The seconds then conferred and

not assume responsibility for the
acceptance or rejection of the

is quite positive that he has selected
the winner Of the Los Angeles Phoe
nix race. In the old DAYS when base
ball rivalry between Phoenix and Tue
son was a little hotter that il is now
Mr.. Lewis was the manager of the
Tucson nine. 1t was in 1880 that he
received a challenge from the man
ager of the Phoenix nine to play
for from $4,000 to Sl500.0O. Like
a real sport he accepted the
$500 bet. The game was played in
Tucson and will be remembered by
many of the older citizens of Phoe-
nix. The curve ball had just been in
vented and the Phoenix pitcher was
sending outs over the plate. The UNI
pire could not understand the curves
and did not believe the balls went
over the plate. SO Lewis told his men
to let them pass and take their bases
and three runs were scored in the
first inning The result was IA to )
for Tucson. Mr.. Lewis is going about
town today to renew old acquain-
tances.

THE PLAN is CONTINUOUS.

The Memphis (Mo.) Reveille says
of the special election held In Keokuk
last week and its result:
'sKeokuk, Iowa, voted last week on
the proposition to adopt the commits.
sion plan OF city government. All
parties interested conceded IN advance
the proposition would carry, put
when the votes were counted and II
was found that the proposition car
ried by majority OF about four to
one, everybody marveled at the extent
Of the victory. The new plan go7s
into effect next year and It cannot pc
changed for period Of six years. II
1t works we'll during that time it can
be voted again. II not, the city can
return to the old plan of city govern
ment."
The Reveille is In error In suppos-
ing that the plan must be voted again
at the expiration OF six years In order
to be kept in operation beyond that
time. Once adopted 1t continues In
effect Indefinitely unless repealed by
an adverse vote The six year limit
applies to the time that must elapse
before the matter Of repeal can be
brought to vote, not to the duration
Of the legal life Of the plan.

iowa Farmers and the Tarifl.

Fairfield Ledger: When the farmer
is getting twenty-five cents pound
for ais wool, eight cents pound for
his hides, seventy cents for his corn,
a dollar for his wheat, five cents a hun
dred for his sheep, $500 for his hogs
and $3.50 for his cattle, it Is natural
to expect that prices OF other things
should be high. But tae Ledger
doubts the wisdom OF the people
United States senators or otherwise
who hope to better conditions by re-
ducing tariff duties SO that the foreign
er may enter freely into competition
with the American farmer. 1t remem-
bers other days when wool sold at
eight cents. II a buyer could be found
when aides brought only cent g
pound, not enough to pay for the skin
ming. when corn and oats went at
twenty cents, wheat at fifty and horses
could scarcely be given away 1t re-
members also that those were the days
OF tariff-ripping, and Of commercial,
industrial and agricultural distress as
well. AS the Iowa farmer is repre-
sented in congress he is willing to
try 1t again.

ment Is In the middle With the seats
forming sort Of observation com.
partment In the rear. The smoking
compartment is next to the other side
Of the entrance with the baggage room
between It and the engine room.
The car Is lighted by electricity and
heated by iot water circulated through
the car body, the heat being obtained
from the gases exhausted by the en-
CINE. An air whistle and gong are
also provided. Combined straight and
automatic air brakes are also part Of
the equipment, the straight air being
for use when the car Is operated alone,
and the automatic air when
1t is hauling trailer. The
compressed air Is supplied from q
pump operated from the crank shaft
OF the engine.
The advantages Of the new gas-elec-
trio cars for short line roads are man
ifold. With electric propulsion and
control the car can be stopped or
started in an instant while the gaso-
line engine is kept running. The en-
CINE does not have to be stopped and
started every time the car makes q
station; the simple turning Of the
controller handle cuts off the current
and the motors come to stop.
It is claimed that this new gas-elec-
trio car represents the highest devel-
opment in railroad engineering prac-
tice. It combines the maximum OF
power and safety with the minimum
OF weight and cost.

Dividing the Republican Party.

Creston Advertiser: With about
half the Republican newspapers in
Iowa, Minnesota and some Of the other
middle west states assailing the Re-
publican President, innpugning his mo-
tives, questioning his honesty and
sincerity, charging him with default
ing on his promises and more or less
openly criticizipg him in the language
which might be expected from his
Democratic opponents, the Republi-
can party would be disastrously de-
feated In this part Of the country in
the next campaign If the Democratic
party had enough party spirit to take
advantage Of the opportunity. In Iowa
most every newspaper which a little
more than year ago was claiming
that the only real friends Of the
Roosevelt policies and Of Taft as his
successor were the members of it's
own faction is now either openly and
bitterly criticizing the President or Is
sneering at him. The ammunition
they are furnishing the Democratic
party would be sufficient to defeat the
Republican party II the Democrats
had not lost almost every attribute
which a victorious party needs. The
trouble with the Democracy in this
state is that 1t has been fomenting
Republican quarrels that 1t has had
no time to devote. to It's own interests
or its own principles. During the
1 past few years Democratic papers
have devoted columns to the promo
tion of Republican factionalism and
have apparently begrudged lines to
4 the advocacy of Democratic principles
and policies. Democrats have been
encouraged to take part in Republic
can affairs until the Democratic party
is hardly more than name in this
state. All of which is very fortunate
for the Republican party under pres
ent circumstances.

