5. That night the agents tried !
to leave Pembroke secretly and
without paying the tax. There
upon they were arrested, but even
then they were not put in the
guard house. They stayed at
the hotel all night and my deputy
did not even stay at the hotel
with them. !
6. Next morning. the agents,
Wilkes. and their counsel. Mr.G
B. Patterson, appeared before
the justice and upon Mr.. Patter-
sons advice they paid the tex
and the costs and were then d.
charged. as the law provides in
such cases.
7. Wilkes tried to get out of
paying the tax for the eight
agents, by claiming that they
were school boys trying to work
their way through school. |
thereupon took the matter up
with Messrs. J. w. Carter, A. L.
Bullock and A. R. McEachern,
county commissioners, and they
agreed to let the school boys off
provided J. C. Wilkes and his
brother would pay the tax for
themselves. This they did, pay
ing me $50. which / turned over
to the county and State;and they
paid N. McInnis. justice, the costs
in the case. Of this costs did
not receive one cent.

THE Saloons CHANCE.
[Des Moines Capitall.

The democratic state platform
pledges that If the democratic party
carries the legislature of Iowa that the
mulct law will be repealed and that
every village which is incorporated
shall declare by vote whether or not
saloons shall be prohibited. In other
words, the democratic platform seeks
to turn the hand OF progress back in
this state thirty years. The plan which
they propose was formerly the law of
iowa. Old citizens remember what
those old liquor and anti-liquor cleo
tons used to be. They were the limit,
as far as vicious excitement was con-
cerned. Men would secretly vote for
liquor licenses who would not think Of
signing the muict petition in black and
white. Church members voted for
liquor while looking calm and serene.
Such elections were not a fair test Of
the real popular feeling. Now If a man
is in favor of the licensing of saloons
he must write his name. giving his
street and number. and his name be-
comes part of public record. He
is slow to do such thing. II the
democrats should triumph, there would
be thousand new saloons opened in
Iowa in the first six months, greatly to
the Generalization of the state. The
mulct law is a good law. Under it the
large cities have saloons and the same
are well regulated and the villages do
not have them.

Perhaps in the cleanliness OF Dol

and a student of great men as great

men had spoken. He had sat in coun-
ell with their mishtiness. nor had fol-
lowed them elsewhere. To him the
great had been all greatness. The story
may be without foundation Let us
hope i, is true. It ought to be true
of all men.
An American weakness is to sheer
at innocence in men. 1t is more than
than a weakness. nat1OIeli Iduft we

left IT open to the boy who was wise

1t is refreshing. that story. 1t en-
bodies the real philosophy of life and

failed to envy in his heart the fresh
ness and true manhood Of the boy. It's

FARMER RANKIN.

The career of David Rankin, who
died at Tarkio, Mo, few days ago. is
worth studying just now. Indeed, it is
peculiarly timely that such career
should be brought 70 the attention Of
the people in day when there is
great search and anxiety to find the
attractive side of farming
When David Rankin was first mar
ried sixty years ago he had only S. to
pay the preacher and make his start in
life He died possessed of twenty
three thousand acres of as fine land
as lies out of doors. equipped with the
very best in livestock and machinery,
and an estate estimated to be worth
between four and five million dollars.
He made it all in farming. or rather in
stock raising He is said to be the
worlds largest farmer and yet he sell
dom sold any Of his products. more fire.
quentIy buying corn by the hundred
thousand bushels. He never believed
in marketing the raw product OF the
soil. He could make more money by
transmitting his grain into beef and
pork Rankin ran his farm with just
as much system as he did his bank in
Tarkio and there was just about as
much bookkeeping involved.
Rankin was not only a farmer. he
made business OF farming. He farned
in a businesslike way. To succeed at
farming, he employed the same intelli
gence and applied the same principles
of business that characterize the oper-
ations of the successful merchant. The
haphazard way Of farming is passing,
but there il still all too much of it.
Many q good farmer would be a still
better farmer il he would throw away
his prejudices against pencil and paper.
On the farm, if success should be won,
the hard manual labor must not be
reckoned the whole Of 1t.

