NORTHERN IOWA a GARDEN SPOT
Mason City Timee.1

Northern Iowa il everywhere recog-
nized this year as the garden spot OF
the world. While other parts Of this
and of foreign countries have been Wis
tied by floods and drouth. northern
Iowa has had practically perfect sea-
son 80 far. Crops are abundant and
the communities OF this part Of the
state show prosperity.
Northern Iowa has been entirely too
modest in exploiting the advantages Of
this part Of the state. Iowa was first
settled in the southern part. leaving
the northern part the last to be set
tied. This section OF the state is newer
In fact than some of the western
states. Kansas offered cheap lands be-
fore northern Iowa had an opportunity
to present its claims to the settlers
seeking new homes. Wisconsin and
Minnesota offered special inducements
that diverted the immigrants from this
part of the country. For many years
people came up from central Iowa or

SOME DANCES.

lkeosuk Constitution Democrat
The once noble red man has suffered
much al the hands of his paleface
conqueror. He has exchanged his
hunting grounds for reservations, he
has traded the warpath for the trail
around the bases. In place of the
forest primeval he now inhabits the
circus tent He has bartered con-
tinent for frewater and trousers.
AS II this were no, enough, the
tragic news comes from Nevada tina;
he has sounded still ano;ae. depth of
ignominy. Abandoning his tribal
dances. he has taken up the turkey
trot.
Before this revelation al the old
respect OF the American Indian fall
with crash. Not even tht mos. per-
ferv;d admirer OF Hia iha's people
can picture them in the mazes Of the
1rot without a shudder. a turkey
rrotiing Indian deserves no greater re-
spect than a turkey-trotting paleface
clerk
Why the red man should seek TO
change the ghost dance for the trot.
the snake dance for the bunny hug or
the FIRE dance for ihe grizzly bear is a
mystery While the Indians ancient
gyrations may be tri!le more digni-
fed Than the latest menagerie move
Ir1ents. they are only slightly less bar
barrie than the dances which now hold
the floor in polite circles. The difYer-
ence in savage energy is hardly worth
the substitution.
With Terpsichore gone mad, we may
look for an early retaliation by the
dansant paieface for the raid which
the Indian has made upon his dances.
The snake dance and the warwhoop
will be taken. IN turn. and made a
part Of the turkey trotter's repertoire.
Even at this late date Lo the poor
Indian. can't make a trade without
getting the worst of it

the DAY OF COMMON FOLKS.

Next week begins with the celebra-
ton of a great holiday. Probably out
side of Christmas II is the mos, uni
ve-sal holiday in the world. For every
one who amounts to anything workA
Labor is a part of life. And while the
holiday begins in organized labor it
spreads itself over all the ranks Of
workers of every class and del gree. Il
nas grown TO be great holiday because
of its universally. because II is g day
of from toll and 20 be spent no, paid.
It is everyones holiday. the breathing
epell of the democracy
It is one Of the days when the stores
should close. when the shops should be
still. when labor, except such as may
not be delayed because OF imperative
necessity should cease Il IS good
Gay, the day Of the common man and
the common woman and the the COM
mon mans and common wonlan's COM

Celebrate it. The fact is that il De-
longs to all of US; for honestly and
without foolish assumption and AFRO
CANT conceit we are all common folks,
all of US, who toil and struggle for one
thing and another and who are born
and hold our children in our arms and
die as ali generations have done. There
isn't much difference in people E!e-
mentally we are all alike. And labor
day is the day Of us ali.
So take time to celebrate. Go with

WHO'S FAULT IS IT?

A man and wife. wei known thru
out this part Of Iowa were killed the
other evening while driving into their
own home town. 4 fast passenger
train struck their automobile on a dan
Eerous crossing. The man was in
stantly killed. the woman SO -nangLed
that she died Immediately.
The newspaper account says there
was no signal" There is no answer
10 this except the assertion that there
should have been a signal and the
question why was 80 dangerous q
crossing left unprotected by fagman or
automatic warning Of The approach OF
lightning train? Who was most TO
blame. the railroad which neglected 10
nus guard the crossing, the commun-
iIy which suffers such neglect even aft
er successive Accident or the driver
who placed his car in casual
jeopardy? For the railroad could have
placed an electric warning bell there.
the community might have entered
pro.es, whicn would have resulted in
such protection and the auto passen-
gers might one Of them have alighted
and thus have made sure Of safety or
Of danger.
With universal use of the automobile
the grade crossing has multiplied its
menace. The number Of fatalities at
crossings have isaped TO appalling fig
ures. II is time that the public shall
be protected as well as may De at all
grade crossings where train speeding
a from forty 20 eighty miles al hour
is hidden behind trees or in cuts 10 the
creation of a dangerous condition. The
bell warnings at crossings seem TO
work we'll. Their signal Is loud and
insistent enough TO convey the warning
intended Why are such crossings not so
equipped? To whose neglect IS the IN
adequate protection Of our railway
crossings chargeabIe. neglectful rail-
roads or neglecrful communities?
There is no automatic warning or
anything else except an over or under
crossing which is fool proof against
carelessness But every grade crossing
IN this state should have n electric
warning. every one should be so graded
and ballasted that the chauffeur can
drive over il without that change of
gear which may kill q low throttled en-
CINE and leave it stranded on the track
In the teeth of destruction. These pre-
cautions would save and protect the
cautious.
Men and women are Of different
character from cattle and hogs We
can not afford to have them killed at
crossings We need them

