TO THO READERS OF
THE WORLDS CRESSET.'

! / wish TO inform you that
have been a reader of this paper
for over fifteen years. And
hav watched the agreements
between the the Editor of the
"CREsSET,' and every ohe who
tried to produce any arguments
against him whatever.
Every one Of them wauldjump
In, just like AS though they had
soft snap But they would find
out that the soft place were in
their own heads. Then they
won d jump back. and spit ont u
little mud. and in a madtit quit.
But the most surprising and
foolish argument, or thing. that
| have rrau was from the Editor
,of the Mansfield Press: as re.
corded In the CREssET Of March
17'h We cant help but say poor
fellow: how had he wanted to
tramp the toes of the Editor of
the CIEssET. And his judgement
is so shallow. that he did mt Know
enough to keep oft the toes Of
the readers of the CEEsSET. ii
they would have no more idd.o
ment than the ign rant Ed. Of
the Min.ti.ld Press then they
won't be worth looking after.
How foolish how simpl and how
0osurd it is for an Editor TO say
that's fifty cent paper cam be-
worth fifty ccnts (5orts) just as
we'll as a one dollar (Sl.0W paper
j. worth one dollar ($l 900 The

say that they are good papers,
and are worth Just as much as

deal more t. people who read

dunn are all steps 10 that end. Any
thing that will make machine rule
more difficult and popular rule more
simple is for the general good.
Most of the problems of popular gov
eminent are still to be worked out.
No one can forsee the exact trend
which popular government will take.
There are several influences at work,
however, which show in a measure the
tendency of the times. 1t is not likely
that the government of the United
States will develop a paternalism
which some other countries call gov
eminent by the people. There is too
much individualism about the Amer
lean people for that. While the Cana
dian farmers have been actively cam
paigning for government ownership of
elevators. the farmers of the United
States have solved the grain trust
problem through cooperation. While
the agitation for the postal savings
bank has been sweeping over the coun-
manded that the government go into
the banking business. He Is not averSe
to the idea of 4 safe depository where
the laborers of the cities can deposit
their savings. He admits that postal

wild in his nature since a small boy.
Morrell is now held under a 15-days
suspended sentence. The girls rela-
tives have likewise been written to,
but no response has been received.
The girl evidently does not desire her
age to be known as she is very reti-
cent about this. Her sister, who is
married and living in Indiana, has
also been written to and until she is
heard from, no disposition will be
made of the girl.
Larsen Thought Insane.-Sinee his
arrest in the city several days ago for
having taken free auto rides both here
and in Eldridge and for having paid
for the conveyances with forged
checks, it has developed that Oscar
Larsen is possessed of a record as an
insane asylum inmate. He was at one
time confined in the Mendoza, Wis,
institution for the insane from which
place he escaped two times. After get
ting out he is alleged to have done
many queer things in the purchasing
line, such as buying at one time three
carloads of horses without having any
means to pay for them and other sim
liar stunts At other places he has Sc
cured autos for a ride and then paid
for them with bogus money. County
Attorney Fred Vollmer wrote to the
Mendoza institution a few days ago
making inquiry whether or not they
wanted Larsen returned to the mfr
mary but to the present time, no an
swer has been received. Larsen has
been bound over to await the action of
the September grand jury on charge
of larceny. The matter is again to
be taken up with a view of having
him returned to the Mendoza asylum.

ence- The truth is it can thrive on the
same treatment that is melted out to
the rest of the citizens of the United
States.
Fair legislation will not hurt bust
ness. 1t may hurt some OF the over
fattened parasites who hide behind
the shelter of business and raise the
cry of panic every time a reform is
proposed. If IT does. so much the bet
ter. The world can do without them
very well. The city harbors too many
people whose right to live is not based
upon anything they have ever done for
society. 1t is to the country statesman,
with views unbiased by the i1texica-
ton of luxurious living, that we must
look for the initiation OF this great re-

not be satisfied with the shadow of re-
form. His natural conservatism Will
prevent radical steps that defeat the
purpose of reform. Under his guild
ance the details Of popular govern
ment will be worked out to a success

cial interests must end. Real repre-

place. The short ballot. the direct pri-

tive bank. It supplies his needs, and
he has great faith in the future Of CO.
operative banking.
The farmer wants a parcels post, but
he does not advocate government own
ership of express companies. The kind
of parcels post he wants is one that
will enable him to get goods from
town over the rural route at a low
rate, with higher rate for goods from
another town. For the general bust
ness he is satisfied with the express
companies-not as they are run at
present, perhaps, but as he believes
they can be made to operate with effi-
cient regulation.
The American farmer is not demand
ing the government ownership of rail-
roads. He prefers to control our pres
ent railroads more effectively. Then,
too, he can build electric lines of his
own If it becomes necessary. He does
not ask that the government dissolve
the beef trust by the process Of assim-
ilation. Instead he is talking Of CO.
operative packing houses.
The tendency of the farming popu-
lation of America IS to favor co-opera-
tion rather than government owner

