The special breakfast bacon"
train of the Iowa Agricultural Col
lege came in over the Rock Island
on schedule time Friday evening,
and was visited by a large number
Of our people and neighboring farm
ers. The train consisted of seven
cars, four of which were devoted to
the purpose of demonstrating to the
people by lectures and exhibits the
possibilities of the Iowa hog. In one
car a professor lectured upon the
breeding, raising, care and feeding
Of the hog, the possibilities and op-
portunities of increased production,
etc. In another a lady professor
talked TO a car packed with ladies
upon domestic science, as applied to
the cooking of the hog in its every
phase. Still another car Of ladies
We're given lecture by another
professor along similar lines, and
the fourth was devoted to exhibits of
the products of the hog of every
kind, prepared especially for the
school children
The running of this train over the
state will do wonders in the matter
of hog raising and of educating the
people upon the use Of hog products.
In this manner the money paid by
the people of the state for the sup
port of the state agricultural col
lege comes directly back to them in

The other aspirants were told to go

was the heir by right of political
preference. 1t might have said that
Mr.. Byers was promised that seat,
even if Dolliver had lived. if he
would go and moke a fight last
spring on Congressman Smith. That
Is the way that Mr.. Byers under

the people to have anything to say
about. The big Offices are generally
promised by the bosses and the peo-

GREAT COMEDY DRAMA
Another Good Company Coming To
Grand Opera House.
One of Joseph Weber's New York
Production Coming to
DecOrah.

Unique among modern stage Of
ferings and serving as the pioneer
of the new drama, comes "The Cli-
max play in three acts. by Ed
ward Locke, which will be seen for
the first time in Decorah.
While "The Climax has been
seen in but few cities outside Of
New York, it is already as we'll and
favorably known as though it had
been a friend ofDthe entire country
for years.
When Joseph Weber produced the
play one year ago, at his own thea
tre in New York, the author-Ed-
ward Locke-was unknown, and the
production was looked upon in
doubt. Today THE Climax" is ac-
knowledged the greatest play in
years, and Mr.. Locke recognized as
one of the most promising American
reviewers. Mr.. Weber found gem
of purest dramatic ray serene when
he discovered THE Climax He
undoubtedly paved the way for
new class Of play The betterment
of the American stage has long
been subject of discussion and the
enswer to the argument seems to
have come in THE Climax. In the
play the author has hit upon a new
theme, and with the assistance of
Joseph Carl Breil, who composed
incidental music which forms so inn
pOrtant a factor in the delightful
play, has worked it out in not only
most agreeable manner, but as
one of the most artistic bits Of
stagecraft in long while. He works
up to it with sound dialogue which
has human quality The scenes
have that natural aspect which sug-
gests lifess it is lived by real hui
man beings and not by stage pup
pets and one frequently feels that he
is watching proceedings taking
place within four walls of room
rather than three sides of scenery
and a proscenium arch, and that is
the aim and hope of every drama
tist.

The Newspaper In Politics.

Many people seem to regard the
political work of the newspaper as
an effort to boss the voters and con-
troll elections. Nothing could be more
absurd. The newspaper is under
tacit understanding with its readers,
both to print the news and to discuss
politics. All such discussion, if fair,
is a public service. 1t is only thus
that public questions get thorough
consideration. Often when the
newspaper has a friendly regard for
both candidates, it would be much
pleasanter to keep out of the scrap.
But the newspaper that does that
loses public respect,
If an honest conviction has been
frankly stated by newspaper, it
wins general respect from tolerant
minded men. In addition to that,
the public has read its utterances
with interested attention. The good
newspaper man asks little more than
that. These ends achieved. his work,
professionally speaking, is well
done, whether his candidates win or
lose. u
