THE ROBBERY OF oTTUMWA.

Washington, a., Democrat: Walter
M. Harrison writes to the Register
and Leader that Charley Walsh Of Du-
huque, is working teeth and toe nail
for Champ Clark. Heavens to Betsey
and seven hands around, what do you
know about that? Shades Of Louie
Murphy and William Randolph Hoist,
think of it, Charley Walsh, Of Dubu-
que, when the bishop" is the pride
and JOY of old Ottumwa. Charley
Walsh from Dubuque. Why, perish
the thought. Charley Walsh is one OF
the recognized institutions Of Ottum-
wa as much as the Courier or the fiat
iron building or the packing houses.
Ottumwa without Charley Walsh
would be Shakespeare with Hamlet
left out or Hamlet with Hamlet left
out, anyway you have mind to take
it. Why, when Columbus discovered
America he sailed up the Des Moines
river and when he got to Ottumwa he
looked over toward the court house
square and the first thing he saw was
Charley's bald head, and Charley gave
up and said, "Lo, and behold, I am
discovered" He said further, Il may
as we'll admit it; I was working demo
cratic politics, and can't keep out OF
it." And here comes Walter Harrison
and sends him to Dubuque.

4 NEW IDEA FROM THE SOUTH.

Great progress has been madeI IN
the south in increasing agricultural
Yields and in making farming more
profitable. Northern immigration has
had much to do with this, no doubt,
but there is evidence that the south
ern farmers are working alone inteili-
gent lines to better conditions on the
farms.
AS illustrating this new trend In
the south there Is the campaign car
ried on by the State Normal schooI OF
Alabama In one Alabama county OF
giving free entertainments in rural
communities as part Of campaign
10 induce the people to stay on the
land. Entertainments consisting OF
lectures, stereopticon pictures and
musical numbers, varied with all day
programs at which dinners are served,
have been given. E. M. ShacAelford. the
principal of the school, explaining the
plan, says:
"In my opinion, the exodus of the
younger generation from t be country
20 the town is at present the most
serious menace to our general vel
fare. Good roads, moto1 cars the
telephone, and rural mail dSlivery, are
improving rural conditions greatly.
but rural social life does Dot yet az
ford the opportunities forI the com
merce of ideas that an active read
ing, thinking public demands. Hence
the tendency to .congregate n the cen
tiers of population, and hen be this ef-
fort OF ours to afford few social op-
portunities through course OF fTee
entertainments"
The state Normal school is given
the hearty cooperation of the Ala-
Rama state health and medical depdre
ments and other state institutions IN
supplying speakers entertainm9nt
clubs and other attractions. The ven.
ture has not been costly. as most OF
the entertainers donated their services
and transportation was furnished py
owners of automobiles. The succession

factor wherever introduced lin adding

What can I do for you, ma'am?"
John Wilkie, editor Of the Trenton
""Twice-a-Week Tidings," left the
typewriter where he was hammering
out an editorial, and approached the
high counter. John was undoubtedly
homely, with knobby, angular frame,
glasses and q white shirt that always
had smear of printers ink some
where about it.

ooh, you are" John assured her.
IF you can run the thing, that's all

was in panic.
The prospect of having pretty
young woman around the place was a
disquieting one. John, despite his

SAVING THE NATIONS FUEL.


The rapid transition of the United
States from an agricultural into an in
dustrial country Is accompanied by a
large increase in power consumption
and an enormous drain on our fuel re-
sources. If We desire to save our COAL
insists David B. Rushmore in Serb.
ner's we must draw upon water for
power. In 1900, he goes on to- explain,
the coal mined in the United States
was approximately 27O,000,00 tons. In
1910 this was over 5O0,000,000 tons, an
increase of eighty-five per cent, al
though the increase in population was
only two per cent. This rate OF growth
if continued for some time spells the
extinction of our known coal deposits
in a few years. The efficiency Of meth
DDS of utilizing coal for power pur-
poses is constantly being increased.
but we are approaching the natural
limit of coal supplies.
Our principal sources of power are
in deposits of COAL peat and Ignite
in the supplies Of oil and natural gas,
in the forces of falling water and NOV
ing air, and in the rays from the sun.
At some future period we may derive
power from the refined products OF
vegetable growth in the form OF alco'
hol. An important distinction exists be-
tween these classes Of power. II, the
writer AYERS, we do not utilize the
lower stored up in coal, oil, ETC., 1t
lies available in the earth for use at
any time. This is not true OF the power
of passing wind and flowing water. II
not utilized from day to day, SO much
force is forever wasted. True con-
servation therefore dictates that our
water powers should be developed to
their utmost commercial possibilities,
and that our coal deposits should thus
be preserved
The available water power OF the
United States at minimum flow Is ap-
proximately 36,OoO,ooo horsepower
and this can be increased five or six
times by suitable storage facilities
According to a recent report by Com
missioner Herbert Knox Smith, only
6 100000 horsepower has been de-
yeloped in the United States for elec'
trical and other industrial purposes

to the Office. He corrected the proof
and sent that up. He rumpled his
hair with both hands, as if trying to
force decision into his brain. That
seemed to be effective, for with des-
perate haste he seized square OF
copy paper and a pencil, scrawled a
single sentence and sent 1t flying up
the chute.
He heard Edith leave her machine
and go to the chute; the tin carrier
rustled as she took the single sheet
out Of it,. He wiped his forehead
again.
There was silence. Then the ma.
chine resumed it's song. He slumped
into his chair.
Another proof came down. He
swept it's length at single glance.
AT the bottom he found what he
sought, in cold, impersonal type, his
sentence and her answer:
Il am coming upstairs to ask you
to marry me-
well, don't know how I can pre-
vent you"
John hurried to the stairs again,
went up four steps at time, and
hurried the length Of the room.
Edith's fingers were fitting busily
over the keyboard. (She still has the
line she was setting at that particular
moment; it's a curiosity.) Her head
was bent to the copy.
He dropped to one knee beside her
low chair and smothered her in his
arms. He kissed her again and again.
Darling he cried, 81 love you!"
Her arms frightened about his neck.

Keokuk Gate City.-At the Presby-

story was. told at one of the popular
missionary meetings of a minister
who labored in field far from the
conveniences of civilization. He was
preaching one night with bible in
one hand and in the other he held a
stuck into the neck, this being the
only illumination in the room. The
preacher became excited and. appar-
emily forgetting the contents of each
hand, he declared with feeling: "In
the darkest hours of my life 1 find my
greatest comfort in this!" thrusting
forth the hand containing the bottle.

Zone Of the deceptive points harped
on BY the t'ird-term enthusiasts,
the Globe-De ,crat adds, SIS that the
Roosevelt majority in 1904 was the
largest ever gifen republican candl-
date. The little joker in this case IS
the omission of the fact that the vote
for Parker, the democratic nominee
was extraordinarily small. Tart, IN
1903, received the largest vote ever
cast for a republican presidential can
didate. His total was 7,678,90S, while
that for Roosevelt in 1904 was 7,62S,4eo
Third-term boomers on this point IN

total vote in 1904 was only 5,O779ll,
or less than that for Cleveland IN 1888,
