this to be borne in mind, in nearly all
city elections, party lines are obliter-

have little or no weight. The case of
Bathhouse John in Chicago or his

this statement. All of the arguments

"GLAD RAGS" AND REFORM.

a Chicago woman is working along
the lines enormously ascribed as the
policy of an Iowa states prison warden
she is attempting TO reform criminals
by dressing them up in new suits of

that men degenerate at their extremi-

shows in bad shoes and hats. careless
ness in the matter of socks and disuse

argues that If the fellow is induced 10

THE OLD, OLD. WARNING,

One of the circulars sent out by the
press bureau of the department of tu-
berculosis is timely in its advice. Its
warning is to clean up. 1t is the same
old warning that comes just behind the
question as TO the fertility of the seed
corn. 1t belongs to spring and the
spring break up. Clean up. Have you
cleaned up?
II is a warning that fits all commune
icable disease. The tuberculosis fighters
have no monopoly of it The germ is
awake and crawling. flying. riding in
every conceivable vehicle. The germ is
about lis business. How about you?
Have you cleaned up?
1t is not enough 10 clean the house
alone, all outbuildings and yards should
be carefully cleaned as we'll Fumiga-
ton should be thorough and general
Trees should be cut away if standing
too close TO our dwellings and groves
should be thinned out if the trees are
too thick to permit an abundant cir
eulation Of air and a good distribution
OF sunlight thruout the grove
All rubbish and garbage should be
removed from around houses and
barns. Cesspools should be removed
and water closets made inaccessible to
flies and absolutely removed rom
possible contamination of wells or
water supplies. Manure and garbage
should be hauled away from barns and
outbuildings and if there have been any
infectious or contagious diseases among
the stock on the farms, barns should
be furnigated and yards ploughed up
and opened to the sunlight and air.
Remember that sunlight and fresh
air are the greatest germ killers known
to mankind and that houses, barns,
outbuildings, yards and groves need
to be opened 10 these germicides
Houses and living abodes should be
screened early and general warfare
should be declared on the common
house fly and mosquito. Both may
transmit disease, especially the fy as
its vacuum or cupped feet are ideal
germ carriers.
Let the sunlight and fresh air into
your house. remove all distractions of
those life-giving elements out of the
way and by observing the proper laws
of nature you will have health and
happiness.

CHILDREN OUT AT NIGHT.
IOskaloosa Globe.l


When q. person goes around the
streets of Oskaloosa after night he
can not help being impressed with
the idea that there are entirely too
many boys and girls of tender age
running around the streets without re-
straint. 1t does not do to say that
their parents ought not to allow this.
That is true. But that doesn't alter
the fact that apparently many parents
permit it. Take any night there is a
show at the opera house and the
young boys gather around in droves,
standing on the outside, pushing. jost-
ling, and making rude remarks. Young
girls can be seen around our streets
any night, unaccompanied and handy
ing words right and left with men
three times their own age. The girls
are not nearly out Of their short
dresses and undoubtedly should be
home, but they are not Some OF them
can be seen in dark corners and are
apparently going rapid pace. This
should not be. The children and
parents are sowing to the wind, and
the reaping Of the whirlwind will be

there was a loose cog in the wheel.

or more indicted city officials. Phila-

argument for self government for cit
les, all this assuming that the re-
suits in these referred to cities, and of
their elections, We're not the greatest
good to the greatest number One need
not be an extremist to claim that in
each and all of these cities, much of
bad government was the direct result
of the ballot in the hands of every
citizen within the city limits.
And here is a chance for some quiet
study. Why is 1t that in city elections
the press has so little power and in
fuence. comparatively speaking. San

The Iowa legislature adjourned On
Friday after one of the most lnprof-
table sessions in the history of the
state viewed from the point of con-
structive legislation. In return for the
several hundred thousand dollars It
cost the taxpayers. it treated them 70
disgusting spectacle of pettiness of
motive and a revolving display of the
personal equation.
The election of Carroll for governor
forecasted the events which have tran
spired. He entered tht governors Of
fee as the crowned victor in guerilla
warfare, and his settled purpose was
| to get the scalp Of every official or
other state servant who had been iden-
tilted with the progressive movement
in republican politics. 1t was an ig-
noble role for the chief executive officer
of state, but Carroll willingly essayed
it. Whatever he had been and what
he was practical politics made him, and
the office of governor as he viewed 1t
possessed no ideals rising above the
sordid level of revenge and spoils

A NEEDLESS ALARM.

Some timid persons and newspapers
have expressed grave fears that should
Governor Shalenberger of Nebraska,
venture to go to Omaha. as his inten-
ton has been announced that he would
be in serious danger of bodily injury
at the hands of those who are smart
ing under the application of the new
closing law. 1t is pointed out that it
is the time of the Ells' fair and that
many members of that organization
are extremely hostile TO the governor
are not q riotous body or inclined TO do
that their liquor business has suffered
by reason of the daylight closing law
and the governors signature. that
thousands of others imagine that their
personal liberties" have suffered
wrong and are filed with the spirit
Of reprisal as well as other spirits that
conduce 70 personal violence.
The alarm expressed, whether it is
felt or not, is pure poppycock. Cover
nor Shallenberger is as safe in Omaha
# he behaves himself and stays where
he ought 70 stay as any other man in
the state The day of assassination and
riot has pretty we'll passed. The sa-
loonists know we'll that any attack
upon the governor would close every
saloon in the state as quickly as the
legislature could get to il. The Elks

personal violence with their own

matters stand the vast majority of
people believe in stricter regulation of
the drink evil and great many in its

Of liquor at retail is concerned. The
universal sentiment is that the inter-
ests and the men who defend and
profit by it may best serve themselves
by keeping a close mouth and a quiet
hand. An attack on Shallenberger
/ would be worth a million men to the
movement against the saloon and the

when and how he chooses. The police
will not guard him closer than will the
bigger and brainer of the liquor traf-

extremely satisfactory to think about
but it would cost all they have left.
