Fable Of the Mice.

The Town Mouse and the Country

Pretty good!" the Country Mouse
admitted. But say, you come out to

the greater possibilities.-Puck.

PROTECTING PUBLIC OFFICIALS


One lesson of the shooting OF
Mayor Gaynor of New York by q
discharged dock employe, is that
there should be special legal pro-
lection for important public off,
cials. Under the laws of most
states if the victim of such an as
sassination recovered, the assailant
would get out of Jail after a mod
crate term of years, ready to shoot
down some other public servant
against whom he might conceive a
grudge.
1t is difficult at best to get high
minded men to take public office,
and they should be protected by the
most drastic laws against assassin
alton. To attempt the life of a
president, a governor, or mayor OF
an important city, affects public
order more than a successful mur-
der of the ordinary citizen. What
ever punishment is just for murde.
in the first degree of the private
citizen, is just for the man who
shoots down great public servant,
even If the attack be not fatal.
Every such assassination stirs the
evil hearts of host of men of
anarchistic tendencies, and similar
shootings of public officials are en-
couraged.

LOSES ITS FIRST GAME.
Ball Team Gets First Defeat by
Caledonia Monday, at Canton.
WINS AGAIN FROM CALMAR
Record of Winning Every Game
Finally Broken by Caledonia
in Close Came in Mud at
Canton; Score 6 to 5.

There were big doings in the base
ball world the past week. We pre-
dicted that Decorah would win her
share of the games played, and she
did. Wednesday. West Union was
feated in easy fashion, II to z. The
visitors at one time had lead of
5 to 1, but after the locals got to
going there was nothing to it. The
game was conspicuous for the num-
ber of errors made.
On Friday, one of the. most thrill
ling, nerve-trying games ever play
ed at the fair grounds was pulled
of. Sam Collins crew from CAL
mar furnished the necessary oppo-
sition, and the largest crowd of the
year was on hand to see the fun.
And such a game as it was! Calmar
had strengthened her lineup by
adding Gregg, Postville's premier
pitcher, and O'Boy. of Castalia.
Decorah's lineup was the same as
usual, except Knowlton occupied
third instead of Shea who went into
center field. 1t is useless to de-
scribe the game play for play. From
the start Calmar assumed the ag-
gressive, scoring two runs in the
first and one in the second. De-
corah failed to count until the
fourth, when four runs came in.
That helped some. Calmar, how
ever, came back with a lucky one
in the sixth. McNeal had three
strikes called on him but Tommy"
missed the third, the ball went into
the crowd and McNeal was made a
present of 1st. Green let Gregg's
single go past him and McNeal
scored. To seemingly cap the cli-
max, the &C. C.'s'' pounded in four
runs in the seventh, and it sure
iookel like "Calmar's day" But
nix. Bidne walloped a home run
to start the seventh for Decorah.
IluStNSut HlSu 10 Dtlly. huOWllOu
was hit by a pitched ball, stole
second, and counted when Stutz
dropped Bernatz's drive to right.
In the eighth the locals tied it up on
Reque's single, Bidne's double and
two bad throws by O'Boy. Bidne
in the meantime was pitching great
ball and was finally being supported
in the fashion that our boys are
capable of. Gregg, too, was pitch
ing some, and the game went mer-
rily on into the eleventh inning.
In that session, with two out, Preus
connected for his third single, adj
vanced to third when Marion erred,
and it then only remained for Stutz
to drop Reque's fly and we had the
winning tally.
In one way it was lucky victory
for Decorah, but both teams are
capable of playing better ball, even
if they couldn't have made it more

that on this occasion its capacity
will be taxed.
For the first time in many years
the coal output of Iowa will fall off
according to the forthcoming bien-
nial report of the state mine COM
mission. Because of the two
months strike last spring it is stat
ed the total tonnage Of coal mined
in Iowa will fall off about a quar-
ter of million tons.
1t is reported that an effort will
be made during the coming session
of the Iowa legislature to have
passed here a law similar to the
one recently enacted in New York
state which provides protection to
depositors in private banks, by re-
quiring private bankers to deposit
securities with the auditor of state
proportionate with the amount of
eposits he receives.

