Us Warsaw ever to have summer
hotel?' asked an enraptured visitor
the past week. after viewing the town.
Said she: You have a beautiful
park, you have many health-giving
springs nearby, and beautiful site
on corner opposite the park occupied
BY former hotel upon which roomy,
airy up-todate hotel with all modern
improvements could be erected and on
completion would be filled the whole
summer long, yes, and part of the win
ter. BY means of hydraulic ram,
spring water could be pumped to the
house and grounds and a fountain
erected on the lawn. A garage and
stables would have to be maintained
in connection with the hotel, and
would aid In making it paying invest
ment. At the tooth of Fourth street
motor and row boats could be handy
for use of guests, and X trolley plat
form could be erected for the con-
venience Of guests and the public
generally" "Oh,' said this progress
sive wide awake little woman. II wish

I'd show you" What prompted these
suggestions was recent visit this
lady made to one of the towns of this
county where she saw something near
her ideal, and said at once, that War
saw could have better one. The
lady thought Warsaw ought to be
alert as to It's advantages as sum-
mer resort town, at once, and be
ready for the blessings that might
come to 1t when 1t becomes more
widely known because of the great
water power only few miles north.
Mrs. T. A. Robbins Of Hannibal,
Mo-, formerly forelady at the shoe
factory, is here visiting friends.
Warsaw was victor, Sunday, over
the Eagles OF Keokuk, the score be-
ing II to 4. Warsaw's head is not
swollen bit by her baseball victories,
but wears her honors easily. There
will be game next Sunday.
Mrs. Frank Neither and daughter,
Frances, are here visiting relatives.
Miss Leila Mattern Of Alexandria,

BARGAINS IN OFFICES.

The complaint is made in the State
of Washington that President Wilson
is trading office for support. Or. rather
that he is Withholding an appointment
that is Objectionable 20 Senator from
that State in order to retain the support
OF that Senator for his tariff revision
bill. The desertion Of the two Senators
from Louisiana from the Democratic
side in this tariff legislation. and the
probable desertion Of Senator from
either Nevada, Colorado or Montana
makes 1t imperative for the President
TO retain the support of Senator Poin-
dexter in connection with the Demo
Gratis in supporting the Wilson Under
wood tariff bill.
The matter in controversy is the ap.

ing the much-cherishcd tariff revision
bill. II seems that Poindexter
is much opposed to Chadwick, and that
he is determined TO defeat Chadwick g
appointment; and so Senator Poindexter
makes himself solid with President
Wilson by supporting the tariff bill and
getting as his reward the withholding
Of the appointment of Mr.. Chadwick,
since President Wilson needs Senator
PoindeXter's S tariff bill vote.
Trafficking and bargaining for votes
is held by the Eastern newspapers that
are supporting President Wilson as
something utterly beneath him, thing
that he could not do. They take no no.

but upon the State.

THE "END-SEAT HOG"

A brisk discussion Of the "end-hog
seat; business has sprung up in the
East. Mayor Gaynor precipitated q
discussion of the alleged end.seat.hoe
nuisance by suggesting an ordinance
against the use of the end seat by the
end"seat hog.
Thereupon ensued brisk discussion
of the whole business. 1t was held
primarily that the persons who COM
planned about the end-seat-hog make
that complaint because they wanted
the seat for themselves; that is, they
wanted TO be endseat-hogs instead of
the other fellows. 1t is pointed out
further that the one who first gets in
and occupies the end seat will, in the
reckoning of probabilities be the fist
to get out; therefore, his occupation of
the seat makes it easier and more COM
Portable all around. In response to the
complaint that women, children and
others have difficulty in scrambline
over the feet and legs of the end-seat-
hog, it is replied that If the end.seat-
hog is driven to further seat, and has
to scramble out over the knees and
feet of the women and children, the
condition is even worse than if they
had to scramble IN the first place over
the end-seat-hog.
1t is urged, further, that the first
conner is entitled to his preference, aud
has the right to seat himself where he
can be best accommodated. 1t may be
seat that is out of the sun, and there
fore desirable, or he may want to note
the landmarks along the stree. as ipdi-
eating where he wants to go, and would
be unable TO do this from any other
seat than the end seat; and, as stated
since he is the first to get in he is
likely TO be the first also TO get out
And in this connection the "toe. .steD-
ping hog is introduced, as showing
that it is just rs clumsy for a man 10
scramble over row Of people in get
ting out as it is for the incomers TO
scramble over him in getting in
The general proposition that the
first arrival is justified in taking the
seat that he prefers, and that no opc
has any business To try TO crowd him
out of it or TO shame him out Of il. is
undopbtedly true proposition. And
Il New York newspaper which urges
this view sarcastically saws that it be-
lieves - everybody should leave the best
seat to somebody else, but the :ncon.
venience in climbing over tat person
is not greater than in being climbed
over by him. -
And so the battle of words appears
TO be about drawn. In the meantime,
the one who first gets IN is pretty GER
tain to take the seat that suits him
best, or that is the most convenient;
and his right TO do this is certainly as
good as the right OF the later conner to
oust bfm so that the new man can bet
ter suit himself

FIRE LOSSES IN MAY.

1t is curious to see how the fire losses
In this country keep along at about
an even amount, month by month and
year by year. There is, to be sure,
a little variation at times, but on the
whole the annual FIRE losses in the Unit
ed States and Canada amount pretty
constantly to a total each year that
does not vary much from $230,0O0, 900.
The fire losses for May of the pres
ent year amounted to $17,225,s $50, and
for the past FIVE months of the present
year the losses total $93,752,950, COM
pared with $l1s,269, 900 for the same
months of 1912. and s10s,999,S00 for
the first five months of 1911.

267 fires reported, causing an estimated
property damage Of $4,000 or over in
each case. eve find these figures in
