WASHINGTON, D. c., March IT,
The Iowa democratic organization

Frank p Woods for list of the pres
idential postoffices in the tenth dis
trict where the commissions of the
present postmasters had expired Mr..
Woods refused to furnish the list,
Now that the democrats have tae
postoffice department in their hands,
the Iowa organization thinks it sees
the reason of Mr.. Woods refusal
The books reveal that of the fifty-two
presidential postoffces in Mr.. Woods
district, the commissions of almost
one-half of them expired months ago
some OF them more than two years
ago.
A state of affairs SO unusual as thu
caused many questions to be asked
and these brought out story that
Mr. Woods got himself In bad with
the Taft administration when he tried
to have his brother appointed pos~
master at Estheryille. 1t is said that
after that time President Taft refused
to consider any recommendations
made by Mr.. Woods. IS
The tenth district postoffice plumb
now ripe for democratic picking are
the following: Algona, Armstrong,
Breda, Britt. Corwith, Estherville,
Forest City, Gilmore City, Gowrie,
Grand Junction, Jewell, Kanawha,
Graettenger. Lake City. Lake Mills,

ALL SHOULD MARRY YOUNG
AZ Least That 10 the Advice Or.
Eliot Of Harvard Gives the Com.
Ing Generation.

Doctor Eliot Of Harvard declares
that postponed marriage is a great
modern evil in educated society. His
belief is given in full in Harper's
Bazaar, cheerful message to the
coming generation. in the course of
which he says: "You will hear some
young man say: cannot invite a
girl. who has been brought up to do
nothing for herself, and to have every
luxury provided for her, to marry me,
until I can earn an income which
will enable her to live with me in that
way. I have two remarks to make
about that doctrine-that If a girl has
been brought up in that manner. the
sooner she has q chance to live DIFF
ferently the better for her: and, Sec
ondly, that 1t is only fair for young
man who loves young woman to con.
suit whether or not she wishes to
marry him before he can earn q large
income.
"The young woman has . clear
right to say q word on that subject
to the man she loves and not to be
obliged to wait till he is thirty-flve
years old before he asks her to marry
him. This is q matter Of looking
ahead at critical point in your lives.
You are not in the habit, perhaps, Of
contemplating this event Of marriage.
It would be wiser to do 20. The
sooner you begin to think about It the
better-first, because 1t will be think
ing about the most important event Of
your lives in respect to the develop
ment Of your own characters and to
the happiness not only to yourselves,
but Of the women you will marry,
and Of the family life which will nor.
mally result" /.

the bulletin urges warfare on on

All the rest, even other varities
of hawks and owls, are shown to

McReynoId's Unhappy Predicament


10 say the least, it was most IN
fortunate that Attorney General NC
REYNOLDS lent a ready ear to those
who asked postponement IN inc
trial of certain important criminal
cases in San Francisco, one OF the
nrincipals il which was the son q
a high government official, but re-
Gently appointed. The Attorney Cen
eral had been advised that delay 70
the trial was being sought in order
to tamper with witnesses and other
wise to six" the case, but he grant
ed the delay nevertheless. This lee
to the resignation Of District Attor-
new McNabb, who had charge OF the
prosecution, and to the development
Of charges il connection with the
action of the Attorney General that
had not been satisfactorily met. The
fact that immediate prosecution has
been ordered by the President upon
the suggestion Of Mr.. McReynolds
is tantamount to an admission That
q serious blunder was made when
the DELAY was ordered.-The Coun-
try Review. !.
All of which, leads TO the conclu-
sion that Morris L. Diggs and Drew
Caminetti, both married men witt
children and of wealth and prom
nence, are lucky and may thank
themselves for being residents q
California instead Of Louisiana. II
Digs and Caminetti had induced
two school girls in Louisiana tc
elope with them, they would no
have been arrested and held on the
Man white slave enactment, but
would have been by this tins
deader than smoked herrings.
There is wide divergence in the
moral code, unwritten, as it IS ap-
piled in the North and as it is exc
cuted in the South. In the North
when mans wife has been alien
ated from her home, the recourse is
in a suit for damages, or as IN this
case, when two married men, with
families, deliberately dishonor two
school girls, there follows trial II
court, with the prospects Of the ac-
auittaI Of the scoundrels; but the
mode of proceeding in Louisiana, is
swift, deliberate and unerring. Such
proceedings may be viewed as bar
barous, but is there greater in
fanny than the crime of which Diggs
and Caminetti are charged? Such
monsters, disguised as honorable
men, are a menace to society as
long as they are in the activities
of life.
