CHAPTER Discontinued.

What does it Govern" asked the
mayor
1T covers pretty much every avail
able route by which we can connect
the ends of the traction company"
How much territory"
'Oh, mile or a mile and a half,
should say; but every possible right of
way is included in the franchise
And if we don't get it?"
Somebody else will get it, of
course. He will build the connections,
and hold US UP for anything that he
wants.
But it will be no good to anybody
else without what we've got" suggest
ed Van Slyke.
True; but we have got several hun
dred millions involved and can't adopt
a do-nothing policy. Probably ten
millions or even less will cover the
expenses required by rebuilding I'M
der the old or new franchise, and that
ten million has us by the throat"
1T should be easy for five hundred
millions to freeze out ten," said
Rutherford.
Under other circumstances it would
not be at all difficult" answered Hal
dane; but the people are to be con-
sidered in this case. This road was
built as a public convenience and,
gentlemen, 1t has to be- run"
This is hell of fix for men as
smart as you to git yourselves in"
said Liffey. LAS l take it. we can
secure the franchise or we can make
its future grant the issue of the cam
paign; and If we win, pass it then;
and if we fail. take our medicine"
You've stated it exactly"
For myself, I'm in favor of grab
bling the franchise now" said the
boss. 1T means money. Moneys
what we're here for. The object of
politics is money for the crowd that's
in The aim of the crowd that's out
is to git in so they can git the
money. With money we can buy
votes; with votes we can get office:
with office and money we can get
immunity from the consequences.
Even if we're beaten by the mayor,
we'll still have the district attorney,
we'll still have the police force I'll
still be here; so will you Mr. Hal
dane. And therefore, rather'n take
any risk, move that the franchise be
renewed soon as it expires. and
that the grant be made to the Gotham
Freight Traction company I'd rather
have something substantial than play
for a chance any time. l guess we
wouldn't suffer any therefore no mat
ter what happened. Besides, all it'd
mean would be wait for four years.
These reform movements always get
tired of themselves. and then one or
the other of the old parties comes i'm.
Wen he the one"
Il am inclined to believe that much
of Mr.. Liffey's contention is sound -
said Van Slyke at last
'Wen, gentlemen" said Haldane.
what do you all think about it?"
Lets get what we. can" said the
mayor.
And keep all we've GOT added
Cornell.
Very well them" said HaIdane, so
be it.. We are united upon a non
partisan ticket which we can select
presently, with Warren at the head
of it. Mr.. Liffey will see Mr.. Benson
and induce his cooperation Mr. Con-
nell will investigate Mr. Gormly's
career Mr.. Rutherford will arrange
to have the franchise renewed as soon
as it is possible to do So Mr. War
rem will at once announce himself as

would be a struggle which would beg

ODD FELLOWS AND THE BOOZE BUSINESS.

The Odd Fellows oftOhio have ask
ed for the resignation .of Senator l. E.
Huffman, the grand master of the or
der in their state. and.set forth as the
causes for The demand that: He has
been indicted for bribery; because as
q senator he has supported the liquor
traffic and that since Odd Fellowship
Is denied to any one engaging in the
sale of Intoxicating liquors. the high
est official OF the order who encour-
ages such sales does SO in direct vio-
lation of tho tenets OF the order"
In effect the argument OF the Ohio
Odd Fellows is that an order which
refuses to its membership privilege to
sell liquor must consistently rid itself
Of high official who encourages the
sale OF Intoxicating liquors. The argu-
n1ent Is put upon principle. If the sa-
loon business is Of character which
bars the liquor seller from member
ship It is maHifestly one which mem
bers ot the order which refuses fellow
ship with those engaged in it can not
consistently encourage Ohio Odd Eel
lows seem to be ready to accept the
responsibilities Of membership along
with its privileges.
The reasons that satoonists and bar
tenders and those who sell liquor are
barred from fraternal and beneficiary
orders are two-fold. One reason is
- rS-1S Jg hi
among them; that men degenerate
when they remain in degenerate en-
ployment; there isAgreat danger that
they will become al burden or a dis
grace to the order; .another reason is
that the concensus of opinion con-
dennis the business and that men in
cline to refuse fellowship with those
engaged in It. It is not in condemna-
ton Of the men but Of the business and
by reason of what men who follow It
are likely toS become. In the final
analysis the orders which refuse the
liquor dealer membership do SO be-
cause they arer opposed to the traffic
and It's results, not because they are
opposed TO the men themselves. ne
saloonist follows his own business out
side the pale. Nobody drives him out.
He goes. It Is inconsistent for
the churchran 7gho opposes the liquor
traffic in church&to encourage it out
side the church. It is equally incon-
sistert for members Of orders which
refuse the liquor dealer recognition
and Fellowship to bulwaTk the traffic
with their signatures and their in
duence. And that is as true in Iowa
Is it is in Ohio.

THE LAW AND THE WASH RAG.

