Questionable Men ano Women.

Marshalltown Times Republican:
The Polk county grand Jury and the
Polk county attorney and Judge of
Polk county have joined forces in a
cleanup campaign. According to the
Des Moines newspapers questionable
women who walk the streets plying
their ancient procession are to be in
dfcted and sent to the 3enitentiary
Judge McHenry will refuse to permit
these cases to be settled by the desart-
IRE of these women to other cities.
Attorney Guthrie will insist on stiff
prison sentences, the minimum CT
which is five years under the statute.
Thus street walking is 20 be abolish
ed In Des Moines.
There is no need of sympathy for
the women who may thus fell foul of
tho law and suffer It's penalties. But
what of the other street walkers of
the other sex? Why is it worse for
women to range the street for immoral
purposes than for men? What Of the
hundreds OF men who prowl of nights
seeking whom they may deyour of In.
nocence. or In search OF companion.
chip no better than themselves? Why
not indict and send TO the penitcntiary

same company he keeps at his liberty

woMANs Fatal AGE" is 80.

DIR. Jackh of Hamburg, Germany,
has analysed on scientific principles
the course Of love in the lives of the
average man and woman He puts
the result In diagrammatic form, and
shows that the male curve of love"
or capacity for affection toward the
other sex, is highest between "a and
26, whereas the female curve rises
highest between 80 and a.
His statistics are based on an ex-
animation of the sex lives of 400 ia
nous men and women. The curves
show that man loves strongly at 20,
but after that there is a drop, owing
to his getting over youths first de-
lusions
He begins to love strongly at "a.
He seldom loves at 80. being then too
busy with his advancement in life
Woman loves specifically at II and
more or less equally between then
and 80. But the great passion of her
life usually comes when she is past
first youth. Thirty Is her fatal
age" Even 40 is not hopeless.
Among famous women there have
been more strong passions at 10 than
at 20"

STEEL CARS AND WRECKS.

A series of railroad wrecks coming
in rapid succession seem to enforce
the public's plea for steel In place of
wooden coaches. In every case many
lives were saved Another side OF
the question is suggested, however,
by the well known railroad writer,
James o. Fagan. in letter to a New
York paper. Mr.. Pagan wants the
question looked into carefully wheth-
er these wrecks In which SO many
lives are saved by steel cars are not
caused by these same steel cars. The
point he brings up Is that the tracks
are not heavy enough to stand the
pressure OF all-steel trains, and until
tracks are strengthened such wrecks
will occur with increasing regularity.
Certainly 1t is matter to be inquired
into. The public demands steel cars
because they do not crumple up in a
wreck, but If steel cars are the cause
of wrecks, the travelling public is be-
tween the devil and the deep sea- Mr..
Pagan wants the commerce commits
sion to Investigate the question and
report on the preparedness OF the
railroads to carry the additional
weight of steel trains.

PROTECT THE CHILDREN.

That our Keokuk school board has
at least a moral jurisdiction in pro
tecting children on their way to and
from school is the contention OF the
Burlington Hawk-Eye. In an editor
ial reference to the boards campaign
against scorching the HE. says:
In Keokuk the school board has be-
gun campaign against auto scorch-
ers. The purpose is to protect school
children on the streets and make 1t
safe for them to go to and from
school. That is where the school
board has at least moral jurisdiction
and ought to exercise 1t. The auto
club in Burlington is cooperating
with the local authorities; now let
everybody else lend a hand and avert
some hospital cases, some cripples
for life and some interments in the
cemeteries. The crusade should also
include the reckless motorcyclists and
the bicyclists and even the horse
drivers who sometimes add to the
perils of thoroughfares by fast or
careless driving. And everybody en-
courage the enforcement OF the traf-
flc ordinance The streets of Bur-
lington, or any other town, were
never intended for slaughter houses.

History repeats itself. Harper's
Weekly has brought to light the fact
that our pure food law labels are old
and antique. In 900 B. c., the ancient
Hebrews made the wholesale grocers
and wine dealers of their day put such
seals and labels on their wine and
oil jars. They stated when the wine
was deposited In the cellars and
where the wine came from. On the
oil jars the label read "a Jar Of Pure
Oil" with the namo Of the district
producing it. Seventy-hye of these
records were found. They show that
even in the days of King Ansb the
government protected the stomachs
OF its citizens.

