TRAMPs TOO NUMEROUS.
Woodward ENTERPRISE.

The tramp and genuine buns are
getting altogether too numerous now
DAYS Facts in the case are they are
getting TO the point where they think
they own the country and all the"
have 10 do is to demand things and
they will be given them readily enough.
Just few days ago they nearly
killed the mayor of Perry and as re-
suit of the fracas, Marshal Hart is N
bed with nervous prostraton. Nearly
every paper we pick up mentions some
depredations pulled off by them. We
think this should be stopped. II the
Ia ,.Iess is allowed 10 overrun the law
abiding citizens it seems TOO BAD.
When the tramps are discovered IN
town they should be run out II TINS
was carefully attended to by'each town
no matter how large or how small
they would be continually on the move
and would have less time to harm IN
nccent people Four-fifths or a larger
perccntage than that, are able oodied
strong men. and could work II they
would. but they are too lazy, and that
is no reason why the man ;nat does
work and earn what he gets should
hand them out a lunch every time they
come around.
A, Perry they have standing order
that when q tramp solicits at the
houses, the people should Immediately
call up the city clerk and the said
tramps would De taken care OF. We
should have some such orders here
II We don't. We think we know Of some
people that will take care Of them.

In about two months another crop
of Iowa boys and girls Will be harvest
ed from Iowa high schools-a mighty
good crop by the way. The next two
months will witness some strenuous
work getting everything up" in
shape to graduate And among the
things that must be plugged up" on
is one not included in the courses of
study. but that is so important that 1t
stands every boy Well in hand TO have
the lesson learned before he goes GU,
from his school to work.
1t is the lesson Of giving full meas

The boy who enters upon his career
Of work-and every career is career

not to 90 more than he is paid for doing
will never be paid ve1y much. But the
boy who always gives even trifie
more of service than ne is paid for
dong. will mighty soon be paid for
doing more.
l; is the little things that count.
The BOY who gets on the job three
minutes late every morning with per-
feet regularity is robbiag his employer
Of only small amount of unearned
wages. But he is ropoiEg himself Of
vastly more. He is rCbbing himself

chance Of advancement. He may ad-
vance because of his ability. but he
will never advance as he might have
done had he evidenced disposition 10

Wages are figured on The hour basis
and time is money. The boy who
enters the store or shop or office where
he is employed just as the CLOCK
strikes the hour of starting work is de-
luding himself If he thinks ne Is
satisfying his employer. He isn't. he
IS robbing his employer and no en-
plover !s satisfied when he knows ne Is

We know that Clifford Thorne is an
indetatigable worker along these lines.
We know he has definite ideas on the
subject and we are willing to pay him
for it. We did not vote for him, but
we believe in sustaining him after
the majority did vote for him.
And we have no ak TO grind. Clifford
has nothing we want and he can do
nothing for US under the sun. He has
a $1,000 Job that we do not envy. and
he earns every penny, and he ought 10

MEDDLING MEDILL MCCORMICK.
rN1,.5. REPRESENTATIVE


There were in the Legislature just
enough Of repu blicans and progressives
together 10 elect the two senators. and
these two parties in their respe ctive
caucuses voted 70 elect Sherman for
the long term and Funk. the progress
sive nominee. for the short term. An
alliance Of this sort would have result
ed in the election Of two senators not
very far apart politically and capable
together Of accomplishing something
along what are coming 10 he accepted
generally as progressive lines: but
seven or eight Of the progresslVes IN
the legislature refused to be bound Dy
their own caucus. and so the oaliotlhS
has resulted in the choice, not OF re-
publican and a progressive, but OF the
same republican and q democrat. For
this perverted outcome the man PLAINLY
most responsible g Medil Mccormick,
whose genius for making trouble with
out profit will have 70 be recognized
and admitted II was he who came
out into Iowa last SepteE Der and in
duced the progressive state convention
to nominate state ticket, which action
undoubtedly angered and drove back
70 Taft enough republicans to have car
ried This state for Roosevelt. and just
as his responsibility and irrepressi-
bility. all exerted in behalf OF what ne
thinks or al least calls progress, re-
suited in giving the electoral vote OF
Iowa to a democrat instead Of pro-
gressive. so they have now given an
Illinois senatorship to a democrat
when a progressive might just as We'll
have been chosen. We do not know
what is to come out of the present po-
litical tumble. and we nave not Deeh
and are not quarrelsome over a ques-
ton Of names. but we are sure tnat
nothing of any account, republican, pro-
gressive or republican progressive can
be brought out Of situation in Which
Nedill Mccormick is officiating as
steering committee.

intention to support Senator Cummins
for reelection as the best hope for a
republican victory. That is one favor
able indication Of a get-together policy
among republicans that will mean VIC

While the present legislature
doesn't just suit the more radical good

clouds have blown away it will be
found that they have made haste slow

the Iowa Falls Citizen.
The Sac Sun is disposed to look with
favor upon the proposition Of Post
master General Burleson that the
postmasters affected by the recent civ
IL service order instead OF retaining
their offices until they are removed fo-
cause or are ready to resign should he
required to take the civil service ex-
animation along with other applicants.

demned because its application might
affect political partisans one way or

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

1t seems strange that in a rich state
like Iowa there could De criticism for
legitimate expense contracted by two
servants who have served as faith
July and as effectively as did Thornc
and Henderson. There are forces in
this state, however, which take every
opportunity TO attack Clifford Thorne.
The present attack is only an incident
in a long continued warfare upon one
who has been almost the first man to
bring vast knowledge OF rates and
skill in rate science to the enforce
ment of the law and the protection ot
the public, rather than the evasion of
the law and exploitation of the pup
lie"
The men who have charge Of a pub

lie ownership, can see little utility in a
utility commission and will not be dis
appointed If matters are left in their