The Fairfield Ledger says:

"Keokuk has adopted the commits
sion plan of government by majority
of $50 in total vote of 2,119. 1t Is to
be hoped she has not also adopted the
Des Moines plan of constant conten-
ton and bitter pickering"
The reference to Des Moines recalls
what leading citizen of that city
said to the editor of this paper a day
or two ago regarding the practical
workings of the commission plan
there. He declared that under the new
arrangement Des Moines has the most
Indifferent city officials and the best
city government III all it's history. It
appears from this that the plan yields
good results despite the handicap Of
undesirable commissioners.

The Demand for Reform.

Clinton Herald: The demand on
the part Of the people for reforms in
our municipal governments is not the
only reform that is being demanded.
The people are asking that many Ills
be corrected, that all evils Of every
kind be wiped out. We have been
altogether too careless in the past
and have permitted a condition OF
affairs to arrive that threaten our
destruction. These things, however,
are never permitted to go only so
far. When the people come to an
understanding OF their danger they
are always ready to rise up In their
might and apply corrective measures.
The demand for a better system OF
municipal government is but one of
the numerous demands being made.
Iowa is Just now putting In force a
number OF the most stringent laws
ever enacted by a state legislature
These laws came as the result OF a
demand on the part OF the people
who saw the danger that confronted
them, and asked that there be stop
to practices which had crept into our
lives. Other corrective movements
are in progress and today the great
est reform wave ever known in the
Unitei States is sweeping over the
country.

Maxine Bows Loaf by Law.

Cedar Rapids Republican,: After
the Fourth OF July every boy under
fourteen must become q loafer. He
cannot get work in Iowa, except on
the farms. This is one Of the worst
laws ever enacted In any state. The
law should have made an exception OF
the three summer months. The boy
who spends his time loafing is apt to
be a boy started on the wrong road.
There are hundred boys under four
teen years Of age who would better be
at work earning their living instead
OF compelling their poor mothers to
earn their living while they are loaf
ing. This new law needs amending
and needs 1t at once.

According to bulletin just issued
by the Illinois board of agriculture
that state is to have another heavy
crop of corn this year. Despite the I'M
favorable weather early in the season,
farmers succeeded in getting in five
per cent more area of corn than they
did last year, and it's condition at this
time Is seventeen points above what
1t was year ago at this time. AL
together, the condition is above nine.
ty per cent of normal for this season
While the crop will not be SO large
as it has been in some other years
the prospect is SO far ahead of wha,
was expected earlier in the season
that farmers are to be congratulated
At prevailing prices, they will have
an unusually prosperous year.

ANOTHER NEW GAs-ELEcTRIc

One of the most interesting exhibits
at the Master Mechanics and Master
Car Builders convention held this
season at Atlantic City was the new
gas-electric car, exhibited by the Gen.
eral Electric company, which con-
tanned little power plant of its own.
This type Of car is designed for use
on steam and interurban railway lines
and the power plant, located in the
front of the car, consists OF 100
horse power, s-cylinder gasoline en-
CINE direct connected to a 1875 horse
power dynamo. This power plant
takes the place of the old fashioned
power house, transmission lines, sub
stations and all the other electrical
apparatus necessary for an electric
line and furnishes the current to drive
the two 100 horse power motors gear
| ed to the front trucks. When used
on steam roads 1t takes the place of
the engine, tender, baggage car and
day coach.
It Is prophesied by railroad men
/ that the new gas-electric cars will
revolutionize railroading on short
lines. The car is about forty feet long.
of steel construction, the ends para
bolic in shape In order to reduce the
air resistance to minimum when
travelling at high speed. 1t will very
easily make sixty miles an hour on
the more favorable stretches of track.
The car will carry about sixty pas
sengers, seating that number in com.
fort, besides the usual amount OF bag
gage, express and mail. In the for
ward end of the car is located the
motive power which consists of one
of the most powerful gas engines OF
It's weight in the world, driving a
powerful little dynamo of 125 horse
power capacity. The current from
this dynamo is carried to the motors
geared to the forward truck, which
drive the car. The new car is con
trolled similar to large interurbar
trolley car. With the controller han
dies it can be quickly started, stopped
accelerated. reversed. giving great
, fiexibility OF control.
