A DRY TOWN RECORD.

What's the use of policeman in a
town like this? Just three arrests
made since the 18th of November. ac-
cording to police court records, and all
plead guilty to mere intoxication.
Someone has suggested that it mig/
be well to annex the police department
to the snow shoveling gang, but Chief
Nickerson takes such radical excep-
tons to working with or under Com
missioner Cunningham, that some
trouble may be expected, before the
chief consents to take hold OF a snow
shovel. But as THY may be, 1t seems
that Webster City is experiencing an
exceptional record in the matter Of the
past few days, considering that the
holiday season has been passed thru
with but trio Of victims.

THE COUNCIL BLUFFS GANG.

Attorney General Cosson seems 70

He says that he had made up his
mird that he would draw hung jury.

that the drag" was SO strong that all

KNOCKING LA TOILETTE.
washington County Press1.

A few days ago a young lawyer was
talking to an old Judge about La FOL
lette. not 4 thousand miles distant,
either. The judge denounced La Fol
lette in the bitterest terms as an I'M
reliable demagog. a few moments later
the Judge began relating his eXper-
fence in the trial of a big case invoiv-
ing the regulation of the price OF gas
by cities. The judge said many eX-
perts appeared before him, but the one
most satisfactory was the chairman OF
the public utilities commission from
Wisconsin, This witness explained the
provisions and workings of the WIS
consin law regula ting the public ser
vice corporations. The judge said al
ter very thorough consideration he
was fully convinced this law was the
most scientific Of the kind extant to
day Then the young lawyer stopped
him and said, that is one of Bob La
Foilette's laws" Then the judge STAN
mered ard said "ah, you shut up! But
the Judge himself did the shutting up.
This is a fine illustration Of La Fol-
lette. Primarily it is the grafters ana
the iackpotters that denounce him be-
cause they are badly hurt by his sound,
sensible and just laws. They own
very large part OF the public press and
many honest people are deceived by
their vicious assaults. If you will
name any paper in Iowi today. either
democrat or republican, that is de-
nouncing La Toilette we will trace Its
political affiliations to some railroad
politician who believes the corpora
lions ought to rule. Yes, the light OF
truth is shining in, and where the facts
are known La Toilette and his cause
grow stronger. The day of the fnitia-
tive and referendum and the recall IN
Guiding Judges is near at hand.

he biped born OF 4 virgin fair.
And into a world OF sin
Into a world of gloom and glare
And iife's weird battle din:
From whence he comes or whittier he goes.
In cycles OF wall and woe:
Is it worth a care or thoughtful prayer
Whether ne stay or 90?
From youthful tarn to senile baarm.
Through endless sylvan waste
Through world controlled by pride and gold
He needs mus make great haste;
through the vale of years and vale of tears
TO tomb from cradle fold.
He must pod on with the caravan
That moves to unknown goal.
Through trellis wove of vintage green
And decked with dew Of morn,
He sazes DER fe's crystal sheen
Toward it's murky bourne
But the fronded shrub and fronded palm
And garlands of and fern.
Are only shroud that veil the cloud
Around life's vernal urn.
But the tosmic poo" from mount to moor
Can ONLY and gaze
While the rich mans hand controls the land
The flowers and the golden maize
The poor man must toll and till the soil
For a pittance day by day;
Is ii strange they curse. and are perverse
To horrors life purvey?
The man is born of a virgin fair
And into a world of sin
Into a world of CLEAN and glare
And lifes weird battle din;
FROM whence he came or whittier he goes
In cycles of wall and woe
Is 1t worth or thoughtful PRAYER
Whether he stay or 90?
