welt used this machinery in the in
terest of Taft and landed him, now
the president is using it against
Roosevelt. AS long as we have the
system the president cannot be cen
sured for using it, but we ought to
get away from the system. Put the
federal Offices under the civil service
and revise the method of apportion-
ing representation in national con-
ventions, taking from the south the
unfair advantage it now has.

Damages for Alienation.

Storm Lake, March lin the
district court, which has been in
session last week, Charles Traum
has received judgment against Will
lam Boldly for $4,000 for alternating
the affections of his wife. Mrs.
Traum began suit this week in
Council Bluffs for divorce from
her husband.
This is the result of a great deal
of trouble. Last fall Traum at
tempted to kill himself the day fol-
lowing the one in which he began
the suit against Boldly. He is now
lingering between life and death.

The problem of getting skilled
workmen to perform the necessary
work of the country is going to be
something serious in the not distant
future. 1t requires ability and APP
plication to become a skillful me-
chanie, but too many young men of
natural talent in that direction pre-
fer to try the professional life and
as result there is a glut of law
yers, doctors, etc. There are dozens
of young men who would make good
as mechanics and who could get
steady employment at good wages
who are wasting their time trying
to get foothold in the professions.
Perhaps the skilled mechanic is not
paid as much as he should be. 1t
doesn't look like the square deal to
pay a professional man 800 day

The democrats in congress have

Publication of private correspond
ence was Roosevelt's long suit
while president. He should not COM
plain if someone turns the trick on
Ihim-Iowa City Republican.
The correspondence that Roosevelt
published dealt with matters of a
public nature. The correspondence
relative to the quarter sections Of
land that Senator Tillman was go
ing to get were of a nature that
warranted publicity. A private let
ter dealing in private matters is
entirely different proposition.
The law against wife desertion is
one of the best ever enacted by an
Iowa legislature. The man who de-
serts his wife and children, leaving
them without support, is coward
and menace to society. In such
cases the law should be enforced to
the limit. What is sadder than the
spectacle of poor woman with
three or four children in straight
ened circumstances trying to keep
her little flock together, while the
one who is responsible for their sup
port has left them to their fate. The
whipping post is none too severe for
the man who deserts his family.
Col. Roosevelt is running for a
national Office on state platform.
How is he going to put his ideas in
to law? He favors the initiative
and referendum, not on national
matters, but for state legislation. He
fayors the recall, of state officers He
fayors the recall of judges, of state
supreme courts. He favors the re-
call of judicial decisions. of the
state courts.-Iowa City Republican.
Should Roosevelt win by a decis-
i've majority it will not be hard to
convince the politicians of the var
ious states that the things urged by
are popular and when the
politicians are SO convinced it will
be an easy matter to secure the nee
essary legislation to carry out the
popular will. The election OF. Roose-
welt means more than would appear
at first thought.
Mr.. Bryan thinks that the enforc-
ed publicity of the ownership of

if the people knew just who
owned certain newspapers the infiu-

what Mr.. Bryan has in mind. He
thinks the readers of a newspaper
ought to know what Interests are
back of it in financial way, that
is policies and impulses may be the
more readily analysed. For instance.
# 1t were shown that Standard Oil
owned the controlling interest in
what that publication

Dill would be accepted at its true

n Mr.. Bryan's contention in this
natter.
ROOSEVELT AND TAFT.

MAKING LATE MATCHES PAY
cockereIs VIII Grow Rapidly and
Come In Nicely for Winter
"Springers" for Frying.

Midsummer chicks are as q rule
not a success. The main reasons are
that the hot weather and insects are
against them. But late matches will
frequently do as well as early ones
with equally good care. For late
matches set hens or the incubator any
time in August, to have the chicks
come OF In September, when the
weather is cooler and the summer In
sects have begun to diminish.
Cockerels from early fall matches
will grow rapidly and will come In
nicely for winter "springers" for
broiling or frying. Pullets from these
matches may not grow to be 80 large
as spring-hatched pullets, nor will
they lay this coming winter, but they
will begin to lay next spring. and will
continue to lay all next summer at q

why Eaas DOME Hatch.

There are two main reasons why
eggs do not hatch. One reason Is
too many hens with one male bird.
Another reason, keeping the eggs too
long a time before setting them, eggs
being too old. The yolk Of the egg
softens and when they reach that
point the egg will not terminate. In
sending eggs by express the germ
of the egg is started by the heat OF
being closely packed and kept in hot
express cars too long. also by being
kept too long in very warm express
offices.
