Notes of a Traveller.

An lowan straying through the
land of flowers, fruit and f1eas one
day came upon a city school house
and went in. The kindergarten
teacher, learning that the visitor
was an easterner, as they there call
those outlanders who dwell beyond
the Rockies, quite innocently asked
if they had "kindergartens as far
east as Iowa" This same Iowan be-
ing little acquainted with the man
ners and customs Of men high up
would ask whether statesmen "as far
east as Iowa" rest their weary feet
on their legislative desks, toes up,
alongside unfinished laws, and burn
the fragrant nicotana leaf as they
sagely ponder mighty matters Of
legislation. ~.

MONETARY BILLS.

1t now seems likely that half a
dozen bills to reform our banking
system will be introduced at the
special session of Congress. Carter
Glass of Virginia will introduce in
to the House a bill clothed with the
endorsement of the administration.
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts has
announced that he will introduce
the National Monetary Commission S
bill, commonly known as the "Ald-
rich bill" Senator La Toilette, Pro-
gressive, will have a bill of his own,
modelled, it is said, after the None
tary Commissions plan, but differ
ing from it in important particu-
lars. Former Congressman Fowler
of New Jersey will have a bill which
he has drawn up introduced into the
House. Senator Hitchcock of Ne
braska has a bill. There may be
others.
OF them all, it is likely that the
Glass bill will receive the first and
the most serious attention. It will
have the support, unless reports are
fallacious, of President Wilson, and
therefore of the Democratic major
ity. 1t is the result of long and pa
tient study, and of an inquiry at
which the leading economists, bank
ers and business men of the coun-
try expressed their opinions.
1t is not likely, in view of the
violent opposition aroused, that the
"Aldrich plan will have much at
tention, whatever its merits or de-
merits. The details of Senator La
Follettes measure are not we'll
enough known to permit of free dis
cussion and other bills are all likely
to be sidetracked
Whatever bill is adopted, and
however it may be modified in de-
bate, the whole country hopes that
it will be sound; and the whole
country will watch the proceedings
with eager eyes.

Seeking Information.

Ellsworth News: J. NJ. Blake,
who for six years has been secretary
of the school board at Webster City,
also holding like position at
Jewell, has promised to be here on
next Tuesday evening at a meeting,
to answer all questions pertaining
to schools and their work, that il
in his power to do.
Mr.. Blake does not come under
the auspices of the people who want
a school house, but under the aus
pices of the Booster Club.
Mr.. Blake is conceded to be au-
thority on matters pertaining to
school work. On account of his con-
nection with the school at Webster
City he has been called upon to ac-
quaint himself with all OF the legal
points connected with it and is al
SO well versed with the financial
workings Of school.
The Boosters want every one to
attend this meeting Tuesday evening
at the hall and they want every one
who has any doubts-one way or
the other-to ask Mr.. Blake.

CUMMINS DID 1T FIRST.

Capital: The people are suppos-
ing that President Wilson did a new
thing when he read his message to
congress in person.
In this respect there is a mistake.
Iowa is ahead, as usual.
When Senator A. B. Cummins
was governor of Iowa he read his BIZ
ennial message to the two houses OF
the legislature in person. He did
not rely upon the printed page. He
has always claimed that it was the
real intent of those who framed our
style of government that governors
and presidents should deliver their
orally. Governor Cummins
was at the head of the procession.
The governor was ahead in an
other respect. He used to assert that
tariff schedules were not sacred.
Now Wilson says the same thing,
and the country agrees that sched-
ules are not sacred.
Senator Cummins used to demand
competition, at home, if possible; if
not at home, then with other ma
tons from abroad. Wilson demands
the same thing and is trying to &C
his purpose.
1t has taken the nation several
years to catch up with the Iowa pro-
cession but we must keep history
straight.
Senator Cummins is the fit sub
ject of congratulation. He is one of
the able men of the United States.

