DANISH THE POISON PLACES.

The law against putting out poison
might not unreasonably be extended
to include the public drinking foun-
tain. The Dubuque Telegraph Herald
relates an incident of an occurrence
which IL as common in other towns as
in Dubuque. 1t might have happened
anywhere and does happen everywhere
at public drinking places and on pas
senger cars. Read it:
A reporter on the staff of this news
paper yesterday saw man whose face
was in horrible condition from cancer,
drinking out Of a street fountain cup.
The other day a nurse saw a man in
advanced consumption drink out Of a
public cup, and Immediately after him
little children drank from the same
cup.
The board of education has ordered
q "bubbler," or sanitary fountain for
the Lincoln school, and il trial satisfies
the board that the fountain is a good
one, like "bubblerS" will be installed
:, in every public school.
The installation Of bubblers in the
schools is simply safeguard in the
school building. Outside the public
drinking cup gathers its contamination
of disease and distributes it among the
nnheedingiy thirsty. Some one the
! other day in Marshalltown was COM
planning that a dog had stood on his
hind legs and Tapped in the flow which
falls into the basin of one Of the foun-
tains. But the dog was the lesser dan
ger. No doubt cancerous and syphbtc
trace Of all contagion has fingered
about the cup. The public drinking
cup is poison cup. 1t belongs in
the discard.

THE LEGISLATURE.
dubuque Times Journal

The next general assenlb bly, of Iowa
will have lot of work to accomplish
in addition to electing the late Senator
Delivers successor. We refer especial
ly to matters on which factional and
party lines need not and Will not be
drawn. We need revision of Iova's
revenue laws, especially in their rela-
ton to the taxation Of moneys and
credits. The legislature should agree to
omit the district judges from the list
OF officers to be nominated at partisan
conventions. In the larger counties
supervisor districts should be abolish
ed in favor OF three supervisors chosen
at large and paid salaries instead Of
per diem and mileage. The long and
short haul clause of the railroad law
should be amended SO as 10 restore
competition between Iowa cities. In
townships co-terminus with cities the
Office Of Justice Of the peace should he
abolished and superior or municipal
courts substituted.
Every time the legislature meets
somebody gets nervous and expresses
hope for an early adjournment The
truth is that 1t Is never IN session long
enough to give fair consideration to all
measures proposed that are of interest
outside OF political circles. The xen-
era1 assembly should meet each year.

Iowa's Lost Population.


The falling off in the population of
Iowa, trifling tho it is, will mortify tho
people Of that state. Yet 1t is not SUR
prising. Iowa has no great cities TO
draw Inhabitants from other states. NO
great industries have started here.
There is no vacant land inviting set
tiers. There is practically no unim-
proved land except the strips along the
roads and the railway tracks While
the cities have gained something in
population the farming districts have
lost more. Men have left because they
thought there are better agricultural
opportunities in Canada or the far
west.
But the loss in population. while it
may cost Iowa congressman, which
would be regrettable, has not affected
the wealth or productiveness of the
state The increase in the size of farms.
more noticeable this year than it was
ten years ago. has had no effect on the
harvest The work which used to be
done by the men who have departed
has been taken care of by farm ma
chinery
One need not look for marked
change in conditions as long as Iowans
devote themselves SO assiduouSly and
successfully to the raising of corn and
oats. Probably With them there is
greater economy in large than in small
farms But assuredly the day will
come when there will he tnrn in the
tide and the population of Iowa will
begin 10 increase. The demands of
great city markets like that of Chicago
will compel more diversified agricul-
tural industry. The dairy and the
truck farm will pay better than the
cereals and will require the services
OF large number of people. There will
be reason for returning TO the land
which does not exist now.

The census bureau announces that
the value of Iowa farms has increased
III per cent during the last ten years.
The information is particularly inter-
esting because Iowa, probably moro
nearly than any other state, is typical.
It is distinctly farming state with
no great center Of population and no
overshadowing Industries Of any sort
excepting agriculture.
The development there has been a
measure Of the advance made in farm
ing conditions. The same could not be
said In most states, Minnesota for ex-
ample. There were no unoccupied por-
tionsof Iowa ten years ago. The state
was all titled then an now The increased

WHO VOTED FOR PORTER?

Governor Carroll has been res! ected
to his second term as governor Of Iowa
but his plurality of $1,000 of two years
ago over democratic opponent has
been cut down to 10000. While other
republican candidates on the same
state ticket have nearly $4,000 plurali-
ties TO their credit. Considering that
many thousands of republicans voted
for Mr.. Carroll in spite of an intense
dislike for him but solely in order to
be loyal to their party ticket this cleo
ton has clearly demonstrated that he
but that republican administration is
preferred 10 democratic administration
in this state in spite of candidates.
And the result read in that light is
satisfactory to the greatest number.
Porter the democratic candidate, de-
served nothing. personally, more than
Carroll. Had Judson Harm on. OF Ohio,
or Woodrow Wilson. of New Jersey,
been running for governor in Iowa, the
plurality would have been larger than
&c, 900 and it would have been credited
to the democratic ticket. Two things
and two only saved Carroll; first the
desire Of progressive republicans 10 re-
main loyal and have no blood of a re-
publican candidate on their hands and
secondly, the weakness OF the demo-
cratic candidate. platform and leader

That the progressive republicans re-
NAMED loyal IL spite Of their justified
dissatisfaction with the republican
candidate altho denied just now by
many factional journals is readily APP

enough plurality to make up what he

that these IL progressive republican

uncertainty in them as to the loyalty
Of the progressive counties to the re-
publican ticket.
But the progressive republicans

statistician. Porter got 2.412 less votes
