buy them If we didn't; that most OF
the feathers women wear are from
| barnyard fowls, etc. Such argu-
ments are based on false conjecture
and have but little foundation in
fact.
Is it not questionable thing
apart from prejudice or sentiment
whether dead birds really do adore?
Charles Dudley Warner has said that
dead bird does not help the ap-
pearance of an ugly woman, and
pretty woman needs no such adorn-
ment. The little corpse out of which
life has gone, the staring bead eyes,
the rumpled plumage, the poor little
beak that will never utter again its
rollicking song; are these lovely to-
us? 1--WE that never can make it,
yet dare to unmake it, dare take it
and break it and throw it away"
Much has been written on this sub
ject in the past and it seems impos-
sible that any woman who reads the
public press can fail to know the ex-
IRENE cruelty attending the traffic in
wild bird plumage. Those among
you of unprecedented mind can but
concede that the wearing of bird fea-
Tiers. whether native or foreign, with
the single exception of ostrich plumes
has now become a question OF ethice
which every woman must decide for
herself. 1t matters little where the
feathers come from, the fact remains
the same that the woman who wears
one is party to cruel wrong, and
the supposed ornament becomes a
badge of inhumanity paid for not on
ly with paltry price in money, but
by unspeakable blood and suffering.
Let us yield to the better angels
of our nature and rise to the full
knowledge of the thought that "the
evil which we could prevent and do
not is in that degree our fault"
Let us make Ruskin's declaration
our own that II will not hurt or kill
any living creature needlessly nor
destroy any beautiful thing, but will
strive to save and comfort all gentle
life and guard and protect all natur-
al beauty on earth. "

White Slavery
Since recent Investigations have
shown the frightful extent of this
system Congress has passed law
concerning it. and several states have
done likewise. Surely in a state
where women vote the laws should
give women all the protection OF
which laws are capable.
Pure Food Laws
One of the proudest boasts of the
General Federation is the part it
took in securing the National Pure
Food Law. We have a state pure
food law. but so far as l know the
women, the parties most concerned,
have never interested themselves es-
pecially in it. l suggest that the
clubs study the pure food law, as a
part of their Domestic Science or
Household Economics work, and see
ii it is what they want.

Properly considered bird study in
cludes what may be termed the sci
ence of ornithology and the senti-
ment of ornithology. The science of
ornithoiogy may be divided into three
branches. systematic, philosophic and
economic.
Systematic ornithology names and
classifies the birds; arranges the Or
ders, families, genera, species and
sub-species In the most natural man
ner.
Philosophic ornithology passes
from the study of dead birds, to that
Of living ones. 1t deals with the orr
gin of birds and their place in ma
ture, their distribution in time and
space and the influence which deter
mines their present range; the mi
grafton of birds, It's origin, object,
extent and manner; the effect of eli

TAFT DEFINES WHISKY.

President Taft's definition as
to the meaning of whisky in the
pure food law is one of great CONNER
cial and industrial Importance. Four
thousand words were employed IN that
decision, but the gist OF it is contain
ed in the following summary at the
end:
After an examination of all the
evidence, it seems to me overwhelm-
ingly established that for 100 years
the term whisky In the trade and
among the customers has included all
potable liquor distilled from grain;
that the straight whisky is, as com
pared with the, whisky made by recti-
fication and Redistribution and flavor
ing and coloring matter, subsequent
improvement, and, therefore, it is a
perversion of the pure food law to at
tempt now to limit the meaning of the
term whisky to that which modern
manufacture and taste have made the
most desirable variety"
The President thus differs with the
ruling of Chief Chemist Wiley, o.
Solicitor General Bowers and former
Attorney General Bonaparte. Wiley
and Bonaparte had decided that onl!
the straight article could be called
whisky" under the law. The Presf
dent admits in his opinion that tbs
trade has been full of label frauds
but finds that the fraud consisted il
/ palming off some kind of whisky for ;
better kind The remedy he proposes
4 is to require that all liquors be brand
ed SO as to show just what they con
tain. Where blends are made from
straight whisky and the rectified kin,
the label should SO state explicitly
/ But it will be unlawful to label rum 0
liquor distilled from molasses a
whisky.

ARE AMERICAN SURGEONS
SLOW?