Looker-On In Iona.

Chelsea, Oct. 81. = Watching the
growth of our Iowa towns for a period
covering over twenty-five years, these
facts are forced on the writer. Towns
that are content to offer no induce
ments to manufacturers are barely
holding their own. and in many cases
falling off in population 1t is prob
ably true that towns depending entire
~ on farm trade have not as many
customers as ten years ago. The tre-
nendous emigration from Iowa is be-
ginning to be felt in trade circles. The
names of a score or more Iowa towns
come to the writer that are not as
good towns as they were twenty
years ago. Not as many lumber. grain,
and coal dealers. Not as many stores
nor as large stocks. On the other hand
even small manufactures seem to help
the business of several towns. much
more than can easily be figured out.
Previous 10 the death of Senator Dol
liver there was little or no interest in
state politics. This excepting the local
politicians who run things" Even
now the nerve of the voters. the people
are not very much excited over the
question who is to succeed Deliver
There seems to- be general feeling
that the next legislature will handle
this matter to the satisfaction of the
voters. OF course the so-called pro-
gressive element feel sure that Dolli
ver's successor will be an out and out
progressive, but there is no particular
enthusiasm over any OF the names
mentioned. Many times one hears the
voters wondering what Governor Car

20 make many votes for himself and
the republican ticket. if he will publicly
announce that he will make no ap-
pointment to fill the vacancy either be-
fore or after election day A quite
general feeling prevails that If Carroll
is defeated Lafe Young. John T Lacey
or Walter /. Smith will be appointed
to FIJI the vacancy till the legislature
meets. Talking with well posted men
in Marshalltown and Belle Plaine, rail-
road centers, they scout the idea that
the labor union members will vote en-
masse for Porter. Their idea is no

observer said. when Taft was up
for election a labor leader claimed

against him. The result was eighteen

apparent that the election in lows in
1910 will be surprise in many ways

LABOR AND JIM GOOD.

In a sense it is their own bus mess.

CARNATIONS can afford to go into poll
tics even TO the extent of furnishing"
such men in office as do not see their
way clear to vote as they are asked to
vote on every proposition. 1t would
mean the establishing Of sort Of ty-
ranny and holding law makers and
law enforcers alike in bondage. Public
officials must be left some sense of
freedom. We believe that the rank and
file Of the party feel this way about it,
whatever their leaders may resolve.
Every laboring man in Cedar Rapids.
for instance. knows personally that
Congressman Good is no enemy Of Ia
Dor. He has never been unjust to any
laboring man and his interests in this
city are one with the interests Of labor.
The resolution against him was passed
in Des Moines by men who know moth
ing of Mr.. Good. A coterie in Des
Moines can not tell men in Cedar Rap
ids how they ought to vote. We do
not believe it.

WEILMA.N'S FAILURE.
lNeW York Tribune

From the outset the chance thst
Welfman's airship would get across the
ocean was almost infinitesimal. and his
failure aurnishes not the slightest rea-
son Tor surprise. Had the America
Travelled at the rate Of forty miles an
hour, a. Wellman hoped 1t might, 1T
should have been approaching Europe
at the end Of three days. Instead It
was scarcely 400 miles from the start
ing point. and was far to the south Of
Its proper course The airship was In
such a plight at that time that but for
the singularly fortunate proximity OF
steamer the whole company would
probably have lost their lives and the
circumstances OF their fate might have
remained mystery forever. The men
whom the America carried and their
have reason to be profoundly
grateful that the natural consequences
OF such folly were averted by the ardu-
Gus efforts of Captain Downs and the
rescuers aboard the Trent
One OF the most serious questions
raised by this business relates to the
moral responsibility Of the newspapers
which for advertising purposes encour-
aged Wellman to incur risks so accu-
rately foreseen. II. as a result OF their
recklessness, those who embarked on
the America had persisted the jour-
mails which promoted the venture
would have incurred the sharpest con-
demnation. They are not less blame
worthy because Of the rescue In which
they had no part.
