Council Bluffs this week spent three
days going over the country infested
by the deer. Interviewing farmers, ex-
aiming their corn helds and wheat

losses. Mr.. Groneweg was astonished
by the extent of these losses and by the
number of these deer, which now con-
stitute real menace to farmers.
These deer, now number from 500 to
400, and some claim 500, cover
run of about fifteen miles

thing. They will get no legislation
that does not meet the approval OF
Aldrich. Cannon and their associates.
The people will find out that If they
want legislation in the interest OF the
people they will have to turn to the
democratic party"
Judge Wade is distinctly out Of poll
tics but always a keen observer OF
events. He is confident that as the
result of the muddle at Washington
the democrats have a good chance to
capture congress this year.
There is disposition on the part
OF leading democrats of the state TO
reject the Waterloo candidate for gov
ernor. Rev. Mr.. Bashor, and to turn
again to Claude Porter, who garnered
10000 votes a short time ago of those
who class themselves as "administra-
ton republicans" Clint Price, chair
man of the democratic state commit
tee. refers to Bashor as "a man named
Bashor who halls from Waterloo and
Alex Miller, committeeman from the
First, in his paper, refers to the
preacher politician as "a worn out old
populist and hip shot stump speaker
with hair on his teeth and cotton in
his eyes" and says that If he were
running for polecats he wouldn't get
smell" Chairman Price also writes in
his Indianola paper
1T is time for deliberation and
thought. Gov. Carroll is distasteful to
a number of his own party and the
democrats should prepare to take de-
cent advantage of conditions as they
exist
The democrats affect to believe that
with Porter at the head of the ticket
again he would receive very many OF
the same republican votes that he re-
ceived the last time an effort was
made to make the state democratic
and that to this would be added a few
others who are standing pat They
also believe that this time there would
be very few boiling democrats and that
practically the full vote of the party
would be given for their entire ticket.
1t is increasingly likely that Porter
will accept the nomination. especially
IT the deal is SO framed up that there
will be no chance for vote on gov

herd or any part of 1t, for the reason
that q string of damage suits would
follow such an admission OF ownership.
About ten years ago ten or fifteen
deer belonging in herd owned by
man named Cuppy, residing at Avoca,
this county, escaped, and 1t is from this
small band that these 800 or 500 deer
have increased. For some years after
the small herd began roaming about
the country the does We're petted by
farmers and their children, were fed
milk and choice tit bits from the
gardens and fields but when the novel
ty wore off and the deer became de-
structive another story was told.
Plans TO Get Rid of Animals
Various plans have been suggested
for putting q stop TO the depredaloffs
of the deer. any and all of which con-
template more or less expense, ana now
to provide for the work is the main
problem. Deputy Warden Gronewee
thinks the deer should be driven or
coaxed with salt, into corral the
larger deer killed and the smaller
deer distributed among the various
parks of the state.
1t will necessitate considerable ex-
pense to do this. which must be borne
by the state. 1t mas Deen suggested
that the carcasses of those deer killed
be distributed among the various
state institutions, the occupants of
which would be treated to feast of
rare deiicacy, for the deer are in fine
condition.
One farmer showed Mr.. Groneweg
peach orchard of several hundred
trees which had been literally de-
stroyed by the deer. Just as the trees
began growing nicely and while the
Young shoots and leaves were IN
succulent stage, the deer advanced on
the orchard and in one night destroyed
it. MIR. Groneweg went thru corn fields
where every ear of corn was eaten.
The deer follow row of corn, poking
their noses under the husk. eating the
corn and leaving the cob entirely bare
of kernels. In some fields the dam
age was estimated to have been % per
cent
No fence has yet been required for
farm purposes which offers the slight
est resistance to the deer, as they hy
over the tops of wire and board fences
with the gr Attest ease.

by invitation of the w. c. T. U. ad-
dressed them here on the white slave
traffic"
There are clearing houses for
white slaves all over our land. The
chief manager of one OF these houses
made 100000 one year.
I'm 1907 $4,000 girls were imported
but our government has laid heavy
punishment on these found In this
heinous traffic.
Every mother who receives a let
ter from her daughter in Detroit who
writes home that she has a good job
ought to investigate the matter
"A few causes which are feeders"
for the traffic are First, Certain
stratas of society to which parents de-
light to introduce their children and
where tipping, card playing and OBJ
jectionable dancing are INDUCED in:
second, poverty and drink; third. the
matter of dress. 1t is about time we
cntS loose from old Dame Fashion and
the Paris styles: fourth, dancing In
public. II Is time the whole thing was
wiped out. The White Slave traffic
has begun right here in our city in the
social dance. When | see II wish a
fire alarm would be turned In and the
program stopped. From here the VIC
Tins ultimately will go to larger

DETENTION HOUSE NEEDED.
Supervisors Will Be Asked To Ap-
propriate $4,000 For Purpose.

AS the result OF revelations made
TO upwards OF 40 representative citi-
zens by Juvenile Court Judge Henry
s. Hubert In the home of H. G.
Hodges, No. 541 Jefferson-ave., Thurs
day night. request will be made on
the Wayne county board of supervis-
ors to provide $4,000 for the purpose
of erecting detention home for the
care of juvenile disorderlies in Wayne
county.
The Judge told the gathering that
the depravity OF most OF the girls and
boys who come before him, was shock
ing. He also said that there was a
period In the life OF every hayward
boy and girl when he Or she desired
to make change for the better.
Thus 1t was imperative, the Judge
said, that those who deal with the
young offenders, should have close
supervision over them. 1t would be
much better, he pointed out. to have
them under a sympathetic and watch
full eye in Detroit, than In the indus
trial schools In Lansing and Adrian.
Judge Hubert also pleaded for more
probation officers He said that while
Cleveland had 10 men and Toledo 10
to look after Juvenile offenders, De-
troit had but three. The Detroit men.
moreover, were paid by public sub
scription. The judge thought that the
supervisors ought to provide more
men and pay their salaries as well.
This view was supported by the
courts audience, and they resolved
to do all in their power to aid the
Judge In his efforts to secure the de-
tention home and the additional help
required.
