The LAW ON DRUNKEN MAYORS

Marengo is without a mayor this
morning unless the city council has
supplied the place of the chief exeou-
tive who has been removed by the
courts upon conviction of intoxication.
The test case is over SO FAR as the dis
trict court is concerned and the de-
cision is that a drunken mayor is no
more fit to remain in office than
drunken tramp is entitled to lie about
the streets. If the tramp desires to
get drunk he must go out of sight and
keep quiet. II the mayor wants to
get, drunk he must get out Of office, or
be extremely sly and successful in
concealing his crime. II he is caught
at it the decent citizenship Of the city
he represents has it's adequate remedy.
1t can dump him out Of Office as the
patrol wagon dumps the tramp out of
|sight.
Judge Preston made clear that the
Cosson law makes mandatory the re-
moval OF mayors who become intoxi-
Gated, whether in discharge OF official
duties when the offence occurs or out
with the boys. 1t has been usual or
customary to differentiate between the
| official as an official and the same Of
fetal when he had removed the robes
of office and started to disport him
self. He must stay sober or suffer the
consequences IL he is caught with the
goods on. There are number Of other
immoral and disgraceful things that he
can not do and hold Office under the
Cosson law.

IOWA, THE REAL IOWA,

The state fair opened yesterday at
Des Moines. 1t is a big thing, some
thing more than a fair and approach
Ing a national exposition. When the
variety and excellence of the exhibits
are considered how much more and
now much better could the nation do?
Aside from some special exhibits in
the arts and few other lines the Wis
itor to the Iowa state fair may see the
best of everything grown, raised or
made. Nowhere else may finer cattle
be found, fatter swine, heavier grain,
better butter. In the agricultural dis
play we beat the world.
And we are not to be despised in
the matter of made things. Iowa is
growing into a manufacturing state.
What we do make we make hest.
There is nothing wrong with our
educational display. When you have
gone over the educational exhibit you
will be satisfied that the average
Iowa school boy is being we'll trained
and fitted for his place as the future
1owan The work from city and coun-
try schools is evidence of progress at
tanned and the promise of much to be
attained. The schools are all right
with perhaps little fixing.
Altogether the exposition of Iowa's
resources and advancement at the
state fair may bring a self satisfied
and prideful smile TO the Iowan. Our
farms are all right, our manufactures
are growing and multiplying, our
schools are good, our horses win prizes
abroad as at home, our cattle are the
aristocrats of the fields, our hogs are
square and bulky, our merchants are
busy, prosperity Is in the saddle, alrs
right with Iowa.
And after looking over the exhibits
take time to see the people. That is
the real opportunity Of the fair. Hogs,
cattle, everything else is incidental.
The people are the real exhibit of
1owa's greatness What splendid peo-
pie crowd the pavilions and swarm
into the new steel grand stand that a
paternal legislature built for their
comfort and pleasure. Such solid farm
ers with sonsy smiling wives, broad
with motherhood and happy with the
day; such trim, pretty country girls
dressed with taste and in keeping
with the times. She Is not to be distin-
guished from her city sister, unless a
little line Of tan above her collar be-
trays her. Such intelligent, strong
faces among the young men. Such
strings of automobiles from city and
country. Such a jolly people, such a
happy, contented, intelligent, prosper
Gus. fearless people safe in the knowl-
edge of their own ability and the UNI
bounded opportunities Of their own
state.
That is where you see Iowa. Iowa is
the men and women, the youth and
children we see at the fair and all
over Iowa. She was the seed bed of a
planting winnowed from the best the
east and north afforded. She is now
the seed granary Of the mighty north
west. Iowa, the real Iowa, walks
about on two legs, not four

1IllmAN ON EDUCATION.

