
from the farms and villages of the
state come the ladies who are most
appreciative Of the great concerts
which are given annually. The fact
that the Fair comes the last week Of
August Is an advantage to the farm
ers for that is time when they can
best attend.

In addition to the grand concerts
which are to be given visitors to the
State Fair by the Liberati concert
band on the music Pavilion in the
Plaza or before the Amphitheater
which is world famous and has no riv-
al anywhere, the State fair manage
ment has secured the splendid Iowa
Brigade band of Oskaloosa and the
Tifty-sixth Regiment band of Fort
Dodge. The latter has been at the
Fair several times and is known all
over the northern Iowa. The Oska-
loosa band in like manner is one Of
the most popular in southern Iowa
and capable of excellent work. Ora
hams orchestra will again furnish
stock pavilion concerts. With four
complete musical organizations on the
ground at once State Fair visitors will
not be out of hearing of good music
at any time.

A Story With a Moral.

We were told an interesting and
pathetic little story a few days ago
which again illustrates the old adage
that half the world does not know
how the other half lives. 1t is
further reminder of how little those
who enjoy good health and the use
OF their limbs appreciate that great
blessing.
This story was of newspaper man.
a country editor, the editor of the
Williams Hornet. Williams is a
small town in Hamilton county, and
the Hornet is one of two papers in
that town that are struggling for
existence. The editor of the Hornet
is Walter H. HELEN, a brother of
C. D. HELEN, who established the
evening Tribune in Des Moines that
was recently purchased by the Regis
ter and Leader people. Mr.. HELEN
Is q man of mental vigor and good
ability, but very unfortunate in his
physical health. He has had one leg
amputated, not far from the body, and
has been SO tortured with rheumatism
that the other leg is drawn up until
the heel is almost in contact with the
thigh. His hands have also been
crippled by that disease and his fing-
ers twisted so that he can barely
grasp pencil between his thumb
and finger joint to write manuscript
for his paper. He lies on his back
in his bed, with board against that
doubled up limb, and on that he
writes pungent and forcible para
graphs, while his wife and daugh-
ters do the mechanical work and
local writing for the paper. There
being nothing else that he can do he
reads a great deal and has time to
digest it, and he then expresses his
thoughts in manner seldom found
in papers published in so small
place.
Think of a man in his condition
thus earning his livelihood! Not
only earning his livelihood but actu-
ally extracting pleasure out of life.
His work sustains him. 1t employs
his mind and his body to the extent
that the latter can be employed. He
has his battles as have all newspa-
per men who have ideas and con-
victions, and he has his enemies too
We might weave into the little story
q tale of business trouble in which
he emerged the victor, but will not
digress. Our idea is simply his case
because of it's singularity and to re-
mind others who may consider their
lots not easy of how well off they
really are. There is scarcely any
condition in which a person may be
placed that may not yield some en-
joyment If he Is philosopher enough
to avail himself of what it affords.
This man, on his back with his pen
Gil but feebly grasped in his partially
ulSaDied nand, is gettlng more good
out of life than many a man of ply
sicial vigor who is travelling in paths
of questionable character and cher
ishing schemes of unlawful gain or
political preferment of which he is
unworthy. Such men have their
disappointments, their griefs and
their hates, and in the end learn as
others have learned that all is vani-
ty.
We salute Mr.. Walter H. HELEN
and wish him all the comfort and all
the pleasure that it is possible to
derive from the condition in which
fate has placed him.-Algona Cour-

In the retirement of DIR. j. Edward
Wright from the pastorate of the Church
of the Messiah Unitarian of Montpelier,
Vermont will lose the services of one
who stood almost foremost among the
clergy of the State. During the 40 years
of DIR. Wright's pastorate of the church
he has seen much for which those of his
communion were ostracized accepted as
thew thought orthodoxy" and the con-
illusions of the higher critics, but per-
haps the most pleasing of all to the ven
cradle preacher and teacher is the
Astounding evidence that in his day the
world has grown better in many ways
and produced iconoclasts among the
membership of every creed.

Out in Id a h o.

Mr.. William Nelson who plays the role
of Bob Desmond in the play "Out in
Idaho" which appears at the Middle
bury opera house on Wednesday, April
2lst, has had more than an ordinary
training in dramatic arts. His father,
who played for years at the old Drury
Lane theatre in London, England, re-
moved to America in the early seventies
and young Nelson was born after the
family had moved to the distant West.
Mr.. Nelson was therefore born an actor
and an American Westerner, both of
which qualities help him play the part
as it was meant to be. played by the
author
The age of romance is not yet dead, on
the contrary it is very much alive. The
true American is to be found in the west
and the true American play can only be
things of the west. "Out in Idaho" il
an American play, nothing more or moth
ing less. The characters and situations
are not overdrawn.

GUEST NIGHT.
Century Club Entertsins Nearly
One Hundred.


A very happy event occurred at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. T. E. Boyce. No.
16 Elm street, Monday evening, when
the ladies of the Century club held a
guests night" at which nearly one
hundred of the ladies and invited friends
were present. After an hour of social
intercourse particularly pleasant pro-
gram was furnished, consisting of artis-
tically rendered solos by Mrs. Bernice
Thomas Flint of Mortified and Mrs. S.
S. Eddy. President j. NJ. Thomas of the
college followed in his happiest vein with
remarks that made everyone sit up a
dignity because they were Vermonters.
DR.. d. G. Noble proved himself an ex.
pert in more ways than one. He con-
graduated the ladies of the Century club
in their work of uplifting the social and
intellectual standard of Middlebury, in
their gift of the beautiful fountain and
closed by referring to the ladies as "mem.
bers of the club that does things" Prof.
w. E. Howard, dean of the faculty of
Middlebury college, followed DIR. Noble
with remarks that surely guaranteed him
an invitation to the next guests night
of the club.
Then came the banquet. And such a
spread as it was Suffice it to say that
the committee having this feature in
charge can get hearty Recommendation
from every man present. When Tues
day drew near the guests took their leave
all voting it the pleasantest social func
ton of the year.

Rev. Dr.. w. n. Washburne's Fare
well,

Rev. DR.. w. H. Washburne preached
his farewell sermon Sunday evening at
the Methodist church to congregation
that filled the edifice to OVERLOOKING.
The pastors closing remarks were re-
ceived with close attention, and at the
close of his discourse, fitting words
attesting appreciation of his labors for a
higher spiritual life in Middlebury were
made by Rev. George R. Stair, Rev. DIR.
G. H. Dickinson and President John NJ
Thomas of the college. The Congrega.
tional and Baptist churches were closed
that the pastors and people might pay
tribute to DR.. Washburne.
DIR. Washburne came to this village
from Bennington five years ago and dur.
ing his pastorate has largely increased
the membership of the church, aside
from placing it in good financial con.
dition. A large circle of friends outside
of his parish regret Mr.. Washburne's de-
cision to accept an appointment else
where.
Mr.. Washburne left Tuesday to attend
the annual conference at Gloversvile
