A sinister looking man with his
hat pulled down over his eyes en-
tered the stall of Spawn, the great
race horse.
He carried a vial of colorless
liquid and squirt gun.
CHANGING craftily about, he
showed pint of dope into the
noble equine's shoulder.
He was an emissary Of the book
makers. They wished SPAWN to
lose. The dope was calculated to
make her turn around near the
wire and run herself to death the
other way.
But they did not figure on the
effects of an overdose. An over
dose would make SPAWN turn
around again.
They are now in the stretch.
The moment has arrived.

splendid bronze figure of Robert
J. Ingersoll, seven feet high, has
just arrived in Peoria and will be
erected on a massive granite ped
estal in a commanding position
at the main entrance to Glen Oak

prominent Peorians.
Col. Ingersoll, though a native

DIES MONIES, Ia, Feb. S.-A
great state trade school, free
to the boys and girls of the state
of Iowa, is contemplated by bill
that is being pushed by Represen-
tative Farley in the state legisla-
ture. Fraley says he has looked
into the private trade schools and
has found them to be gratis, and
that he wants the boys and girls
of Iowa to have a real vocational
school. So he has darwin up a
bill providing for such a school.
Fraley's idea not only elimi-
mates the tuition problem, but ac-
tually contemplates paying the
students of the school weekly
wages-25 cents a day for the
first year, so cents for the second,
rs cents for the third and a dol
lar for the fourth. And, Of
course, board will be free. At the
end of the four-year course the
student is to receive, in addition,
a cash prize equal to SO cents a
day for every day he has worked,
less a percentage equal to the diff
ference between his percentage on
his entire work and a perfect rec
ord. If, for instance, he passed
with an average percentage of so,
his cash prize would be 40 cents
for each day.
Products of the school are to be
sold at their fair market value
and this income will help to de-
fray expenses. Fraley thinks that
the state will be getting the best
of the bargain anyhow, if the
school can turn out each year a
class of skilled artisans.

More of His Intimate Writings
to dad" From WASH
ilgton.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 4 h..
Dear Dad: Woodrow Wilson
compares our present political
system TO a coat which will not
button up the belly without split
ting down the back. This is the
hOmely simile which he used IN
talking to the Press club the 9TH
err night, at their ''hobby" stunt.
Gov. Wilson thinks it time to get
a coat that will fit. Publicity was
the keynote of his remedy. He
says there has grown up the prev
alent practice of administering the
public's affairs as If they were
somebody else's private business.
THE government, says Wilson
''is everybody's business. And"
he adds, Ito an increasing extent
all modern business is everybody's
business. The old notion that an
business is his own,
and that no one else can interfere
with it, must give way before the
idea that the public welfare DOM
mates even private business"

The Ballinger-Cunnlngham bills
are dead. This is generally ad-
mitted now. Amos Pinchot did
the work. At least, he did a lot
of 1t. He came quietly to Wash
ington and went to see the friends
of conservation in congress. He
soon persuaded the democrats and
the progressive republicans that it
would not be well to authorize Mr..
Ballinger to refer the Cunning
ham claims to the courts. So. Mr..
Ballinger must decide them, or
Mr.. Taft must decide them.
II Secretary Ballinger does not
resign he will be impeached. This
is the cold, bald fact. Secretary
Ballingsr can hang on until the
new democratic house comes into
power. He cannot stay after that.
OF course If President Taft neg
lects to call an extra session the
new house will not come into
power until next December. So il
is possible that Mr.. Ballinger may
remain secretary OF the interior
until that time. But ] have been
talking TO many democrats and
they say that without a shadow oil
a doubt, If Mr.. Ballinger remains
until that date the democratic
house will jump at the opportun-I
ity to impeach him. My inform
ants tell me that such a resolution
would go through the house with
a rush. So there you are.
Sincerely,
RATH.

A CUSTOM STAMP MILL.

Again has our attention been called to the pressing need of a custom mill to test the vast deposits of ore found in this vicinity and over Seward Pen insula.
 We wonder what has become of the communication to the common council asking that body to appropriate a cer- tain sum to help the good cause along? During the campaign they were anXi- ous to tell us what they would do to help such good undertaking: but since then they must have suffered change of heart.
 Those who have the interest of the camp at heart and want to help lay a solid. as well as a permanent, founda- tion should get action and start the ball rolling to have one installed this summer.
 custom stamp mill will do a great deal of develop the quartz found from time to time. and a mill test of a few tons will soon convince any miner whether he wants to go ahead or quit Then again a mill test Of few tons may be the means of many a poor prospector receiving sufficient help from people with means to develop his prospect. an5 in the end the camp. or city will profit as well as the hard rock miner.
 There is yet time to get a mill in here this summer and those who expect to stay with the camp should get busy and raise the funds necessary to have one installed.
