AN APPRECIATION

WllIdm r.. OCClafQ IN
Governor Carroll is fortunate man.
He is now the object of much chris
ficiary of a train of circumstances over
which he had little control. In burst
Of petulant disappointment. Daniel
Webster said of General Taylor, "He
was a candidate of great availability"
Taylor had not voted for forty years;
no one knew where he stood with ref
erence to the questions then agitating
the public mind. But he did have
military record Of commendable char
acter. Carroll had less than Taylor to
commend him yet he secured the nom
ination to the office of governor He
has done nothing in the office beyond
it's routine He has nothing to COM
mend him for another term save that
he is harmless from every point of
view He is fortunate in this situation
in finding in the state many men Of
christian temperament who because of
his innocence of endeavor are .unwill-
ing to humiliate him by opposing his
denomination for the customary Sec
ond term. He is fortunate in not hav-
ing a constituent of capitalization cast
into the elements in the state which
would prefer to have some other man
in his place in the state house.
We may be more severe in the case
of Carroll than the situation warrants,
but we never did like trimmer or a
nom comb blatant. In the wake of
every army there are followers who
seek to profit by securing spoils while

From a snug hiding place, old Bar

nearly risked his life in reaching Eng

was a day ahead of Wellington's Of

most depressed point and in twenty
four hours had gained twelve million

shyster. AS auditor OF the state he sat
on the executive council five years and
helped by counsel, by voice and vote
to fix state tax levy. Never once did
he protest against the program which
fixed the amounts that should come
into the state treasury. When he be-
came candidate for the nomination
for governor, he deliberately made a
bid for the votes Of the opposition to
the administration of which he had
been part, by holding up to ridi-
Guile the work which he by voice
and vote helped to perform. By infer

HIGH PRICES.
ICedar RAPIDS Gaze:te.l


The general tendency is toward an
advance in the price Of everything the
consumer has TO buy. There's a big
demand for everything; the supply is
not keeping up 10 the demand; there is
more or less general combination of in
terests that are anxious 70 eliminate
disastrous competition. Il is the most
natural thing in the world for every
thing that man eats, wears. or uses
in any way, advancing in price. And
then there's another reason-the habit
of making the cost of an article as high
as the traffic will bear" is growing:
if those who sell can get high price
for an article they believe they are
foolish TO ask a lower price The high
price can be collected and it would be a
downright shame not 10 take it.

Whether drivers Of airships and ay-

question that lawyers on both sides Of

A LESSON IN IOyALTY

Went down in the Third ward last
Saturday morning looking after some
business and saw three small boys
out on the lawn playing football. The
ball was only bundle of rags tied
together with strings but the boys
were working as tho their lives de-
pended on it. One of them would lie
down and hold the ball and then one
would kick it, the third one would
catch it and then the two would take
him down and sit on him. They saw
US watching them and one OF them
sitting astride his opponent, wiped
his nose, on his coat sleeve, boy fash
ion and called out to us. Say, Mr..
Pharisee, that's what the high school
team is going to do to Waverly this
afternoon" We made encouraging
response and walked on wondering

wcrld that was better than loyalty.

How to Cure a Kicking HORSE.


A good and simple plan to cure Z
kicking horse is to hang a bag of
sand or gravel from the ceiling of the
stable in such way that the bag will
be little distance behind where the
refractory animal is standing. When.
ever he kicks he will strike the bag
and in return will receive smart
blow from it, which he VIII remember.
1t may take a few days to impress
upon his mind that he will always be
rewarded for his unmannerly conduct
in this way, but unless he is exceed
ingly stupid he viii quickly learn tie
lesson, and then the bag may be re-
moved. 1t is asserted that horse
once cured in this manner will never
again think Of kicking. but whether
this is true or not time alone can tell.

election following his registration was

moving into a precinct subsequent to
the registration day were allowed to

A Kentucky statute forbids giving or
furnishing intoxicants to inebriates or
TO any person who habi.ually becomes
intoxicated. In Adams Express Com
pany V. kentucky, 20 Supreme Court
Reporter, 6S3, the express company was
prosecuted for violating that statute by
delivering to an inebriate liquor which
had been purchased by him in Ohio
and sent to him at his residence in
Kentucky. The lower court ruled that
the transportation and delivery of the
liquor did not constitute interstate
commerce. The federal supreme court
held the statute void in so far as it ap-
piled to interstate commerce; liquor,
however obnoxious and hurtful it may
be in the judgment of many, being a
recognized article Of commerce.
