WHO IS TO BLAME?
ITama NeWs.1


The News printing office has been
busy this week getting the petit doc
kets printed and ready for the court
term which begins next Monday. In
reading proof on the work our atten-
ton was directed to the fact that we
had read some of the same titles to
eases for the past TWO or three years.
The question naturally arises why are
these cases continually carried along
on dockets from term to term and new
er disposed of. They are a constant and
recurring expense to the court and
county. The clerk of courts must tram
scribe them from one docket to an
other. the county pay for having them
printed in each new set of petit dock
cts. the courts time is taken With mo-
tons to continue, the clerks time II
make new entries and the jurors and
other court machinery must wait and
other cases be delayed while these old
cases are being time and again con-
tinued.
We have wondered whose fault it is
Without going to any particular pains
to trace back the cases We should say
that Brice VS. Lynn Hall VS.. Bohacek
f1all vs.. IueHtHeF, STnltn VS.. LeehIoil
LaFevere VS.. Sheriff, Bohacek VS.. Al
len, FLANDERS vs.. Flanders, and num-
Der Of other cases have been printed
in the dockets for tle last eight terms
of court
Why are they not tried or wiped
off the court calendar? If Hall has q
case against Bohacek why is it no.
presented and heard and judgment
rendered? If Flanders wants divorce
why not take it or get out of court
If there is any merit in controversy
between Bohacek and Allen why ISM
it brought to trial? "The laws delay

with Iowa underlaid with coal and
with the vast areas of pest beds in
northern Iowa the fuel question is still
one to be carefully considered. We keep
fire in this state more months tban We

our period Of Industrial growth ana
activity and fuel is power no matter
What the power with the exception of
water power, a resource in which in
land Iowa IS notably deficient. Just at
present there is great waste in Iowa
mines where slack goes to waste. Few
manufacturers burn slack, mine run is
hard enough to handle. Nobody burns
slack for heating in Iowa tho in the
east its use is pretty general. Nobody
wants it in his bins, dirty and flying.
Nobody wants his chimneys filled with
a stencil that stays. So the slack goes
10 waste and so much heat and power
fails.
The slack and peat briquette has
been hailed as the coming cheap fuel.
Where IS il? Companies have been
formed to work the peat beds. What
are they DOING No peat or slack

LEFT OUT IN THE WEATHER.

Farmer Thompson leaves his ma
chinery out in the weather. A new .1ar-
vester, bought this summer stands ort
in the rain today and every man who
masses the field where it stands for
aorn and rusty, notices it and comments
on the farmer of this day and age who
would leave valuable machine ont
in the rain. They generally predict that
ne will move off the farm with the
aid of the sheriff. They agree that suca
a man ought not have good machinery.
But some of the men who criticized
Thompson leave their boys out nights
On the muck They don't know where
al1ey are. They don't seem TO care.
Some of the boys are in town and some
of them are in saloons and worse tho
kindred places. Now, honest Iniun,
which man has the best right to crit
tcise and condemn the other; the one
who wastes his machine or the other
who wastes his sons?
Blank, the drayman had an Old horse.
Ut was hard worked and ill fed. He
beat it on the street and the humane
society took him in charge, saw that
the man was fined and the old horse
put out Of the way mercifully 1t was
a shame that a dumb animal should
be thus neglected and uncared for. We.
all of us, commended the humane So
ciety.
Another man had three girls They
were i'll fed and beaten too. They had
no clothes fit to attend school in, a
school too where foolish mothers per-
mitted their daughters to wear silks
daily. These children had not even
shoes. When they got old enough TO
run the streets they went there. Tn "
got clothes but you won't want
to be told how they got them. Some
times they met the girls who had al
ways had clothes and a, comfortable
home but whose parents didn't know
Or seem to care where they were o
nights. They all stayed out in the

man needed fining most? Which mar
could point at the other with greater

The Chinese BURGLAR.

''The Chinese burglar is the most
difficult to nab" declared Lecoq, the
detective. 81 might say he is impossi-
BILE to nab. When this yellow scoun-
drel goes burgling he goes naked and
covered with oil. and thus he is as
slippery as an eel. But. you say, why
not nab him by the pigtail. hey? The
answer to that is that his pigtail is
done up in knot on top of his head
and stuck full Of needles and hatpins
with the points turned outward You
often see a Chinaman in Pekin or
Shanghai with his clothes stained with
oil and with tiny red pricks all over
him. He's been having trouble with

Baltimore and Her Saloons
Baltimore Sun, (pem.

A report has been current that the
saloonkeepers of this city will urge the
Legislature to amend the liquor license
law which fixes the license fee for next
year at $1,000 by naming lower sum.
The, argument that seems to be used is
that a charge of 81 900 for a license will
put a number of saloons out of bust
ness, and SO decrease the public rev.
enues, instead of increasing them
In 1907, when the license fee was
$3.50, there were 2,282 licensed saloons
and hotels in the city. In 1865, when
the cost Of licenses was advanced to
$500, there was decrease Of $50, the
number that year being 1922. But, not
withstanding this decrease in numbe-
the public revenues increased srom
$597,951.7 in 1907 to 03,784.59 In
1908.
For the present year the charge for
the license was advanced to $3.50. This
has caused further decrease in the
number of saloons and hotels OF BE

SETTLING HIRED MAN PROBLEM.
ILeRoY Independentl

Charley Morey has the hired man
problem settled for the next year, so
far as he is concerned. Despairing OF
ever getting steady man by the GUS
tomary means, he sent an application
for helper to the immigration en-
ployment bureau at the port of New
York, and last Saturday there arrived
big. strapping German fellow who has
agreed TO stay with Charley for "a year.
He has been in America before and
went back home for a while, but now
comes to stay. He is anxious to learn
farming and will doubtless be a valu-
able man. Other farmers who want
help might find this plan of advantage
to themselves. The employment bureau
is conducted by the government and we
do not think there is any expense to
getting a man this way. except shat
railroad fare from New York is adj
vanced, which later is taken from the
mans wages.
