OEs MONIES ANo sooow.

A Des Moines preacher compares
that city to Sodom. In the comparison
Sodom doesn't get much the worst Of
it. The camps which have operated
about the city and which seem to have
fiourished until taxi driver ditched a
drunken party Of men and women and
the newspapers found occasion to
make a STORY" And the news story
and its revelations brought out the
sermon.
Those camps were fierce" PROPOSE
tons. but even at that Des Mones is
a long way short of the conception
we have Of conditions in Sodom A
very small proportion of Des Moines
population patronized these camps"
Sodom seems to have been, from all
accounts, a general proposition Some
times in our illustrations we forget the
gerat mass Of decent people in our
disgust and our apprehension Of vile
and disreputable minority Perhaps
the minister, upon sober considera
ton, would find much difference be-
tween Des Moines with its churches
and charities and immaculate homes
and ancient Sodom.
There are conditions that need re-
forming. The strong hand is indicated
wherever disrepute is capitalized. The
main prop to these camps was booze.
The filth which drew the flies and
Matched more Of them was 1.-The plat
form where the beer was sold" That
was what the camp was created for,
The rest Of 1t was incidental. The big
thing was the added market for the
product which made Milwaukee IA
nous and is first assistant toward
making women infamous and men bru-
tai. But when we seek for comparison
it Is wall not to forget that Des
Moines had so far improved upon Sod
ON that the brewers and saloon inter
ests had the fight OF their lives to hold
their privilege to poison morals and
keep little bit of Sodom on the map.
The fact is that the cities Of Iowa
are long way from Sodom. centuries
on In the advancement OF mankind
that we are going on day by day to
better citizenship and cleaner living:
that the disreputable and indecent are
few. comparatively. 1t isn't SO many
years since worse conditions might
have been found in the center Of Des
Moines at the end Of a fye-ninute
walk instead Of seeking Sodom in a
taxicab.
Admitted that lot of things need
fixing in Iowa. the comparison between
sodon1 and the capital city of Iowa is
unjust.

SOME BOYS AND A DOG.
LOGAN Ohseryer.l

A boy is a funny mixture and a
bunch of boys il still more SO. They
will take their dog and subject him 10
all sorts OF indignities, such as throw
ing him into the water. when the dog
does not wish to go In a bit, they will
coax him to follow them on their BIZ
cycles until the poor CANNES legs al
most drop OF, make him chase sticks
until he is nearly exhausted, but the
average boy does not want to see his
dog or any dog abused or killed. AS an
instance: A few days since a man
found Judgement in the county Jail. He
was thought to be mentally deranged
and was examined by the insanity
commissioners and found to be a At
subject for the asylum. The man had
no friends, yes he had one, a dog, a
plain mongrel cur. and after the man
was taken away the dog had no one
to care for him except the boys who
made his acquaintance on the street as
he looked around for his master. The
boys named him, "Morhic Mike" and
he was taken into full fellowship in
the Boys ana Dog League. The dog
being stray. had no tag, and the
marshal started out TO get him and re-
move him from the scene OF his ac-
tivities. When the boys found it out
they were much concerned, but thought

who would not have contributed a

CITY SENSE.

