NEW SERIAL STORY.

A new serial "The Lions Share.
starts today in the Times Republican.
1t is first of all an excellent piece OF
fiction, clean, interesting and full OF
stirring incident and dramatism; and
it will be not less well received for the
reason that it is by a gifted Iowa au-
thor and resident of Davenport whose
pen name OCTAVE Thanet' has made
her known on more than one contin-
emit
The story is somewhat different than
Miss French has ever before written
1t is also one Of her best stories. The
action is rapid, the interest fully sus-
tanned and its readers will be looking
forward to the, next chapters quite as
eagerly as they have done for those of
any other story published in serial
form. Altogether it is one of the best
and most cha,ning little stories ever
offered to newspaper readers.

The observations complained of by The
Republican might have been entirely
headed off had the press been informed
of Mr.. Cousins indisposition.
1t will be good to see Bob Cousins
al work along the lines suggested as
his purpose, on the platform and in
the legal profession. He is the chau-
tauqua orator par excellence, eloquent,
will make good on the platform. AS
a trial lawyer before juries he can not
fail---if he works. There is no reason
why Robert 6. Cousins should not
string again the forces grown haccd
by inaction and take the preeminence
to which his marvellous oratorical abl-
ity entities him--if he works. But if
he is to do any or all of this he must
toll for toll is the essence of intellec-
tual and physical excellence and en-
durance.
The fact is there is no actual ten
dency to stone Bob Cousins; on the
contrary there is a tendency quite the
opposite, desire to see Mr.. Cousins
recover all the ground he has lost.
There is no desire to see him in con-
gress again; he has had q chance as
great as any man in the political life
of the United States to rise high IN
political usefulness and it is not like
Nv that he will be given another. But
everyone wishes that Bob Cousins may
do well for himself and every one
knows he may and car-n he works |

MAKE Them AFRAID.

1t appears from press dispatches that
in some parts of Iowa the patent med
icine distributor still goes on his re1k-
less and poison strewn path. A report
from Des ,Moines tells of a narrow
escape of number OF children who
had gathered handfuls OF headache
powders and were about t. sample the
supposed candy" There was enoua h
poison in the accumulated treasure to
have kept half dozen undertakers
busy for day.
If there is any single violator of law
who deserves the limit of the penalty
Of his infraction of the statutes the
men who procure the distribution Of
dangerous drugs broadcast among the
residences of cities and towns should
deserts. 1t has been the custom of
patent medicine houses and the daa,ers
who handle them to SOW tho door steps
with headache tablets and various
nostrums that mean death if taken in
sufficient quantities. Any active child
could gather its quota in five minutes
off the door steps and out OF the letter
boxes ,ofya 5neighboriooG. The last as
seTably dealt with the matter and put
1t in the power of officials to make
poison vendors who make poison sta
tions of every home IN the reach Of
their distributors afraid; and to nuke
them afraid is the onlv way to control
men who are willing to take = chancs
of lnanslaughter in order to increase
their sales and, their profits.

constables of the state watch and wait

THE wANpEgER,s RETURN.

10 Iewa IS to gain a new resident in the
person of Congressman ]. A. T. Hull Of
the aSeventh Iowa district who has an
nounced his intention to move back to
Des Moines and live ostensibly at least
i'm the district he represents. The nat
ural conclusion is that the congress
mans narrow squeak in the last cleo
ton when Frank Prouty came near to
mis- undpings has awakened all the lat
ept aqya;ifer ahis old home that had
beeW chilled in the atmosphere of
IN ashington in which the tender plant
Of old association dwarfs and attains
growth in lesser degree as years roll
on and constituents remain careless.
So MIR. Hull is coming back humming
Down on the Des Moines river dars
where the old folks stay
Now this is pleasant and as it should
be. 1t should please Des Moines beyond
measure; the butcher, baker and all
the hurrying trade and commerce Of
the capital city will get their little hack
at that $500 a year and be happy.
Surely for a congressman to spend
all his salary out of the district is as
tho merchandizer's own clerk dealt
wholly with the catalog houses. Then
too it will be natural center whence
to observe and study the system which
shall make Iowa rivers navigable from
stem to gudgeon. If we are to become a
maritime people 1t will require careful
and the general manager
of navigation should be in the center
looking seven ways for sailors 1t is
best the captain should come back to
US in the old fashion that we knew,
best for Des Moines and best for the
captain. 1t is we'll to move back where
he used to be so happy and SO poor
right now. Two years hence there might
be little to move back for and nothing
to- move back to.
Bring out the new robe, run for the
ring, race toward the COW barn with a
cleaver! Captain Hull is coming back.

