CARP AND HUNTERS.

An opportunity is presented now to
make Union slough the duck hunters
paradise it was in years gone by, by
constructing a barrier OF some sort that
would keep the accused carp from
getting back into it from the rivers
when the waters return to its bed. OF
course, the fish trap that could bar
them would have to be mighty substan-
tial, and extend many yards into the
bottom and many rods to the side of
the channel. for the dirty scavengers
can dig like a badger or wallow around
any ordinary obstruction: up where
Will Anderson is dredging above Cey-
lon, they have several times cut thru
the heavy bank thrown up by the
dredge to get back into the cllannel;l,
and so we say, to keep them out
clever and substantial barrier would
have to be devised For years the big
slough furnished sport for innumerable
hunters, but at last the carp got in;
then the bottom was rooted up by the
scaled hogs, then the grass and rushes
went, and with cover gone and only a
waste of water so mud stirred it
wasn't fit for even a merganser's pal
ate, the ducks have stunned the ground
they once reveled in by thousands. Even
the lord of the slough, Chris Godfred-
son. has been compelled to go to his
hen roost for meat Of late years, and
the glories of that once magnificent duck
marsh are but memory. Perhaps it
may not be as practical as 1t appears
at first thought. but we believe it
would be feasible to construct carp
proof sideways at or near the ends
Of the slough Lots OF young cusses
would donate some OF their wild oats

the reclaimed nimrods' paradise. We
are sure, while the cost OF the I'M
provenent" could be raised without an
effort. Mart Weaver, OF Algona, would
give half his salary. we know, to bring
about such happy condition, while
Billy Mcdonald could be depended upon
for any reasonable cash contribution
and weeks work. How about 1t,
gun toters? Could 1t be done?

1t is We'll TO note that Clifford Thorne
is showing Up we'll alongside the best
railroad lawyers Of the country in the
hearings before the interstate COM
merce commission over the proposed
increase OF freight rates. Mr. Thorne
represents the stock shippers of Iowa.

He appears before the commission In
their hearing at Chicago over the west

the hearing over eastern rates. 1t is q
moral certainty that Mr.. Thorne could
get several times as much as the state
of Iowa will pay him If he is elected
railroad commissioner from any one Of
a dozen important railroad systems.
Mr.. Thornes election TO the railway
commission Will be one Of the most

A MEMORABLE TUESDAY.

A DISGRACE TO KEoKUK.
rKanLnL Standard

Jus, now, when the entire country
is irving to solve the problems and
dangers growing out Of indiscriminate
marriage and is beginning to repress
the marriage of degenerates by law,
Keokuk is put into the spotlight IN
most undesirable way.
Hundreds of papers have published
the fact Of a recent Keokuk marriage
which became important news on ac-
count Of its rarity of tye. A woman
was in Jail for disorderly conduct when
a man was brought in and locked up
for drunkenness The police depart
rnent made the arrests on these
charges. and probably initiated them
And yet the police department aided
and abetted the marriage OF that cou-
pie in the city jail when the man, con-
fined for drunkenness. and the woman
confined for degeneracy. summary
agreed xpon wedding. A justice OF
the peace familiar with the character
Of the bride and groom. went to the
station and performed the ceremony.
All these guardians OF the common
wealth seemed to think the wedding a
good Joke.
Marriage in Keokuk has degenerated
below the level of marriage in Pitts
burg. parity because eiia - w
green for cousins and for black men
and white girls who can not marry IN
other states. But marriage is no joke
in it's effect upon the human race and
upon good government, altho such we'd
dings as that in the police station
here help make marriage a farce
comedy instead of a religious rite
Unfortunately the Iowa law Is very
lame regarding marriages and no pun
ishuent can be neted the police off,
GERS who assisted in this last one. Tnat
is. unless the police implicated were
discharged just to give them the
proper viewpoint OF marriage in It's

The Iowa state fair which comes first
is q reliable indicator of public senti-

[Des Moines Register and Leader.]
We call attention to an attack on
this page on the republican candidate
for railroad commissioner, Clifford
Thorne, and on Wallaces Farmer,
which stands sponsor for him.
MI stebbins says Mr.. Tho-ne is
the candidate Of the Chicago packers
and that wallace's Farmer IS making
the fight Of the Chicago packers
Within a few weeks the Chicago
PACKERS held a conference with the
eastern railroads and agreed that the
proposed raise in rates on stock and
nea. products was fully justified
ana announced that they would
stand the raise and enter no COM
plaint. This agreement was quoted
in al! the newspapers and widely
commented on.
Here. then, are Mr.. Thorne and
wallace's Farmer leading the fight
against these rates which the Chi
cago packers had o. KID. and yet as
the representatives of the Chicago
packers. How does Mr.. Stebbins
square the record with his theory?
Does Mr. Stebbins expect anybody
who Is intelligent enough to mark an
Australian ballot TO believe that the
fight on Mr.. Thorne would come
from just the source il does if he
were in fact the ally OF the Chicago
packing houses?
The Register and Leader would
suggest that the friends OF square
deal for Iowa keep a sharp eve on
the sources of the criticism OF the
republican candidate for railroad COM

And in Vermont, that land Of the
faithful, that barometer of party con-
ditions, where majority less than 20,-
600 always foreshadowed defeat over
the nation, the high tide Of progress
iveness drove the majority down to
1900. But this year it foreshadows
defeat not Of the party, but of stand
patism and forecasts the triumph OF
the progressives.
Then. turning west again, the pro-
gressives scored a notable victory at
ST. Paul in the conservation congress.
The forces of private exploitation had
marshalled their full strength. The

A ROAD BUILDING PROPOSITION.
GCedar Rapids Gazette.1
The following Tacoma. Wash, spec
ial is of nationwide interest:
Samuel Hill. father of the good
roads movement in this state and ma
tional vice president of the highway
organization, today publicly offered
s1000.000 70 the state of Washington
as a guarantee that he will build
state highway, macadamized to the
width of sixteen feet. properly drained
and containing a maximum grade of
6 per cent. between Blaine. Vancouver.
Walla Walla. Spokane. Tacoma. and
Seattle, a total of over 1000 miles,
within four years IL the state and
counties affected will give him the use
of 1000 convicts, the cost of their
maintenance and guarding. the neces-
sary materials and proportion OF the
county road moneys that normally
would be appropriated to these high
ways.
IF th4re is any loss Mr. Hill says
he will bear it. If any money is saved
it will go to the state and county roads
funds. He asks from the state and
counties affected only the money that
he declares Is wasted annually in main
tanning dirt and inlpracticable roads.
He guarantees that he can build
permanent highway with the money
lost. thrown away or misapplied by the
state and county authorities. and to
prove this he is willing to post the
81 10000 guarantee. Mr.. Hill is SON
in law of James ]. Hill.
AS there has been a general demand
that convicts be set at work on the
roads, there will hardly be extended
opposition to that part of the program.
Il would seem that the state of WASH
ington is most fortunate.
That Mr.. Hill Will make good on his
claim that he can build a highway out
Of the money usually thrown away no
one doubts. who has watched road
making.