GOVERNMENT TO LOWER PRICES


Plans for countrywide campaign
to remedy the prevailing high cost of
food necessaries and to improve the
marketing of farm products are being
arranged under the direction OF Presi-
dent Wilson's official advisers. The
aim is described as two-fold, thus:
First, how to provide the average
farmer with means to improve his land
and increase It's production.
Second, how to lift for all the people,
and especially the masses in the great
cities, the burden Of the increasing cost
of food. The preliminary investigation
has been conducted by the department
ofagriculture, and now congress is to be
asked to cooperate. Questions about
existing conditions have been sent to
agents all over the country and the
answers are being tabulated. Professor
Carver. head OF the bureau Of markets,
has been in Europe studying conditions
there. Chairman Glass of the house
committee on banking and currency is
expected to push along bill providing
for the organization OF credit unions
among the farmers.
Another allied feature Of this work
is directed especially toward helping
the women of the farms. Secretary
Houston has sent out a set of questions
to these women asking them to say
how the department may improve Its
service for them. He declares that the
farm woman has been the most neglect
ed factor of the rural problem.

The Last of the Union Veterans.

Des Moines Capital: A few years
ago Iowa had four big, strong, ex-union
soldiers In congress. They were:
Hull, Lacey, Perkins and Hepburn.
When these men we're in congress,
they were respected and honored.
Now great number of people look
back and say mean things about them
and their class of public service. But
now that they have begun to die off,
people are beginning to speak OF them
again with some degree OF respect.
Lacey is the f1rst to go. 1t is now ad-

FOR UNIFORM ROAD LAWS.

- 1870 SfhtU oOH6 Lawn
The session of the American road
congress in Detroit, covering several
days, seems to have reached it's great
est practical result In the formation
of committee to bring about the
adoption Of uniform road laws In the
states. Varying methods of construc.
ton, the division of authority among
local officers, the lack Of any general
system and the wastefulness of the
employment not based on the merit
system were topics that were illum-
mated by speakers from many states.
The proposal of great road across
the continent, the much discussed
Lincoln highway, was stoutly crit
icised by Congressman D. w. Shackel-
ford of Missouri. who set 1t out as a
device to get the national govern
ment's money to build pleasure
road for wealthy automobile owners
while the farmers were left without
the benefit that comes from good
road to market.
The congressman's view met with
little support in the congress and was
stoutly criticised by some of the mem
hers. The chief value of the congress
is in the impetus given to all the
agencies for procuring the building OF
better roads and building them in
accordance with well-established
standards. The annual expenditure
for public roads is stated to be $780,
100000, a sufficient item to deserve
the most thorough system IN spend
ing.

UNIVERSAL MONEY ORDERS.

Postmaster General Burleson is plan
ming to ask congress for legislation au-
thorizing his department to issue mon
ey orders payable at any postoffice in
the United States. At present the Of
fee of payment must be designated on
the face of the order. 1t was at first
thought that the change could be
made at the discretion OF the postoffice
officials, but an advance opinion by the
comptroller of the currency is that an
act Of congress will first be necessary.
According to Chairman Matthews of
the house committee on postoffices and
post roads, the demand for this change
comes principally from two sources
the travelling public and the banks
/ Commercial travellers, theatrical folk
/ and others who spend a great deal OF
time on the road find 1t inconvenien,
to have to cash money orders at desig
mated post offices and would be much
accommodated by universal system
1 The banks, especially in large cities
I like New York and Chicago, where
great numbers of money orders are de
posted and cashed by customers, are
put to considerable trouble and ex
pense in collecting them at the desig
mated paying Offices and would appre
ciate being able to cash to orders 10
/ cally. Usually money orders can b,
!, collected by banks through their cor
respondent banks in the cities an,
towns designated on the orders, bu
frequently there is no bank in the des
ignated town, in which case the ban
receiving the order must send it t

Paper Railroad.

Bloomfield Republican: The McKin-
ley syndicate is giving the public some
food for gossip. The latest is that
they will build an interurban from
Keokuk to Des Moines. Such a move
would be wise. From Des Moines
south through Lucas to Abba and con-
meet with the Centerville line and
make a due east road to Van Buren,
and on to Keol1uk 1t would cover a
territory untrayeled largely by rail and
would prove profitable to the com
pany.

IN HER MEMORY.

IN HER MEMORY.
They say that she whom we have
loved is dead,
But In our hearts she lives, and we,
Who miss her kindly face and gentle
voice.
May know her still in memory.
The dearest spot on earrn to her was
home;
Her husband first, then children
dear;
Her household aids gave service will
ingly
And knew her word OF praise sin
cere.
Within her church she found second
home,
And in her one accustomed place
Through long, long years she offered
up her prayers,
With loved ones. on the throne OF
grace.
"A woman Of the type the psalmist
loved,
Within her world she led the way
With stateliness and gracious, gentle
pride,
And when she spoke none said her
nay.
And one who loved her knew her
kindly heart,
That felt before twas told the need,
With kindly pretense making it ap
pear
Her pleasure In the loving deed.
Then who shall say that she we loved
Is dead?
They cannot die whose lives have
blessed
Those whom they knew, and so with
folded hands.
Her task we'll done, she lies at rest.
