A HOPEFUL SIGN

Some OF us older people remember
very distinctly about the crimes com.
mitted by the Ku.Klux-Klan In the
south few years after the close OF
the war which made night hideous,
especially for the negro in that Sec
ton. During the last year the state
of Tennessee has had an epidemic OF
something similar In It's method and
purpose. They have been called the
N light Riders, because their work
is done in that part of the day. They
belong to the same old crowd who
"love darkness rather than light, be-
cause their deeds are evil"
These fellows did not confine their
attacks of assault and murder to the
negro nor the "poor white" but in
cluded some of the leading citizens
among their victims. 1t is hopeful
sign when the better element have
taken the matter in hands to avenge
the foul murder OF Captain Rankin
at Reelfoot Lake some months ago
and that six of the leaders have been
convicted and sentenced to death Feb,
ruary l9.

NATIVE SONS IN OFFICE

The State of Iowa is sixty-two years
old. Heretofore most of the best Offices
have been filled by men who were born
elsewhere and came here to assist in
developing the great state we have
today. The turn has come now how
ever when the native sons are becom-
ing the leaders in the onward march
toward greater and better things. For
the first time the Iowa born men will
have majority in the legislature,
which met and organized on Monday,
and the new governor, Hon. b. f..
Carroll, who is inaugurated today is
a native Of our own state, the first one
to hold this important Office. Our
United State Senators have always
been men born in other states; but
some Iowa men have represented other
states in the senate. Our Iowa COVER
nor and Iowa legislature should be
able to do some good work for Iowa
during the present session.

BYERS AND RANKIN

The more the Byers plan OF law en-.
forcement is considered in comparison
with other plans that have been sug-
gested and given statewide considera-
ton the better the Byers plan appears.
Compared with the marshal's bill, OF
which large number of Iowa citizens
approve, the Byers plan simply shines.
Byers plan is to enforce all the law.
Rankin's deals primarily with the
liquor traffic. Byers' plan creates lit
tie expense compared with the results
it promises. Rankin's creates a state
constabulary. Byers' forces COM
munities to govern themselves accord
ing to the law. Rankin's sends in a
hired man from the outside to govern
by law. Rankin's bill is one-idea
affair. Byers' government process.
In short, Rankin would make the en-
forcement OF one law supreme; Byers
would enforce the liquor laws and all
other law.
There is no balance to be struck be-
tween the two. One is government
plain, just, equitable and practical.
The other is the scheme OF an enthusi-
asst, and to a degree fanatical, as are
the schemes of all enthusiasts. Mar

T. H. Rogers has sold his 120- acre

long without home but came to town
and closed a deal for the George Bur-

acres, situated in the northwest part
of town, for which he paid So, 200; with

the middle of February; so while the

Audubon Should Make Preparation TO
Give Proper Observance

The one hundreth anniversary of the
birth of Abraham Lincoln will occur

tions are being made throughout the
country to celebrate the event in a

lasting impression for good. Let The
Commercial Club lead in making ready

REBUKE TO ROOSEVELT
The House Lays Part Of His Message on
the Table

In his annual message President
Roosevelt criticised congress for weak
ening the secret service by cutting
down the appropriation for that pur-
pose. In special message he discrim-
mated by naming Smith, Of Iowa, and
some others as the leaders OF the ac-
ton on the appropriation committee,
last year. The committee to whom the
matter was referred made a lengthy
report, recommending that part OF
the message which they considered
lacking in respect should be laid on
the table and given no consideration.
The recommendation Of the commit
tee was adopted and the following
resolution passed by a nearly unani-
nous vote:
Resolved, That the house in the
exercise of its constitutional right de-
clines to consider any communication
from any source which is not in its
own judgment respectful; and be it
further
Resolved, That the special com
mittee and the committee of the whole
house on the state of the union be dis
charged from any consideration o! so
much of the presidents annual mes
sage as relates to the secret service,
and is above set forth, and that the
said portion of the message be laid on
the table; and be il further
" Resolved, That the message OF
the president sent to the house January
4. 1909, being unresponsive to the in
quiry of the house and constituting an
invasion OF the privileges of this house
by questioning the motives and intel
ligence OF members in the exercise OF
their constitutional rights and func-
tions. be laid on the table,
This report gave Hon. Walter l.
Smith an opportunity which he inn
proved to good advantage. According
to the press report, half hundred
members pressed forward to congratu-
late Mr.. Smith upon his speech, Sena-
tors Dolliver and Cummins being
among the first. Among others to lead
in declaring his speech one of the most
forceful ever heard in the house were
former speaker Keller, of Ohio, John
Sharp Williams, the democratic lead
err, and Mr., Smiths colleagues from
Iowa.

about ten days ago and grew worse so
rapidly that he was brought to the

hoped for few days that, notwith-
standing he was very sick man, he
might recover; and even up 10 mid
night his friends had not given up that
he could not live. But from that time
his strength waned away rapidly until
death severed the ties that bound him

GILA MONSTERS BITE.
The Reptile Turns Over to Get Venom,
Into Its Victim,

s'NS - NfNhfh"
1t was his turning over habit that
led me to the discovery as to the bite
Of the CHA monster. This creature.
more like short, stocky snake with
legs on than anything else, has no pol
son fangs, like the rattlesnake, yet his
bite may be just as dangerous. His
poison teeth are In his lower Jaw, and
the poison comes from gland under
the tongue. IL he bites without turn.
Ing over the wound Is not serious, but
II he turns over there is great danger.
DR.. Snow Of the University of Kan
sas wrote me some time ago Of an ex-
perlence he had with the bite Of a
ella monster
The reptile was caught and put In q
bucket. the top OF which was covered
with paper. The bucket was then put
In the wagon In which the doctor was
driving, AS the road was somewhat
rough. the bucket was bounced up and
down, and In order to steady 1t DIR.
Snow put his hand behind him and
took hold Of the bucket, thrusting his
fingers through the newspaper cover
on Its top so that he could hold 1t Sc
cure. Suddenly he felt the monsters
grip on his fingers. Startled and some.
what alarmed, he carefully prled the
jaws Of the reptile open and released
himself. The wounds were such as
any ordinary bite would have made,
and he suffered no more Inconvenience
than might have been expected.
There are many stories current in
Arizona and Sonora as to deaths that
have occurred from ella monsters
bites, but 1t is hard 10 get at the facts.
Careful experiments made with AMI.
mails show that when the reptile bites
and turns over, so That the poison
flows down the tooth grooves into the
wound, the bitten creatures die in a
short time Suburban Life.
