grievance against certain members or
the government. or think they have,
and their charges and predictions are,
for this reason. discounted by the
public. In 1912 the contest will be
between the same old parties that CON
fronted each other in 1908 ana pre-

likely to be repetition of that of
1908.

FOUR FOOTED OUTLAWS.

John w. Wright in Knoxville Jour
nal: There is something truly remark
able in the manner in which certain
beasts of prey defy civilization. The
most notable example in Marion coun-
ty and in Iowa at the present time, Is
seen in the return of the wolves and
foxes. There are probably ten times
as many OF these two classes OF the
carniyorous beasts in Marion county
today than there were 20 years ago.
The explanation is that they took
fright at early civilization and HE'D
for new fields of action: that the new
countries were settled up and then
came the tug OF war in animal exist
ence--tbe struggle for life and Its pro-
gress Up to the survival of the httest.
wolves and foxes are classed
among the most retiring aniiuals--

they viii be here in greater or lesser
numbers when the population Is twice
or even thrice as large as II Is TO
day. This latter supposition Is based
upon the fact that France Spain and
Belgium, countries settled since the
time of Christ or before. are still so
badly infested with wolves that the
profits OF sheep-raising are annually
reduced about one-fourth. and all the

only In places where the dust had ac-

TIFF FESTIVE AUTOMOBILE
Man Rideth Forth In The Morning
And WaIketh Back In
The Evening.

The automobile is fine bird but it
sucks blood. 1t has a song that lures
men to destruction and women to vain
pride that corrodes their happiness,
says the Emporia Gazette. Look not
upon the buzzcart when it is red and
giveth stinkum to the evening breeze;
for it chaweth scads and ducats like a
hay bayler; also maZuma and sesterces,
and rocks and dough it lapeth like a
house afire. When the devil-wagon
champeth and snorteth, flee to the
mountains of the Hepsidam and crawl
in a hole; or the old boy will get you
and carry you to the poorhouse. Man
goeth forth in the morning chuggng
and shaking with pride; halo of blue
smoke circleth him as a wreath; he
patteth his belly with pride and saith,
behold, am a six-cylinder brute: even
a lapaloolu am l in my pride. When
10, the sheriff campeth on the front
door of the shop and swipeth up his
substance in a night and a Missouri
mule hauleth off the available assets to
the auction. The auto is a mocker and
the touring car is raging and whose is
deceived thereby should soak his mood
lie in lye Vessels of wrath fitted into
destruction are the devil-carts that eat
mans time and sap his securities and
in the end turn over in a ditch and
make his family into hamburger
steaks. Woe is his name who dallies
with them; even pants is he called in
the market-place who twists the brass
wheel and winketh with the other eye
at fate. Exchange.

Cut The Weeds.

Iowa has a law requiring the destruc
ton of noxious weeds on all highways
and adjacent lands. These weeds in
clude cocklebur, Canada thistle. quack
grass, wild mustard, dock, buckhorn,
horse nettle, button weed and burdock,
all of them enemies of the farmer The
law requires township trustees, road
supervisors and county supervisors to
meet yearly to consider the best me-
thods of road building and weed exter-
mination. Country roads are generally
disfigured in midsummer by high weeds
sometimes of such rank growth that the
driveway is merely a narrow lane thro'
a thicket of noXious weeds. The people
of Iowa propose to change this condi-
ton. Well kept roads, smooth and free
from rank weed growth on the sides
are an inspiration for better farming,
besides being muchtmore attractive for
travellers. Fighting weeds is one of the
most strenuous and expensive tasks of
the farmer. 1t is much more difficult
when the roadsides are permitted to be
breeding places for seeds that become
scattered in every direction The good
farmer who keeps the weeds down on
his land is not getting square deal
when his neighbor is permitted to let
weeds grow on adjoining fields and the
road sides are full of them. There is
no more reason for permitting noxious
weeds to grow than for allowing any
other nuisance.
