The Consumer Pays the Bill.

The is a refreshing frankness in the
admission by Vce.President DAILY of
the New York Central IIue, tina, the
consumer pays for the increase in
freight rates.
The statement contains no new econ
omic theory, it being perfectly well
understood that the roads additional
charges for carrying goods to the deal
err are by him passed on to the buyer.
This is an established "trade Gus tom.
The point for remark is the fact by
one familiar with transportation con-
ditions.
His statement throws light on other
aspects of railroad operation i'll its re-
latIoD to the general cost of living.
If the consumer pays the higher
rates which were con essedly put into
effect to offset the wage increases made
by the roads, it is clear that the con-
sumner pays for the higher cost Of labor
also He pays for the increased cost
of operation from whatever cause, for
betterments, dividends,~ interest on
bonds, l00-pound rails, and inciden-
tally for the defalcations of employees.
He has been sadded with the burden
of all the extravaganza and waste of
railroad operation in the past, and
his only hope of relief lies n the more
economical administration Of the roads
under Government regulation. IN.

The Wheeling Intelligencer, the
leading Republican paper of this state,
sees what's going to happen to the Re-
publican party this fall, and in adj
vance has placed the responsibility
upon the Coloneps shoulders. Hear
what the Inteligencer thinks of the
Repubicanism OF its former idol:
Every address made by Mr.. Roose
welt in his swing around the circle, by
implication at least, was direct at
tack upon the national Republican adj
miDistration. Practically every word
that he uttered carried encouragement
to those who either from personal dis
appointment or for selfish reasons
have beer dissatisfied with Republi-
can policies. Mr.. Roosevelt probably
did not make many insurgents, but he
gave all possible encouragement to
party disruption, and to the particular
element in the Republican organIza-
ton that has consistently and regular
~ placed its own opinions above the
opinions of the Republican majority.

The New York World printed this
dispatch: "In his address to the Col

sumed his familiar practice of attack

court honest but fossilized, he assailed
them for denying justice under cover
! of highly technical subtleties. Four
teen years ago-during the 1896 presi-
Dental campaign-in an article in the
Review or Reviews Mr. Roosevelt
wrote: "Furthermore, the Chicago con-
vention attacked the supreme court.
Again this represents species of atav-
ism-that is, of recurrence to the ways
of thought of remote barbarian ances-
tors. Savages do not like an independ.

The judges to decide their way, and if
he does not, they want to behead him.
The populists experience much the

A Truthful Assertion.

The worst habit that boys can fall
into is that of lnafing around on the

their lot in slippery places when at
any moment they are likely to fall
from grace. All good and noble les
sons taught them by their methers are
there ceunteraeted and aullified. They
learn nothing that is good-but every
thing bad The boys who spend their
evenings in the sacred precincts of

ponions are the future hope OF this
republic; they will fill our legislative
and congressional halls, AID sit in
judgment upon men and measures,
while the boys who run the streets
Will fill our peniteptiaries, almshouses

are responsible for these broken laws
of decency will have brokel hearts and

GILDERFLukEs AND THINGS.

~ Teoiid MISUNDERSTANDING adds
It's endorsement to the information
recently vouchsafed in these columns
respecting the gilderf1uke and volun-
teers additional facts on the authority
OF a local scientist. In the light of
these facts the deficiencies of the
standard works on natural history
are painfully apparent. Not one Of
them, as far as observation goes. even
mentions the gilderfluke, and all are
consequently wholly worthless for
purposes of reference. The DR.. Brad
ley mentioned in the appended par
agraph enjoys the well-earned dis
t1nction of being the worlds highest
authority on gilderiukes and things.
His preliminary studies made him ac-
quainted with the origin and inser-
ton of the levator labii superioris
alequa nasi the functions of the pons
aslnorum. and the mysteries of the
lter,a tertio ad quartum ventriculum.
BY reason of this-and some other
ngs,-where he sits is the head of
the table when gilderfukes, colly-
wobblers gallinippers, jobterwauks
and ganderbilks are under discus
sion Our readers will thank us for
reproducing the Herald-Transcript S
learned article in its entirety, as fol
lows:
The Kewanee Star-Courier and The
keokuk Gate City have opened dis
cussion which is well worth while
They are trying to figure out just
what 1gilderfuke' is. Their latest
conclusion is that it is first cousin
TO the snollygoster and a cross be
tween giasticutus and shark.
This is entirely true and Is youch.
ed for by DR.. Richard Bradley OF
this city, authority on gilderfukes
He adds that the gilderf1uke is often
mistaken for the collywobbler be
cause of the wappyness of its jaws
that 1t is in reality a sort of GALL
nipper with the fumus habits of the
jobberwauk. Anyway. whatever he is,
the gilderf1uke is pleasant thing to
have around in comparison with the
waggle-tongued ganderbilk. Glass in
natural history is dismissed"

