Governor CARROTS Good Fortune.
Des Moines Register and Leader:
Those of the Democratic leaders who
did not realize at the time what sort
of trouble they were borrowing
when they permitted Judge Wade to
commit them to legalizing the saloon
in Iowa again are beginning now to
see that more foolish proceeding
was never credited to the Democratic
donkey.
So lar as Judge Wade is concerned
he seems to have had professional re-
lations with the parties mainly in in
terest which would go far to explain
his urgency in the matter. The judge
has been, if he is not now, the at
torney for the liquor interests of the
state. The Judge also lives in the
Second district, where something in
the way of county offices and other
prerequisites are in sight
AS for Mr.. Porter he is placed in
position that must make Governor
Carroll feel comfortable in compari-
son. He does not want to make cam
paign for the saloon, probably will
not. And yet he dare not denounce the
Wade plan nor repudiate it. He will
try to run as though no such plank
had ever been heard of, all the while
that the liquor interests are conduct
ing the campaign as though there
were nothing else in the platform.
In the meantime, the pledge to re-
store the saloon to legal standing, to
put the burden of proof on the people,
and to take enforcement of the liquor
law away from the state and turn it
back to the river cities-this is the
Democratic plan in nutshell-will
do for the constitutional amendment
peoDle just what they have been
wanting somebody to do for a lsCg
time. 1t will furnish them with an ex-
cuse for statewide agitation, and
will drive thousands, who have been
standing out against their plan be
cause the present law strictly en-
forced is a pretty good one, to the
conclusion that there is no peace
and the end might as well come one
time as another.
AS the Issues are now drawn and
as the state campaign must now be
made Governor Carroll, with all the
handicaps he enters the race under,
should carry Iowa by $4,000 majority

Aiding Speculation.

Des Moines Capital: 1t is almost all
a mans life is worth to tell the peo-
pie the way to get start in the
world is by the old fashioned method
of working and saving.
The world hears of the occasional
Spectator who makes money, but
never hears of the tenderfoot who
blows his money in and never sees
nor hears of it again.
Our government has aided in the
spread of this speculative craze by
it's land lotteries and its irrigation
schemes. And our government ought
to change its ways in some of these
respects

Value Of Publicity.

In paper on 1.-The Value of Pub
Lefty in Public Affairs read be-
fore the Southern Iowa Editorial as
ISOLATION at Des Moines last Friday,
S. NJ. Green of the Charlton Herald
Patriot told the following story WHICH
well illustrates the short-sightednes
of some officials in their efforts to-
save the taxpayers money:
"And l have known county aud

of a little board proceedings, and
lose the county $4,000 by doing it..
1t is an old story. but perhaps some
of you have not heard it. 1t hap
pened down in our county of Lucas,
three or four years ago, and it is a
true story-not an ordinary report of
board proceedings
"Our county treasurer had, by some
bauble, on somebody's part, deposited
all of the county's cash in one bank
over $4,000, in the First National
bank Of Charlton The people had
not been informed In the proceedings
that the board had some kind of a
fuss with the other bank, and had
arranged things so that the money
would all be deposited in the First
National. Things might have been
different If that had been reported
/ in the proceedings.
When the First National failed, as
many will remember, the cashier, f.
R. Croker, killed himsef, Mr.. Crock
er, had given the county bond,
/ signed by five responsible persons,
as a guarantee to secure the deposit
of the county money. The bond was
I for only $4,000 while the county de-
I posts aggregated about $4,000. But
that was not put into the minutes
either
/ The bond was signed by FIVE per-
sons-Mr. Croker, Mrs. Mallory. the
president of the bank, Mrs. Thayer,
one of the directors, G. w. Larimer
and c. w. Ramsey, business men. 1t
became necessary for the county to
sue the bondsmen, as the bank could
not make good the deposit, and Mrs
Hhdloly anu Units. IHdyer SWOTe IN
court that they had not signed the
bond, nor had they given Mr. Croker
authority to sign 1t for them. AS Mr..
I Croker was dead, and no one wanted
to go to find him to ask him about it,
the Judge finally had to accept the
word of the two women and release
them from the bond. That left only
two men holding the sack. and the
county could not collect the total de-
felt from them. so it compromised
by losing $4,000.
"The point is this:

up the minutes for the newspapers
to publish few months before the
bank failure. given the minutes as
they actually were, he would have

