For many centuries owls have been
objects of superstition on the part of
the unthinking. The feeling exists to-
day, and to some extent is responsible
for the killing of these beneficial
birds every time they are bold enough
to show themselves in daylight.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Glidden Graphic is PLEASED to
note that the Iowa senators are lined
up on the same side of the question.
Whatever stigma may be attached to
their position by the eastern people
will be shared by each. This is for
tunate. If but one of them had taken
this liberal view it would surely have
brought to the other the reproachful
censure of many Iowa republicans. In
stead of a fair discussion of his posi-
ton he would have been dismissed as
a democrat This attitude will pre-
vent an outbreak of old partisan and
factional contention in the state and
instead we shall have at least sanity of
discussion if not peace"
