WHISKY PEDDLERs.
ISioux city Journal.1


The restoration of this clause Of the
prohibitory law breaks up one system
by which intoxicants have been easily
procured in dry" counties. Scores of
local agents and travelling solicitors
will be made jobbless in Iowa by this
ruling The thirsty ones. however. can
still mail their orders to the mail Or
der houses in a neighboring state. and
there can be no interference with the
delivery of goods ordered in this way.
The federal supreme court decision in
the South Dakota case again expressly
upholds this Interpretation of the in
'terstate commerce clause. The house
judiciary committee is now proposing
a federal law requiring the marking
of all liquor packages shipped in in
terstate commerce, forbidding the de-
livery of such packages except to per-
sons who have ordered them, and pro-
hibiting G. o. D. shipments. The
judiciary committee is convinced this
is as far as can be gone under the
constitution in regulating liquor ship
ments from "wet" to dry" states. re
the temperance people will accept The
proposed legislation they will come
closer to accomplishing what they
want to accomplish than by holding
out for the complete suppression Of
interstate traffic in liquors, which still
remains a legal impossibility.

THE ALLISON FUND.

Not a voice has been raised in all
Iowa against the action of the general
assembly in appropriating $4,000 for q
memorial to Senator Allison. This
amount of money. by the way, is not
intended to complete the work, but to
pay for the pedestal upon which the
statue to be located on the capitol
grounds at Des Moines is to stand.
How much the total cost will be no
one at this time knows. That will de-
pend on the generosity of the sub
scribers to the fund which is to be SCI
cured by popular donations. The statue
will cost three and one-half times as
much as the pedestal. Under the pro-
visions of the law the appropriation for
the pedestal is 80 per cent of the entire
expense. the site being already owned
by the state.
1t looks as if the character Of the
memorial had been fixed that it is to
be the traditional shaft of granite. Tho
amount of money involved would per-
manently endow a professorship ut
Iowa City or >Ames; it would do many
other things more practical. tho per-
haps less sentimental. In this move
ment, as in all others, the wishes IF
the majority should be carried out and
while having a view of its own. the
Democrat indorses most cordially any
decision made by those intrusted with
the authority.

MAKING AND ENFORCING LAWS.

! The advocates Of stringent law
against the white slave" traffic ir
Iowa should turn their energies to-
ward securing some effective plan OF
law enforcement like that offered by
Mr. Byers, the attorney general of the
state. for without it, their laws will
fail of effectiveness. The white slave
traflic is twin to the liquor, gaming
and other criminal or quasi-criminal
interests. There is money in it, and
a large class OF men exist and pros

THAT BUREAU OF MINES.

The mine workers are insisting that
congress make good the paragraph in
the republican platform which declared
for the establishment of a bureau of
mines and mining. TO the farmer OF
the middle west who is located away
from the mining districts this appeal
will fail in force simply because it is
outside the circle OF his observation
and activities. To the mining interests
and miners it is, however. quite as
pressing as the matter of livestock
rates on railways Is to the farmer
Those who have visited the greater
expositions have invariably been deep
~ impressed by the display of the
mining industries. If we were to visit
complete exhibit of the mining in
dustries even of our own state most of
US would be greatly surprised and
hugely delighted to realize the extent
and value of the mines in this strictly
agricultural state of ours. Could we
see the vast army of men who earn
millions in Iowa mines every year by
the sweat of their toll, we should have
a lasting impression of the immense
value of, our mines and the number
OF men who find living therein. And
Iowa is not state of diversified min
ing or of very extensive mines.
The conclusion is that the miners

evident by the increasing death rate
in the mines makes protection and In

Booze and the VILLAGES.

