not be held responsible. Stocks and
bonds Of the metropolitan company
were used as an investment for trust
funds of widows and orphans, many

hands of receivers.
The legislative graft investigation
developes that the metropolitan COM
panies made vast contribution to
both political parties and put up the
stocks held by politicians at figure
where they made a profit.

CONCERNING APPLE PIE.

Kansas City Journal.-"We trust
that there was no cinnamon or nut
meg in Aunt Delias apple pie" says
Franklin P. Adams in the New York
Mail, adding: Nothing so spoils apple
pie as the lily-painting attempt that
spices make" For shame, Mr.. Adams.
Why make such public exhibition Of
gastronomic ignorance? An apple pie
without cinnamon and nutmeg? Why.
sir, the thing is absurd. AS we'll have
plum pudding without raisins, julep
without mint and the Mail without
Adams. He who advises such an cpl.
curean solecism is no pie eater. Set
before such one the unromatic gou-
lash. Only an esthetic and refined tenn
permanent can appreciate the delicate
and aromatic exaltation Of apple pie
sprayed with cinnamon and nutmeg.
A great and sturdy nation has
come from New England stock that
was nourished with apple pie. This
glorious CONNECTION is the symbol of
home and mother. It has fourished
ever since the first brave soldiers of
Gloucester went far into the East
with hymn books and rum and re-
turned with cinnamon and nutmegs.
The minutemen were fortified with
pie apple pie made with cinnamon
and nutmeg. On Saturdays the good

CAPTAIN j. q. HUTCHINSON.

For forty-fye years Captain J. G
Hutchinson was one of the foremost
men OF this community. Coming 10
Ottumwa as a young man at the close
Of the civil war. he became promlnent'
Nv identified with the professional lie
of the city and he was equally sue
cessful when he turned his attention
from the law and entered business
pursuits
Captain Hutchinson was a man OF
strong convictions and was able and
fearless in the advocacy OF what he
saw to be right. He served IN the
legislature for period of ten years
with. credit to himself and honor 70
the state. He was honored b being
made the candidate of his party for
governor and only failed Of election to
the highest office in the gift OF the
state because he would not sacrifice a
principle for the sake of expediency.
There Is little doubt that IT he mad
been less militant in the advocacy OF
the principles for which he commended
he would have been elected as gov
crnor of the state, but he held I'M
swervingly to his course and contin-
ned his fight for those principles to
the end.
Ottumwa has lost strong man and
one who will leave lasting impress
upon the community in the death OF
Captain Hutchinson.

C1ark's Drug Store. Swenson's Drug Store

New England housewives made great
steaming, tempting, consummate APP
pie pies, rich in the fruity juices OF
Natures best product, to be consumed
cold on Sundays after Jonathan Ed
wards had opened the gates of purga-
tory and exhibited the writhing bodies
Of the damned for the delectation OF
the faithful.
Does Mr.. Adams think for moment
that Aunt Della does not know how to
fabricate an apple pie with an ethereal
crust exuding a rare and Intoxicating
aroma sweeter far than the incense
OF Daphne? Apple pie Is not matter
OF mathematics nor of rote or rule.
The making OF itahas been develop
ment. and each generation OF those
dear old New England cooks added
something to the art until 1T can no
longer be improved upony Aunt Della
was cooking pies that we're the very
apothesis Of perfection long before
Mr.. Adams was eating solid food. She
has devoted her whole life to making
apple pies, we might say, and an arro-
CANT newspaper scribbler would dare
set his profane foot within Aunt Della s
kitchen and tell her that she cant
bake pies?
No, Mr.. Adams, We may have wine
without bush, celery without salt and
Hamlet without Hamlet, but never
never, can perfect apple pie be
made without cinnamon and nutmeg.
Back to your shrimp salad, man. You
do not know what you are talking
about.

