RAILROAD SAFETY,

Excessive speed, inferior equipment
inferior organization and the attitude
or the public are the four principal
reasons why American railroads as a
whole are unsafe. The greatest rea.
son of the four is excessive speed
The other reasons refer back to it.
In the year ending July I. 1912, 1O.-
900 persons were killed and 10000 in
jured, according to the report of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
The public. while it lays the blame
upon the railroad, is itself at fault
When a train is late everyone who is
waiting for the train. even the LATEST
village loafer who never paid a fare
in his life, abuses the railroad for its
tardiness. The tardiness of a train,
however, is often due to precautions.
Then, too, railroads are sometimes
supplied with defective rails and
other inferior equipment The defects
cannot be discovered until they are
tried out Then the railroad gets the
blame when the fault really lies with
the manufacturer
Tho a1c ,1a
a part in making our railroads un-
safe. Railroads must pay big divi-
dends to get the proper support in
the stock market. Otherwise the
bonds of the railroad remain unsold
II the money made by railroad
must be paid out in dividends it can
Lot go into new equipment and nee
essary repairs for better service.
When the railroad attempts to meet
the competition of its more fortunate
neighbor by putting on fast trains. it
has serious wrecks. We find on many
reads. rails that are far too light !
for the fast and heavy trains, unsafe |
wooden coaches, gas lighting systems
instead of electric lights, rotten ties
and poor signal systems. The wooden |
coaches are turned into kindling wood
,ha, hn M ho
gas light often sets fire to the wreck
age With electric light and steel
coaches these dangers would be les
sened.
The railroads must be given the
credit of discharging employees who
are drinking men. No pilot or train
man should be permitted to get drunk
whether on or off duty. One railroad
has gone SO far as to discharge any
employe who is seen entering a sa-
loon. In this way there can be no
plea of merely looking for friend"
The railroads. the public and the
trainmen are all at fault. Until We
do something to remedy the more
noticeable dfeects, we can continue to
look for a great loss of life on our
American railroads. So far there
have been too many words and too
little action. Let us hope, however,
that the many words may move the
authorities to some action.

How NOtsOn Was Named.

Practically everybody in the coun-
ty remembers Lee Notson who few
years since was superintendent Of
schools in this county and who now
is successful attorney in Oklahoma.
Though his friends knew that he had
second name and other initials, he
always insisted upon being called Lee
NOstOn and signed his name that
way in an official capacity, never
telling why he was 80 partial to the
name of Lee. Now comes his father,
R. p. S. Notson of Hamburg, and
tells the Republican the following
story, which explains everything:
Long before the war Mr.. NotsOn
lived in Decatur county, having set
tied there in 1910. On a certain oc-
casion Robert e. Lee was sent by the
government to KeOkuk to look after
the building of steamboat canal
around the rapids of the Mississippi
there. He went on to Decatur coun-
ty to see some Hungarian patriots
who were living in exile. One day
his horse got away from him and he
stopped at the Notson cabin for food
and shelter. Mr.. Notson was struck
with the dignity and manly bearing
Of the man and continued to admire
him through his career, although re-
garding him as being on the wrong
side in the great war. 1t was for
the famous confederate general that
Lee N0tsOn was named.

Graduates of wO,PeriOds.

Full soon the sweet girl graduate
in white attire will rise, and tell, in
forty-seven states where Italy now
lies The beauteous maidens of the
land, the bold, aspiring youths, on
and hand us vital truths. Life seems
to them an easy thing; a banners all
they need; motto in the air to fling,
so he who runs may read. A watch
word couched in ancient Greek will
smooth the road to fame; ah me,
when roses tint the cheek, life seems
an easy game! But mark these Wo-
men old and worn, who at commence
ment time gazed on the festival and
mourn-their presence seems a
crime! They founo this life
harder road than e'er they
dreamed it was with more of
whip and spur and goad than
of the worlds applause. There is
shadow on each brow, stilled is their
buoyant song; their eyes are weak
and faded now, for they have wept
so long. They're bent from bearing
heavy weights, from toiling day and
night; they once were sweet girl
graduates, serene in snowy white.
Beyond the Alps" we heard them
say, high purposes in their eyes, upon
a bygone happy, day, "the land of
Italy lies!" Life leads through
tangled wilderness, and not through
basky dells-but who'd discourage
or distress the Blessed Damozels?-

WON'T DELIVER BOOZE. I,
Express Companies Will Not Deliver
Liquor to Any but Licensed
Dealers, and What are You
Going to DO.