A Des Moires newspaper editorially
suggests a law to make bathing COM
pulsory. Just how often or Of what
kind and character a legal bath would
DE under the proposed law is not stated
or suggested.
1t is an untinlely suggestion from
Des Moines where according TO the
public press the city water has been
treated with chemicals to destroy bac-
terra until it stingeth the skin like
an adder and biteth like a serpent. Is
it possible that Des Mcines water has
brought about such a general disaffec-
ton towards its use for lavatory pur-
poses that legal enactn2ents are nee
essary to force the population to wash
themselves Or is the Des MONIES
paper in league with the bath tub
trust. the soap manufacturers and the
towel supplyo
In case the Des Moines journal sue
ceeds in placing such g. statute, would
each citizen be provided with card
like a meal ticket to be punched on
proof by tub, shower, and sponge in
spectors? Say a blue trip slip for a.
shower, red trip slip for hot tub.
and a green for a Turkish, all to be
punched with care in the presence Of
the passengaire? If it could be ar
ranged i. would be an unEnixed bless
ing at the statehouse where jobs are
divided and subdivided. But would
it be constitutional under the eye OF
that eminent constitutional authority
who guards in watchfulness the funda-
mental statutes Of the state which he
gathers in security beneath his mighty
wings-Beryl F. Carroll?
Anyway the suggestion applies to
the entire country quite as much as
to Iowa Why doesn't the Des Moines
journal suggest the law to Senator
Kenyon?

THIS YEAR AND NEXT.

Out in the Ninth district the demo-
Gratis are demanding the election OF
their candidate for congress because
he will support President Tafts re-
ciprocity scheme while the republican
candidate is instructed to oppose 1t.
Next year those same democrats will
be trying to defeat President Taft and
those same republicans will be trying
to elect him. 1t is sure a great game.
Altho there are no enthusiastic Taft
men in the whole country it is prac-
tically certain that he will be the re-
publican nominee. Whether or not he
can be elected is another question. 1t
will not be all easy victory as it was
in 1908. The president has dissipated
his popularity amazingly. He has
alienated one element of his party af-
ter another until the ranks are utterly
depleted. Perhaps none OF these ele-
ments is so antagonistic as to bolt but
a sullen disorganized and Indifferent
party spells defeat in national cam
paign.

chance at Gilmore money. Tho pro-
ducts of Marshalltown and tho section
which contributes to MarshaIltowns
growth and prosperity should have the
support of Marshalltown consumers
over those outside that circle. But that
isn't boycott.
The Gilmore man resents the man
ner Of the Greater Des Moines Com
mittee more than he does the matter
There is a patronizing and somewhat
priggish air about the Des Moines
committee which assumes to advise
and counsel as from higher level
down. The advice to keep on farm
ing and pay no attention to manufac-
turing suggests that Des Moines is
willing to run all the factories and
supply all the needs of the smaller
communities. It doesn't set welr'
like the lordly advice of the
pompous city man who assumes that
he knows it all. 1t makes other men
mad. Gilmore Is as good as Des
iOlleS stlu d pISLiSu s4SHN cSbsSA' -
isn't as big (And that's no lie in both
assert!ons).
The slogan of Iowa made goods for
Iowans is not a boycott on Interstate
commerce. 1t is simply the principle
of trading at home, Of neighborliness
and mutual advantage. And the small
town commercial club which can get a
factory should go ahead and get it If
it doesn't cost too much and has the
elements of long life in It. Above all
don't let's get to quarreling over little
things Let's use Iowa goods, encour-
age intensive farming, hunt factories.
increase population, build good roads
elect good men to office, treat our
wives right. educate our children. and
generally make Iowa the greatest as
It is the best state in the union. And

head reduce the swelling and not as
sumo to run other towns commercial
clubs from a committee room in our

KILLING THE OTHER FELLOW

The Greater Dies MONIES committee
writing to the secretary Of the Gil
more City Commercial Club advises
him that the idea that factories are
needed is wrong and that the efforts OF
commercial organizations in such
towns as Gilmore City might better be
be. devoted to teaching the people that
4 forty-acre farm will support as
many persons as are now supported
by 160 acres. What we need is popu-
.ation. argues the Des Moines COM
1nitteeman to the Gilmore club. Teach
them to buy Made in Iowa" goods,
Itc., etc.
The Gilmore City cIub:does not take
well to the suggestion. Replying to
the frank. statement Of the Des Moines
committeeman that Des Moines wants
to grow. and prosper and is taking this
Interest abecause that city can not grow
unless the state grows, Secretary
Tishenbanner Of the Gilmore club re-
plies that some OF the PROPOSE
tons arc absurd and extraordinary"
He proposes to go on seeking factor
les for Gilmore City and suggests that
Des Moines wants ali the factories
while the smaller cities all the in
tensfve farming.
Referring to the made in Iowa"
suggestion Mr.. Tishenbanner comes
back strong:
".As reader Of Des- Moines papers

ing to educate the people of Des

Raising Children.


If person purposes to raise chick
ems or other animals he goes about to
build barns and make yards, but when
one has the most important task in
life, that OF raising a child, there seems
to be no preparation made whatso-
ever
The ordinary home is constructed as
tho the coming of the child was the
last thing expected No playroom is
provided Flat owners are as much
afraid of children as they would be
of fire. Discrimination is made
against them in all high-class build
ings. If one takes his child to a first
class hotel he finds that they are more
afraid of his child than they are OF his
jumping his board bill.
All over the city the back yards are
deeply sodded, the cement walks are
kept nicely brushed: the whole thing
seems to have on it sign especially
erected for the hoys. Keep off the
grass and go to the devil"
It is perfectly reasonable and easily
possible to so equip an ordinary back
yard that a child will find 1t the most
attractive place in the neighborhood.
Rope swings can be put on frames that
are inexpensive and easily constructed;
the great wooden swings are now made
at a very low cost; teeter boards, slid
ing boards, turning bars and play
grounds can be provided with small
expense. While the small parks are a
great blessing to those portions OF the
city where they are located, they can
not reach more than small per cent
OF the children Of the entire city. It is
up to the parents OF the boys and
girls in this city to make the back yard
the physical salvation OF the children.
