!, ! would like TO be an umpire
( In n natty suit OF blue,
With counter in my fingers
Y And vision keen and true,
Handing out the little lemon,
: Philadelphia to you!
] would like to be an umpire
( Taking in my ten per day."
Calling strikes and balls at random
while the bowling fans all say,
I'm a "robber" just for giving
You Chicago Cubs fair play.
! would like to be an umpire,
Standing proudly at the plate.
Making the st. Louis rooters
Wishing they's never passed the
r',gate, r..a
And dispensing to the Pirates
An unpleasant sort Of fate.
But would not be an umpire.
! When, the scrappy time Is DER,
When authority has vanished rn
And both teams are feeling sore;
For might get what was due me,
And perhaps little. more! "

Since The old-fashioned theory Of cur

given up by scientists. many different
isalves have been tried for skin diseases.
But It has been found that these salves
only clog the pores and cannot penetrate

WANTS THE BELLS TO TOLL,

DIR. George A. Newman, adjutant oil
the Iowa department of the G. A. r..
is going to make a special effort to
have bells tolled in every city in Iowa
on Memorial day, May 80, from IL
o'clock noon until 1905 p. m. He
has sent out orders to the camps in
Iowa containing information and sug
gestions in this matter, as follows:
'At the national encampment at
Rochester last year an order was
passed regarding the tolling of bells
at the hour mentioned in the order
1t is the aim of the hackers of this
innovation to have all veterans re.
main standing with heads uncovered
during this five minutes the bells are
tolling. All over the country the five
minutes will be devoted to earnest
thought of the civil war. / want to
impress upon the members of the G..
A. r. in Iowa the Importance Of the
movement, and request that civil war
veterans in every town arrange for
the tolling Of the bells on Memorial
day."
The Oskaloosa herald., 1912-05-16

as expressed in the statutes of all the
other states, and in exposing us to
war with the Orient, through violence
of racial mobs on the Pacific Coast,
has no foundation in reason nor justi-
fication inFhistory; and is based upon
a theory that would rob this nation of
all right at common law or under the
Golden Rule; which as already seen,
is the basic written Constitution of
both England and America.
THE immediate, practical import,
ance of this question, arises in our
relation with Mexico.
1T is certain that that unhappy
people will never again enjoy perma'
nent peace, until the matadorean quail
ity is eliminated from their civiliza.
ton.
IF we would avoid endless inter
ventions there, we must bring this
elimination to pass.
I'VE are in a poor position to cast
the matadorean mote out of the Mex,
lean eye, until we cast the pugilistic
beam out of our own eye; and we
cannot do this unless the national
government discharges its functional
duty of coercion of peace"
The Oskaloosa herald., 1912-05-16
TO SUPPRESS PUGIIIsM.

Hon. Liston McMillen, of Oskaloosa
has prepared a memorial for sui
mission to the committee on resolu
tons of the republican national con
yention to be held in Chicago mex
month. The resolution covers man.
questions in a general way, but il
aimed directly at prize fighting
which Mr.. McMillen holds is the mos
disgracefui feature in American iif,
that is tolerated today. His proposed
plank in the platform reads as fol
lows:
Resolved, That it was settled
by the arbitrament of our Civil
War, that the United States is a
nation, and not a confederacy of
nationalities or mere contractual
union of Independent sovereign
ties; and this nation possess by
inherency at common law, plen-
AIRY power to coerce peace through
out this Union in the exercise of
what is known as the national
police power; and the President,
as the xecutive head of this ma
ton, and Commander-in-Chief of
our Army and Navy, not only has
the power at common law, but it
is his duty, wherever the local
authority in our nation is impo-
tent, conniving or rebellious, to
intervene, by force of arms, and
coerce peace, by the dissolution of
mobs, pugilistic assemblies, or
any other organized breach of the
peace"
Along with the proposition to have
the above paragraph inserted in the
resolutions of the convention, Mr.. Nc,
Millen has submitted most compre.
hensive and exhaustive argument in
its favor. Among other things the
writer says:
The matter of punishment for a
crime that has been committed, is a
matter ordinarily within exclusive
state jurisdiction. But the matter of
coercion of peace by dissolving or
ganized breach, at the point of the
Dayonet, is entirely another PROPOSE
ion.
There is stone pier in the Con-
that makes it the duty Of
he President to intervene, on local
in case of domestic yio-
ence.' But the man is certainly not
,ersed in true civil liberty that holds
hat this stone pier excludes the
President from preserving national
Ieace and dignity, where the local
authority for any reason fails to dis
,harge its duty. And, in case of a
widely advertised proposed breach,
he President should take decisive
measures, unless he receives assur-
nee of efficient local action.
THE proposition, then, that the
is mere shelter for To-
al iniquity, and protects a state In
he violation OF the sense Of peace,
The Oskaloosa herald., 1912-05-16

ion, with the exception of New York
and Connecticut, showed a decrease
in illiteracy during the decade COW
cred by the report.
In Illinois out of population of A.
493,734 persons, 10 years of age or
older, there were 1924 illiterates, or
a percentage of 81. In Indiana's pop
ulation of 2.160,405 more than 10
years of age, had 66,213 illiterates or
81 per cent In Michigan with a
population of 2,236,252 10 years of
age or over the percentage of Hitter
acy was 3.S, or total Of 74.S00 per-
sons. In Wisconsin, out of cores
ponding population of 1929 81, 57,770,
or 32 per cent, were illiterate. Iowa,
with a population of 1,760.2S6 10 or

SWATTING TIM E.


From rugged Maine to Frisco goes the
cry,
Get out the dogs of war and stop the
hy;"
No living man has quite so much to
do
That he can't spare the time to swat
a few;
No matter if it's only one or two,
Let none get by.
They say he carries microbes in his
wings,
And quite no end of other gruesome
things;
They say he carries poison in his feet
And dances turkey trots on things we
eat;
And peevish folks get sick and blame
the heat
That summer brings.
A swat in time saves nine, the dope
sters cry,
SO up and at 'em, armed to do or die;
Exterminate him now from left to
right;
Annihilate him now. from morn till
night;
And biff, and soak, and swat with all
your might
The bloomin' fly.
NAL Rose.
