Judicial Common Sense.

A judge in Missouri has shown the
country a bit OF sense regarding the
qualifications of jurors. In the trial of
a case one of the lawyers, with the evil
dent intention OF challenging, asked the
familiar question whether the talesman
had read accounts of the case in the
newspapers whats the difference II
he has read the newspapers" demand
ed the judge. He'll make the better
juryman To say that a man ought
not to serve because he has read the
newspaper accounts is saying in effect
that a jury Of intelligence is objected
to- That is not justice; neither is 1t
law" It is satisfaction to have go
sensible suggestion clothed with the
authority of a Judge.

BILLY HAMILToN's DISCOVERY.
I0deho}, Chroricla 1

Mrs CAROLS proposal that the ma
ture and prevention of venereal disease
be taught in the public schools of the
state doubtless had its origin in the
brain of her husband, the governor.
That far seeing and acute politician has
been casting in the political stream for
an issue on which he can defy his OPP
ponents and get another term without
a contest and he has found 1t. The
tender and receptive mind Of the child
must be made acquainted at public ex-
pense with the cause and nature of
loathsome diseases. so that he can edu-
cate his ignorant parents and point the
finger Of scnrn at the quack doctors.
The State Normal School will be ex
pected to establish a department FOR
the training of teachers in such lines.
It's a great scheme. No one but Gov
ernor Carroll could have conceived 1t.

MARITAL DISCIPLINE.
MANCHESTER Press.

liMaNcheSter Press
The housewife who does lot Of the
heavy work around the. house which
a lazy husband loads onto her ought to
beat a few ounces Of industry into him
with an AK helve. The trouble is that
few women start out right in their
married life. If the young wife would
reach over and sink a bed slat into
the PROSTATE form of her spouse when
he tells her TO get up and build the fire
one important question would be set
tied in that home for time and eternity
After man has had his ribs damned

lower unlocked with a mop handle he
viii chase pals out to the sink so fast
that the handles will melt off. 1t doesn't
pay to be mealy mouthed with the man
who smokes Track Walkers Delight to-
bacco in the parlor and goes around
the house singing Let the Women Do
the Work" If more women would
pass around the reverse end of po-
tato masher as a gentle reminder to
their husbands to take their feet Off
the center table and get busy there
would be more dual purpose BRIDE
grooms floating around with cloves on
their breaths. We saw a great, hulk
ing husband of six happy weeks come
looping into doctors Office with a face
on him like cross section of beef
sausage, received in an argument with
his underground wife over who should
fill the wood box, and that pleasing re-
ceptacle has never been empty since.
Moral suasion and the power OF love
are all right when you are dealing with
a stiff legged calf, but the only treat
ment that counts for anything with an
unruly husband is to plant mellow
swat in his side whiskers with a fiat

THE DEPOT DISTRICT.


1t isn't fair to judge city or town
by the partial or casual glance one
gets from a car window in passing.
Eldon makes a good case in point. The
vicinity OF the railroad yards is neces-
sarily more or less subject to the
smoke of the engines and the shops
and efforts TO have a spotless town
there would be useless. but back on
the hills is the residence district and
here one finds an escape from the SCOT
ard CRIME and the industrial clamor
of the portions nearer the river A
number of fine residences have been
built on the sloping hillside. most of
them still retaining that appearance
which betokens newness. while the
others are neatly painted and the
grounds are nicely kept. The view is
most pleasing and the air is fresh, pure
and invigorating.

TRUSTS AND FARMERS.

WEBSTER City Freeman Tribune.1
The farmer ought to be q proud
man. When election time approaches
everybody fatters him, and no one
finds any fault with him. When his
product is selling at high prices, the
politician dare not refer to 1t in q way
to reflect on the farmer. In states like
this as regards elections, the farmer
is the entire performance. When hogs
are 50 hundred, our distinguished
men do not assault5the farmer, but they
go red hot after the trusts and COM
bines.-Des Moines Capital.
It is a favc-ite pastime for such
papers as the Capital to class farmers
with trusts and combines when the
prices of farm products are unusually
high. But there is no parallel. The
trusts and combines dia.ate prices re-
gardless of tho cost of production and
they also regulate the supply in great
measure. The farmer does not fix the
price of his products. rcr can he regu-
late or control the supply. The price
he gets is fixed by the buyer. When the
farmers combine ard boost prices ar
bitrarily 1t will be time to call them
as the Capital insinuates.
The farmer has been selling butter
right here in Webster City AT 28 and
81 cents a poun5 and taking his pay
in trade. At tbs same time butter has
been retailing in Des Moines from SO
TO 10 cents. And the same condition
has prevailed in the egg market.
There will be no disposition to con-
denim the trusts and combinations for
high prices when they permit the buyer
to fix the price of the products they
sell.

THE WARD ALDERMAN.
dubuque Times-Journal.]

iiGEGtfGS < !.!!SS-JcuIyla1.J
Advocates of the commission plan at
Sioux City and elsewhere are taking a
good many falls out Of the ward alder
man and more out of the ward system.
They are inclined to hold this ward
system responsible for the placing Of
power in the hands of inferior men and
for log rolling in the council.
1t is mistake to suppose that what
ever complaint may be justified could
be corrected under the old plan. Here
in Dubuque county our seven super
visors are chosen at large and not by
districts, but we are not boasting Of
the superior economy or efficiency of
governm ent in Dubuque county. Black
hawk has seven supervisors elected
under the ward or district system and
the democratic press Of Dubuque coun-
ty has never challenged comparison OF
the cost of living in Blackhawk and
Dubuque as shown by the expenditures
of the two county governments for per
diem and mileage of the supervisors
or for general purposes. The theory
that the road to economy lies in the
abolition Of ward lines would be re-
jected in Dubuque by a jury selected
at random and reminded OF the county
governments experience ;
The submerged ward which sends no.
toriously unfit men to the council is an
ensysted mass Of corruption and ignor-
ance that should not be broken and
sent thru the whole system. Cities Of
iowa which choose ward aldermen also
elect aldermen at large. According to
the theory of the commission plan.
these aldermen at large should be the
, - -
tue and intelligence and should be the
leaders OF the council, but the sound
ness OF this theory has not been proven
by general results. And for log rolling
by aldermen the commission plan mere

ly substitutes log rolling by commits
sioners. The aldermen enter combina-
tions to get appropriations for their
wards and commissioners do the same
departments. Some wards send men
to the council who could not be elected
aldermen at large because they fall be-
low the level of popular demand and
some send men who could not be elect
ed aldermen at large because they rise
above the level of public demand. 1t is
the quality Of public demand which in
the end determines the quality of the
