Consign these swine to the gibbets!
What! You can't obey because your
ears have been cut off and your throat
slit? That's too bad!" Fiercely the
man laughed; then waved his arm
toward the window, as il calling the
Governors attention 20 the sounds Of
demolition; the abrupt breaking Of
glass: Patter! Patter! Merry little

Governors daughter had made nc
sound. fearful Of Fastening the inevi
table; but at the moment the man,
with last haunting word. launched
forward, a cry. half articulate burst
from her lips. 1t was drowned by an
other voice. loud and commanding,
which rang out frpm the entrance to
the church.
"Sanchcz!"
Perhaps the call disconnected him;
robbed the old servants eye Of lis GER

Political Morality.

The announcement of Thomas c.
Cheney that he would support the
Republican State ticket is what was
expected by his friends, for Mr..
Cheney is a loyal Republican. His
resignation as president of the Pro
gressive League indicates that he is
in earnest in the position he has TAX
en-. Indeed it is much more consist
ent than that of Clement f. Smith
and Rev. Fraser Metzger both of
whom have accepted nominations for
Governor. Mr.. Smith took the
stamp for Mr.. Fletcher in the pre-
convention campaign. and both Mr..
Smith and Mr. Metzger participated
in the State Convention as loyal Re-
publicans. Both appeared to ac-
qniesce in the results of the conven-
ton and their subsequent action
needs explanation in order to square
with the ordinarily accepted code of
political neutrality-suspicious. Jour

Des Moines. Aug. 29.-New Prov
idence, Iowa. has presented new
school problem to Iowa school officials.
The school patrons of that city yes
terday appealed to the better Iowa
schools commission in session at the
state house to assist them in securing
a township high school under the new
school law in face Of strenuous local
opposition and technicality in the
law which forbids financial support
unless all the independent districts are
under township consolidation.
These patrons want township high
school to replace an academy which
they have supported as an ecclesiasti-
cal institution. The relief which they
ask can only come thru an amendment
to the present township high school
law. say the petitioners. and they ask
that the commission which was created
by the Iowa Teachers Association a
year ago. secure this desired change
in the law at the next session OF the
general assembly.
