"PA. SMITHS BATH.

Up. A. Smith in Scranton Journal
Il is said of a travelling man that
when he brought in his expense ac-
count to the firm he was working for,
that among the items in his expense
account was zone overcoat $1,000" His
firm did not understand how it was
that he had charged them with an
overcoat, SO when they settled with
him they said to him, you are a splen-
did salesman and We want you to re-
main with US, but we can't buy your
overcoats." So at the next settlement
the firm said to him, This bill is all
right, we don't see any overcoat IN the
BILL" to which the salesman replied:
mo I know you don't, but it is there
all the same"
This is true of the baths in the ex-
pense accounts of state employees. The
word bath does not appear in their ex-
pense accounts, but it is there just the
same, but it is placed under the letter
L. which stands for lodging, and it cost
80 cents. You order room at the hotel
with bath tub for $500, your neighbor
takes the adjoining room without bath
tub and pays s1.5O for the same. So
figure it as you may your bath costs
so cents and the state pays for the
bath. On the same principle that the
firm paid for the ovencoat, the state
pays for the bath. with the exception
that the bath is an honorable and
legitimate charge. The executive coun-
Gil perhaps is afraid that if paid for
under the title bath" that such bills
will become too numerous.
1t is like the trick. Now you see it
and now you don't see it"

DON'T FIGHT TRAVELLING MEN.

The travelling mems organizations
have formally resolved to work united
" for the enforcement of the hotel in
spection laws of Iowa. The hotel men,
too, are organized, have employed at
torneys and have even secured an in
junction restraining the immediate en-
forcement of the law.
1t seems strange to the average per-
son that hotel men should be so short
sighted as to oppose any demand to
provide fire escapes for their buildings.
1t would seem to men who have to
hustle for trade, who have to buy new
machines, devise new styles and other
wise meet every demand of the ficls
public in order to keep UP their trade,
fire escapes if for no other purpose
than to draw trade.
In towns in which the price Of real
estate is not prohibitive the two story
hotel well conducted is a winner be-
cause guests need not go above the
second floor. In larger towns, how
ever, the three and four story hotel
is a necessity and it is here that the
fire escapes should be made one of the
prominent features of hotel advertis-
ing. What is the cost of coil of rope
in a room compared TO having that
room always occupied at 81 night?
Figure how long it would take to make
100 per cent profit on the rope.
The travelling men are fighting for
the safety of their lives. They should
have the force of public sentiment be-
hind them, in fact they do have The
hotel men on the other hand, are fool
ishly opposing. For business reasons
alone they ought TO be running out TO
meet the travelling public with all that
IS asked and more. They ought to be
curt after business. The travelling men
and the newspapers will agitate this
thing until a hotel without fire escapes
will look like a deserted grave yard, so
the inn keeper who would stay in bus
mess had better get out of the way of
the cars.

Iona Newspapers
CONGRESSIONAL SUCCESSION
Esprit Lake Beacon.]


It is early to discuss congressional
succession for next year, but just the
same the discussion proceeds. The
Eleventh district situation is attract
ing attention in northwest Iowa and
elsewhere. The newspapers have said
Congressman Hubbard is likely 10
leave congress from choice to engage
in prominent professional work. Men
who do not endorse his stalwart pro-
gressive tendencies seem anxious to
accept this view and nominate his
successor. The Beacon does not as
sumo to have any inside Information as
to the intentions Of our congressman
or any Of our aspiring district states
men, and ii has no yearn,ng to pro-
mote agitation or sound keynotes. It
would seem, however, that if the Dlev-
snth congressional district wants to
make sure Of being represented by a
man who will stand with Cummins
and Dolliver on the firing line Of ra-
tional political reform it were well to
insist upon another term for Hubbard
On the other hand, If the district
wants to augment the forces which
stand for the Cannon Aldrich program
better look up another man. Hubbard
has made it clear just about what
line Of policy he will stand for at
Washington and If our folks Like this
sort OF thing 1t would better keep him
anchored to his job.

GREENE COUNTYs GRAVEL
ROADS.
(Ida Grove Pioneer.)

We read in the Jefferson Bee that
Greene county now has 300 miles of
permanent gravel highways, and all
the bridges in that county are of con-
crete. In other words Greene coun-
ty has disposed of the bridge prob
lem by putting in bridges that do not
need repairs, and the authorities there
are now starting to work on the good
roads problem in a manner that shows
sound business sense.
Last year we took trip across
country to Des Moines in an antonao-
bile, and we remember very distinctly
the roads and the bridges of Greene
county, for they We're distinctly differ
ent from anything else we encountered
and 1t was plain the people of that
county were going about the road and
bridge problem in sensible manner.
Their concrete arch bridges are long
and wide, and perhaps cost more than
steel bridges, but they are built for all
time, whereas q steel bridge can not
be expected to last longer than a
quarter century. and 1t is always re-
curling repairs. Now that the con-
crete bridges are installed turnout the
country there 10 little use for a. bridge
fund any more, and this can be used in
building permanent roads.

