rHE COMING ELECTION.

All things being equal, the Herald
lis for a republican in politics first,
last and all the time. 1t has always
tried to support the republican ticket
with dignity and without defaming or
criticisihg unjustly the men on the
other ticket.
But now and then occasion arises
when it is perhaps best to keep poll
tics out of municipal election. The
business men of the town, and citizens
in general have expressed desire to
do that this year. If the best inter
.ests of the town can be served by an
Independent ticket, the Herald, go
ing on the principle of the greatest
good to the greatest number,-will
keep out of a party fight, and win try
to throw its influence to the men and
measures which it believes will serve
the town best.
There has been growing sentiment
for years that party politics should be
kept ont of city affairs. The Herald
has doubted and still doubts that this
can be done successfully, but is not
disposed to throw any straws in the
way of fair trial Il
1t reserves the right, however, to at
tack a democratic or other ticket that
is put up with some euphonious name
simply to catch the voters mawafes
and cheat the republicans, out. OF their
own. ~ -.
The Independent movemYnt must be
independent and fair to All, and solely
for the best interests of the town. In
that case let politics b& side-tracked,
and a united effort pAt forth to give
Oskaloosa an energetic, an economical
and clean administration of public
affairs.

CHANGES BEST AT HOME.

mere rs no place like home, Is
true in more ways than one. Dis
lance often lends encnantment TO the
yieE of business, as well as of
scenery, Men who tire Of the pres
sure and monotony at home are prone
to imagine easier conditions afar off.
But as they near them they often md.
after all, that beneath the tinted sur
face is stratum, of lead.
These thoughts are suggested to the
Springfield Register by the following
extract from letter written by MIR.
Charles NJ. Freeman from Durango
City. Mexico, regarding possible open
ings for Americans In the state OF Du
range, Mr.. Freeman says:
There is little call for mechanics
and none for clerks or common labor,
ers to come here from the United
States. They cannot, as a rule, com.
pete with the native Mexicans. The
native laborer lives on little; the
clerks are natives of Germany, France
or Spain. An exception may be noted,
however, in the line, of skilled rail-
way employees. Nearly all of the en-
gineers, conductors, master mechan'
les, station agents and chief officials
of Mexican railroads are from the
United States.
Finally, for the man who can Oxford
to come to Mexico to study the Ian
guage, the conditions, the laws, and
who is satisfied to wait his opportun-
ity; openings exist here far ahead
of anything in the older settled parts
of the United States. 1t is an old
country compared with some portions
of our own, but undeveloped in many
ways it is a land of opportunity, but
the men capable of Selling the oppor
tunity here could probably make a
success at home.
The concluding words OF the above
paragraph are significant. In many
ways" observes the writer, "it
tMexico) is a land of opportunity, but
the man capable of Selling the oppor
tunity here could probably make a
success at home" 49,
e The Register suggests that the same
general remark applies specifically in
many other ways. 1t recalls how cas-
lily people in Springfield and other cit
les in Illinois have in time past sue
cumbed to the alluring prospectuses
of mining companies" in distant 10
calities, and how egregiously those
who yielded 10 temptation were de
eeived. The vision of large profits
getting something practically for
nothing, raised the hope, a belief, per
haps, that little Investment would
return fortune-which II practically
never does and cannot do.
Life is struggle everywhere, the
same paper goes on to say But where
you know your people and they know
you. where you know the rules and
can judge of the probabilities. is. ar
ter all, the readiest place for the aver.

above the average, no rules apply;
for he is only the exception that

A QUICK TRIP.
inspection Tour Made. BY Board in
Automobile.

The county board of supervisors
made their regular inspection trip to
the poor farm this morning and on the
way visited the lower bridge across
the Des Moines river, where l.. F.
Baker has been engaged for month
or more in hauling broken rock to
keep the river from overlooking the
road during high water. The trip
to the county farm has usually occu-
pied most of the day, but an automo-
bile was hired this morning and in
three hours after the supervisors left
the city they were back at work in
the court house They report the work
at the south bridge, on the Lakonta
road, to be nearly complete and most
satisfactory. ...'

THE LAWS WE HAVE.

Des MoinNs Register and Leader:
| Inasmuch as no law regulating, re,
stricting or prohibiting the liquor
traffic in Iowa can amount to much
until there is the proper machinery
and a sentiment for enforcement, it
ought to suggest itself to all friends
of temperance that the proper thing
to do is to unite and enforce the
present law.
1t is worthy of consideration that
constitutional prohibition is not self,
enforcing, and that Kansas after
many years is confronted with the
same problem as Iowa. Whatever
the law, whether local option, high
license. mulct, or total prohibition
it must be enforced. and enforce
ment has thus far been by far the
larger part of the difficulty in every
state under every form of restric'
ton.
1t is not too much to say that the
mulct law enforced would n" the
most effective restriction on the Ii
quor traffic in the United States. And
it is perfectly apparent that the con
seryative sentiment of Iowa will sus
tain strict and rigid enforcement
of the mulct law. Why then is it not
the part of wisdom to drop all other
issues and unite to secure a solid
foundation for whatever regulation
the state may in time attempt
A great many bills of great
many varieties have been introduced
already to modify the liquor laws
In this multiplicity of effort there Ii
promise of not much of anything
If those who really want to see The
liquor traffic held within bounds
would come together and say tnat II
is enough for this season to secure
the enforcement of the laws we have
there would be something done, and
something that must be done before
any liquor law will amount to much
more than the paper it is written on
What is the situation as to the
pharmacy law There are apparently
enough restrictions put on the drug
store sale OF whiskey. And yet there
is not county in the state where the
violation of the pharmacy law does
not practically nullify the prohibition
Of the open saloon. What the state
wants 10 enforcement Of the law II
has. There will be time enough &c

Is known What existing legislation will

the fate of his predecessors when he
rs asked to do anything for ottumwa
For instance, General Weaver, when
he was congressman, secured the
government building for Ottumwa,
whefeupon he was defeated at the next
election. Major Lacey secured a su,
perior court for the city, and he was
defeated at the next election. Mr.
Hamilton secured large appropria
ton for new federal building. and he
was promptly turned down at the
election. In each case. too. the Wap-
clio county vote went strongly against
the incumbent. 1t would seem that
the best way to prevent defeat is to
refuse to do anything for Ottumwa.

A Strange Egg.

w. A. Friend, No. 1915 High avenue
west, found hens egg at his place
a few days ago that seems possessed
of peculiar power The egg is sim
liar in looks and size to other eggs,
but it has powers and properties all
its own. 1t is lighter than other eggs
and is able to stand upright on its
small end When turned over it rolls
about and balances in the liyeliest
manner, as though it contained some
quickened object on the inside OF the
shell that could move 1T about.
The egg has probably been imper-
fectly formed and contains only por-
tion of albumen. This being confined
by a membrane to the small end gives
a weight that makes possible the pc
culiar performances OF which It is
capable. The egg may be seen at the
Herald Office.
