An Incautious Liar.

There are unmistakable signs that the
democratic majority in house and sen
ate no longer finds Munchausen Mulhali
so greatly amusing. The earlier part
of his romance naturally dealt only with
lesding republicans. since these were
then in control OF national affairs.
When Mulhall desired to impress his
employers with his worth AS lobbyist,
1t was manifestly necessary that his
claims Of confidential, intimate relations
with public men shosld be confined to
prominent republicans. since only these
were influential. Now. however, he
has reached the period in his reminis-
ccncee that brings him TO the days OF
democratic control Of the lower house
OF congress, beginning with 1911.
Nobody believes that Mulhall infiu-
enced Congressman Underwood. the
leader OF the democratic majority on
the floor OF ,hc house. any more than
they credited his scandalous stories con
corning Senator Lodge or Congressman
Watson Of Indiana, or any other Of the
reputable men To whom he has bocn en-
|dcavoring to transfer his coat Of smut.
He was merely continuing In 1911 the
methods he had found so successful in
hoodwinking his employers during the
years Of republican control. The use OF
democratic names in 1911 better served
his purpose.
Democratic enjoyment over Mulhall's
stories will continue to lessen as the
reading Of his letters is prolonged. T.
ventually. II win dawn upon the coun-
try that this lattcr-day Ananias is try

did their faculty to convince. Salt

STATE TO PURCHASE FARMS.
Two for Epileptic and Penal Colon.
les and Other for RefOrmatOry
for Women.

DesMoines, Ia Dec. S,-~Next af
ter purchase of farm for the stat,
epileptic colony for Iowa must come
the purchase of two other farms
the state needs, namely:
State custodiai farm, for penal col
ony, to furnish place for short tims
commitments, strictly for reformater,
purposes.
NState reformatory for women, Il
be located on farm removed from
sny other state institution,
The same law which authorized the
board to purchase farm for the cpl.
leptic colony authorized the location
OF the custodial farm and the refor-
matory for women, Payment for
the same Is to be made out of the
millage taxes, and will be so made
.Urovided the courts do not hold, as
has been insisted in the capital case,
that all these hiillage taxes are ille-
gal and that principle of doing bus
J. iness is contrary to the constitution.
The plan of the legislature, though
that was not clearly expressed, was to
provide one custodial farm with a
view to ultimately having four or
more. A farm eli perhaps a thous-
: and acres Is necessary FOR this work,
The eoitage plan of housing the cons
victs would be followed. There should
be enough land so that all sorts OF
farm operations could be carried on
Possibly other industries would be
established. This is a part of the
general plan laid out for ultimate
ending of the convict contract labor
problem.
The reformatory for women j:
now at Anamosa a part of that state
reformatory, but it is contendeC
that few are sent there chiefly be
cause of the perjudice against send
ing women to a general state refor
matory. With a separate institution
for women it is believed that a wa,
would be found to care for many de
linquents who are now at large. Onl
a small area of ground is needed 70
this institution, probably 160 acre:
1t is the intention of the board t
take up these two projects soon al

places to visit before deciding thi
question.

IoWANs WIN CARLoT HoNoRs
Escher & Ryan, of Irwin, Grab
Honors at International
show.

Chicago, Dec. S.-Escher & Ryan
Irwin, Iowa, were awarded grand
championship OF the 1913 carlot cat
tie show with their load of Angus
yearlings. The same firm won first in
the 2-year-old class, this load being
declared the reserve champions
while V. NJ Scott, Paris, ILL.,, won
first in the 3-year-old class with
load of Angus. 1t was the first
time in years that the Angus won
first prizes in all age classes.
Awards were announced at
O'Clock by judges Ike S. Brown,
whe placed the winner in the yearl-
ing classes, and Thomas E. Murray,
who judged the 2 and s-year-old.
This was second time in two
years that the Escher & Ryan firm
won grand championship of the
show; their yearlings having won
the sweepstakes prize In 1911. They
did not show CARROTS in the 1918
International. A remarkable record
was made by this firm. 1t being the
eleventh International when they
won championship or first in classes
they have entered.
That the International Livestock
Exposition is of that character in
fact as well as name was again dem
ohstrated today when the neighbor-
ing dominion captured grand cham
pionship in the fat steer classes, for
the second time in succession.
Again it was victory for ], D.

Glencarnock Victor I'd is the spot
light occupant this time. He was
reserve champion last year and was
shown as a senior yearling.
The decision was approved with

consent Glencarnock I'd was voted
"the best steer On the grounds"

beautiful years in her home nc2f
Chanute, She was one of the most
popular girls in her home school, the
Harmony. Graduating from there
several years ago. She then attended
the High School at Cnanute Til fa,l
ing health made it necessary for her
not to finish the course. During her
sickness which lasted several months
she showed remarkable courage and
patience, She tried to make Others
enjoy themselves when she suffered
pain.
Tine many beautiful post cards and
coral offerings were only small tokens
Of the high esteem in which her
friends held her.
We therefore tender our heartfelt
sympathy to her bereaved parents,
her lifelong friend and cousin Ole
Russell and also her young gentleman
friend to whom she was engaged to
be married and whose kindness and
devotion to her In her long illness is
worthy of imitation by others, and
now what lesson shall we learn from
the life of our beautiful young friend?
Surely her life abounds in lessons OF
patience aud kindness to others even
amid physical pain. Let US think OF
her in the beauties of heaven OF
which Rev. ]. R. McFadden gave US
0limpses of 10 such kindly words, A
oyed one from our home is gone, God
called her we know not why; But we
know he loves us one and all So to
meet her in heaven we'll try.-A
Friend and Relative.
