Munieip.l eox.rnn.nt tn Iowa.

1T may be asserted that there has
been nothing unusual in the history
of municipal administration in Iowa
The results here have been typical
no better and no worse than In other
American Jurisdictions. To be sure
there is nothing in Iowa to paralei the
sensational stories of mis-goverRment
furnished by such cities as New York,
Philadelphia, st. Louis and San Fran
cisco. At the same time the municipal
tiles OF Iowa from the smallest lncor-
porated towns to the largest cities
OF the first class have their own re-
cord of lnefficiency and petty grating.
1t Is, moreover. an erroneous notion
commonly entertained that in muniei-
pal affairs NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and
crookedness are largely If not wholly
confined to the larger cities. Whereas,
IL the evils Of partisanship, incOmpe-
tency. and petty grating in the towns
and cities of Iowa could be massed.
the facts and figures would be no less
appalling, Indeed. the enormous waste
resulting from inefficiency in admin
istration would alone furnish surpris-
ing totals. To be more specific. 1t may
be said that the. cities OF Iowa large
and small have suffered not a little
from machine politics and from nearly
every form of municipal corruption,
but most of all from Inefficient and in
competent administration. From Com

Folk Lor. Of tn. Fox Indians.

1t is not necessary to go back to
the ancient Greeks or Romans for
interesting myths and legends. In
Tama county, almost in the center
Of the state of Iowa. there is a group
Of people who have a mythology OF
folk lore that is as charming as that
of the Grecians. These people are
the MeskWaki Indians. remnant OF
the Fox tribe. The Foxes, together
with the Sacs with whom they were
confederated. formerly lived in east
central Iowa. and it was the Sacs
and Foxes who In 1893 coded the
famous Black Hawk Purchase to the
United States government and thus
opened up eastern Iowa to white
settlement. In the January number
of "The Iowa journal Of History and
Politics." published at Iowa City by
the State Historical Society of Iowa,
there are some Notes on the Fox
Indians written by William Jones
who was himself a member OF the
Fox tribe. In these notes may he
found many of the myths and leg
ends as we'll as descriptions OF the
customs, ceremonies. and beliefs OF
these Indians who have played such
an important part In Iowa history
