THE RULE OF MEN.
rGfo,,x City Tribune,1


In his farewell speech, Senator
Bailey attacked about everything OF
good report. including suffrage for
women He said:
There is not southern state that
has adopted woman suffrage and
hope they will not. I can not under
stand how any woman wants to step
down from the high pedestal upon
which man has placed her to mingle
in the broils and debaucheries OF poll
tics"
AS a lifelong politician. Senator
Bailey does not give very good name
to the work in which he has expended
his energies for many years. But ad-
hitting that his description Of politics
is correct, Bailey shows conclusively
that il women hope for any. relief Tor
themselves and children from the evils
that run rampant thru the land. they

CITY PRESS AGENTS? WHY NOT?
TCedar RAPIDS Gazette.1

lCedar Rapids GaZette.1
Do cities need press agents? Why
not? Would not the expense of such
an official, paid salary commensurate
with the worth OF his systematic boost
ing, be justified and would not the cost
be returned many fold?
The question is worth discussing.
Not a week passes but that the
members of the city council receive
an armful of letters requesting infor-
nation concerning municipal matters.
some of them dealing with problems OF
city government, and some OF them
dealing with the progress Of the city's
business interests. The Commercial
Club is constantly besieged for lnfor-
nation. Newspaper offices and private
citizens find their mail burdened with
communications bearing on variety
Of subjects, and to answer all of them
means much time and research.
Every communication which goes out
Of a city, and which discusses favor
ably any aspect of city government or
any detail of private enterprise Is an
advertisement for the city, an adver-
tisement the worth Of which can not be
estimated in dollars and cents.
Would 1t not pay the city and its
commercial club to join hands in en-
ploying one man whose sole duty 1t
would be to act as city press agent
advertising the municipality and its
advantages in the four quarters Of the
globe and calling the attention of many
thousands of people elsewhere to the
very good reasons why residence IN
Cedar Rapids is the most desirable
thing?
We have been talking, In recent
wears, about state press agent work. 1t
might be a good idea for cities to take
the lead in this matter.

LET THEM FOOT THE BILL.

ROckIOrQ ReglSteT.1
Even casual observation and medta-
ton leads one to the conclusion that
some method ought to be devised
whereby the expense growing out or
the policing and court expense direct
ly traceable to liquor traffic, author
lied by popular sentiment, ought to be
borne by those who favor such traffic
and not by those who are on the whole
opposed to the business. This idea that
the swarm of irresponsible parac1tes
who frequent saloons and similar
places can have an equal voice Is sad
ding the saloon, as an institution.
upon a community is the rankest kind
Of injustice. It Is usually this class that
vote solidly for the saloon yet vast
majority Of them don't own a dollars
| worth Of property. and not only
couldn't get credit at a grocery or
| clothing store, but not even at a sa-
loon. Yet it is with this same trrespon-
sible class that the greater portion OK
! the sixty or seventy per cent OF court
expense, directly traceable to the
booze business, originates. In common
! decency and fairness law should be
passed which would disqualify nom
; taxpayers from voting on the bringing
! in or continuance Of the saloon in any
community. and which would further
| lay upon those taxpayers voting for the
salon the entire bill of expense grow
| ing out of the police and court expense
for which the booze bushes Is respon-
sible. Were such law as this passed.
| the saloon would be put out OF business
in practically every community in the
land Those favoring the traffic prate
a good deal about personal liberty"
and kindred privileges. but they would
he mighty slow to vote In the saloon If
| they had to foot the bill Of expense
which it creates. 1t is time long sufe,
ing taxpayers were given relief along
this line.