DR.. Jonnesco Of Bucharest, the sto.
vain expert, in replying to criticisms
that had been published during his alb.
sence in the West, on his return to
New York got back at the American
doctors by calling them slow and
away behind the times. He criticizes
the operating tables used in American
operating rooms as being uncomfort-
able to the patient and inconvenient
to the operator. He said he was sur
prised to see American doctors still
using antiseptic surgery, which, he
said, they had put aside long ago in
favor of aseptic methods. He also
criticized the instruments used here,
and regretted his lack of the English
language in trying to direct opera
lions. Forty minutes he considered
the longest time required for any
operation. while here they seemed to
think that short time Our doctors
were slow, though our hospitals were
of the best.

MUST RUN THE MAIL TRAINS.
Delivery Of Messages Must Never
Stop, Strike or No Strike.

During the switchmen's strike,
when freight cars packed the terminal
yards and the sidings in most of the
cities and towns between st. Paul and
the Pacific coast. it was observed that
the passenger trains got through all
right; and at that time it was stated
that they would continue to run un-
impeded. The assurance of those
who spoke thus was due to the fact, as
was stated then that these passenger
trains carried mails ANY stoppage
of the mails means the quick arrival
of some impersonation of Uncle Sam
and vigorous, irresistible movements
to relieve the obstacle. whatever 1t
may be, and send the bags and
pouches on their way.
Woe to him who stops the mails.

THE COLUMBUS SAFEGUARD.

The Columbus Junction Safeguard
is forty years old and one hundred
years good. During the past four
years it has been under the owner
ship and control of Mr. w. E. Whet-
stine and these have been its best
years. In speaking of the change that
has come about Editor Whetstine says
in the last issue of the Safeguard:
when we bought it Oct. 1st. 1905,
the business was about as profit shar-
ing as an ice plant would be in the
north pole regions and the paper was
all run down at the heels, and hipsho..
and spawned, and it took lot OF
rubbing to keep it's circulation up
Now it has the largest circulation In
its history, by several hundred,
large per cent of which is paid in adj
vance, and during the past year we
have published more columns OF al
vertising than has been pubhsned
during any two years previous since
the paper was established
Mr.. Whetstine is to be congratu-
lated upon the success that has crown
ed his labors. The Safeguard is one
of the best edited and most interest
ing papers in southeastern Iowa and
merits large reward

HOW TO OBTAIN GOOD ROADS.
Hon. J.. F. Daugherty Outlines Feas
ible Scheme for Permanent I'm
provement of the public
Highways.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
The following paragraph appeared
in your paper of December 2sth, cred
tied to the Marshalltown Times-Re
publican:
Let us say that the roads were cut
to a width of thirty-three feet. That
would give back to the farmer 100000
acres of land, which. valued at an
average of 500 an acre, would make
$40,000,000. 1t has been figured that
the income of the land, at present
estimate would be So per acre. OF
about s5,000,000, which is enough to
support the entire state government
and most of the county governments.
County roads as now established by
law have width of sixtS-sfx feet 1t
is proposed to turn one-half this width
back into tillable land. At an average
of 500 this would amount to $4,000
600, and If this land wdald yield an
average of s12 per acre it would be
possible to pay back the entire estl-
mate of s4o,o0o,oo0 inside OF ten
years.
Of course 1t is much cheaper to
keep up dirt roads when you have
extra width, and especially SO on
rough ground and billy roads, but
narrower roads built permanently
(macadamized, of course) could be i'm
proved and kept up more cheaply than
wider ones.
But as understand the law, If the
county authorities should abandon
this extra width of road the ground
thus abandoned would revert to the
abutting farm land. Now suppose the
road laws were SO amended that this
extra width of road that was abandon
ed under the direction of the county
board of supervisors should be solo
back at an average value of the full
/ appraised value of the farm land:
AUDITING to the owner or owners O
| the farm, payable in ten annual pay
ments, the entire amount to be ex
pended on the abutting road bed TO
/ road improvement If the estimat,
above is correct the owners of abut
/ ting property would have the LAM
fully paid for inside of ten years an,
have permanent road built abuttini
their farms. The value Of farm Ian,
would be increased at no expense
and the s4o,0oo,ooo expended on low
roads would certainly make Iowa a
ideal state and bring about boom 4
farm property.