ARATE THE NUISANCE.

Residents on Blondeau and Concert
streets from Fourth 10 Seventh COM
plain of double grievance. Dogs
taken up by tie city for nonpayment
of tax on them are impounded Oh the
city premises abutting Lucas avenue.
Pending their redemption or exc
cution these unfortunate animals
fight and howl, especially at night,
to the great annoyance of all within
hearing. On several nights recently
the noise was so great as to prevent
sleep on the part of many residents
in that part of the city. With view
of having the nuisance abolished at
least one of the compliments brought
it to the attention Of the superintend-
ent of public safety, who is accused
of having curtly refused to grant the
relief prayed for.
We take it that the state of affairs
complained of constitutes a nuisance
If so, 1t should be abolished. The
city has no more right to maintain
nuisance than has private indi-
vidual. 1t is within the power of the
courts, upon a proper showing Of
facts, to order the city authorities to
cease the offense. But it ought not
to be necessary to resort to the courts
for the purpose. 1t is the duty OF the
city authorities to enforce the laws,
and they should be first in the inter
est of law and order. to set an ex-
ample of obedience to law. 1t will
not be at all to their credit if they
have to be forced to do what the COM
munity has a right to expect them to
do voluntarily as representatives of
the law.
The yowling. growing and yelping
OF the impounded dogs is sufficient
grievance in itself The snperip end
ent OF public safety should not have
afforded cause for an additional grew.
ance by refusing to obey law which
ne rightly expects other people to OBJ
serve. 1t is not too late for him
to redeem himself by promptly re-
moving all occasion for complaint.

Bonaparte Record: A feature OF
the First district postmasters' con-
vention at Bluff Park recently was
an address by Hon. G. A. Kennedy,
concerning some changes now advo-
Gated for the postoffice business. He
states that one of the plans advocated
is the selling of postal notes similar
to those sold several years ago, pay
able at any postoffice, and sold for
ia less price than the usual money
order. Mr.. Kennedy in his speech
advocated placing all third and fourth
class postmasters under the civil
service. He is not spread eagle
orator, but forceful speaker and an
excellent congressman.

Kewanee Star-Courier: Gradually,
out of the dull obscurity in which the
word tgilderfluke' was shrouded,
there is emerging definition that
will stand every acid test. This is as
pleasing as it is surprising. because
zen the difficult task of settling
this perplexing thing, once for all
came up, we were warned against
tackling 1t on the ground that it was
wholly hopeless and we had gone into
the affair really against our better
judgment. But thanks to the hearty
backing OF some our contemporaries
we have been able to get renewed
courage from time to time in the

Bad Eoas.

Keosauqua Republican: A few
weeks ago the Republican stated that
three sittings of Chinese pheasant
eggs had been sent to Keosauqua by
the state game warden for incubation,
and that H. E. Blackledge, Andy Pat
ten and T. E. Campbell each took a
sitting of Is eggs to hatch. Well,
the period of incubation is now past,
and the sequel is that not one of the
forty-fve eggs produced a bird. In
other words, they were all bad eggs,
and there Is number of disappoint-
ed fellows hereabout. We under.
stand that Morris Eberhard, south of
town, however, got six birds from
thirty eggs, and saved four of them
We also understand that an effort
Is being made to induce the game
warden to supply this locality with
some birds of that species, already
Matched, the theory being, no doubt
that few birds in. hand are worth
whole basket full of bad eggs.

what gilderfluke is and general
celebrations are in order,
The Democrats and Liquor Issue.