lSlOuX City TrlDune.J
City sense is making progress in the
United States. The city is the battle
ground of democracy and likewise the
hope OF democracy. If we can not de-
velop city sense that enables US to
rightly relate the individual human
units. one to another, each to all and
all to each. and secure for each a
mea surabIe chance to pursue life, lib
erty and happiness, our cities are
failures.
The foundation Of city sense is the
realization that when men come to-
gether in numbers they create values
far greater than the sum total OF their
individual property values and that
these values are and Of right ought to
be common values and belong to the
common body OF public wealth in
which each person has an equal in
terest.
The cities OF the old world have
wisely conserved these values. while
the cities Of the United States have
until recently, recklessly given or bar
tered them away. Students OF cities
insist that these common values are
more than enough to furnish all COM
mon necessities OF light, heat, power
water, parks, public buildings schools
sanitation. transportation and trans
mission OF intelligence. II wisely con-
served, guarded and developed. 1t il
not difficult to believe the statement
The gross income Of the public utili-
ties OF a city Of $4,000 amounts to
more than 100000, and If the net
profits OF each year were turned back
into plant development and common
necessities, such city would be almost
eelf-supporting, II rot blessed with al
income instead Of cursed with tax.
The day is coming and coming
rapidly, 1t could not be otherwise
when city sense of all Of US shall be
equal TO the common sense Of each OF
us we deal more intelligently with
city problems than we ever did before
we demand share Of the power thai
performs each public function and are
not satisfied until power OF the city
or all OF us, is paramount to the power
Of the utility corporations. or part 0,
us.
The public welfare is the supreme
law and every man who antagonizes
this law and seeks gain in any othel
way than as q reward for honest SER
vice 10 coming to feel more and more
its heavy hand and that hand vii
GROW heavier year by year as city
sense increases

mlcnleAN, IOWA AND ROOSEVELT.

full ticket in Michigan is saic to De
causing some concern among ms
friends in Iowa who are also frienos
of the present republican state ticket.
Some of these forsee complications
and the assertion that Roosevelt VIII
insis, upon state tickets in every state
where he has an organization is being
assiduously overworked by the stand
patters and such newspapers as they
are able to influence.
However, it is fairly we'll settled that
Iowans viii! support their state ticket
nominated by themselves and salts
factory generally to all Iowa progress
sives either by reason Of their COM
plete progressiveness or because they
were nominated in state wide pri-
mary in which all republican voters
had part.
1t is extremely doubtful that Mr..
Roosevelt will require that state tick
ct be named in Iowa First OF be-
cause the ticket is a good one. second
because he is a pretty able politician
and can see that such course would
be promptly resented by thousands OF
Iowa voters who are at present Will
ing and anxious to vote for him and
who would refuse to stuAify them
selves by betrayal Of progressive state
candidates named by thems elves. Such
action would result in great loss to the
Roosevelt movement-for as matters
stand in Iowa ii is a Roosevelt move
ment pure and simple built about the
prestige and upon the popularity ana
in the wide public confidence that MI.
Roosevelt personally commands. AS re-
CARDS the vote on electors and the
presidential candidates the vast ma
jority Of republican voters OF the state
feel themselves absolved from obllga-
ton 20 the Chicago candidate but they
would consider orders to oppose Ken
yon and the other Iowa progressfvee
very much as unwarran,ed interference
and as counseling treachery. What
Iowa progressives have gained they
have gained more thru their vote on
state officers than by their vote on
presidential candidates. And the!
know it.
The only thing Roosevelt could &C
complish by insistence on state
Roosevelt ticket and compliance on the
part of his friends with an order SC
essentially bosslike would be to lose
thousands Of personal friends and thetl
votes and possibly to assist standpatters
and democrats to consummate the de-
feat of a leading progressive senator
and other progressive candidates FOL
state Offices and the assembly.
Roosevelt is a good politician. Be-

he will class Iowa progressives with

CASH OR EQUIVALENT?

Of the first moves in the fight the Taft

re election will be an attempt to
strengthen the relations with the re-

the country" During recent years the
ban has been put upon this sort OF
thing. 1t used to be considered legiti-
mate. but since the Quickening Of the
public conscience by crusade against
all forms of bribery, coercion and the
use Of unfair influences such methods
have become unpopular. Many people
are now asking themselves. what is
the difference, so far as principle is
concerned. in hribing a man with
payment Of $1,000 in cash and bribing
him with the appointment to a posi-
ton which is really worth more to him
than the $1,000 money would beg" is
it really wrong for Lorimer's friends to
pay $1,000 cash for a vote for him
while it is right to give an official po-
sition to secure like result?" These
are questions that must he answered
and answered right. 1t is to be regret
ted that President Taft takes the view,
apparently. that it is all right to bribe
with offices but all wrong to bribe
with money.
