was inspired by the funeral Of Profess

Friday and on the following Sunday

A Remarkable Coincidence.

Representative Ebert H Hubbard
'of Iowa, and Representative William
P. Hubbard. of West Virginia. have dis
covered bond Of friendship which
hitherto had been unknown to them.
Mr.. Hubbard. OF Iowa, was becoming
distinctly weary OF opening his mail
in the morning and finding that a
goodly portion OF it dealt with the po-
jitical affairs Of Wheeling, w. Va.
Likewise Mr.. Hubbard. OF West Vir-
GINA. became petulant every time he
opened letter which told Of the glow
ing possibility of insurgency in Sioux
City Iowa. and the counties compris-
ing his district Hubbard. Of West
Virginia, is reg uiaf of the school nf
Cannon, and Hubbard. Of Iowa Is the
Cummins brand Of insurgent. which is
so distinctly displeasing to the eye of
Uncle joe and his followers. This
constant crossing OF the mail sent
the two Hubbards to the daily sessions
Of the house with their hearts filled
with pity for their misguided con-
stituents Of the other fellow
AS result the two representatives
decided to see Postmaster General
Hitchcock. The postmaster general
referred them to the proper depart
ment.

whom they talked. II remember back

DIRTY DIARIES.

Professor Kennedy, perhaps the best
t fudge of cattle and best Informed man
on dairyine in Iowa made some very
serious charges OF uncleanliness and
"a bad sanitation against Des Moines
mir dairy.nen. The secretary OF Dies
ele Moines dairy company replies In denial
L supported by argument This secretary
ne asserts that Des Moines diaries are
ar more cleanly than those in any OF the
hi. LARGE cities he has visited. 7 have not
as travelled as extensively as Professor
rs Kennedy" he says, but 1 know what
the conditions are In the large cities
no of this country. There never have
1ti been deaths in Des Moanes, to my
knowledge, which were the result OF
-. impure milk. This is proof that the
On diaries here are sanitary. Professor
er kennedys statement that better re-
suits may be accomplished by dairy
~ men thru the grading UP of their cows
is true. 1t is a fact that many dairy
20 men have poor cattle, but te is also
t a fact that many Of them have the best
that can be found anywhere
, The milk purchasing and consuming
1t public will not feel the complete as
n surance OF Mr.. Morrow's argument
y. y. that milk must be sanitary because he
"a has not known Of its killing any one
here. The average consumer of any
- food is not entirely satisfied with a
n, test which may result in an autopsy
with himself or one of his family as
the burden of proof. The test may
:. be conclusive but isn't satisfactory. 1t
I ought not to be necessary to try it on
the dog every morning or take a chance
Ii oneself. And the fact that the milk of
= some good COWS is mingled with that
. of bad ones is not altogether reassur-
dng 1t might be argued that one germ
of tuberculosis or typhoid goes a long
way.
In Iowa as elsewhere there Is much
carelessness and filth about a business
which should be Immediately clean
and conducted with the greatest SAM
tary precaution. There Is lot of milk
sold, presumably skinned or watered.
n which falls far below the low standard
fixed by the statute. All this is known
=; and mas been proved over and over.
o Action. not argument is demanded. The
c diaries must clean up and sell safe and
standard milk. That is the end OF rhe
a argument and the only end. Other
h wise worse thing will happen 10 them.
v Crookedness and filth are criminal In
2 = that business and the man who skins
. a baby's milk, keeps euberculous cows
Il for dairy purposes and makes his plant
culture for disease germs, ought to
be sent to the penitentiary. IN time he
will be made thus liable by law.
It ts useless to charge Kennedy with
:, Interior purpose. The public will be
confident that Kennedy Is telling the
] truth. The better way is to keep
close mouth and a clean dairy.

that the sum of all is a river-to-river

The truth, however, is that Il isn't
of itself a road at all. but merely a
route marked off on roads that already
were there. roads which, owing to
weather conditions more favorable to
roads than to anything else. 1t recently
has been fairly easy to put into good

FIREBRAND POLITICS TO BLAME.

burlington Hawkeye.]
The attempted assassination OF
Mayor Gaynor yesterday morning by
a disgrunrled discharged city employee,
is without doubt traceable, in large
part. to the Wide unrest that ex-
lists turnout the. country aroused by
the assaults upon men in high position
by political agitators. The people OF
the country are being taught by In
ference that men in high estate are to
be regarded as having no moral or civil
rights. that they are corrupt. and
should go to Jail or be punished in
some manner. The burden Of the cry
of alleged reformers is for the political
and moral blood of prominent men.
Long before the assassination OF NC
Klnley the spirit of anarchy had been
stirred turnout the nation by the as
saults upon political leaders by the
yellow press. Mckinley. one Of the
purest. and noblest Of American poll
teal leaders. was vilified numerically
by the sensational press, and his death
has been traced directly to the evil in
fuence of such abuse.
Mayor Gaynor is recognized as
among the nations most upright civic
executives He is honored at home
and turnout the nation for the good
work he has been doing in New York.
But he is public man of high emf
nence. and as such has had to share
the insidious attack on all such men
which has grown popular with the rise
of the sensational political "reformer.'
There is little doubt that the fellow
who shot Mayor Gaynor possessed a
vague idea that in some way he was
serving the people" by getting rid
of one Of the men higher up who
had wronged him.
The time has come for halt dn the
firebrand style of politics.