People who have been in the habit
of having a case of beer or a gallon
of booze shipped to them by express
are experiencing trouble about get
ting their wants supplied, and it all
comes from the passage of the Webb
Kenyon bill, as all of the express
companies have issued orders to their
local agents not to make any deliv-
cries to any person in conflict with
the provisions of the law. The mat
ter is made a general order by the
express companies, and in the order
they notify local agents that 1--WE
cannot deliver shipments of intoxi-
eating liquor to any consignee in the
state of Iowa unless the consignee is
titles of not less than four gallons,
or two dozen pints, or one dozen
quarts in single package. The
transportation of liquor between two
points,, both of which are in the
state of Iowa, is prohibited except
when both the shipper and consign-
zee are licensed dealers. and even
then only when the conditions men
toned in the Official Gazette have
been complied with"
NO notice mas as yet Deen received
by the local freight agent, but it is
exepcted that similar order will
be issued by all the railroad COM
panies.
The cause of all this trouble for
the people who want their liquor is
the law recently passed by the Unit
ed States Congress, known at the
Webb-Kenyon bill, which prohibits
the shipment of liquor into dry ter
ritory unless to person legally
qualified to handle it. Recent inves-
tigation of the effect of this law and
also other legislation is to vitalize a
statute which says that an outside
jobber, shall have no advantage over
a state jobber, and as liquor ship
ments are prohibited from one part
of Iowa to another, the outside ship
per is affected by the same law.

"THE MEXICAN SPY"
A Thrilling Two Reel Lubin Special
Feature at The Idle Hour,
Monday, June End.

Another big special Lubin two reel
feature play, THE Mexican Spy
will be shown at the popular Idle
Hour theatre on next Monday even
ing, June End The story of the
play is as follows:
Tom, son of Colonel Loring, is a
handsome, but dissipated youth, cas-
lily influenced to moral transgres-
sions. Mary Lee, the paymaster's
daughter loves Tom despite his fail
ings, and tries desperately though
vainly to reform him. Senior Luis
Rivera, polished and apparently
wealthy Tin reality a spy 'becom8 a
intimate with Tom, who, to keep up
his end and pay his gambling losses
to Rivera, steals $4,000 from the
paymaster's safe. s#t ~.G
. Rivera threatens to expose Tom S
theft unless he steals for him the
plans of forts in the southwest, pro-
posing to give back the money, which
Tom may replace in the safe, if he
does so. Tom cannot resist the
temptation, and secures the plans
from his fathers Office, but before
he has delivered the drawings to
Rivera, Mary learns of the situation,
and by pawning her jewels and US
ing the little legacy, raises enough
money to replace that stolen. She
then forces Tom to defy Rivera, and
replace the plans. No one suspects
Tom, but he realizes that he is
breaking the hearts of his father and
the girl, and swears that he will
prove worthy of their love- Rivera
has gone away.
tom disappears, and under an as
,sumed name enlists in the army.
Leaving a note for Mary in which
he tells her that she will not see
him again until he has redeemed
his shameful past. Shortly after
ward the regiment to which Tom has
been attached is ordered to the
southwestern border, on account of
difficulty arising with the Republic
of Mexico. In the meantime Mary
has applied for and received an ap-
pointment as Red Cross Nurse, and
is herself sent to the border.
One day after her arrival she is
sent by the surgeon in charge to a
point some distance away from the
hospital, and is greatly surprised to
find the soldier assigned to drive
the, wagon furnished for her trans
none other than Tom. The
young folks are oyerjoyed to see one
another again. Tom takes his seat
with Mary and the escort inside and
the journey starts.
Rivera with troop learns of the
trip, seizes an opportunity to secure
revenge, and at the same time deal a
blow at the hated Americans. He
starts in pursuit of the little party.
A running fight follows, as result
Mary and Tom are the only ones
left alive on the wagon. Tom stops
the wagon and hastily mounting
Mary on one of the mules sends her
in search of aid, while he undertakes
to hold back the attacking Mexicans.
Upon Mary's return with troop of
cavalry, they find Tom lying wound
ed. Tom is taken to the hospital
and with Mary's careful nursing is
restored to health. Later Tom is
made lieutenant, and secures Mary's
hand.