! 1t carries penalty of 81, making
81 in all and so keeps on rising at
a degree that encourages prompt
payment.
Good roads promises to be one of
the chief agitations among legisla-
tors this coming winter. Some de-
msnd to spend the hunters license
fund for improvement of roads has
created much discussion. Sports
men are objecting to this. 1t is
pointed out by some that inasmuch
as all the hunting must be done on
the property of farmers there should
be no objection to using the fund
to help these farmers build good
roads to the property and hunting
grounds.

Tile enormous sum of $280,OO0.0 600
within the Borough of Manhattan,
that it is hardly possible that any
other point in the world could. af-
ford the expenditure of such a
sum. / believe anyone coming to
New York should take advantage
of seeing this great piece of en-
cheering.
Saturday and Sunday I spent at
Far ROckaway, seashore resort
within an hours ride of New York,
and 1t was indeed a sight to see
the thousands of men, women and
children enjoying the sea bath, and
1 personally was one of the many
to battle with the waves. The
breakers are very high and one
must be on guard so as not to be
carried out into the sea. During
the hot spell, a few weeks ago,
people came from the city to these
seashore resorts and slept on the
sand all night, to get the ocean
breezes. The Board Walk" which
Is along the seashore, Is crowded
with people afternoon and evening,
and one sees all kinds of people
and plenty of style. In fact, it's
on interesting place to pass a few
hours In recreation.
AS to the commercial lines that
/ have been investigating, there
seems to be general opinion that
the future of the country is all
right, and all look upon things In
an optimistic way. Merchants are
busy, workmen are at work, and
those who want to earn a living
can do so. In the ladies' cloak and
suit manufacturing district there
has been strike for the past two
months, and about $4,000 work.
men and women of the cloak MAX
ers' union are holding out for a
CLOSED shop" in other words, to
compel the manufacturers to en-
ploy only union labor. While the
manufacturers refuse to be bound
by such terms, they are willing to
give better pay, and shorter hours,
so long as they are allowed to en-
ploy both union and non-union la
Dor. The strike is still on, and /
have seen quite few street riots
since / have been here. Fortunate
ly, in the mems clothing the manu-
facturers are not hampered, and
inform me that things are running

GOOD ROADS in IOWA.
The River-tO-River Road and What
Concerted Action Will Do For
Iowa Roads and Iowa
Farms.

The newspapers of Iowa are 60
ing to increase the value of the
farm lands in Iowa by the good
roads campaign, which they are
waging in practically every section
of the state. They are constantly
hammering away at officials, and
the result has been wonderful. Not
so much in Winneshiek county; we
have succeeded in making several
road officials mad, and there has
been a decided improvement in our
country roads; but we are going to
keep up the fight until the people
become thoroughly aroused as to
the great efficiency of good roads
throughout the entire county.
Some time ago the Des Moines
Capital started campaign for a
river-to-river dragged road, stretch
ing across the state from Davenport
to Council Bluffs, through some of
our principal cities. The move
ment was taken up with interest by
public spirited men of the state.
The farmers along the line were
aroused, they provided themselves
with King drags and each agreed to
drag the road along his farm. 1t
was done at times designated from
headquarters, and the result has
been like magic, road like a pave
ment, clear across the state, and all
without the expenditure Of scarcely
any money. A King drag and a
little common sense, a willingness
to listen to those who had made
road work a study, and the entire
nation is now talking about Iowa
and her King drag river-to-river
road.
Last week Governor Carroll,
Mayor Hanna of Des Moines, T. H.
Macdonald, engineer of the commits
sion, Prof. Marston, dean of the
Ames college engineering depart
ment, Prof. Curtiss of Ames and a
number of other notable men of
Iowa covered the road in autos.
They were given constant ovation.
Almost the entire populace of
towns along the line and farmers
as well turned out, the road was
lined with flags, banquets were ten
dercd them, brass bands met them,
and everywhere the people went
wild with enthusiasm over the road
and the men who had made it pos
sible. The farmers said that it had
raised the value of their land, they
could get at least $40 per acre
more for it on account of this road
alone. They simply were awakened
to the possibilities of concerted ac-
tion in road work. They were
shown what the King drag and COM
mon sense will do, without the ex-
pending of large sums Of money.
What has been done in this in
stance can be done in every part of
the state. Iowa can be made to
boom, land can be rapidly increased
in value, and every farm made
worth much more than at present.
Get busy; do something for old
Iowa. Let the world know, as we
do know, that we have the best
state in the union, and prosperity
will take care of itself.