DAVENPORT

Sisters Meet After "a Years.-The
elimination of an almost quarter of
century separation and the same per-
iod of almost ceaseless searching and
inquiry two sisters, one for the other,
was brought about in this city Mon
day through the local postoffice. The
sisters are Mrs. Annie Vannier of In
dianapolis, Ind, and Mrs. Ernest
Schluenz of this city. In 1886 two i'm
migrant girls landed in New York In
the hustle and confusion of the dis
embarking of the cargo and passen-
gers the sisters became separated.
Both found work and both attained a
considerable degree of prosperity. One
of the sisters arrived at Davenport At
ter joining Mr. Felger, her uncle, in
later years she became Mrs. Ernest
SchluenZ. The other sister lived in
different cities in the east and finally
moved to Indianapolis. She became
married also and became Mrs. Vannier.
For almost % years the sisters
heard faint stories of the whereabouts
of one another. But nothing definite
Finally Mrs. Vannier> found a clue
that indicated her long lost sister
was in Davenport. On Wednesday
of last week she came to this city.
On inquiring OF the police she again
met with failure. She then tried the
postoffice and through the aid of the
addresses there on file she found the
whereabouts of her sister and her
uncle, Jacob Felger, this city. Mon
day of this week a celebration was
held at the Felger home in this city
In honor of the reunion.
RunaWays Refused by Relatives
Two homeless children, yet with
each having a home from which they
ran away but a few weeks ago, are
now under the kind protection of Mat

tention and the youth at the county
Jail Both the youthful wanderers,
Roy Morrell and Pearl Gardner. who
hailed from Morris, ILL.,, are without
a place to go, as the father of the
young man has refused to take the
matter up with the local authorities
and the girls relatives have not an
swered the several letters which have
been written to them. Until word is
heard from them, both win be held
here and in the event neither fanny
takes the initiative in caring for the
children, official steps will be taken |
that will place them in the proper
homes provided by law. The answer
of the youths father, who resides in
Morris, H., came to the local authori- |
ties yesterday and in it was a state

avenue, was severely injured when his
right hand became engaged in the
mechanism and was crushed to such
an extent that the amputation of two
fingers was necessary. The man was
hurried to the city hospital following
the operation. He will be confined
about two weeks from the loss of
blood and weakness accompanying the
accident.
Moline Fair Day Abandoned.-There
will be no merchants day at the Joslin
fair this year. Arrangements for the
county outing at the Joslin fair grounds
Sept. ID to Is have been completed.
Many from Moline will doubtless at
tend during the three days, but there
is no provision for special train from
the twin-cities. Failure to provide ad-
eQuate transportation facilities between
the depot at Joslin and the fair grounds
is given as cause by Moline boosters
for disseminating the plan of closing
stores here and putting in one booster
day at the fair. The fair will open
Tuesday, the 18th, and the day will be
devoted largely to getting started.
Entries in the various exhibits for
prizes will be made and the big day
will come Wednesday, the 14th. This
will be largely because the closing day
of the fair, Thursday, the 18th, is pri-
mary day.

MEXICAN WOMAN
 SUICIDES IN HUMBOLDT
GFrom Fridays Daily.)

/ GFrom Fridays Daily.)
 Tired of life, due to a disappOint- ment in love, Manuela Luseio, known As "Mexiean Nell.' shielded yester- day afternoon at o'clock, in her partments in Humboldt. She ended her earthly career with a revolver, the bullet entering her neck, death being almost instantaneous. She held the weapon so close that her clothes caught on fire, her bodice being abIaze when she was found, a few moments after she fired the fatal shot. A coroner's jury was summoned by Justice of the Peace George H. Fran eis, a verdict of death by suicide being returned.
 The unfortunate woman was an habitue of the Redlight district. That she contemplated her rash act is attested by many witnesses. Early yesterday morning she eonfided to a IcW OI ucI IIlenuS ludJ sHc luIcuOcu to end her life, giving as a reason that her lover had deserted her for another. She was mOrose during the day and soon after retiring to her room in the rear of one of the sa- looms a shot was heard. Several men rushed to the apartment and she was found lying on the bed in her last agonies, with her clothes on fire. The fire was extinguished and a pbysic- ian summoned. She expired in a few minutes.
 She leaves no relatives surviving in Humboldt, but it is believed that members of her family reside in Con gress. Her remains were taken in charge by the Lester Ruffner under taking establishment. The funeral will be held today, interment being in the Humboldt cemetery.

RECORD AUTO RUN MADE.
CFrom Fridays Daily)


 John Massing and his Ford auto are fast putting space into the background, and yesterday he accom- plishsd a remarkable feat in running from Prescott ot Camp Wood and return, making the entire distance of 92 miles in a little over six hours. Over three and one-half miles of this trip was up the steep grade of the Camp Wood range, which averages 15 per cent, while at several places it is on a 9 per cent basis. The task was considered an impossible one, and Mrs. L. L. Harmon, who were re- turning to their range headquarters for the winter. On the return trip, with MT. Harmon aboard, the record run was established after Simmons was reached, twenty-five miles from this city. The distance was GOV cred in one hour flat, MT. Harmon holding the time piece. This lowers the running time of one hour and five minutes, made by Dr. Looney a few days ago. Considering the con dition of the roads since the neavy summer storms, this gait is regarded as exceptional. MT. Ma.sing left at 1 o'clock for the Verde Valley, with E. s. Clark and R. E. Morrison as passengers, who go to address the people of that section on the State hood issue.