Senator Tillman is attractive. He is
remindful of Artemus Wards kangaroo
which was IAN amoosin' little cuss"
There appears to be nothing that he
will not say, little to which he will not
stoop in demagoguery in order to hold
the votes that make and remake him
His latest was offered to the red
Shirts" an organization of days i'm
recent reunion when he warned his
auditors against compulsory education.
1t is dangerous thing he assured
them. 1t might in time elevate the
negro to the status Of citizenship and
to paraphrase the senator, be the means
of Kidding South Carolina of the Till
mans and their like as representatives.
Senator Ti!lman was once upon a
time given somewhat grudgingly by the
north credit for being honest. But there
is nothing honest in the man who in
this day will deliberately counsel his
fellows against education as the best
and surest path away from the condi-
tons in which South Carolina is be-
set. Tillman's warning and his reasons
were pure demagogery fitted to the
audience he addressed and appealing to
prejudice and ignorance for a purpose.
His state is notorious for it's illiteracy.
1t is noted for little 1t is not keeping
pace with other states Of the union and
is falling behind other southern states.
His counsel is toward further degen-
Grafton, for the people that does not
advance degenerates. He is apparently
willing to trade the birthright of every
child born in the commonwealth for
mess of political pottage that at bes.
can not keep for more than a few
years. II northern senator were to
make statement of that kind before
any nothern audience he would be dead
| and buried politically before he left the
platform where it was made
To be sure We have no present negro
pi oplelii mere IN the north, and yet the
negro problem is not a matter Of state
| lines or districts. 1t is the problem of
the nation. And none but Tillman has
ventured to assert that the way to its
solution is by reversion Of the negro
to the ignorance and barbarism of
Africa. The semi-educated negro Of
the south is often a dangerous man by
reason of his influence over the total
ly rmeducated. The way to shear him
of his influence is to bring up the in
telligence and education of the black
masses to understand and confute the
glibness that now leads them astray.
Tillman can not stop progress. He
and his kind may delay it. 1t is not to
be stopped, however, it may be checked.
The negro and the poor white is
to learn to read and write and UNDER
stand. So has decided the real senti-
mert and the soul of the south. Till
man does not represent the south He
is no more representative Of the real
south than any carpetbagger who ex-
plotted a conquered country to his own
profit. Tillman is doing for lease of
political power precisely what the car
petbagger did for graft

A BwNEF1cENr INVENTION.

L
The agricultural editor never sees a
modern thrasher at work but that he
takes off his hat to It, The modern
thrashing machine ds provided with a
long iron straw carrier that looks like
a giraffe's neck. A professor stands
by the machine and swings the carrier
around in half circle and the straw
belches out at great rate, making a
stack shaped like bone plate. There
is no need of a boy at the tail" Of the
machine, as there used to be, The agri-
cultural editor has lively recollections
Of standing there all day and swallow
ing all the dust that came up and get
ting plastered with dirt and chaff while
he pitched and sweat. Penal servitude
in the galleys has many advantages
over buoking straw from a thrasher,
and so we say hooray for the fellow
who invented the IRON throated, swing
ing stacker.

GIRLS OF FOURTEEN.


[Ottumwa Review1
We often wonder what sort OF a
young woman can come from the
who in common with her older sisters
can claim her beau among the youths
Of one and two or possibly three years
older than herself.
Ottumwa has an army of young girls
Of fourteen and in certain districts,
notably among the working people it
must be admitted, a considerable part
Of this girlhood have their special male
escorts to and from places of amuse-
ment and the attentions are lavished
and received with about the same as
siduity as tho the couples were in
their twenties. And this would not be
so remarkable, or so reprehensible,
perhaps, If these slips of lads and
lasses We're not permitted to begin at
such an early age In disregarding the
hours and holding the parents reproof
in disrespect. And sometimes, we fear,
parents are willing or indifferent as to
the whereabouts and the company kept
by these very young boys and girls.
Frequently at the police court this
knowledge that fourteen years of age
finds sexes mating off on the steady
plan becomes record and shows up the
conditions, the environs, the laxity Of
a strictly healthful code of ethics for
these youngsters who are yet in eighth
grade and have no business to pair off
and seek this ompanionship at any
time, day or evening. Yet every night
during the summer months these chill
dren of foolish, ignorant, or criminal
parents may be seen with arms en-
twined around each other as they I'M
concernedly walk down our principal
streets or seek the seclusion of church
steps, shaded walks, retreats where I'M
molested and unseen they may indulge
in their calf loves.
How much danger attends such sit
uations and how wicked it is on the
part Of a parent to permit this disgres-
sion from the duties of school and
home teachings at such an early age,
when the nature is exceedingly plastic,
every adult of practical knowledge
knows or should know full we'll.
The incorrigible girl is usually the
result of such latitude and freedom as
permits associations to which her years
do not entitle her to possess.
Every mother in Ottunwa with a
daughter approaching or entering the
teens will fall short of her duty unless
she exercises jealous care over her girl.
