speaking campaign. Nevertheless gov
ernor Carroll announced that he viii go
ION the hustings" and will attempt by
automobile to cover as large section
of the state as possible.
In Iowa, Mr.. Porter is devOting his
speeches largely to the national is
sues. On the other hand, governor Car
roll is making his campaign upon state
issues insofar as they affect his rec
ord. He is pointing out the manage
ment of the state institutions. the
good roads movement, better schools
and similar local issues with which
he has been identified.
1t is not necessary to state that the
insurgent movement has been at its
height in Iowa. Senator Cummins and
the late senator Dolliver,' prior to the
state primaries and Republican state
convention. were severe in their ar
raignment of the Payne tariff bill, the
leadership of senator Aldrich, and, in
short, the administration of president
Taft. Mr. Porter has secured copies
of the speeches Of the senators and
quotes from them literally as he ad-
dresses the voters in various COM
munities.
Liquor Question Prominent.
The liquor question is playing an
important part in the Iowa campaign
And this too, in the face Of an appar-
ent desire on the part of both Mr.. Por-
ter and governor Carroll TO keep quiet
on the prohibition prospect. In Iowa
this year the people will vote upon
whether a constitutional convention
shall be called for the purpose of
amending the state constitution. This

! he found the name he was looking for.
If senator desired the appointment
of certain constituent who had sue
ceeded in passing the examination,
he simply went to the appointing Of
ficer and got a promise from him to
take care of that constituent Under
present rules the appointing officer
may not reject a long list of certified
eligibles in order to reach the name he
is looking for, The rules are being
more strictly enforced and their spirit
more thoroughly lived up to, and while
there is still opportunity for officials
making appointments to favor polit-
zeal friends, these opportunities are
gradually disappearing.
Chances Fer Men.
Men have much better chance in the
government service than women The
list of employees discloses the fact that
only eight percent of the vast army
of workers in the employ of Uncle Sam
are women 1t may be said to the
credit Of the women. however. that
the records of the civil service commits
sion show that they are able to stand
examinations better than their broth
ers- During the course of many years
the women applicants have had high
er ratings on their examination papers
Ihan the men However. this does not
result in a proportionate favor among
the government officials The law
gives to the various cabinet officers,
and other appointing officials, the
privilege of calling for male eIigibles
If they desire, and this privilege is
frequently exercised. Especially is
this true in the case of positions re-
quiring confidential service In for
mer years women eIigibles found it
comparatively easy to get positions a
stenographers and typewriters, but to-
day nearly all such appointments are
made from the list of male applicants
Some positions are more easily Sc
cured than others This is true in the
case Of young men for stenographers
The supply of these has never exceeded
the demand, and the same condition
prevails in the railway mail service
In the more important positions the
supply of the eligibles is far smaller
than in the less important ones There
may be a thousand eligibles for
craftsman. The reason for this is that
eminent service salaries are consid-
erably higher than salaries for like
services in private business, while in
the more important positions the sal
aries paid by Uncle Sam are lower
than those paid in pirate business.

Liquor Question In Iowa
Comp1icates the Situation

Des Moines, Ia, Oct. 17.-While Iowa
is always considered good fighting
ground by the Democrats, this year
they are unusually active in opposing
a reelection of governor B. F. Carroll
Claude II. Porter Of Centerville, Demo-
cratic nominee for governor, began his
campaign at Sioux City on September
20. Since then he has been wasting no
time and is making as many speeches
as possible. The Democratic central
committee has planned its fight by con-
gressional districts. This is partially
due to the confidence on the part Of
the Democratic leaders that Iowa's one
Democratic congressman may not feel
SO lonely at Washington after the
coming November election
To Campaign In Auto.
Although the Democrats are making
a speech making campaign. the Re-
publicaQs are pursuing opposite tactics

Daily Short Story

This dog, Mynheer,' said Michel at
last, came all the way from Dunkirk
where they must have caught it, with
one paw gone and shot through the
ear Myngoti Those devils of custom
officers To treat poor beast like
that! But the first of them who gets
within reach of my gun"
He gu1ped down his beer to hide his
emotion and went on.
For five years that dog has been
with us, can tell this to you, who are
no beast of a custom officer. We make
our living smuggling tobacco and lace
and linen into France from Belgian.
Ny girl, who will soon be back. is on
trip now. 1t is a good trade, but
rather rough on you sometimes
But how did Tom help YOU" 1 ask
ed
1T is easy to hear you do not come
from this part of the country. Dogs
like Tom are trained from pups to
make trips between Belgium and
France. Then they are taught to hate
custom officers and to run away when
ever they see the green trousers
And the dogs carry tobacco?"
Yes, or lace or linen Tom often
made his three francs a day, just like
a man The officers also train dogs
to chase ours, but Tom had good swift
legs and always got away But bull
let travels faster"
A moan from the dog interrupted
him and he rushed into the bed room
and when he returned his face was
pale and he whispered
1T is almost over now
But why this cruelty of cutting off
the dogs paw" 1 asked.
"Oh, they do that because they get
a reward of 80 francs for every SNUG
gler's dog they catch. They must have
been in a hurry this time and proba-
bly, thought the dog was dead But
Tom came back here at o'clock this
morning"
There was the sound of footsteps
outside
1T is Gudule." said Dewachter
It was her. 1 saw a tall fair haired
girl of Is or Il with a strong ener-
getic face She glared at me defiantly
and began to talk to her father in