12,000-enough to have paid for all
the board proceedings of the county
for half a century.
County supervisors or county aud
tors cannot tell when just such a case
will arise. They try to skimp the
newspaper reports givez to the people
to inform them what their employees,
the county officials, are doing, and
they nearly always beat the county
instead of the newspapers in doing
so. The editors can stand 1t much
better than the city or the county
can. Omissions of sheriffs, reports,
omissions OF county clerks reports,
omissions of recorders reports, omis-
sions of trustees road reports, omis-
sions of election returns-all are COM
mon to all of you. You have to quar-
rel and quibbel for them If you get
them at all, and you get tired of
quarreling and quibbling and making
yourself appear to be asking for
something. The law says what shall
be done, but every few years there is
a new set of county or city officers;
and it often takes supreme court
decision to convince each new officer
that he must obey the law regarding
reports to the people as to
how he is conducting the peoples
business. He imagines thar he has
right to collect 100000 or 100000
of the peoples money and the people
have no right to know what he does
with it. Would any private employ
er do business that way? II not,
why should the public as an employer
do It,"

FATE.
Two shall be born the whole wide
world apart,
And speak in different tongues and
have no thought
Each of the Others being, and no
heed;
And these DER unknown seas to un-
known lands
Shall cross, escaping wreck, defying
death;
And all unconsciously shape every
act,
And bend each wandering step to
this one end,
That one day out of darkness they
shall meet,
And read life's meaning in each
others eyes.
And two shall walk some narrow way
: of life
So nearly side by side that should
one turn
Eve so little space to left or right,
They needs must stand acknowledged
face to face;
And yet with wistful eyes that never
meet;
With cropping hands that never clasp,
and lips
Calling in vain to ears that never
hear
They seek each other all their weary
days,
And die unsatisfed, and this is Fate.

THE GIRLS WHO CAD.

William Allen White in the En-
poria (Kan) Gazette: The mothers of
this town have had a lesson-but it
doesn't seem to have done them any
good There are just as many girls
gadding around town after school
now, getting their mail from private
boxes in the postoffice as there were
days ago. Two years ago the Ga
zette went after the mothers of En-
posia for neglecting their daughters,
and the result was that half dozen
private mail boxes were discontinued
and a lot of little girls that we're in
the habit of gadding too much were
kept in for time.
These girls are now developing
into fine young women, but another
crop of gadding girls has come.
They are between fourteen and
seventeen years old, and are SO ever
lastingly boy struck that they can't
sit still If their mothers knew the
| type of boys and young men-young
human pups-these birds are run
ming with their mothers would have
| fits.
But the mothers know nothing OF
the situation They think that their
little girls are SO sweet and pure
that nothing can harm them. The
truth is that these children are made
of the same kind of mud that we are
/ al made of, and they are just as
liable to temptation as older people
and thousand times less experience
ed. And their mothers let them CAD
Commercial street after school and
firt with all kinds of men. and then
wonder how the devil got them, and
think the girls must take after their
father.
There are two things that will
help to make girls straight as that
age" one is plain clothes and the
other is home duties. The girls who
make fools of themselves in EN-
poria are invariably over-dressed.
A little girl with too many and
too costly clothes on her back be-
comes self-conscious and vain and
loves admiration-and you grown-up
women know the next step A sim
pie, pure-hearted girl, who has a
place in home. home work and
home duties, has her heart there,
and no boy can steal it. Only when

; comes and real affair of her heart
; comes, will such girl leave home,
: and then only after heaft-aches and
heart rending.
