THE SIDEWALK HOG.


Have you ever noticed the lack Of
manners of people on the city side
walks? - asked an observing citizen.
| How often does 1t not happen that
three or four persons walking abreast
march along the sidewalks, talking
and laughing, paying no attention to
other people coming in the opposite
direction and who are forced to the
curb or against the buildings because
the prom enaders will not yield an
inch. Why should sidewalk hogs be
permitted to monopollze the walk,
while offenders of lesser magnitude are
fined because they happen to be in the
street," ..g
The sidewalk Is for everybody, but
common decency should induce every
user of the sidewalk to extend the
proper courtesy to others using it. Be-
cause the sidewalk is for everybody
is no reason why 1t should be the alb
solute property Of selfish crowds. In
big cities sidewalk traffic is regulated
automatically. People using the walk
can not play hog They must be sat
isf1ed to make any Roadway regardless
Of their personal likes and dislikes.
If everybody were to consider that
others also have rights. that others
are entitled 70 the use Of the side
walk there would be no sidewalk
hogs

THE ELECTIONS.

The lesson Of 1t all is that however
earnestly many republicans may labor
for the regeneration Of the party upon
their faith in the ultimate outcome, IT
is necessary before general victories
can be hoped for to furnish the real
goods of party reorsaniza zion and re-
form. It will be hard enough to salts
fy the skeptics as to the eenuineness OF
the goods when they are actually pro-
duced: but until the goods are pro-
Quoted 1t is question Of marking time
all around. And by the goods we mean
the adoption of an apportionment Of
delegases that Is fair, the recognition
OF state primary laws. the Limitation

tee and the elimination from the com

The reorganization Of republicanism
must be effected with this in mind. The
party can not insist on leadership and
issues which defeated 1t and gave the
democracy a new lease Of life and
power and entertain any we'll founded
hope Of victory. Wilson has made
good. He has proved bigger man
than expected. And instead of losing
strength has established simself as the

not prompted by any Interior or per-
sonal motive for they do not indulge
in "escapades' themselves and depre-
cate such indulgence in others. They
say the law was not intended to reach
this class Of offenders and should not
be applied beyond its intent, that the
state should enact laws and impose
penalties in cases not precisely to be
properly classed as white slavery.
No doubt it Is true that the inter-
probation of the Mann law goes far be-
yond any intent Of the congress that
passed 1t. It was aimed at CONNER
cialized white slavery and not at the
immortality which has been referred to
as "escapadlng." It is true that the
not depend on the general government
to correct evils Of which the correc-
ton and punishment seem to belong
to the state. But very large proper
ton of the public IS looking for re-
cults. The governments interpreted
ton of the Mann law seems productive
of excellent results and is popular be-
cause it seems to deliver the goods.
There's a reason for this attitude
on the part Of the public. The local
bootlegger may flourish and the blind
pig prevail fairly we'll under local ar
rangement until they run against the
snag OF national enforcement of reven-
ne laws. Then things begin to happen.
There is a marvellous difference be-
tween the respect shown by offenders
to law as represented by Q. S. mar
shall and by a county sheriff or po-
liceman. Persons who are willing to
take an "escapading" chance with the
police turn pale at the thought OF the
marshal and the Mann law and the
federal court. The difference in en-
forcement gives the results. That is
why the Mann law is popular as it
has been interpreted.
Whether law makes for true morality
or not 1t is certain that non enforce
ment Of law makes for immortality. IN
der non enforcement gross immortality
becomes an "escapade." Under the
stern eye Of the Mann law 1t sinks 10
the ignouiny of crime.
Whether or not the congress meant
to give the Mann law a general ap-
plication the fact that the courts have
so applied 1t seems to meet that high
general approval which refuses TO ar
que but applauds. IF it were 10 be

the BUSINESS FIELD.

Irregularity is one of the chief char
acteris,ics of the business situation,
but there is little evidence of genera
reaction. Ir certain lines and sections
Of the country the volume Of trade is
expanding. with gains recorded over
last year in some instances. Lower
temperatures turnout a considerable
area have had the effect of stimulating
the demand for sea sonaple merchan-
disc and it is significant that prompt

STRAINING CREDIT.

There once lived in Boonsboro, (for
1t was then Boons boro). very honest
and active young boy who later went
out into the world and accomplished
a good deal financially. He went to
Waterloo and started in with manu-
featuring concern, Of which he after
wards became the head. This young
man was always known as the soul OF
honesty, was regular church goes and
member and everyone predicted his
success, but after time he was caught
In the tolls Of criminal action and
got into severe trouble, tho we believe
he was never compelled to serve SEN
tence.
The trouble with this young man was
that he strained his credit and the
credit OF the concern and lost large
amount Of money for his creditors. The
echo has Just been heard in Waterloo.

WILSON AND BRYAN.

Professor Wilson has been President
Wilson long enough to afford line
upon his qualifications and the char
acter Of his administration. When he
had finally been elected thru the soli-
darity Of the democratic vote and the
bullheaded arrogance of republican
leadership that disrupted its own party
strength his selection Of Mr.. Bryan as
premier was accepted as evidence that
the president meant to lean on Mr..
Bryan as the principal Of schools de-
ponds upon the school board. II was
to be a Bryan administration. Bryan
was the strong man in the estimation
Of the public, Wilson the creature of
Bryan by nomination and the accident
Of peculiar election crcums tances.
Il hasn't turned out that way. This
has been a Wilson administration
quite as effectual!y as Roosevelt's ad
ministration was Roosevelt's Perhaps
1t has been Bryan aduinistra-
ton also, but Wilson has ridden ahead
with the reins in his hands and Bryan
has ridden behind IN his place. The
comparison is not TO the discrecit Of
Mr.. Bryan. He has ridden where he
belongs and 1t is vastly 10 his credit
that he has given no indication of
desire or made any attempt to be presi-
dent, put forward no claims thru his
friends to be the moving power and
influence Of the administration but out
side of his ridiculous insistence upon
the necessity Of his chautalking as a
means of livelihood, has been a very
dignified part Of the Wilson regime.
And Wilson has taken his place as the
head of the administration simply as
by right Of place and character and
has run things" He has been not only
leader Of his party but master of it as
Roosevelt was master of his party.
He has been as influential with
his congress as ever Theodore
Roosevelt was with his. To be
sure he found a party chastened by
1nnumerable defeats and carrying

which progressives had waged thru
several previous congresses and build

Cedar RAPIDS Republican,

The DEBORAH Journal says that first
class apples have been selling In that
city at so cents per bushel. The price
has been SO low that a considerable
quantity OF the fruit mas not been mar
keted. Some farmers have given
away apples for the picking. Others
have been feeding the fruit to the hogs,
and still others have permitted the
apples to lie on the ground and rot.
The Journal quotes apple prices in
Chicago and some other points not
very much farther away from DEBORAH
to show that the producer and the
consumer are not yet in the proper re-
lation.
II apples are selling in DEBORAH for
so cents per bushel. the fruit ought to
retail in Chicago for less than cents
for two apples, and the price in Fargo,
n. D., ought not to be 40 to 10 cents a
peck.
