THE NEWSPAPER MEN.

Our eyes are thick for slumber and
our brains are tired and stale;
Nerves we have none to speak of, yet
we never dare to fail.
There are always cries for copy" and
they never cry in vain,
For the Presss need is cruel, and
recks not of our pain.
Through the endless summer evening
when we should be with our
wives
We are endlessly recording all the
tales of other lives.
We recount the deeds of heroes; there
are new ones every day;
Or are revcllng in scandals for-about
a Transfers pay.
We greet the new-fedged statesmen;
self-important green, elate;
We warn the politicians what to do to
save the state;
we clink glasses with good fellows;
yet we've got to keep our head
For the scandals of the living and the
virtues of the dead.
There are some that seem to envy the
positions that we hold.
To think that our typwriters are like
pens Of beaten gold;
For we still keep happy faces-though
our homes we seldom see.
And the smiles Of wife and children
are denied to such as we.
But ] guess Wen keep on going, take
assignments, do the work;
We may loaf. or drink, or gamble: but
our tasks we must not shirk:
For it's In our blood. the fever-and
we die off one by one
But the Press goes on forever. for its
work is never done.

publican nominee for reelection. At
right, Claude r. Porter, Democratic
nominee.

Des Moines. Iowa, Oct. 13.--While
Iowa Is always considered good fight
ing ground by the Democratics this
year they are unusually active in op-
posing a reelection of Governor Il. f..
Carroll. Claude II. Porter of Center
Vile, Democratic nominee for sovern-
or began his campaign at Sioux city
on September 20. Since then he has
been losing no time and is making as
many speeches as possible. The Dem
ocratic central committee has planned
its fight by congressional districts.
This is partially due to the confidence
on the part of the Democratic leaders
that Iowa's one Democratic congress-
nah may not feel SO lonely at Wash
ington after the coming November
election.
Although the Democrats are making
a speech making campaign, the Re-
'publicans are pursuing opposite tao
ties. Republican leaders are averse to
a speaking campaign. Nevertheless
Governor Carroll announced that he
will go ION the hustings" and will at
tempt by automobile, to cover as large
a section of the state as possible.
In Iowa, Mr.. Porter is devoting his
speeches largely to the national is
sues. on the other hand, Gov. Carroll
is making his campaign upon state is
sues insofar as they affect his record.
He is pointing out the management of
the state institutb'hs thti good roads
movement. better schools and similar
local issuesiwith Fhichj he has been
identified. % = Y siA
1t is not necessary to state that the
insurgent movement has been at its
height in Iowa. Senator 'Cummins and
Dolliver prior to the state primaries
and Republican state convention, were
severe i'm their arraignment of the
Payne tariff bill, the leadership of
Senator Aldrich and i'm short, the adj
ministration OF President Taft. Mr..
Porter has secured copies of the
speeches of the senator's and quotes
from them literally a. he addresses
the voters in various communities.
The liquor question is playing an
important part i'm the Iowa campaign.
And il too, in the face of an appar-
ent desire on the part of both Mr..
Porter and Gov. Carroll to keep quiet

on the Prohibition prospect: In Iowa
this year, the people will vote upon
whether M constitutional convention
shall be called for the purpose of
amending the state constitution. This
question is raised by the constitution
of the state which requires a vote on
a constitutional amendment every ten
years. The Prohibition party is work
ing for the passage of a prohibtory
amendment. But the party is divided
as to whether that should come now
or whether it should be secured
through the legislature which meets in
January. Some ProhibltionistS fear
that To call a constitutential conven-
ton now with no particular object in
view might endanger the prospects
of Prohibition. The Democratic party
i'm its platform comes out for county
option. The Republican state plat
form contains a clause on the liquor
question that appears to favor the
present moist law. II is not difficult
to see that the situation is thus rather
complicated
Governor Carroll has been delayed in
commencing his campaign by an in
dictment by the grand jury at Des
Moines accusing him of criminal libel
The indictment charged that the gov
ernor libelled John Cownie. formerly
chairman of the state board of control
i'm an article published in the Des
Moines Capital, May "a. following Mr.
Cownies resignation. The trial on the
Indictment was important and extend

governor after the Jury had deliber-

proceeding of the governor is problem

Iowa has not had n Democratic gov
ernor since 1891 when Horace Boies
was reelected over Hiram c. Wheel
Jackson defeated Boies at the follow
ing gubernatorial election and since
then Iowa has been Republican. Gov
ernor Carroll was elected over Ex-

ago by majority of 6O,O51. This is
a good sized lead to overcome. -Four

The tradition. as old as Shakespeare.
of the schoolboy going unwillingly 10
school, is not generally true at the
present time. Many a boy and many
a girl would regard il as a hardship
TO be prevented from regular attend
ance at the institution of learning.
There are various reasons for this.
one is that il is the fashion 10 go TO
school. and that children of school age
as well as children OF larger growth
are inclined by irresistible impulse 20
DO what their fellows do. Another is
that there is in the normal boy and
girl Of the present time a desire for
education, based on a belief that il is
essential to success in life. Finally
this is true of the intellectually awak-
ened pupils-there is a desire 10 go 10
school because school is attractive. For
these study has its eXcitements as well
as play. Actually. in defiance of the
old tradition, there are pupils who
like their teachers and like their books.

monstrance was lodged in cell. The woman was told to give up, but she sWore that she did not have anything more and said: T know my business; you get a woman to search me. It is against the law for a man to do so. She was somewhat intoxicated and talked pretty freely. Captain Richmond went after a woman to make the search, but just before he returned the woman gave up to Officer Pauihus, finding the locket in a pocket of her red sweater after she herself had made an ineffectua1 search of her stockings and shoes.
 She said she wanted to be let go and that they had job in Mechanicsville, to which they were going. and that the disgrace was more than. she could stand. They are Benjamin and Han nah Kalberg, as disclosed by a letter written to them at Talcottville from the French River Textile company of Mechanicsville promising them work if they came at once.
 The pair had applied at the Wind ham Silk company here for employ ment. and it is known that the man had been here looking for work about Q. year ago.
 E The ring that Mrs. Kalberg stole locket $3 and the watch case (gold) $S. The two latter articles were taken from the case.
 Both will be arraigned in police court this (Monday) morning.
 The man had several dollars about his person and a baggage check that he wanted the officers to take and get his baggage for him so that he would not have to pay storage on it. The woman was given a thorough search later by a woman, but no other arti- cles that were stolen were found.
