Abusing an Auto.

A good many creaks, groans and
rattleS on a car. states a motoring
journal, come from the body and body
work. and many silent chassis Is so
spoiled. OF course. it may be due to
bad workmanship and unseasoned
wood, but there Is one cause which
may affect the very best bodywork. and
that is the careless way in which peo-
pie treat their cars. II they draw up
at the side Of road to admire view
or to enjoy an open-air meal, in many
cases they turn the car on to the grass,
or half turn it on. SO that one side OF It
is down in the gutter, one wheel on q
high grass mound and perhaps the
other in depression in the grass Per-
haps the car is left in this position fen
an hour or more. and 1t will often bel
found impossible to shut the doors OF
latch the bonnet till It Is driven of
the grass on to the road again. This
carelessness means the whole time they
car has been standing the frame has
been more or less detected, and 1t is
very apt to strain the body. so that
doors which were hitherto silent begin
to rattle, or the body to creak. 1t is
always well therefore, to see that the
car is not left in a position which sets
up these needless strains.

plowed in the ground ana Mr.. Qufnlan
thinking this was the road turned into
1t, with the inevitable result that they
were lost completely and as a result
drove into the Floyd river. This how
ever, didn't matter SO much as the
Floyd river was frozen up good and
solid. but being SO completely bewilder-
ed. they concluded the best thing to do,
was to camp right there, which they
did. The horses were turned loose to
drift for themselves. the snow was
scraped away with q shovel and the
whole party working as best they could1
from that time until dark got a shelter
rugged up and camped for the night.
This shelter was made with the aid OF
blankets and the rig they had been
driving. The next morning it was
storming as bad as ever. but about 10
o'clock Mr.. Quinlan ventured out aj
little way to look for his horses but,
could not find them, In fact, so dense
was the storm that he might have
passed very near them without seeing
them, so he returned to the camp and
spent all of that day and the following
night there and all they had to eat
was little candy, but thanks to ths,
settlers5 foresight in stopping where
they were. they came out the second
morning a little frost bitten but safe
and only to find that they had spent
two days and two nights almost with
ing hundred rods of house, the ex-
istence of which they were ignorant so
dense and 80 binding was the storm.
This is related merely to show what
was in store for a pioneer. !,

LAW AND ORDER CANDIDATES,
Harrington HaWkeye1.

One of the things that surprised some
of the local politicians was the large
vote cast in the recent primary election
in Des Mofnes county for George Cos
son for attorney general. He Is the
author of the much-talked-of Cosson
laws requiring public officials to OBJ
serve their oaths OF office and perform
their duties as defined by the statutes
and the courts. It was sought to cast
odium upon him in Burlington and VI
cinity because he obeys the constitution
and laws OF Iowa and seeks TO enforce
various statutes, some OF which the
gamblers and libertines, and certain
class Of property owners, do not like.
Not liking such enactments their idea
is they ought to be enforced. And
there was the further idea extant that
such views were popular in the COM
munity and that Cosson would be the
worst neglected man on the ticket. But
It did not turn out that way. Cosson
ran ahead OF candidates on both the re-
publican and democrat tickets, in the
city and In the country.
The returns were an eye opened to
truculent politicians. The election
demonstrated that the great majority
of the voters believe in honesty and de-
cency in office, fair play, and no favors
to anyone All citizens look alike TO
the law. That is the only way to main
tain free institutions and popular gov
eminent. He who whines because he
cannot be in an exempt class. to obey

state wide primary held by command
OF q state law is stolen money is on
an equality with other baseless and I'M
truthful statements which are being
banded about between standpat and
corporation organs in slanderous and
mendacious attempt to accomplish the
repeal of the law which has put every
voter on an equality. Moreover, the
statement that nine out of ten OF the
best papers in the state demand Its
appeal is torn out of the same cloth
and is as untruthful as the other state
ments made.
The attack Is not made upon the de-
fects of the statewide primary, the
minor defects which can readily be
remedied but upon the principle of
voting in Hooppole township and hav-
ing the vote count at the capital of the
state. That is what is and has been
the secret of the intense hostility
shown toward the primary by the pow
ers which furnish the records for the
phonograph press of the state. The
primary conveys back to the voter the
power which the interests have grown
to consider vested rights of their own.
And it has had to face every trick and
treachery in order to survive
However, It IS here to stay until su-
perceded by another and better system
of counting every vote cast for and
against nomination. Deceit. lying, and
outrage will not prevail against it.

To Maintain Nitrogen.

Nitrogen must be maintained by le-
gume crops, and the best legume for
the corn belt is clover. The clover
crop should be left on the ground. II
removed, not much, il any nitrogen is
added to the soil. II the crop is re-
moved and fed to average livestock and
the manure given average care and
hauled back to the field, the loss is
nearly one-half Of the plant food and
rhree-fourth Of the organic matter. II
a good crop of clover is left on the
ground once every three or four years
nriy the seeds being removed, 1t will
supply sufficient nitrogen for quits
large grain crops.

IN EMULATION OF ANANIAs.

The concerted attack on the pri-
mary law born Of the desire of the old
gang to get back to the old caucus sys-
tenn which brought such excellent re-
s,,its from a corporation point of view,
leads men in to the error of ignorance
or into competition with Ananias. The
Marion Register is the latest to chal-
lenge the supremacy of that notorious
biblical character who holds the worlds
record for mendacity. The Register
says:
1t is reasonably safe to say that there
is not In Iowa a newspaper today that
Is in favor of the so-called primary. 1t
is a thoroughly and universally dis
credited measure. Even the Cedar
Rauids Gazette, the MarshalltoWn T.-R.
the Register and Leader and the Sioux
City Tribune no longer defend it with
nnie in ten Of the best papers Of the
state vigorously demand its appeal.
There is just one tL:ng to do: repeal.
and then if it were possible the men
respon sible should be compelled to
make good the looted treasures. Every
dollar taken therefrom to pay the ex-
penses Of the primary contests of 1908
1910 was Illegal, stolen
The truth is that the Registers as
sertions are untrue. Speaking for it
self the Times-Republican is as solidly
behind the state wide primary as 1t has
ever been-and that Is going some. II
Ian never ceased to defend 1t and
from irs reading Of the other Journals
mentioned by the Register IS Convinced
that none Of them have ceased to de.
fend or have in any way repudiated the
system.
