THE BoHEMIANs.
fIowa CITY Republican,

llOW1 CITY HepuDncan.J
The Goshorn article calls out pro-
test from one OF the best known Bo-
hemians In this city. We have been
associated with Bohemian people from
boyhood time and we know them for
what they really are. In education,
Intelligence and industry they rank
with any like number OF home grown,
home bred people. and in point of In
tegrity. we find them possessed OF
higher ideals than are the people who
have no immediate foreign relation
ship. The credit OF people OF Bohemian
descent or those direct from the old
country is better in this community
and also in Cedar Rapids where we
know conditions. than those OF strictly
native blood. The Republican finds
that people whose names indicate Ro-
hemian ancestry and those OF German
extraction. are the promptest paying
subscribers this paper has. They are
money makers and money savers They
have good schools IN Bohemian town
ships and they work the roads better
than some others do. No matter that
the test, our Bohenian-Amer!can peo-
pie rank with the best. We do not
saw this to hatter. or for purpose
bu, because from forty years person.

It is true.

TOO PARTICULAR,
ISac SUM.


Referring to the candidacy Of W. O.
Payne, of Nevada, for the republican
nomination for congressman IN the
Seventh district. the Carroll Herald In
quires what right he has to run for the
cc....i.s. tom. asss, ting that ne iert the
party In the last presidential contest
and was an implacable supporter Of an
other party's candidate. It wants to
know why any republican should sup
port him or his fellow boilers for the
nomination or anything else. The
Herald is entirely too particular There
may be left enough republicans who
did not bolt in 1912 to All the various
Offices in the state but II we are to
draw the line as close as that news
paper indicates 1t is difficult to UNDER
stand whence are to come the votes to
elect any republicans to office. The
Sun wishes to commend. on the other
hand. the conclusion Of the Herald that
1t will be wise for republicans to unite
in the support of Senator Cummins
next year and also to take note Of the
political wisdom OF the following re-
mark credited to the Cedar Rapids Re-
publican: 1T may be said for Mr..
Cummins also that he has elected to
stay by the republican party. He has
stayed and helped to keep up the or
ganizatton and republicans Is whole
are not In q position now to ask too
many questions about those who are
willing to stay"

!, SAYS FRED IS TOO OLD.


One who knows him can't believe
that good old Fred White is seriously
considering to become candidate for
United States senator. There isn't
nicer or more lovable old man in
Iowa than F. White. but he has had
the honor OF running for office con-
ferred upon him often enough. Fred
White Is past 20. II he We're elected
senator he would be past so years old
before his term would expire. He would
be older than was Senator Allison
when he made his last campaign in
which the age argument was the only
one that was used against him. For a
good many years the United States
senate looked more like a treat for nice
silver haired men willing to follow the
line OF the least resistance than it did
like the vigorous legislative branch Of
our government that the trainers Of
the constitution Intended that it should
be. In late years men Of force and
visor have been chosen for places in
the United States senate and the
change has had most popular eff
feet Here in Iowa there Is no scarcity
Of senatorial timber among democrats.

TWO KINDRED TYPES.

Five gray haired women OF the VII
lage OF volo, ILL.,, have been found
ruilty of decoying another woman from
her home and riding her on a rail- to
the edge of the village where they re-
leased her with a warning to stay OUT
of town. They are likely to pay s2oo
each for their "escapade and to lie IN
Jail for six months If the Judge intlicts
the common penalty for such perform
ances. The name Of the woman thus
maltreated had been matter of gossip
in connect ton with that Of man OF the
village.
If these women whose dispositions
are for violence and lynch law are to
be sent to Jail for term-and so far
as that Ia concerned they deserve the
full penalty-they should have COM
pany. At least they acted openly If un-
lawfully. Along with them should be
all those who peddled scandal with such
ready tongue, men and women. Per-
haps that would necessitate an addi-
ton to the Jail but 1t would be worth
the money in the long run.
It may be that the woman who took
the place Of Floyd 1reson as the women
of volo assumed that Of the women
o. Marblehead' wasn't an she should
be. On tho other hand it Is quite as
likely that scandal mongering men and
women, seeking reputation and char
ter to devour drew uncalled for ccnclu-
sion. lied an scandal mongers do and
by the secret and mouth to ear m eth-
cd Of the evil minded brought about
the vengea OF the amazons upon an
innocent woman. At any rate the
speaking carrier Of scandal Is more
dangerous in a community than a "ty-
phoid carrier" There is no attack SO
hard to meet as that Of the scandal
nonger. the sneaking lie that travels
by stealth and innuendo and nothing
could be more appropriate than to send
the rioting women and the sly char
ecter assassin to Jail together.
The vice Is not confined to one sex.
There are men who peddle news as
boy peddles papers. They stop you on
the street to relate what they have
heard Of Ill. draw you aside at gather
Ing to whisper into your ear some per-
version Of business character or pri-
vate worth and to SOW suspicion in the
soil of confidence.
OF the two the men and women who
resort to the tar bucket and the rail
are safest at large. When they break
out they leave evidence behind them.
The only thing the scandal monger
leaves behind 10 a black mark and an
attempt to cover his own tracks. And
one deserves as much or more than the
other.