Tom and / heard the girl sob, and SO
powerful are the tears of a woman
that I myself was moved at the death
of a dog.
Gudule came out wiping her eyes and
Dewachter who followed her said:
Come along. Mynheer, 1 will take
you to Forduyct and find a carriage
lot you.
1 followed him through the downs in
silence all the while thinking of the
death struggle of the faithful animal,
dying in bed like a human being and
mourned like a child by man and a
young girl.

LITTLE GIRLS DREAM
LOCATES MISSING DEED
ChIId's Vision Leads to Finding of
Lost Paper in 'Grandpa's
Old Bible

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. S0.-After
a deed to a house and lot in San Fran
cisco had been missing for over three
years, it was discovered through the
medium of a dream by little Ethel
Lowery, 1O-year-old daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. r. T. Lowery Of this city.
The Lowery family desired to dispose
of the property, but the deed could not
be found. The records OF the property
were destroyed In the San Francisco
fire, and they were unable to produce
evidence to show title.
Hope of ever finding the missing pa
per had been forsaken months ago,
when the child told her mother that she
dreamed the deed was In "grandpa's
old Bible" For several days the little
girl talked about her dream, and finally
to convince her that there was nothing
in dreams her mother dug out the Bible
and handing 1t to her daughter, told
her to look through it and satisfy her
self.
To the surprise Of the family. the
child turned the leaves and with cry
of triumph held up the missing deed.
The Lowery family now believe there
Is not 80 much truth In the legend of
'1dle Dreams"

DOWNFALL OF SLEUTH TOLD

LONG BEACH, Sept. sO.-From
arrested yesterday on a charge of
stealing a gold watch from a work.
mans coat in the Kensington apart
ments building, Chief Meyer and De-
tective O'Rourke say they secured last
night a remarkable confession of this
and other robberies which Wander
was guilty of in Ell Paso, Tex, Los
Angeles, Bakersfield, Stockton, Fresno
and Oakland, as we'll as q number OF
robberies in this city.
Wander Is said to have confessed
that he and a young bus driver of Ell
Paso, Elmer Hudgins, committed sew
eral small -thefts in the Texas city.
Hudgins was not employed between II
o'clock noon and 8 o'clock in the after
noon, and at this time, he said, they
busied themselves at pilfering.
Waunder said he met HudgtnS later
In Los Angeles, after they had "dis-
solved partnership" and that they
stole money and watches from the
clothing of many workmen in the Pico
district, but were never caught.
Waunder said they always left each
workman enough money for his lunch
and his car fare home. In addition to
these thefts. he said, they took $1,000
worth of jewelry, money and various
articles from houses in the same dis
trict.
Coming to Long Beach this summer,
the youth stated, they took watches
and money from almost every building
where workmen were emploed, in
cluding the new Scheurer block, the
new Arlington hotel and the Park
View hotel. From the Park View, he
said, they took a watch, some money
and a pair of trousers belonging to a
workman, which Waunder wore about
town the same day.
Several weeks ago the bSys took a
trip north, visiting Bakersfield. Fres-
no, Stockton and Oakland. In Oak
land they were arrested on charges OF
burglary. Waunder was let out on
probation. Hudgins is held, 1t was
said,' and may be sent to the reform
school
The backsliding of a young detec-
tive Is another interesting part of the
younth's story. Returning to Los An
geles he met another youth, Henry
Poston, with whom he came to Long
Beach.
"Poston had been employed by a
detective agency in Los Angeles" said
Waunder, "to watch Hudgins and me.
He found we were making more
money than he was. SO he decided to
join u.s."
The chief of police and the detective
remained with Wander all yesterday
afternoon, but he refused to confess
or tell anything about the watch
which disappeared in the forenoon.
Late last night he was told he would
be charged with the theft, anyway.
Then he is said to have confessed.
He led the officers to the rear of the
Elite cafe on Ocean avenue and picked
I'D the $50 watch from a carton. The
watch was the property of w. w.
Mcdonald.
Waunder said he thought it would
be best for him to go to the reform
school, and Justice Underwood certt-
fed him to the Juvenile court today.
Poston was also held to the same
court,
