Now. as any gray-haired phllo-

no such thing as luck. Perhaps there
isn't. But Billy Wlnslow was not old

Hence his constant observations on
the subject were tiresome.

possibility of chance, indeed. that not

Friends Of "Wide Open" Town Pleaded
With Councilman for V;ndication.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, April 1.-The new city
council took charge in Des Moines and
the clean sweeping has commenced.
For a few days all eyes in Des Moines
will be upon the new administration.
That which has caused most COM
ment and perhaps greatest surprise is
that Councilman Zell Roe chose rather
to take the position of superintendent
Of the parks, on feeding the squirrels"
as the boys all call it. This is the one
easy and irresponsible position on the
council. The fight for Roe was made
by his friends for vindication as head
of the department of public safety, and
because of desire on the part of GER
tain elements to have Roe again re-
store the old conditions in regard to
the police: and the wide open" ele-
ments. Already the criticism is being
passed around that Roe didn't dare
to take up the work again and run the
police department as before, and that
he took an easy way to evade respon-
sibility.
In other respects it is generally
agreed that the assignment of depart
ments is the best that could be made
by the new council.