BETTER ROAD SYSTEMS.

II the money that has been spent on
the bridges and roads in THIS county
in the past twenty years had been ex-
pended according to some dennlte plan,
well worked ont In advance. we wouio
now have good roads all over this
great county OF our. II the work OK
cutting down the hills had been laid
out in advance, the moving OF the DIRT
done by contract. It Is likely that there
would be fewer hills than We are no"
compelled to travel over. The hills
make a greater difference to the horse
than to the automobile. There are
gears placed in the mechanism OF
car which enables the machine to take
Its load up a very steep hill without
unduly strainIng it, but the good old
horse doesn't have any gears. IL the
load behind a team IL about all the
team can handle on a fairly Level piece
of road. the extra work required to
make some of the hills between Logan
and Calhoun. for instance. or Star
school in Cass township. Is terrific
strain on the horses. An automobile
can climb 90 per cent grade. but a
horse or a team OF horses can not do
it with much Of q load, SO 1t is for the
horses that we should have the good
roads. The idea Of the county road
system, the state highway commission
and the engineering system is that we
may have the roads plahned--and the
plan worked. The system IL going TO
be expensive in the start, but in the
long run 1t will be economical, because
all the time We Will be working TO o
better condition OF the roads. and when
repairs are necessary they will be
made under proper supervision, SO that
change Of road bosses will not be
change in the plan OF working the
highways.
The Observer believes tina. In time
the highway commission will be con-
sidered a good thing. and while there
may be some changes in the manner
Of operating we do not believe that
we Will ever 60 back TO the old way
OF making roads.

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY.

The peace and harmony which has
characterized the Iowa democracy Is
no more. Where tenderness reigned
and democratic domesticity once held
sway there are loud outcries and the
sound Of stiff punches. It Is as tho
the happy family In the menagerie had
exploded and each individual member
in the cage had started arnuck.
It all comes from success. While
democracy had nothing to lose and all
to win peace prevailed and brother
Illness ruled the roost. Trouble came
with accumulation as trouble is like to
come. The family was all right until
1t inherited property. In the division.
as often happens even in the best reg
ulated families, the row began with
the casting Of lots over the garments
Of departed republican Office holders.
It is as tho Cain had come back to
object to favors granted Abel. It is
Ike Shep when Rover gets the bone. It
L. case Of alienation Of political at
fections. He'll hath no fury like a poll
tician scorned after years Of waiting.
It Is shame. Sympathy 1t is i'm
possible to refuse. All these years
have they sat with hungry and SLAYER
ing chops viewing with alarm the tn
cumbency Of republicans and denounc-
ing annually at state conventions. And
now those who were most frightened
and alarmed and whose voices rose
above others In denunclation fail to
catch the eye Of the imperial democrat
who has succeeded the peerless leader
as the hope OF the democracy
There is nothing like poverty to
make good company and draw men
together in common friendliness.
Where nobody has nothing nobody
else is envious. But with the advent
gins to roar and the animals to switch
their tails. Prosperity Is harder to
bear than adversely, harder for the
prosperous to bear meekly and for the
disappointed and needy to suffer under
comparison.
So the democracy of Iowa Is bound
ing and humping like a ball in a
bagatelle board against the pins set up
for marshalships and senatorial NOM
nations and misunderstanding and all
the possibilities Of place and profit for
which the late election disaster is re
sponsible. The gentle spirit of the
Dnce beautiful democracy of Iowa has
turned to gall.
The best way is let 'em fight. It's the
first time in a long stretch Of time
that they have had anything tangible
10 tight over. 1t may be long, long
time before another opportunity offers
Itself.

USE IOWA MINED COAL.


There has been such q ncrsistenr roar
going UP from Des Moines to use Iowa
Goods" that 1t is now time to give them
call on the proposition, and also
speak plainly about a few other mat
tiers in connection with this statement
OF patronizing home people and keep
ing the money In Iowa. A trip thru
the coal yards at Dcs Moines shows
there are two to one carloads OF coal
shipped to that place from Illinois
against the Iowa product. This is q
needless procedure Az the Iowa product
equals that Of the Illinois field for all
steam purposes.
The board of control has the letting
Of all coal contracts for the various
state institutions. They should give
Iowa the preference over the Illinois
coal. Why should coal be imported TO
the state when we have q quality that
IL equal in every way? Why should
money be sent from Iowa that would
go directly to the Iowa miners? There
is absolutely no reason. There has been
to-! os legislation along the line OF pro-
noting a square deal for tho Iowa
mines, but that would probably avail
nothing, as 1t would require a lobby
and be expensive to see that the Iowa
mines set what IL actually coming to
them.
The board Of control lets all bids for
fuel. The board Is appointed by the
governor of the state. II this thing of
using Illinois coal Is persisted in. the
operators and miners will ind 1t very
much to their advantage to sec that
men are elected to various Offices who
will. at least, give such contracts AZ are
made in Iowa to Iowa mined coal.
The operators Of mines In Iowa are

will permit of their mines being oper-
ated more OF the time. The miner 10