SALOONS IN DUBUQUE.

On and after Jan. L, 1909, the sa-
looms CT Dubuque will be operated in
strict compliance with the mulct law.
They have lacked nothing Of this for
some months past except that the pc
titions of consent and official action
thereon have been wanting. The liquor
dealers are still liable to prosecution
for the offenses Of the past, but no
prosecution is suggested or is ex-
pected.
In consequence Of the new order Of
things, and because the city now pro-
poses to collect license fee of $120
year, the number of saloons in the
city has been reduced to eighty
Dubuque had 210 saloons under pro-
hibition when the city collected a
license fee of SIS to 500 a year. I'm
der the. mulct law the number gradu
ally fell to 1874. Ten o'clock and Sun
day closing inaugurated some time ago.
cut this to about 100. The removal Of
screens and the imposition of a city
license fee are responsible for the lat
est reduction The saloons occupying
the most prominent locations have suf-
fereds most from the removal of
screens. 1t is possible that further
reduction in the number of saloons
will occur the coming year. We now
have more in proportion to population
than Des Moines, where the prohibition
against lunches, screens, ETC., has al
ways been observed.
1t is promised that with the saloons
under the mulct law attention will be
turned to the clubs operating outside
of it. One object is to protect the sa-
looms operating under the mulct law
against unlicensed competition. AM
other is to prevent drinking In resorts
after 10 p. m. This latest object will
be difficult to accomplish, since liquor
purchased and delivered before 10 p.
IN. may be consumed later. 1t is said
that clubs maintained for drinking pur-
poses only or mainly are short lived
unless strong enough to keep men in
charge. Most of the clubs established
in Dubuque when the 10 o'clock order
went into effect are said to be anguish
ing because men soon tire of climbing
up two flights of stairs and drinking
alone

THE GREATEST NEED.

4 NbuI IIlStou I1dWkeyeD
| The commission. which has been APP
pointed for that purpose and which has
been accommodating bales of informa-
| ton. may be in doubt as to what is
the greatest need of the rural commu-
nifty. But there are people in Iowa,
and their number is increasing rapid
ly. who have come to the conclusion
that 1T Is good roads The farmer
lis no longer isolated when he has
good road over which he can reach
neighbors as fast as a horse or an auto
can carry him. He is able to take adj
vantage of the most favorable mar
kets. when he gets ready to sell, pro-
vided that he can get his produce to
market when the best demand is re-
ported.
For many years Iowa has been de-
batting good roads. Quite of late she
has taken to building good roads. The
price is objected to in some localities.
and yet the permanent street or road
that is butt right, is built for many
years. and if the original cost and the
cost of maintenance be spread over a
number of years. the outlay is very
light as compared with the benefits.
The reason why the educational cam
palgn is bringing results, is plain to be
seen. The educators helped. But they
might have talked on and on for a
quarter Of a century, if there had been
no marked increase in the value of
Iowa land. 1t is one thing to talk Of
building permanent roads where the
land is worth from $25 to $40 per acre
and it is quite another proposition to
talk Of permanent roads, where land
is selling at from 500 per acre up
ward. THESES land can not afford what
the $3.50 per acre land must have. The
man who owns high priced land must
be able to get to market when the
markets needs his products, and he
must help to build his roads.
He is usually man Of no small bus
mess ability and hence he realizes
much better than does the good roads
agitator that the need of the country,
SO far as Iowa is concerned. is good
roads

plains of a tendency to heave stones at
Congressman Bob Cousins and says in
effect that Mr.. Cousins can make more
money out Of congress than he could
hope to do in. There isn't much doubt
that the Republican is right in both
assertions. Mr. Cousins is the pos
SCISSOR of extraordinary platform talent
and there is a tendency observable in
the press to touch him up on account
of his apparent lack OF interest in con-

What can the legislature do when

mand for the elimination of the COM

self is very much a creature of circum-
stances. Each member is asked to get
places for some of the home folks and
the daily papers at the capital have re-
porters that just must be taken care
of. How is the poor legislator just in
from the verdant fields going to turn
all these down."

That several of the remaining pro-
