1 LaFollette to make the new paper go
some.
| The proposed raise of salary for the
president and that of the vice president
and speaker will be approached with
! caution by members whose recollection
goes back to recall what generally
! happens to salary raisers. Raising sal
aries sometimes raises a ruction.
1t is entirely natural that the discov-
cry that the heating plant at the Ell
dora reform school should be delayed
until cold weather came, but a number
/ of inquisitive persons will inquire why
examination was not made last sum-
, mer.
! Any one who IS forced to be out
doors Tuesday night will understand
why forty-two escaped prisoners came
back to the oklahoma city Jail. There
were worse places than a city jail that
might. Poverty in the shacks can tell
a story that makes Jail look like q
palace.
Watch the heating apparatus. With
cold weather the news editor prepares
to write double column headlines over
fire reports.
Governor Folk in his message advises
new legislation regulating and re-
stricting the liquor traffic. There is
kind this winter in a number of states.
In Iowa the prospects are that a strin-
gent law would have an excellent
chance for passage.
The influx of younger men into the
senate is alarming the aged members
of that body. The boys are likely to
jump and play and roll the ball of
Legislation here and there in a bolster
Gus fashion, disturbing to old age and
senility And appearances are that
they will not mind when spoken to.
, 1t looks as tho the hog growers have
the situation in hand and can keep
the upper hand if they will refrain
from pushing everything weikhing 100
pounds upon the market. Iowa is
hanging on to her hogs and Iowa is
tile greatest source of the packers
supply, Fifty cent corn may be a pretty
good Investment in swine tlesh-unless
the terror of the hog grower, cholera,
wipes 1t out.
With northwestern Iowa land going
at $125 to s175 an acre, no wonder that
emigration flows toward the cheaper
lands. What would one of the dead
and gone pioneers calculate could he
come back and talk to an Iowa farmer
on land prices?
The Gilman Dispatch recently cele-
brated it's thirty -tfird anniversary. The
Dispatch is an excellent example Of
what push, ability and eternal watch
fulness can do towards making a cork
ing good paper for a small town
against hard competition. The elder
Darrah was the right kind of man
to develop all the resources of his ter
ritory and his son and successor is a
chip off the old block. Somewhat the
splendid farming country and excep-
tional citizenship of Gilman and its
contiguous territory has had to do with
the success of the Dispatch, but when
all has been said and done the per-
sonal factor and pains and labor CEN
tered upon this good little weekly must
receive the lions share of credit for its
success and general excellence.

lSinux City Trihunel


(Sioux City Tribune)
The Council Bluffs Nonpareil is
either very obtuse or badly frustrated.
1t asks if the connection in the pres
idents message, of mention Of Repre-
sentative Smith with the Stewart case
is "Coincident or WHAT" why the
Stewart case?" it asks. "Why not some
other case?" This indicates obtuse
ness. 1t is possible to have an object
so close to the eye that it cannot be
seen. Is the eye of the Nonpareil so
close to Congressman Smith that 1t
cannot see why the Stewart case was
selected? Is it case of propinquity
or of obliquity?
The French ask, "Who is the woman
in the case?" thinking woman the root
of all evil. Americans ask: What was
the motive? knowing that back Of ac-
tion is motive. So the president asked
what was Smiths motive in thus sud-
denly finding out that the use of the
men Of the secret service in detecting
frauds on the government was so bad
a thing that they should be limited to
chasing down counterfeiters. For years
the appropriations had read "and for
no other purpose" Why had not Smith
