THE MAN WITH ENEMIES.

Ames Times: The man who has
enemies amounts to something. He
is live man. He is fighter. Peo-
pie don't Kick a corpse. A live man
can swim against the current; a
corpse floats down with out hind
rance. God bless our enemies. We
love them. They make life worth
living.

The commission appointed to buy
Des Moines real estate for the CAPT
toll ground enlargement has purchas-
ed some 5000, 900 worth and it is es-
timated that the balance can be Sc
cured at prices that will not bring
the total above the s1,000,000 mark.
The Hubbell interests have contract
ed for the sale of five pieces at
prices fixed by the commission. The
purchases already made establish
fair basis OF values and when con-
demnation proceedings are institut-
ed, as they will be if fancy prices
are demanded, the board of apprais-
ers will find it easy to reach conclu-
sions as to what the property is
actually worth.

Paterson, n. p, June 27.-A rude
bomb, apparently hurled through a
window, shattered the cellar early
yesterday in the home of Adolph
Fritschie, boss finisher in dye
plant involved in the protraeted silk
mill workers strike. No one was
injured. More than half dozen
bombs have been set off in the homes
of nonstrikers since the start OF the

Philadelphia has just enacted an
ordinance making it unlawful to
throw upon doorsteps or into yards
hand bills and other advertising
material, except newspapers deliver

properly addressed. The ordinance
is preliminary to opening war upon

the smaller cities Of the country
might adopt such methods with ad-
vantage.

President Wilson thinks currency
legislation is absolutely necessary
as an antidote for the ill-effects Of
his tariff measure. If the president
can get away successfully with tariff
and currency legislation at his spec

himself some statesman.

Two young girls in st. Louis who
were working for SIS per week and
were compelled to give every penny
to their mother went wrong be-
cause they did not have money to
go to the theatre They hit upon a
plan to raise the necessary amount.
They had heard that dentists kept
much gold in their offices to use in
filing teeth, SO they decided that
one of them should have d tooth
pulled and while the dentist was
busy the other should steal some
gold Accordingly they drew cuts
to see which one should undergo the
toothpulling torture. That being set
tied they went to the office and the
victim climbed into the chair The
dentist examined her tooth and told
her il was sound and ought not be
pulled, but she insisted that she
could not stand the aching any long
er. Then it was extracted. While
the dentist was thus engaged the
other girl stole quite a quantity of
gold. AS soon as they left the Office
they went to a pawn shop and Sc
cured money on the gold. OF course
their crime found them out. They
we're arrested, but their tender
years and their story saved them
rom Jail. When girls viii submit
% having sound tooth pulled in or
Ter to go to the theater it shows
hat the need of such recreation ID

Already results from the constitu-
tional amendment making United
States senators elective by popular
vote are in evidence. The senate
appears much more responsive to
public opinion than ever before. Pos
sibly the upper house would have
given the people better tariff bill
than the Payne-Aldrich measure
had the popular election of senators
been the law when that bill passed
the senate.

..Wine served at tne white house,

WINE served at the Wn1te mouse.
What's that? Yes, that is what the
dispatches say, and that, too, right
upon the heels of Secretary Bryan .

prohibitionists were clarifying the
president for banishing wine from
social functions. Yet when a recep-
ton was held at the white house in

paigne was served right from the

The English sparrow is coming to
be regarded as thing of value in
spite of the general opinion that he
is only a nuisance. Government ex-
perts in Utah and Wyoming state
that he is redeeming his lost reputa-
ton by his valiant field work in
those states. He is checking the
rapid advances of the alfalfa weeyil,
a pest which has appeared there and
is likely to spread to other states.
As Iowa is just beginning to pro-
duce alfalfa the sparrow may be of
great service in this state.
The products of the manufactur-
ing industries of Iowa amount to
$350,000,000 per year. or nearly ST.
100000 per day. That is pretty
good for an agricultural state. But
the time is coming when Iowa will
manufacture as many dollars worth
of goods as she consumes. BY put
ting the manufacturer near the con-
sumner transportation charges will
be reduced and Iowa will be even
more prosperous than at present.
The possibilities of this state are be-
yond comprehension.
The speed mania seems to have
taken possession of the city council
of Keokuk. Recently they passed an
ordinance limiting the speed upon
the business streets of the town to
eighteen miles an hour and to TWEEN
ty-fve miles an hour upon the resi-
dence streets. Twenty-Five miles an
hour is q very dangerous gait in a
town the size of Keokuk and ii
automobile drivers in that town do
not exercise more sense in driving
than the council has in making or
dinances Keokuk will be the scene
of many accidents.

reflection of his hatred for Cum

A few days ago the marshal OF
Iowa Falls arrested the sheriff Of
Cerro Gordo county because the
sheriff was driving an unnumbered
automobile through the streets.
Served him right. If there is any
one who should obey the spirit and
the letter of the law it is the officer
charged with the duty of enforcing
the law. And one night last week
the mayor of Dubuque was ordered
out of one of the city parks be-
cause it was after ten o'clock and
the ordinance requires everybody to
keep out of the park after thet hour.
| 1t is very foolish ordinance, but it
is entirely proper for the police to
enforce it, no matter whom the vio-
lator may be. But during the hot
period parks ought to be used all
night long if used right. What
harm is there in staying in a park
when it is intentionally hot in the
house?
The Freeman-Tribune is glad that
President Wilson has made record
that in one respect reflects credit
upon the administration of EXPIRES
ident Taft. Taft vetoed one
bill because it contained pro-
vision exempting labor and farmer
organiza tons from the operations of
the Sherman antitrust law. Presi-
dent Wilson signs the sun
dry civil bill, but declares
he would veto it il it were
not necessary to have the appropria-
lions it carries. He says the labor
and farmer exemptions are class leg
islation and the law will be enforced
against them in spite of this attempt
of congress to exempt them. 1t ex-
empts them by denying any appro-
priation for their prosecution, but
the president declares that money
from other funds can be used for
that purpose. All organizations,
whether labor, capital, farmers or
whatnot ought to be treated alike.
At meeting in Chicago a few
days ago Of prominent alienists and
lneurologists to consider ways and
means of hating the increase of de-
generacy and dementia, the opinion
was expressed that needless noises
were more responsible for insanity
than many think. One speaker said
that Chicago is the noisest city in
the world and declared that the
down town portion of the city with
in the radius of the elevated loop is
guilty of more noises and long con-
tinued noise than any similar area
in the world. This noise" it wasl
declared. has a distinct effect uponl
Chicagoans and they do not know
hard, they dance too hard, they
think too hard, they play too hard,
they dissipate too hard" And anoth-
er person shouted, when the wom-
en- wear colors they wear them sol
hard they fairly scream Cities
like Chicago have tackled the smoke
nuisance, the speed mania, the filth
germ, ETC.. and now they find they
must go after the insidious noises
that make life almost uncomfortable.
