( Dows, Nov. 1.-THE prejudice
Iowa is well known by the market men.
With sheep selling to the shippers at
$3.50. and lambs at s6.25 per hundred
pounds. it would seem as though it was
not yet necessary for all Of US to be-
come vegetaria MS. But butchers can
sell ten pounds OF beef and pork to
one of mutton. this regardless Of price.
, A story is told of an Iowa farmer u
few weeks ago Eving a tnreshing out
fit to feed. He butchered a spring
lamb and for dinner served roast lamb,
vegetables and fixins. one of those big
dinners SO many Iowa farmers wives
are noted for. One husky young farm

quantity of everything on the table ne

was started after dinner many COM

it was the incest roast lamb he had
ever eaten. when the young man
turned pale, said, Roast lamb? Why
mutton always makes me sick" Then
and there he walked around the barn
ana lost MS dinner.
Evidence is coming forward every
day to explain the irregular service OF
daily papers. Men to work IN the cars
as route agents are scarce, that is
men showing the qualifications re-
quired by the examinations. A post
master in one OF our larger towns told
the writer that the department had
drafted two Of his men for railroad

a new man threw several towns

common remark that the go called

shown small aptitude for reorganiza-
ton. Justice Hughes Is likely to exer-
else his fine Judgment for himself as
well as for the law. He is not at all
likely to offer himself as a sacrifice un-
less the offering seems to have some
chance of acceptance.
The republican party has much to
do before it goes seeking candidates for
their first or second place on the ticket.
1t must afford some signs Of party
solidarity. 1t must get in shape to
make an appeal to its voters with prin-
cipes and issues rtaher than candi-
dates. There's a lot of getting ready
to do first.

THE BLACK PLAGUE RECORD,

Observance Of the black plague law
of Iowa Is to be urged on the medical
men. The law Is rather a complicated
affair which provides that all cases Of
venereal disease shall be registered
The doctor treating the case merely
reports a number. keeping private
record Of the name of the person af'
ficted in his own private book. 1t is
hoped to gather statistics Of these dis
eases which will be valuable.
Perhaps this record Will be valuable
In an abstract sort Of way to medical
science and assist in general way to
better understanding of conditions as
they exist, but withal 1t seems TO be
lodging the devil round stump so far
as the present generation is concerned.
Its protective features are not appar-
ent. It doesn't give the young woman
who desires to be certain that her chill
dren shall not bear the insignia and
suffer the results Of shame ul disease
opportunity to make certain as she
may OI suCN safety. IL lue record were
such that 1t would be possible for pa
rents and candidates for matrimony TO
make sure that the names of the pros
pective bride and groom were not OF
the record and II they were that the
investigation might be carried on TO
the complete information which is the
right Of both the registration would
amount to something practical and
protective.
So far as the common knowledge tn at
the sins Of the fathers descend upon
unborn generations that information is
afforded by scripture and was current
half hundred centuries ago. What
we need now is not SO much more in
formation but some action that will
protect purity.

THE ONLY WAY OUT.

lDes Moines Register and Leader.1
Elsewhere on this page will be
founda summary Of the falling off of
large corporate undertakings for Oc-
tober, as compared with the October
Of a year ago.
1t is strange that the men whose in
terests are most directly involved do
not turn to affirmative remedies rather
than content themselves with denunc-
iations of the Sherman law and OF the
attorney general who enforces it.
The Sherman law will not be re-
pealed not even If financial uncertain
ty should end in financial distress.
Nor after the record Of the Roosevelt
and Taft administrations. would the
Wilson administration dare invite the
condemnation that would follow an evil
dent purpose to drop the fight.
There is but one way out. and that
is thru a sufficient submission to gov
eminent control to insure freedom
from the most grievous OF the abuses
that have attended the rise Of big
business.

said he liked it and sahestown, in which
he had located. "It-takes longer for
a western man to get acquainted in
the east than for an fastener to know
people out here" he explained. st the
east no notice is taken OF strangers
Perhaps that is why men who come
west rarely go back east" unless they
fall heir to property or the sia-if
comes after them. Nobody goes ga st
to live unless may be some person who
has accum ulated a large fortune and
imagines that he ought to go east as

pie take notice OF strangers and

1t pays a community to take notice
OF strangers" The chances for turn
ing away an angel unawares from the
front door Of the city are much greater
than at the back doors of the private
residences. One of the strong attrac-
tons of any community to strangers
seeking residential locations is COM
partnership. A handshake and pleas
ant greeting are two big assets to a
town and they don't cost much.
OF course the west has opportunity
that the east has not; but it is a good
thing to remember that "the east
takes no notice OF strangers" and the
system that looks upon the stranger
within our gates merely as a POSSIBLE |
fly of profit a good one TO avoid. Towns
make friends precisely as individuals
make friends. Men seek clean, COM
panionable town precisely as they
seek clean, objectionable men. The
best and cleanest and most courteous
and helpful town has the most and the
most; desirable friends.

There's . generally expressed opin-
Ion that the cause Of the tremendous
loss Iowa has had this year from 81
called hog cholera comes mainly from
the almost universal practice Of virus
and serum incubation. Perhaps bet
ter way to state 1t, Is, that the vast
Quantities used has in all cases made
the hogs sick-the intent Of the vac
clnation-but In so many cases the
serum was of poor quality and did not
save them from the incubation. With
this IN mind the farmers are favorins

Advocate says:
Senator Kenyon has introduced bill
In the United States senate. asking
for an appropriation Of 100000 to
enable the federal government to CO.
operate with counties in eradicating
hog cholera,
At present there is small appro-
priation for this purpose, whereby
the federal government pays half the
expense of a county expert, the county
paying the rest. According to Wash
ington dispatches it Is stated that un :
der this arrangement work Is being
carried on in six Iowa counties, Gin
ton, Scott Muscatine, Clay, Montgom-
cry and Blackhawk, also In various
counties in other states. The result Of
this corporation is highly beneficial.
but the government appropriation is
too small and more :s needed.
Senator Kenyon is determined to get
a liberal government appropriation.
THE loss from hog cholera in the last
year was over $12.o0o.ooo, Enough is
lost in this country yearly to build half
the Panama canal. Think how this
bears on the cost Of living. By the
expenditure Of a million year the
government can go far to eradicate
cholera and wipe out this enormous

He will write country editors thru
out Iowa asking what counties will pay
part of the expenses Of an expert Il the
government pays par.
Senator Kenyon and Cumrins, last
congress, tried 20 get n liberal appro-
priation for this purpose, but Cor rea-
sons not explained James Wilson, then
secretary of agriculture, opposed it and
spoke against it hef>re the house COM

a question whether Secretary Of Agri-
culture Houston will support the Plan.
In fact, It is believed he will oppose It,
despite the imporran. work 'vhica can
be accomplished by It. In any event.
Senator Kenyon is getting ready for
a fight to ges the appropriation.
