Enough Law in Iowa.

Cedar Rapids Republican: The law
makers who viii begin jonrneying to
the capital city the last OF this week
ought to remember that Iowa has
about laws enough. Especially has it
enough laws to restrain the evil pas
sions in men and to guard their con-
duct at every turn It will be safe to
add no more to the burden of per-
scnal and sumptuary legislation. We
have gone the limit in Iowa and the
time has come to call halt, if we are
to retain any semblance of liberty or
any sense of personal respect or re-
spcnsibility. a man travelling across
the state of Iowa recently said a thing
that is apropos. As he entered the
state he pulled down the Pullman cur
tain with this remark: I'VE are now
in the state of Iowa. | am, inadyert-
entity wearing a very red necktie. and

stop the train and arrest me for in

shows how others are beginning to re-
gard our state, because of the multi
plfcity of personal legislation. There
is lot that We ough to forget. We
have gone about as far as we can 70
to make people good by law.
Every session of the legislature is
apt to develop few fellows who want
to make regulations by still further
abridging the personal liberties OF the
people. Let us pray that the coming
session will develop some leaders who
will make their marks by promising
the repeal of some Of these laws, H.
stead Of the enactment OF more Of
them.

The DANGEROUS LeoIslature.

burlington Saturday Evening Post
It is almost disheartening TO note the
great number Of extreme measures
which il is proposed to bring before
the state legislature at Des Moines
this winter. Not single solitary one
of all that has been proposed has any
right place in the CODE Each one is
the personal revenge or the personal
zeal OF some person who feels called
upon to interfere with the orderly
conduct of his neighbor's affairs or
business. The code nov is loaded down
With such laws. Many excellent men
excellent citizens and valuable to
the state have been driven out OF
Iowa BY foolish and unjust laws.
Usually they have been men of means
ard their money went with them To
keep on drawing the lines OF regula-
ton OF conduct tighter may look good
to the zealots, but it is costing the
state fearfully in men and wealth
Why not legislats for awhile in such a.
hceral way as to bring people into the
state rather than SO as to drive them
cut? Better still. why not let NJ en-
tisely on this legislation crusade for
few years? ne have thousands of
pages Of laws, few of which are en-
forces except sporadicallg. and which
no one respects. Is the purpose Just
to keep on making laws and adding to
the code for all time to come? Nature
went out of the law making business
a good many years ago. but NO one
questions Tor an instant hut that she
has laws enough and they are en-
forced.

A SONG or LONG AGO.

A song OF long ago
Sing 1t lghtly-sing It low
Sing 1t softly-like the lisping Of the
lips we used to know.
When our baby laughter spilled
From the glad hearts ever filed
With music glad as robin ever trilled.
Let the fragrant GUNNER breeze.
And the leaves of locust trees
And the apple buds and blossoms and
the wings OF honey bees,
All palpitate with glee.
Til the happy harmony
Brings back each childish joy to yoa
and me.
Let the eyes of fancy turn
Where the tumbeld pippins burn
Like embers in the orchards lap o.
tangled grass and fern
There let the old path wind
In and out and on behind
The cider press that chuckIes as We
grind.
Blend in song the moan
VI the dove that grieyes alone,
And the wild whir of the locust, and
the BUNDLES drowsy drone;
And the low of COWS that call
Through the pasture bars when all
The landscape fades away at even.
fall.
Then far away and clear.
Through the dusky atmosphere,
Let the waiIing of The kildee be the
only sound we hear:
@ sad and street. and low
As the memory may know
e tie glad pathetic song Of long ago.

| ~ LIGHTERS who admit having made
H hundreds of thousands of dol
= lars out of ring encounters and
who later come out and brag about
! alleged fakes pulled off on the public
deserve little sympathy from the same
public when they try to make them
selves out martyrs to the cause. If it
! is true, as some papers have announced,
that Abe Attel, the former feather
weight champion, admits having faxed
contests in the ring, then he should
be tabOoed by all honest fighters and
managers alike. The game has had

the fighters themselves trying to kill
II, and If promoters would only get
together, the same as baseball mag
mates, and bar taking boxers from the
ring Tor all time 1t would have a very
beneficial effect upon them without a
doubt. Attell, according to a St Louis
paper admits having bet $4,000 that
frankie Neil would stay 20 rounds
with him, having made up his mind
to let the coast bantam go the distance
and thus cheat the public, but accord
ing to the same story frankie became
SO weak that he collapsed from his own
energies in the 18th round and thus
Abe lost his surething bet II 1t is
true. it was a premeditated SWindle
Abe Attel has always been held in
high esteem by all followers of the
sport, for he was admitted one of the
cleYerest little ring generals that ever
stepped into the arena. There is no
doubt that at times the little champion
has allowed opponents, who were mere
novices in his hands, stay through
short round bouts because he did not
want to punish them unnecessarily
(Which was all right from a boxing
standpOint), but to deliberately fake
contests is a different matter It is
hard 20 believe that a clever fighter
like Attell would be a party to fakes
and it is up to him to come out and
deny the stories, if they are not true.