Cedar Rapids Republican,: The
Democrats in their state platform did
not improve any on the present liquor
laws of Iowa. They want the COM
munities to be permitted to choose
for themselves, but to do it at popu-
lar elections. The Democratic meth
DDS Is not an improvement on the
present method. On the contrary, we
think 1t is much worse. Under the
Democratic plan the saloon would
have the right Of way It is the law,
except in such places as choose to
have saloons. Under the Democratic
plan the saloon would have the right
of way and would have to be ousted.
That would throw the burden on the
temperance elements, while now it is
on the liquor elements. As to the
method of determining the wish of
the people, we believe the present
Iowa plan is the best Under the
present plan the men who believe in
tolerating saloons must sign their
names Under the proposed Demo
cratic plan we would have elections,
with all the nasty methods known to
politics. The Democrats have not
chosen wisely. Their method would
be one of constant disturbance We
do not believe that they can make
the voters of the state see it their
way. Under the present law we have
automatic prohibition in more tnan
two-thirds Of the state. The Demo
cratic plan would restore all that ter
ritory to the saloons, and that with
the turmoil of political methods.

The prediction has been made, bas-
ed on the acreage report issued by
DR.. Chappell, head of the Iowa
Weather and Crop Service, that Iowa S
corn yield this fall will reach $685.
175,ST0 bushels. This will be over a.
100000 bushels more than the crop
of 1909 and 100000 bushels more
than the crop of 1908 The Iowa corn
yield has passed the 30o,O00,0o0 bush
ell mark four times in the last TWEEN
ty years, but Iowans will be satisfied
if the growing crop does not quite
reach that figure. The value of this
years crop is conservatively estimat
ed at 100000 That will be fine
addition to the wealth of the state.

The River to River road from
Council Bluffs to davenport is $50
miles long and fine thing for motor
lists and the farmers along the way.
1t is dirt road, dragged at intervals,
preferably after rains. An auto haul
ing king drag will cover eight to
ten miles day The cost of keeping
the roads in condition the year round
is placed at 1925 a mile. The Du.
but Times-Journal figures from this
that the $1,000 miles of road in Iowa
would require 1852 ,oO0-about 5 per
cent of the road tax annually collect
ed. The Times-Journal suggests, in
the light of this showing, that we
would get much better results in
Iowa generally if the improvement
and care of the roads were in the
bands of the state.

There doesn't seem to be any sort
of connection, logical or otherwise,
between the cities whose population

Ill, and Columbus, Ohio. If there is
any rhyme, reason or sequence to
this it is not apparent on the surface
of things. Apropos the absence of
anything of the kind the Waterloo

out Kalamazoo, Baraboo and Water

The glow is fading from the western

good-by;
There isn't anyone for me to play

The kisses of loved ones gone be-

IT'S lonely, when the heart first

That the railroads of the country
are better off than they were year
ago is proved by their own reports for
1909, abstracts of which are now be.
fore the commerce commission
and from which the commits
sion has formulated its report
covering that year. The com
mission finds that while receipts
have increased more than s14,0o0,00o,
the expenses during the same period
decreased s7o,0OO,oo0 The saving
was not effected by reducing the num-
Der of employees nor by reduction
in wages, for both were increased
The result is attributed to better

He whispered and be told her, close
Beside the summer sea,
His yearning wish to hold her close
Through all eternity
while in his heart he counted UP
The hints she had let drop
OF how the ducats mounted up
Each week in papa's shop.
He told her of the X. A., q.
His railroad, with such pride,
The maid in wondering ecstasy
Quick nestled at his side.
Eve all converse SO shoppily
And let our thoughts get quirked;
She meant when talking shoppily
The shop where papa worked.
His railroad, too meant nothing rasher
Than that he was it's baggage