Editor T.-R: Sometimes mental inn
pressions are SO forcible that the re-
lating Of them becomes almost spon-
taneous. The writer has had a dream
since the last issue of that world re-
nowned Union Star. This dream is the
mental impression of which 1 am go
ing to relate I dreamed that not 100
miles from here lives a man who re-
minds one of the sir knight of old. A
wonderful brain has this sir knight.
He hears while boldly conversing with
a peaceful fellow citizen that two Of
their citizens obtained their deadly
amber fluid at Liscomb, Iowa.
Now, after hearing this horrifying bit
of information, this sir knight makes
a resolution deep down in the soles
of his shoes, and, going boldly to his
office, cloaked in his arnor of right
eous Indignation, awakens the sleep
ing sentry in the following manner:
awake, We idle creature! Bring
forth unto me my quill and dark COL
ored fluid that 1 may proclaim unto the
nation that the flower of our American
citizenship is buying liquor at Lis
comb, Iowa."
The quill and fluid are straightway
produced and the sir knight proceeds
to paint large red circles all around
the poor sister village. Faster flies
the pen, welded by this master hand
until the sparks of righteous indigna-
ton fly from it at every stroke. But of
a sudden this flower of modern chiv-
airy hesitates in his heroic effort of re-
vealing to the public the source of the
deplorable conditions of his home
town.
Methinks the though comes to him:
"How is it that Liscomb liquor maketh

A VOICE or WARNING.

A Sioux City minister speaking to
a mothers club in that city voiced q
warning that should be needed. His
subject was knowledge During the
Years From Twelve to Nineteen" and
he gave psychological analysis Of this
period, which includes, he said, the
closing three-eighths of childhood and
the first half of the adolescent period.
The period of childhood was character
lied as one in which the child is learn
ing the use Of his machine, the body.
In outlining the proper development
Of these two periods, he emphasized
the Importance of manual training in
the school life, and strongly urged its
value in all the grades as an infiu-
ence to counterfeit the over nervous
activity induced by the studies. He
decried the term of examinations as
Injurious to the nervous child. His
apparent argument is that the nervous
and mental organizations Of school
children are overworked, while the
physical is underworked.
The conclusion is coming to school
superintendent as it has long ago to
parents that the schools are forcing
too much and too fast SO far as the
grades are. concerned the average child
can keep up the work. especially as the
girls in the lower grades romp and
play as smaller children do. In the
high school, however, things are diff
ferent. The girls lack the vigorous
exercise they took as children and the
tasks seem to be graduated to the
brightest rather than the duller or
average capacities.
Almost every parent complains, es-
pecially if he is the parent of girls.
1t is common to see them worn and
nervous and sick overtheir tasks for the
girls are the weaker as well as the
more conscientious over their work.
This is the case not only with those
to whom knowledge and learning
come slowly and with painful toll, but
among those accredited by their teach
ers with especial ability and bright
ness And the conclusion is newt
able that too much is attempting to be
accomplished.
The fault seems to lie with the teach
ers In the high schools each is
specialist with a speciality, and each
is crowding that special course for all
it is worth, largely it would appear,
without complete general knowledge of
the amount of work assigned by an
other The accumulated tasks heaped
on the nervous intelligence of a girl
at the most important and serious
physical period of her life are some
times sufficient to alright men who
have grown old in hard mental work
The demand is insistent. The time
when the work is to be finished specf-
fed And the children work and strain
to meet the enormous demand upon
mental and physical organizations in a
formative period. We do not hitch

should we yoke the children to loads

Topics of the Times,

Before the Iowa state library COM
mission was created in 1900 there We're
only forty-one free public Libraries in
the state, while the activity of the
commission has resulted in 102 such
Libraries at work today. Beside this,
umes at work in its travelling libraries
with over 600 centers at which the
commissions books are being used. So
great is the demand for more service
in the travelling libraries that an adj
ditional appropriation is needed to
handle TIE books.

the Times Republican visits daily th4
farm homes of over half a million hens
besides calling on the town owners of

That almost every man asked to sign

GALLAGHER OUT ON BOND.

Pending the appeal of the case,
Edward Gallagher who on yesterday
afternoon was found guilty of selling
liquors in violation of the anti-saloon
provisions OF the city charter and
was sentenced to 90 days i'm jail, is
out under n bond of $500. The case
will go to the county court.
Attorney Wheeler, for the defense,
yesterday demanded the return of the
liquor taken from Gallagher's resi-
dcnce and after City Attorney Buck
lin had secured an order from the
mayor providing for the destruction
of the liquor Attorney Wheeler de-
clared that II the liquor is destroyed
steps will be taken at once to recover
damages for the same.
The cases of Art johnson and I'D.
