It's rather hard to get true line on
political events happening in Chicago
by reading the Chicago papers. For In
stance, an Inter Ocean head this morn
ing says:
FIFTY thousand greet Lorimer on
his arrival in Chicago after victory IN
the senate"
While the head over an article in the
Tribune this morning says:
Three brass bands, 1872 autos, and
about $500 people hail blond boss on
arrival in Chicago"
The only thing the two papers seem
to be agreed on is that Mr.. Lorimer
arrived in Chicago and was welcomed
by his friends.

of enjoyment of idle hours and bring
them into the spring without jaundice.
DON'T BE DECEIVED,

1T has been apparent for some
time" says the Chicago Tribune, "that
old Ma Nature and this young erratic
1911 had something up their sleeves
and were about to collaborate in a
merry jest at the expense of persons
and things deceived by the blandish-
ments of fair seeming February and
the innocent opening of hypocritfcal
March. Ma Nature may be the thought
full, kindly, considerate being she gen
orally is described as being, but she
likes her little joke and yesterday was
fair warning Of what it will be-.
"She is preparing to coax all the lit
tie buds, already opening their eyes on
the world, into bloom, release the con-
fined life from the earth, lead the little
birds into premature domestic respou-
sibilities, and start the whole glad
choral OF spring, and then swoop down
with snowstorms and cold weather on
the confidingsdupes. In the economy Of
nature all this may be necessary as
discipline, to teach the value of re.
straint and control and Of worldly
wisdom. That is an assumption which
gives Ma Nature the benefit of the
doubt.
"But persons who are buying seeds
and getting the spade and hoe out Of
the woodshed should not be deceived,
and persons who are considering the
possibility of escape from the heavy
woollen ones into a light or medium
weight should not be misled.
"This is the season when humanity
is lured from home In the bright,
warm sunshine of the morning and
waits for the snow plows to teach the
value Of self-restraint and home at
night. Young 1911 thus far has proved
to be utterly irresponsible, and old Ma
Nature only waits an opportunity to
enjoy her little joke" y

The most effective way to boost OF
tumwa now is to elect to Office, men
capable of attending to the business
affairs of the city. This is not party
matter. It is necessary for the con-
tinued growth and prosperity of the
community. The city is running be-
hind thousands of dollars every year,
and the tax payer will have to pay the
bill. The longer this goes on the big.
ger the bill will get. The sooner 1t
is stopped and the expenses are put
within the receipts, the easier 1t Will
