The nat Problem.

Buffalo Commercial: The United
States department of agriculture In
recent publication upon THE Rat
Problem assures us that this rodent
destroys annually $100.000,0 900 worth
OF grain. This statement is SO
astounding that were it not vouched
for by experts In the biological sur
vey little credence would be given It.
These scientific men, however. have
made an exhaustive study OF the rat
and they are quite serious in urging
an active campaign to rid the country
Of this pest.
The most common and destructive
member OF the rodent family IS tbs
| Norway rat. which has been carried
lin ships to the further corners Of the
earth. and has multiplied wherever It
1 has landed. Rats live on most any
thing that man eats, but they are es-
4 pecially fond of grain. These rodents
i are also destructive In killing youns
4 poultry and stealing eggs, and the
pollution OF food products causes as
4 much loss as that which they consume.
4 Their fecundity is remarkable. 1t
is well, therefore, to call public at
4 tention to these facts as an incentive
to renewed warfare against the pests.
Among measures suggested for their
determination is the reduction OF their
food by the disposal Of garbage and
the better protection by use OF con
crete OF our food supplies.

Hurrah for Capt. Rathbun.

Clirton Herald: Capt Rathbun OF
the Marion Register, one of the old
school Republicans, and one Of the
staunchest men that ever lived, says
that an evening daily in asking who
are the true Republicans excludes SO
many that the "true" and good
would be in a hopeless minority in
the state when up against united
Democracy. If we mistake not i,
was the Herald that first raised the
question as to who were the "true
Republicans, following an assault by
Senator Aldrich upon Senators Bev
eridge. Dolliver and others. But we
did not exclude anybody, but declared
| that we were all Republicans, and the
! fact that we happened to disagree OF
some of the schedules, was not eyi
dence of treason. But what we wan
rest to say now is to repeat VIVA
tho Register says, and here it is:

The Devil a Monk.

Dubuque Times-Journal: Following
the lead of other Iowa cities, the Re-
tail Liquor Dealers association Of
Sioux City has had an ordinance pre-
pared making it misdemeanor for
drunkards or minors to enter sa-
loon.
The ordinance is the result largely
Of a movement on the part of liquor
dealers throughout the country to
make more respectable their business
and to remove much of the objection
of the Anti-Saloon leagues.
The ordinance, carrying a penalty
of 500 or thirty days in jail, makes
it a misdemeanor for any dr,nkard,
minor. intoxicated person or per-
son who has taken any of the So
called "cures for drunkenness to be
present in any room where intoxicat-
ing liquors are sold as beverage,

no officer, whatever his rank or sta
ton, must be under any obligation to
any public service corporation, any
contractor doing work for the city or
in any other manner be placed in 9
position where he might consider that
his duty demanded that he favored
any one. Neither must any city Off

any other city official or employe
politically, or attempt to control or In

or Indirectly. Heavy penalties are
prescribed for any violations of these

1t has been claimed for the commits
sion law-and the claim seems we'll
founded that it is a law which, par
excellence, safeguards the interests OF
the people; that it makes 1t practical
" impossible for officials to betray the
interests of their constituents, and
that it keeps the balance of power in
the hands of the people at all times.
The kind Of municipal government
made possible by such law is the
kind Of municipal government Keokuk

Navigating the Cedar.

Upton Advertiser: Major Meigs,
the army officer appointed to make
preliminary examination of the
Cedar and Iowa rivers and report
as to the possibility Of making them
navigable streams, is not enthusiasts
tic. He started up the Cedar in a
launch drawing less than two feet Of
water, and at time when there was a
good stage of water in the stream, but
was compelled to abandon his craft
and finish the trip to Cedar Rapids by
rail. If his report is adverse there will
be little disappointment, because the
natives Of the Cedar valley have long
known what the major has learned by
his trip. We never expect to see
steamboats, coming up the river, but
we do look for a time In the near fu-
ture when the splendid water power
along the stream will be developed.

rormentIno the Newlyweds.

Cedar Rapids Republican: We are
keeping up the jolly pasttime OF turn
ing marriages into jokes, carnivals OF
hilarious mirth and avalanches OF prac-
tical FRANKS Down in Washington,
Iowa. there was marriage the other
day that rather capped the climax. BY
hard scheming and hard work the bride
and groom got away from their pur-
suers, who we're supposed to be their
we'll wishers. They drove across the
country to a small station and took
train for Columbus Junction, where
they were to change cars. But the
crowd got ahead of them and fined a
coach on the same train. When the
newly-weds alighted at Columbus juno
ton they were met with suca recep-
tion that they were terrified, as well
as surprised. 1t was finally arranged
that as a peace offering the bride
groom should wheel the bride up and
down the main street of that town. A
wheelbarrow was obtained and the
bride got into it and was given the
ride. With that performance they were
released from durance vile and per
mitted to proceed on their way rejoic
ing.
This is called fun" It probably is
of a kind. Most of it is harmless, II
a way. These carnivals Of joy are no
restricted to any social class, but 'thel
are observed among the highest ant
the lowest, in social position. alike
But when 1t is carried SO far tina
brides are often terror stricken ant
are compelled to flee from their sup
posed friends like hunted beasts, thel
| the matter becomes something NOR
serious. There is certainly room TO
some reforms in our after wedding
ceremonies.

eat any old sort of duck that is killed
by Iowa hunters and believe that it Is

FAR MORE THAN THESE.


Gods lilies bloom in rare array,
For kings too fair
They toll, nor spin, yet day by day,
With fragrant hearts, they grow Away
In loveliness as lilies may,
Without care.
The Fathers birds at evenings fall
Are winging home
With eager flight, where nestlings
call
For food and brooding love, and all
They need, He gives no ills befall
Though night has come.
Unnoticed, still the sparrow dies,
Apart, alone.
But there, the Father, where he cries
Is bending low, and the love denies
No tenderness, until he lies
At rest Gods own.
