The republicans have been having
q spirited contest in Iowa in the selec-
ton of delegates to the conventions
this year, but they have gone about it
good humoredly. The democrats, on
the other hand, are displaying anger
and hurting some ugly charges back
and forth. For instance, Earl Bron-
son, manager of Wilson's campaign,
asks this pointed question: How much
money Is being spent In behalf OF
Champ Clark, and where is 1t coming
from?" Mr.. Bronson makes pointed
charge that corruption fund has
been raised in behalf Of Speaker Clark.
He says: There Is rumOr afloat
that Wall street raised 100000 to de-
feat real investigation of the money
trust by congress. Less than $780,
900 was used for that purpose and
the balance turned over to the differ
ent democratic candidates opposed to
Governor Wilson. The sum of $4,000
was sent to supporters of Speaker
Clark In Iowa. This would account
for a part Of their corruption fund.
Mr.. Jamison says he has 1,6O0 men
working for him and he can send them
anywhere on minutes notice. Such
an organization costs punches of
money and he seems to have it. We
would like to know where he got it?'
w. D. Jameson, Speaker Clark's
Iowa manager, denies that he has re-
ceived any campaign slush fund.
every cent that has been spent in
Iowa." he says, "has been spent by
Mr. Clark's Iowa friends It is true !
am in touch with 1000 democrats who
are willing and anxious to work for
Mr.. Clark These men are not on any
payroll. and would do their best for
Mr. Clark without any thought of
money consideration or any chance of
getting any" =.
The democratic managers should
not lose their temper. The two candi-
dates they are fighting over have
enough weak places in their armors
at present without adding to them.

THE BUSY BODY IN POWER.

''He interferred with the course of
Justice as well as with the course of
trade, and set up his own crude notions
of equity against the law as expounded
by the unanimous voice of the gravest
magistrates. 1t never occurred to him
that men whose lives were passed in
adjudicating on questions of civil right
were more likely to form correct opin-
ions on such questions than a prince
whose attention was divided among
a thousand subjects and who had never
read law book through. The resist
ance opposed to him by the tribunals
inflamed him to fury. He reviled his
chancellor. He kicked the shins of his
judges. He did not, it is true, intend to
act unjustly. He firmly believed that
he was doing right and defending the
cause of the poor against the wealthy.
We could make shift to live under q
debauchee or a tyrant, but to be ruled
by busy body is more than human
nature can bear" From Macaulay's
"Frederick the Great"
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1912-03-28

The man who is conducting manu-.
featuring institution, farm, a whole.
sale business, store, a railroad de.
partment, the man who works all day
at his trade, the professional man who
is busy with his clients and continuous
study of their cases, none of them have
the time to read and study every bill
that is submitted to the legislature
Even the members of the legislature
do not have time to read all the stuff
that is flooded upon them. The only
way these matters can be intelligently
handled is by the people electing rep
resentatives who devote their entire
time to such matters. In this life a
man can land do it right learn only
one line of business, and If he Is q
success, he is so busy, that he does not
have time to study the other mans
affairs

CHAPTER XVI Continued.
Athletically inclined though I have
always been, and matched though
was with a drug-weakened wretch
with fettered feet, found myself no
equal for his maniacal desperation.
Back and forth over the couch we
swayed in silent death-struggle, my
, cutoff breath all the while pounding
iunpurified through my bursting lungs,
my brain turning weak, and my sight
| growing dim. I was beaten. knew
could hold out but a few seconds
longer. saw nothing ahead of me but
death--strangled to death by drug
|fiend.
There passed through my mind in
my struggles vivid picture of what
was about to happen. Young would
| silently choke me to death. Silently
he would hobble with his fettered feet
! to where Davis lay in the lean-to
sound asleep and brain him with a
blow He would cast off his letters and
long before the constable would re-
turn to find our bodies would make his
escape on Rouser's bicycle. The mys-
terry of the yellow letters never would
! be explained. Poor Louise
/ Young's hands fell from my throat
and I staggered back gasping for
breath. thought at first that the
strain had been to much for his drug
wracked body, but soon l saw what
had happened His muscles had not
weakened. but his will. Standing over
him was Davis with a revolver pointed
at his head. Even before l had re-
covered myself Davis had the letters
readjusted and the rope passed
through them.
Our lives were saved. The mystery
might yet be solved. despite my fool
hardness turned to the inspector
to express my gratitude, but dropping
the key of the shackles on the chair
where it had been before, he flung
himself down on the floor to resume
his interrupted sletp.
AS soon as my aching throat would
permit me to speak began making
AFFECT apologies for my foolhardy con
duct and trying to express my thanks,
but he would not listen to me.
| ~ guess you'll guard him safely
enough now" he said, and once more
was fast asleep. ~
With something of the feeling of a
chastised school-boy who knows he de-
served far more than he got, sat
down beside the couch and for four
long hours watched the struggles and
heard the curses and listened to the
entreaties of the drug-mad prisoner.
But now / had no sympathy for
him. "a "

AUTHORITY.

where must be authority says
John A. Sleicher in an editorial in
Leslie's Weekly, cor the world will
be in chaos. There must be authority
in the family, in the state and in the
nation. h In the earliest pages of
sacred history, divine authority was
established by the ten command
ments States have their constitu-
tons, and the federal government has
it's fundamental law, framed more than
a century ago by the most illustrious
patriots of American history
Wherever authority is established,
it provokes resistance. The boy or
the girl who opposes. parental re-
straint defies the authority of the
father and mother. The thousands
that crowd our state prisons are there
because they defied the authority Of
the state. Every one Of them believes
that he has a good excuse for his
defiance The more hardened the
heart, the sfirmer the conviction of the
obdurate man that he Is right and
everybody else is wrong. 2
1--WE have preachers denying the
inerrancy of the scriptures, churchmen
soothing at the inspiration of the pages
of sacred history, college professors
challenging the foundations of society
as misplaced, ambitious statesmen de-
manding that the constitution be re-
written and that, at the whim of the
people judges be subject to recall
whenever their decisions fail to please
the crowd.
,"Demagogues rant about . pure
democracy and the peoples rights.
They paint glowing pictures about
things that never have been or will
be- They perplex the people with
problems which they call new, while
they are as old as the world, and that
centuries have not solved. They are
urging the people to follow, the will
O the wisps, and a good many are
doing so. Yet there is not a man,
woman or child in the country who
doesn't hunger for prosperity more

That's the cleverest thing about

malevolent eyes glistened at this

he would laugh at it and tear 1t up.

regulations of some sort Suppose,
for instance, old Andrew Elser, when
his law business had failed him, had
begun to speculate with the funds be-
longing to the boy for whom he was
guardian. His speculations are un.

sees no way of replacing the money

his crime will be discovered and that
he will be disgraced. He can not
sleep nights His brain, constantly
agitated by fear and worry, will not
permit him to rest. His judgment
never acute, or he would not have

yellow letter comes. 1t reads con
