lHawk-Eye State Has the Champion
Polite Man In Fort Madison
Resident. Says a New
York Paper.
WAS STRUCK BY AUTO
Peter Branahan Begged Auto Drivers
Pardon for Being Careless
and Then Smoked up
Together.

This grand old Hawkeye state has
never been accused of devoting its
energy to the erection and mainte-
nance of skyscraper buildings, but
when it comes to proficiency in the
higher arts or any other refined at
tainments Iowa can give them all
cards and spades and from a striped
deck at that. Not so very long ago
an Iowa man, residing a few miles
from keokuk, was knocked down and
badly mussed up by an automobile
chauffeur The knocked down party
promptly begged the chauffeur's par
don for being in his road and this
causes the New York Post. whose
home is in the land of the skyscrap-
ers, to expostulate as follows:
Iowa not only has the record for
the least amount of illiteracy but
probably deserves recognition as the
politest state in the union. AT all
events. it would be difficult, il not
impossible. to match in any other
commonwealth an incident reported
from Fort Madison, which is appar-
entity the Tulleries of the Hawkeye
state. One Peter Branahan was run
down by an automobile, Although he
was unhurt, and, therefore able to
speak, he did not begin to address the
occupant of the car in unparliamen-
tary language; as the unpublished
citizens of any other state would GER
tainly have done. but on the contrary
offered his apologies for having been
in the way of the machine. His
courteous expressions were as gra-
ciously received. and to crown the
episode. DR.. Philpott, who was driv-
ing the automobile, bought a cigar
and presented it to him. The men
parted with words of warm admira-
ton for each others good manners.
! When such things as this are hap
I penfng in Iowa, We dare say, every
/ day, what should be the feelings of
/ the rest of US. living as we do, in
communities which require the carry
ing of number in conspicuous
place by every automobile for the sole
purpose of enabling an offended and
mannerless person to identify the OBJ
! ject of his wrath9 There is but one
reason for this requirement concern
ing a number and that is, or rather
ought to be that a victim who is so
seriously hurt as to be unable to
apologize at the time of the accident
may in this way find ont to whom he
should mail his regrets /"
