In the Superior Country.

(by Tdul -. "COOSJ.
The country which borders the south
shore OF Lake Superior and which is
largely connected to the skirts Of civil
iization by the Duluth. South Shore
& Atlantic. is novel one to the trav-
eler, no matter Of what extended ex-
periences that traveller may boast.
Leaving grandeur out of the question
for beauty 1t is hardly equalled and
never surpassed. Especially Is this true
in the fall OF the year, when the chill
ing hand Of the frost king strokes the
leaves Of the forest in a gentle yet
com pelling reminder that shortly ne
will come into his own. and. that soon
he will swoop down from the north
over the waters Of Lake Superior and
reign supreme over an icy kingdom.
Nature dipped an experimental brush
in its color pot when it set forth to
paint its autumnal colorings in this
great Lake Superior country. Bright
crimson shades to pink is again dark
ened to rich brown flecks and dashes
Of gold flash forth from the green Of
the hemlock and the spruce. The
blackened and naked trunks Of the
stately pines arise to give their evil
dence of the soaring touch OF forest
fire which has swept relentlessly over.
and the stumps that intervene tell Of
the uncontrolled sway OF the lumber
lack in the days when white pine was
the richest asset OF the land domi-
mated by Lake Superior. The green
peak of young pine stands forth
hither and yon, beautiful in a sym
metry OF gentle sloping sides and
piercing apex. Mingled between at
startling intervals are dotted the lit
tie inland lakes, shored by these beau
tiful forests, fed by springs of the pur-
est waters, flashing blue and green like
shimmering silk.
Leaving out the matter Of its miner
ais this whole country seems in a
state Of transition. The huge pine for
ests have disappeared ana today there
stands no great white pine timber in
this section, save only that owned by
the Oneida Indians. thirty mile tract
near the border line OF the two great
states OF Wisconsin and Michigan.
What logging IL done must therefore
be confined to maple, hemlock, and
spruce ana even this is fast disappear
ing and the settlements in large meas
ure follow the logging camps from
place to place. etumps dot the land
mountain ash and birch grow largely
uncontrolled. Beneath this obstruction

frankly telling the good ladies In con-

THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES

Several Kansas men have been SEN
fenced to a years imprisonment in the
notorious case where woman was in
weighed into their hands and daubed
with tar. General opinion is that the
law failed to provide a sufficient pen
atty. The average mans idea OF fit
punishment runs from plain hanging
down to five years at hard labor. At
any rate the convicted men deserve all
and more than the law provides. It
was an outra geous thing 10 have oc-
CURED in an educated and moral COM
munity.
But back Of these brutes as an i'm
pelling force was the female of their
particular species. 1t is evident from
the newspaper accounts that the
women were up in arms over the girl
and that their tongues were as whips
of scorpions. They guessed and
whispered, asserted and made outcry
early and late. They drew their skirts
aside like the Pharisee his robe. They
insisted that she ought to be run out
of town. And in time the male Of her
species did her bidding
Those fellows belong in prison but
there isn't much doubt that certain fe-
males Of their own species ought to
be under the same roof. Back of the
fool and brute were the slanderous
tongues and inexorable pursuit of the
scandal mongers male and female.
They are of one species and should
be housed together.

there Is certainly foundation In fact.
Whispers of wild doings at these con-
ventions reach back to the counties and
townships. Whether or not the Cap
itaPs tale Of debauchery is correct and
official there is general impression that
these gatherings which should be Of
the most dignihed and decent in the
state are marred and discredited by
gent who ARE out for hi Of a time"
Some men understand absence from
home as abolition of restraint and the
suspension Of moral law and legal en-
actments. This contribution to every
convention is always in evidence
whether the meeting Is political or
fraternal or on business. Some men
practice getting drunk at conven-
tons where they represent counties or
fraternities or municipalities. They
disgrace them selves and their consti-
tuencies. If the Capital is telling only
part Of the truth it is time the annual
convention Of supervisors and auditors
take it in hand TO repress it's weakness
and preserve its own reputation or that
the voters arrange to be represented by
those who will not disgrace them. The
great ma jority of the officials In at
tendance at these conventions are rep
resentative of the best citizenship of
Iowa. 1t seems to be up to them to
disprove the Capitals charges or to in
sist that other members Of their as
ISOLATION conduct themselves with de-
cency if not with dignity

TAFT TALK AND PERFORMANCE
Mt. Vernon Record.l


If any progressive wants to get
into the Taft band wagon bad
enough to say that in his opinion TAFT
is a progressive that is his business,
but the statement is rot nevertheless.
Taft is not a progressive and never has
been. What Is more he never will be
because he is man who looks to his
intimate friends for his opinions, and
his intimate friends are anything but
progressives. But this talk about his
being a progressive reminds US Of a
little conversation we had with an Ohio
iron manufacturer three years ago.
This man is rated at several millions,
and operates a large manufacturing
plant in an Ohio city. We went to see
him on a business matter, but during
the call the talk turned to politics.
Taft was then candidate for the pres
idency. This manufacturer was very
strong for him, and as strongly against
Colonel Roosevelt. Roosevelt il a
dangerous man to business" he said.
''B 1T Taft. Well, Taft may talk pretty
strong to you folks in Iowa." he said,
"buot we know 'Bilf Taft. II he gets IN
he will not 90 anything that will hurt
US any" This man was a leading men,
Der of the Ohio Taft Republican Club,
and knew Taft we'll. We thought he
was mistaken IN his estimate Of the
republican candidate for president, but
We have thought Of his words many
times since and now have to confess
that he knew exactly what he was
talking about.

DISEASE IN IOWA.

There seems to be much diphtheria
in Iowa, and this despite the fact that
there are remedies which are consider

much typhoid in some sections. And
yet that disease has lost most OF Its
terrors, and the average case is now
controlled by skilled physicians and
watchful. efficient nurses. Sometimes.
however, these and other dreaded dis
eases seem to break thru the lines.
