what's the Matter With 1owa7

Is there merit in the criticism of
Iowa, which comes from the Buffalo,
N. Y. Courier:
Iowa is the most eager Of all the
states against the reciprocity bill, Iowa
has lust elected q congressman to fill
q vacancy, and chose the winner on the
express ground that he is against the
bill because it is not just the revision
that Iowa favors, after all.
Iowa is the only state that lost popu-
lation in the last ton years, according
to the census. Various excuses and
explanations are given, but they sound
like the talk of children in the light of
the facts. Iowa wants to get every
thing and give nothing. Her men in
congress voted for every revision ex-
cept such as related to their own state
as much az to others and then they
drew the line for opposition.
The matter in Iowa is that the state
lacks energy in the right directions. 1t
is full of freak ideas of government
and drives people out of its limits
faster than they incline to come in. 1t
interferes beyond reason to make the
citizen good by law. It is narrow in
its ideas, as the world goes, and it is
out of step with the nation at large in
consequence. Any state that would
cling to the policy of fencing in the
union is afflicted to the bone.
Is Iowa going to be set down as a
state whose Iowa Idea" was scheme
to have tariff reform at the expense of
the other fellow. and that has taken
to the woods the moment its own chick
ems have come to roost?-Des Moines

More Farm Names.

Two more farmers have had the
names of their land registered within
the past two weeks. Christian Madsen
has given the name of Clover Dale
Farm to his property, located in Ches-
ter township, and Miner Creek Farm
is the name by which the C. ]. Vance
land in Vernon Springs township will
be known.

1t probably Would "Say Things" Re-
garding This Acknowledging
Test Car Proves Equal to an Emer-
gency.
Doubtless there are few who are not ia
miliar with Kipling's captivating story
entitled ".OO7," in which he uses a new
and untried locomotive to voice its in
nermost feeling while it stands in the
round house getting up steam for its
first real work. Naturally. the older
locomotives 'kid' the new conner in
view of its lnexperience. Later, after
its first run behind a wrecking car, it
abandons its prerogative to serve other
new corners, as it has been served
when it remarks to the ''pony" switch
ing engine, ''1'm not going to guy
any one as long as steam-not when
they're new to the business and anx-
ious to learn.
The extemporized switching engin
shown IN the accompanying illustration,
however, probably would cause" .oo7''
to utter few vituperative remarks if
it could sect it. As for the 'pony''-it
would be terribly mortified to see it's
hitherto unquestioned place unsurped
by common automobile. But the
modification of the switching engine
would be mitigated to certain extent
in view of the extenuating circum-
stances.
The Great Western Automobile Co. /,
Peru, Indiana, just had to have those
four freight cars moved in hurry.
and as there was no ''pony" available
it did the next best thing, which was
to couple up one of its own products, a
Great Western test car, and use it in
stead. Though automobiles have hauled
single freight cars, and cases where
automobiles hauled locomotives are fair
ly numerous, so far as is known this is
the first time that an automobile has
hauled 10 less than four freight cars
at once.
Some conception of the tractive ef-
fort will be appreciated when it is
known that ordinary freight cars av-
erage between seven apd nine tons
apiece. The four cars we're flowed
off the loading switch and another put
on in their place. As it was not pos
sible to hitch the ''tow line" low en-
ough on the freight car, it was neces'
sary to place man on the ropes and
chains in order to keep the drivers Of
the automobile on the ground and pre-.
vent them from slipping.