BUSTING THE TRUST
Isioux CITY Tribunal

TSjoux City Tribune1
Farmers OF Harrison county have
found a way to defeat the beef trust
admitting, of course. that there is
such thing as beef trust-and this
is the way they d. it.
In the more thickly populated farm
ing districts of that county the farm
ers have what might be termed a
butchering association. One week some
member of that association kills a good
"critter." Then each member may buy
from the butcher a. what is estimated
as the cost of the animal, the expense
of butchering including the butcher
farmers time. When this is consumed
another animal is killed by different
member. By this rotation each mem
Der gets back what he paid for the
animal in tlp course of time and he
also has the advantage OF the associa-
TONS butchering scheme.
BY this method it is estimated that
each member saves from 10 to IL cents
a pound on his beef, the trust is slap

WHAT ABOUT PEARY?
rCouncil Bluffs Nonpareil.l


Prolonged quiet in the north pole
ment OF a Peary relief expedition from
st. Johns, Newfoundland. The eighty
eight -ton schooner Jennie left that
and the same amount of stores, which
she will land at Etah, Greenland, to
supplement the supplies on Peary's
steamer, the Roosevelt.
This expedition sets out not TO meet
an emergency of the moment, but in
keeping with the we'll laid plans of the
persistent and methodical Peary The
JEANNE goes forward at this time ex-
actly as was planned a little over a
year ago. The schooner will not re-
main long at Etah. If Commander
Peary is not there, the Jennie will
leave as soon as she discharges her
cargo, bringing home any dispatches
which Peary may have left.
If Peary, after either having found
the pole or given UP the quest, is on
his way back. he soon should be home.
1t is reckoned, however, that as the
Roosevelt. which took him to the
Arctic regions last summer, could not
force its way southwark thru the
floating channel above Cape Sabine
before July or August, and as he would
probably need coal to continue his yoy-
age home, he might be expected TO wait
for food at some convenient point, such
as Etah, until the arrival Of his relief
ship. On the other hand, assuming
the explorer to be dissatisfied with eff
forts thus far put forth, it is not likely
that he will move the Roosevelt from
the harbor in which he placed her a
year ago-one the coast of Grant
Land, if he has good luck-but return
by sledge to Etah in order to exchange
dispatches with the JEANNE. In either
event, it is expected we will have word
from the explorer by the middle of
September.
That word will be awaited with the
keenest interest. Peary has the SYM
|pathy and we'll wishes Of the American
people to greater extent than any
other who has tried to fnd the pole.
In this latter day his comparatively
slow and Flooding methods, instead of
losing to him popular interest in favor
Of the more spectacular expeditions
that OF Welman, for example-seem to
endOw him with a new measure OF
that interest. AS a reward for his dis
interested devotion to the problem, the
American people want to see Peary
first to the pole.

rock they wanted for roads free Of
charge, provided the authorities paid
the freight. It was q chance for an
experiment. to be made here in Ida
county by building mile or two of
permanent rock surfaced road, but
nothing was done. Postmaster Scott
offered to pay the freight on one car,
Thomas Northrup said he would pay
the freight on two cars and it would
nave been no trouble to have secured
volunteers who would have paid the
freight on twenty five cars or more Of
the crushed rock from the Anamosa
quarries, but nothing was done.
The great trouble about our good
roads movement in Ida county is the
fact that all our efforts are exerted for
temporary relief, and we have not yet
spent one cent for permanent roads or
permanent bridges.

Torrid Zone furnaces have the utmost
honor in all other countries east, west.
north and south.
For instance the largest jobber of
furnaces in the Canadian Northwest
years ago selected Lennox steel
furnaces for his use turnout that
northern climate because of their
powerful heating capacity from their
upright steel construction and indirect
radiators.
Again, big dealers in Cincinnati,
Plttsburg and Indianapolis are send
ing west to Marshalltown for Lennox
furnaces because of their gas tight
steel construction being so superior
to all cast iron sectional furnaces on
the market.
Then, turnout Kansas, Oklahoma
and Texas, residence and public build
ing heating is done very largely with
Lennox steel furnaces because of their
simplicity. Dealers can set them
readily, people can operate them as
easily as any kitchen range and they
are long lived and good heaters.
In Iowa, Nebraska, the Dakotas,
Minnesota, Illinois and Wisconsin
they are sold everywhere.
But it is out west that the Lennox
prophets are in greatest honor. For
years the biggest dealer in Denver
has sold Lennox furnaces. Now no
other furnace can exceed the Lennox
in Spokane, Tacoma, Seattle, Port
land or San Francisco while at Los
Angeles the dealer who does 90 per
cent of all the heating business in
that vicinity handles Lennox furnaces
and recently has secured the contract
for heating the million dollar Hunt

IennOx furnaces.
Not long ago the San Francisco dealer installed
Lennox furnaces in almost all of the ward school
buildings of San Jose, Cal and car loads of these
furnaces are going westward over the Great Divide
