SEASONABLE KILLING,

Within the past three days two boys
were drowned at Des Moines, one at
Council Bluffs, two young men at wa
terloo, two at Dubuque, one at Mont
rose and one at Nashua besides sew
eral in other parts Of Iowa not yet re-
ported. All were accidents due TO
careless bathing in streams by people
who could not swim. The news editors
knew that it was coming. They always
look for an epidemic OF fatalities on
the first approach Of hot weather and
again at the opening Of the hunting
season. Just as soon as the open sea-
son for game begins the news editor
gets ready to record the deaths of half
a hundred who pull loaded guns from
the wagon muzzle end foremost or who
blow hole thru their companions
when crawling thru g fence.
So it is on the first hot days Of sum-
mer Young men and boys seek the
streams. Hundreds go in swimming
who do not know how TO swim and
scores are crowned. II seems lAal Lie
last few days have recorded more
fatalities than usual but news editors
say that 1t is the same old story.
Will ever our people learn to preserve
life by just ordinary care.
Next week Will come the killing and
manning always eoincident with Fourth
of July celebrating. Every month in
the year has its seasonable epidemic
of fatal accidents and yet as people
We forget and refuse to learn.

To every church In Chicago there are
ten saloons and the drinking places
outnumber the police two to one, ac-
cordinE to a report of the Juvenile Pro-
tectiye Association. There are 7,155 sa-
looms in the city. "A conservative es-
innate of the cost of maintaining the
average saloon" says the report "is
$1,000 for license, $1,000 for salary OF
bartenders and $500 for rent year,
making total of $4,000. If we multi
ply the 1856 saloons by this amount we
have a total of s17,887 800. Now If we
take the population of Chicago at o.
100000 dncluding every man. wopSn
and child). then it is easy to be seen
that the cost per capita at this con-
sentative estimate, which does not in
clude any profit whatsoever. is 1894"

SYZYGY.
IDes Moines News.l

"Syzygy" used to be in the list OF
words pasted in the back of the teach
ers spelling book, as supplementary
supply to be used when it came about
time to bring the spelling school to a
close. When the list was sprung the
contending lines were thinned as
Calling gun might thin Grecian piia :
lanx. Syzygy was An esoteric word
then. We never dreamed that it really
meant anything. Now, thanks to the
comet, we know what it means. 1t
means-just moment, while we refer
to the encyclopedia once more
It means the conjunction or oppo-
sition Of a planet with the sun, or of
any two of the heavenly bodies" 1t
might be well to add that "epirrhema-
tic syzygy" (prosody) means "the last
four parts Of the parabasis-that is.
the strophe or ode, epirrhema, anti
strophe or antodes and antepirrhema
the choric as distinguished from the
monodic part OF the parabasis" Also
"syzygytic'' means pertaining to a
linear relation--that is. to a polynomial
linear in the variables."
It is profoundly satisfying to know
this. If the comet had not passed we
might never have known. so, after
all. the comets visit has not been in
vain.

PENSION HULL.
ICedar Rapids Gazette

[Cedar Rapids Gazette.]
Some OF the standpatters, who think
a fellow standpatter should hold office
forever, are much exercised over the
political future of Congressman Hull:
They want him cared for; already
there have been suggested a number of
offices, any one of which it is asserted
the defeated congressman might fill.
Aw, cut it out. Let Hull take his
m edicine. Most of the men in politics
are ultimately retired before they are
willing; it's the fate of politics. And
when they, as in the case of Hull are
retired because they ought to be, it
isn't necessary to get them a soft ap-
pointive berth If anything is done for
Hull, let the city of Dies Moines PEN
sion him. The money the capital city
secured from the national treasury, and
thru Congressman Hull as the medium,
might properly be recognized by
life pension, paid out of the citys pub
lie Improvement fund.

None Of US can remember SO far

the year without a summer. One pa

conditions that obtained that year

great deal OF warm weather this

There was a frost every month
of the year. January and February
were mild; March was clustering and

abundantly and the brooks were Ice

THE AUTOMOBILE COMPLAINTS.
ICedar Ranids RepubliCan1.

1f1E 1AOlNJMO6uAE oSh4N-I A<aA@> ~
ICedar Rapids Republican,.
We have lately printed several letters
complaining Of the excessive automo-
bile speeds on First avenue. The first
letter was written by Mr.. Boegel whose
boy was injured and If 1t had not been
for the fact that the driver OF the car
was careful he would have been killed
outright. He says that the fathers
and mothers along the avenue are IN
terror all the time.
Now, there is no need for this. NO
gentleman ought to run, or Will run his
car at an excessive speed along such
an avenue, where, at any turn, children
may rush out into the street. A speed
Of even twenty miles an hour would not
be excessive, but there are many who
run thirty miles and more an hour ana
think they are doing something that is
smart, or that they are proving them-
selves clever drivers. The right mind
ed automobile men are just as much
interested in stopping the Offenders
as are the fathers and mothers. we
are not speaking generalities, but we
know that cars do run that avenue at
from 80 to 40 miles an hour. We nave
seen them. The writer the other day
was running twenty miles an hour on a
bit of clear stretch and was passed by
two cars which were going so much
faster than the car moving twenty
miles an hour that they passed in a
Whirlwind of dust.
Nine tenths of the people who use
the avenue. we believe, use it properly,
but all have to suffer on account of the
one tenth. The police department is
going to chase the offenders with mo-
torcycles, but the policemen mounted
on such cycles will simply add to the
confusion and the danger We would
rather take our chances with the auto
mobile drivers than with automobile
chasers on motor cycles. We have al
ready pointed out how the offenders
can be curbed. A plain clothes man
can use a stop watch and quickly tell
how far driver is exceeding the speed
limit. Then warning with the inti-
nation that the next time it will be a
fine and finally term in Jail, will
solve the trouble 1t will not take a
motor cycle squad with the attendant
expenses. We give this idea to the po-
lice department free of charge We
are speaking, we believe. for practically
every member of the automobile club.
The violators are just a few men who
want to show off.
