On Christmas noon at the home O
Mrs. Swaney at Iowa City occurred
the marriage OF her daughter Grace
to DR.. Strumsteon of that city. Only
few trends and relatives were pre-
sent to witness the ceremony, which
was perfor med by the Baptist Minis
ter. Miss Grace Swaney is we'll
known here and in Audubon County,
where she successfully taught school
for several years. A few years ago
she moved to Iowa City with her mo-
ther whore she expected to study me-
dicine. Her marriage, however, to
the College Professor will keep her
from following her chosen profession.
DR.. Strumsteon has been connec ted
with the State University for several
years, being specialist in biology.
After the marriage the newly welded
couple left for Corydon, Iowa, his
former homo. The many friends of
Miss Swaney IN this vicinity extend
hearty congratulations. Manning

Involves a Big Question.

The commerce court decision in
the case involving the bridge fare TO
be charged by the Omaha & Council
Bluffs Street railway is bigger than It
looks. On the surface II would APP
pear TO determine only that people
riding between Omaha and Council
Bluffs shall continue to pay 10 cents
instead of cents. and In addition be
entitled TO transfers TO or from any
line comprised In our Omaha street
railway system. The overshadowing
point In the case, however. is that II
affirms the Jurisdiction of the Inter-
tate Commerce commission over prac-
tically all theistreet railway traffic ip
Omaha. and II that jurisdiction Is en-
elusive, makes n possible for the
street railway company by operating
its leased lines in Council Bluffs in
conjunction with the system In
Omaha to get out from under regu-
lation by the state railway commits
sion, and probably by the municipal
authorities likewise.
Should this prove to be the sist OF
the decision, and should 1t be finally
upheld on appeal to the court Of last
resort, We might have TO take all our
street railway troubles in the future
to the Interstate Commerce commits
sion Whether that would be a good
thing or bad thing for Omaha. we
are not prepared to say. But the
prospect suggests a new development
In the matter OF street railway regu-
lation. which we are sure was not
in contemplation when the original
application was filed for reduction
Of the bridge fare from 10 cents to
s cents.

powers have recognized Italy's claims"
in Africa and cannot now step in and
veto it's project They are annoyed and

There is grave peril in the situation.

only solvent for such complex situation.

young nation and heavily taxed. Her pub
lie debts bear interest of from to 6 per
cent. Her people are thrifty but many
OF them are desperately poor. She is

Washington,s Proud Boast.

II is so comforting to hear now
and then something good about our
American cities that what General
John A. Johnston says of Washing
ton, D. G. will bear repeating. Cen
eral Johnston, who is one of the three
commissioners who, with the assis-
lance of congress. govern the District
of Columbia, declares that Washing
ton is city without graft. where
every dollar appropriated for city
purposes is so expended and that al
ready 1t is one OF the most beautiful
capitals in the world.
Washington. of course, has no city
council or other such governing bod
les and to this is attributed the alb
sence of graft. This, theoretically,
becomes a severe structure upon such
functionaries in other cities. What
we Americans are hoping for is the
day when such a thing cannot with
impunity be said
But what great thing 1t would be
IL it could be said OF all our cities,
that 100 cents of every dollar set
aside for municipal purposes went
into those channels and none other.
The results would be remarkable.
We would have better paved and kept
streets, better lighting, better sewer
age, better regulation in every re-
spect. and smaller taxes. That would
be the point of chief interest to many.
The Washington boast must be
commendable for the commission
form OF government, for, while. OF
course, congress has It's final say, the
district has a commission and that,
too, of only three men. thus showing
that what some folks say about the
danger of smaller governing bodies
is unfounded.

young country Il IL. after all.
One thousand men from 20 to 90
years old, who had crossed the plains
before railroads we're built. stood up
TO be counted at Salt Lake City In the
presence OF President Taft. IL was
an impressive occasion, the president
thought, and he Joined in the lusty
cheers.
Impressive, indeed. One thousand
men that old in one crowd anywhere
would be impressive and their sturdi-
ness, the sturdiness Of the old pio-
neer, must have touched the presi-
dent. There is something in the lives
of these early settlers, these path
finders of the great west, that makes
for stability of character and indus
try and we owe them much. They did
their work well, laying sure the foun-
dations of industry and making life
easier for those who we're to come
after them. They are old timers in a
land that is not out OF its swaddling
cloths.
But that, splendid as 1t is, is not
the most impressive thought that
comes from this gathering of 1000
pioneers. It is the prodigious growth
and development the country they
opened up has made. Men are still
active in business who migrated to