a DEMOCRATIC VIEW?
LM-aiet,on Times Tribune

Il may sound old fashioned. in these
da:s of cen;raIisu, recall Of judges.
the treating Of constitutions as "reac-
tionary" ard all of the other things
that go TO make ap true progressiv-
ism: but the fact remains that the
ruling of Judge Hunter is eminently
sound and such criticism as he is get
ting will not last long.
The federal constitution invests con-
gress with control OF commerce be-
of congress, which IL is as much
coinage and 10 control the regular
the several states: so il II can no. in
one case. why in any other?
The Webb Kenyon law attempted
20 give extra territorial power to a
state by giving it power to control the
shipment Of an article OF commerce
from another state. This migh do in
case of chandise recognized by all
as inherently dangerous, such as
dynamite or other explosives; but
liquors are recognized by federal law
as ordinary articles of commerce.
Suppose a state should find the SELL
ing Of shodcy clothing TO ne against
the policy of the state; could congress
prohibit the shipment Of such fabrics
into SUCH state: Suppose a state pro-
hibited bibles. prayer books or mis-
sais: would congress have the power
70 aid the state In prohibiting she!E
Shipment Yet. in the eyes OF federal
Law, liquor is as much an article OF
commerce as are bibles and clothing.
Il congress can yield control as to
enc thing. why not az TO all? Why
could il not reverse the effect of the
civil war and order that each OF the
states be sovereign and Independent
power?
Taken from any angle. the decision
at Cttumwa is the law of the case.
WHAT will happen to IL should 1t reach
a court each OF whose members holds
his ear to the ground. 1t is hard to
say. and as to which it would be idle
to speculate.

theory that the lions share of the

sound notion that the activities Of the

ROTTEN POLITICS.
rSioux City Tribune


Il NAV be said for Senator Cummins
AT least. that he is doing his best 20
undo the injury which he helped to do
TO the republican par;y--Cedar Rapids
Republican.
Perha ps he is merely following the
human custom Of showing his respect
for some Of the good qualities OF the
deceased.
Bu. really this sort Of attack upon
the senator IS rotten politics. He ir.eo
TO save the republican party. Anybody
with eyes 20 see may see that where
ever his views were taken soon enough
the party is Yet strong.
There would have been no wreck il

minis course. II was when he choose
the Aldrich road that the machine went

and why. The contention that .
larger sum per acre could have been
secured thru opening the deal bidding
sounds as tho it is true; for there IN
small doubt that an association Of
hunters would have leased it at
higher rental and maintained it as
cunning resort. If it is susceptible to
drainage at q reasonable cost, % cents
an acre is certainly too low for a term
which practically amounts to fee
simple.
AS regards the relationship between
State Treasurer Brown and the lessee
the insinuation must be made good to
react upon the legality and justice of
the lease. That Austin is Browns
son-in-law is not to be accepted as
evidence of i'll faith on the part Of
either. But it is always in bad taste
and of doubtful propriety for fathers
in-law in official position to grant and
for sons-inlaw of such fathers to ask
special favors or to engage in trans
actions OF public business whereby
gain is TO be accomplished and special
opportunity and benefit to accrue TO
the son-in-law. That is about all that

This morning the early risers along
Seneca street witnessed the progress
siveness Of the average farmer Of to-
day, when they saw an automobile
drive up the stree, with Shetland
pony in the back seat, a fashion set
by Bascom Huodlestun a few weeks
ago. The driver. wishing to lose no
time, as his forefathers would have
done by driving the pony or leading it,
had placed il IN the auto and whiried
away.
Automobile trucks will no doubt be
common sight among the farmers
in a very few years. or as soon as the
state roads have been put in proper
shape and good roads will be assured