said he wanted to get on the coun-
Gil to see how the business was
done and being in city not as
far east as Iowa"
"Nameless here forevermore,"
where laws are made, he went to see
how the thing was done. Here he
saw the reading clerk running the
legislative mill at top speed, while
members were reading, writing,
smoking, talking and walking about.
More than once did the speaker
pound the desk with his little wood
en- mallet and scold bit. But per-
haps the decorum expected of de-
batting club in country school
house would be useless and unneces-
sary restraint in legislative halls.
In the legislature of another state
was his first sight of feminine law
makers, two in the lower house and
one in the upper. In both places
fragrant fumes were rising like in
cense to the gods. Anticipating the
day when woman suffrage will be as
wide as the Union, this Iowan asked
the young woman by his side as
they looked down from the gallery
how she would like to be law-mak-
er. mot if they smoke like that"
was her reply. In the good time COM
ing when the rights and duties of
the sexes settle in equilibrium will
the gentler sex come to smoke and
swear like man, or will those who
have almost a monopoly in that line
smoke and swear less?

100 Years Late.

Ellsworth News: Simon Sogard
got into print again Tuesday by
writing a political speech to the
Freeman-Tribune. Simon was born
century late. According to his
own version he should have lived
here before the revolutionary war,
when England had possession and
things were moving along slowly
and making no progress. When the
mighty ruler told what to do and the
people done it, Simon still carries
that old fashioned idea that the peo-
pie don't know what they want, but
they evidently knew what they
didn't want, along in the fore part
of last vember.

What Billy Sunday Would Do.

In the controversy at Des Moines
over the proposed coming to that
city of Billy Sunday, writer sign
ing himself Geo. w. WEIGH, tells
Register and Leader readers what
Billy would do. He says:
I'm a Unitarian but l don't agree
with Mr.. Martin on the coming of
Billy Sunday. 1t is generally con-
coded that he who causes two blades
Of grass to grow where only one
grew before is a benefactor Of his
kind.
Mr.. Sunday can double discount
that old saying for If he comes to
Des Moines he will cause a thousand
blades of grass to grow where only
weeds grew before.
He will straighten up the fence
put hinges on the gate and patch
the walk leading up to the little cot
tage. He will pull the pillows out
of the window sash and put glass
there. He will put shingles on the
roof, put paint on the house, new
paper on the walls, rugs on the
floor, books on the shelves and pic
lures in every room.
If Billy Sunday comes to Des
Moines he will cause a thousand
smiles to mantle the faces of wives
and children where before only sor-
row and grief were depicted and he
will cause many lips to feel the i'm
press of sweet kisses where before
were only curses.
He will cause JOY and gladness to
run riot where were before dismay
and gloom. He will cause the sa-
loon keeper to exclaim: What must
[ do to be saved?"
If he comes, as / sincerely hope
he will, pledge myself to get as
many to attend as possible and /

Dan Gets in Trouble.

Ellsworth News: Dan 'Knudson
got beautiful calling down in Web
ster City the other day. He was
walking along behind a young lady
who was wearing one of those new
tangled inverted boat hats with an
oar shaped peacock feather pointed
toward the evening star. Dan
thought the young lady was fairly
good looking when she turned her
face toward him and as he always
had a tender spot in his heart for
good looking girls, he thought it
was his duty to report to the fair
damsel that the center pole of her
sky piece had tilted to the rear and
was at a dangerous angle-that is,
it was dangerous to the innocent by
stander when she turned her head
SO he walked up, tapped the lady on
the shoulder and pleasantly inform
ed her that her tail feather was
loose and needed propping up. Well,
Dan told us confidentially that he'd
try anything once, but he said that
he would let that girl lose all the
feathers she ever had and he'd never
shed tear.

an attack of pneum onia about a week
and failed rapidly despite every effort
put forth to save his life.
The deceased was a mining man of
prominence in this city and was well

loss will be greatly felt by the SUI
perior and Boston Copper company,
where he has been a reliable and able

the state, whose sympathy for the be-
reaved wife and brother will not be