Willis |. Moore, chief of the United
States weather bureau, feels that 1t is
I'D to the weather man to quiet any
fears we may hold as to the approach
ing comet. Mr. Moore has issued the
following statement to show why we
need not fear being bumped of the
map by the comet.
Popular apprehension regarding
harm to the earth and its inhabitants
during the impending visit of Halley's
comet to this portion Of the universe
is unfounded. The result of a collision
between the earth and the comet
would depend upon the mass Of the
comet, the velocity Of the bodies, and
the angle of the impact. A collision
in the present case would be impossi-
BILE owing to safety margin between
the tracks of the earth and the comet
of about 13,O00O00 miles.
"The tail of the comet through
which the earth probably will pass
will be noticeable only as harmless,
luminous gas or dust, and may pro-
duce electrical and magnetic effects
that can be detected only by self-re-
.cording Instruments. A source Of
possible danger or discomfort to the
earth attending cometary visits would
be the falling into the. sun of a comet.
AS the least distance between Hal
.ley's comet and the sun in the present
instance will be more than 54,OOO,OOO
miles, the possibility of discomfort
from solar excitations will not exist
A margin of thirteen million miles
ought to be sufficient to keep even the
most obstreperous comet from rum
ming amuck.

IMPROVING A CITY. (

Several hundred of the leading citi-
zens of Webster City have formed a
civic Improvement league and adopt
I'd platform that should result in do
Ing something . lbstantial toward
heautifying the city. The league has
appointed committees to secure list
o. the dilapidated buildings within the
business section and this committee
will submit the list to the city coun-
I'll at it's next meeting and a.. that
these buildings be condemned and
town down. Committees have been
appointed in each ward to make list
of the dirty streets, ill-kept alleys
and vacant lots anu these lists will
be presented to the city council at
stated intervals for action. The
league has raised money for prizes
that will be awarded for the best kept
alley, the best kept yard, and the pest
kept flower gardens. Prizes Of 81 will
be given the pupils In each of the
fourth, fifth, sixth and Sc -enth school
grades for the best letter telling how
children may assist in beau. flying the
city.
This is a big program, but there is
no reason why it cannot be carried
out, especially since the mayor and
the members of the city council have
agreed to work in conjunction with
the league in carrying out the civic
improvements planned.
TT Re is need in every city for such
organization. The time of the city
Ticials is, as a rule, well taken up

TIE POSTAL DEFICIT.

A report from Washington states
that Postmaster General Hitchcock
has predicted the first year of the
present administration will show de-
crease of over S10,000,000 in the def
cit of s17,4S0,0C0 handed down from
preceding year. The postmaster
general bases his conclusions on re-
turns for the first half of the current
fiscal year and on preliminary returns
for the third quarter ending March 81.
The showing made by the postoffice
department bears out the contentious
of many who have Investigated the
matter that the postoffice business can
be made practically self-supporting by
eliminating the red tape and adopting
more modern business methods.
Postma ster General Hitchcock has
shown his efficiency by carrying out
radical reforms in che methods Of
handling the postal business. He call
ed the most experienced officers of the
registry service, the money order serv-
ice and in general postofice manage
ment into conference when he first
took charge of the department These
officers remained in conference until
they had formulated definite plans for
the betterment of their respective
services, and the recommendation
they made we're put into effect by the
department. The economies thus
brought about have caused the reduc-
ton in the deficit noted by the post
master general, and the work Of re-
organization is still in progress, prom
Using further economies.
1t will be great achievement for
the Taft administration If the postal
department is brought to self-sup-
porting basis through the institution
of business methods, and it will rem
der more effective the work of future
administrations in the conduct of this
department.

IN THE INTEREST OF
1.-THE SQUARE DEAL"

Ottumwa, Ia, April II, 1910.
Editor Of the Courier:
In the interest of "the square deal, I"
I would request publication OF the fol
lowing letters which are self-explana-
tory. II the point raised with DR..
Lyman Abbott had been Of contro-
versial nature, he would have been
justified in refusing to reply. But the
question is simply and solely that OF
leaving out, of what purports to be q
literal quotation, part OF a sentence,
which is both material and vital to q
correct understanding Of the article
quoted, and by such omission gains
added support for his argument.
should add, which was overlooked
when calling attention to the words
omitted in the quotation, that the
word conceivable" Is substituted for
"imaginable" in the original. This
would. If the only error, be compare
lively unimportant. but when taken IN
connection with the omission" 1t ap-
pears significant. The substituted
word is a somewhat better one to use
to sustain the contention for which
the quoted article is used.
DR.. Abbott gives as a reason Tor de-
clining an explanation, "the pressure
of his editorial duties" trust 1t will
not be deemed presumptuous for me to
say, that from the very fact Of his &C
knowledged ability, high character
and great influence in the realm of re-
ligious thought, it is more incumbent
on him to correct material and vital
misquotation, whether made intention
ally or otherwise, and give such cor
rection equal publicity with the origin
al statement, than is the performance
Of the most important editorial du-
ties
