FAvoRS THE CIRCUIT BILL.
rSionv (Ify Journal

IolOuS Nlly JOQ1 Httl.
The Grout bill ought to pass by
unanimous vote. 1t vii! be little
short of disgraceful II Iowa is to re-
main numbered among the handful of
retrogressive states that refuse to
recognize the principle set forth in
this bill The bill does not involve
any conflict of interest between
wholesaler and retailer. It involves
only declaration in favor of COM
mon honesty and against deliberate
theft. It can not hurt one honest re-
taller The failure to enact it can
help only dishonest merchants. The
bill requires nothing more than that
the retailer shall not Sell his stock OF
goods in bulk without notifying his
creditors among the wholesalers OF
the intended sale. thereby giving them
time to collect their bills before the
stock passes to the hands of an inno-
cent purchaser. When such notice is
not given the dishonest merchant is
enabled TO sell goods that he has not
paid for and let the firm that fur
nished the goods whistle for its pay.
How can any believer in the square
deal vote to give dishonest man
chance to steal and avoid any penalty?
In effect that is what a vote against
the Grout bill means. That so many
of them We're cast can be explained
only by understanding Of the real
principle at stake.
If the legislators can be made to
understand the actual purpose and ef-
feet of the Grout BILL there should be
no difficulty in mastering majority
for 1t on reconsideration. The first
thing for it's opponents to get rid Of is
the notion that 1t gives the wholesaler
any unfair advantage over the re-
taller.

SHIFTED TO KENYON.
Mason City Times].


The responsibility for the delay in
the election Of senator has shifted
from the supporters OF Senator Young
to those OF Judge Kenyon. The entire
progressive vote OF the assembly was
centered upon Kenyon for several DAYS
and he failed of election. When the
standpatters decided to leave Young
and vote for another only four of their
number would think Of voting for Ken
yon and they quickly agreed TO go to
Dee,ner in hope OF ending the senator
ial fight. Kenyon can not possibly
hope to gather enough strength from
the standpatters to win even If all the
progressives again voted FOR him. The
logic OF the situation would therefore
be FOR him to follow the example of By
ers. Feely. FRANKIE, Garst. Funk and
Young and withdraw. and permit the
election OF another.

HOBBLE SKIRT IN WOODWARD
Woodward FnternriSe

From the great amount OF publicity
given the hobble skirt you'd think
every one knew what 1t was but listen.
The other day young lady in a
brown hobble skirt hurried with short
quick steps from the interurban up
town. Her skirt was tight enough in
all conscience. but narrow. black
band encircling it just below the knees
drew it tighter. Will P. Craft had
occasion to go down the street at
that time and as he approached the
young lady he thought he discovered
something radically wrong AS they
passed he still chung to the same idea
Now Will is gentleman Of the old
school, with the politeness OF q south
ern gentleman. It did not take him
longer to make up his mind to speak
to the young lady. and to think means
to act with him. Three or four hurried
steps brought him to the lady's side
Gently tapping her on the shoulder he
said: Excuse me lady, but yer belts
slipped down." We understand Will
