IOWA PRESS COMMENT

Dubuque Telegraph-He Here
tofore no one has felt particular CON
Germ in having everybody in Dubuque
enumerated in state and federal CEN
suses. In consequence there has been
no disposition to insist upon the en-
ployment of trained enumerators who
would get listed the one in ten that
the unframed enumerator never gets
or is too indolent to 60 after. With tho
number Of saloons dependent upon the
city's population listlessness will give
way to interest. The brewe cries and
the seekers after licenses will have
pecuniary interest in complete emu
meration because the larger the popu-
lation the more saloons the council
may license. 1t seems safe to say tnat
with the Moon law on the statute
books Dubuque will not have occasion
to complain that there has not been a
full count of its people. Taking an
other tack, it may even be observed
that here is one weapon for use Dy
the opponents of race suicide. Fancy
such a slogan as this: THE more chill
dren, the more saloons"
Sioux City Journal: One can't help
wondering what would happen II a
Chinaman who also happened to be
citizen of Russia should present a
passport at the port of New York and
ask for admittance to our hosp1taDie
shores without further formality. One
can't help suspecting that he might
find some throuble in getting to

fying some of it's Iowa lines. 1t is only
a question Of time when many rail.
roads will be making greater use OF

power.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: 1t has also
been demonstrated that an all-steel
car is not wreck-proof. But nothing
would be proof against disaster when
heavy train going at full speed,
dashed into it. There is some consola-
ton in believing that the wreck at
Odessa would have been great deal
worse than it was had steel cars not
been in use. ..- .
Boone News-Republican: The News
Republican is beginning to have great
hopes that whoever is the presidential
nominee at. Chicago In June, the re-
rublicans of the country will turn in
together and elect him. r..
The Iowa City Republican says It
is opposed to talk of Roosevelt be-
cause it is opposed to third term
presidents and because it is opposed

in democracy rather than in dictator
ships, If they are benevolent in
their nature. The one reason against
third terms, out to be enough. There
are plenty of men who are big enough
to be president and it ought not to be
necessary to elect the same man over
and over again. 1t would be a sort of
a confession that we are short on men
large enough to fill the office. Per
haps some might want to keep the
same man in office forever and follow
him up with his.

Burglars XIII Man and Loot House.

According TO report telephoned to
storekeeper, Peter Drejko and his
wife. Polish people, who dealt at Mrs.
Bucks store, and farm hand in their
employ, were so badly beaten at their
home, near Brandywine Springs, by
two colored thieves that Drejko died,
his wife had one eye gouged out and
the farm hand lay in a semi-conscious
condition.
There were two young children in
the house, but they were frightened
into the woods, where they remained
until daylight. The mother was found
In the house, almost helpless.
Following the attack ON the men
and woman the thieves ransacked the
house. Drejko sold a large yield OF
wheat last week, and 1t Is supposed
the thieves were after the money he
received from this. The attack oc-
Cured on the Taylor farm, one of the
richest in Mill Creek Hundred, which
Drejko had bought for $4,000.
No clue to the thieves has been OBJ
tanned, but vigorous search for them
Is being made.
That the two men were not beaten
to death Immediately was due to the
wife of Drejko. He was attacked Just
as he passed through the barn door,
with his little son, and the boy ran
to the house screaming, the farmer
staggered away and the colored men
followed him until he fell into ditch.
The farm hand ran to help him, and
an instant later he was lying upon the
ground having been struck with a
stone. Mrs. DreJko ran to their aid,
armed with an axe, and fought the
colored men.
