WHITE SLAVERY IN IOWA

nav CD
Mason City has white slave case.
When this white slave agitation was
begun, people opined that it was only
in the big cities that such things could
exist and flourish. BY and by the fact
was made clear that this terrible evil
is much more prevalent than has gen
orally beenassumed. and that it -four
ishes in the small town as it does IN
the metropolis. Nor has the fact been
demonstrated that it Is an evil that has
recently been brought here by lmml-
grants. And again, ii seems strange
that such things should have existed
almost everywhere. and the authorl-
ties should have had no knowledge o.
such a state Of affairs, or should have
made no attempt to put stop TO II
However. it appears as If the officials
in many parts Of tho country were
thoroughly in earnest now, and tne
fart that many of these cases can bs
taken into the federal courts, insure'
swift justice to the criminals.

"ouR ONE BEST BET"

Along the transcontinental they are
'going to the fair Not like they used
to go along that highway to fairs and
circuses and the fourth" when they
hitched old Dobbin to the chaise and
logged quietly by, but with a rattle Of
exhausts like musketry in the early
morning. tn crush of wheels and amid
rolling clouds Of dust. And that brings
UP the SUBJECTIVE dust Of a dirt road
at its best.
If an observer had been perched
yesterday on the courthouse spire he
could have traced every principal
highway within sight by continuous
dust cloud. smothering trail that
hung above the road impenetrable to
the eye and that grew denser as the
day drew on. There was a vehicle on
every quarter mile Of principal road
way yesterday all day long. That would
be about the average And from morn
ing to night their progress was marked
by a pillar of cloud. plain as the or
iginal and biblical signal Of the road

side were covered with it. The corn
stalks crinkled their leaves with its ac-
cumulated weight and heat. The
houses by the way were full OF it..
About all the roads furnished yester-
day was opportunity for speed. The
dust took away most Of the pleasure OF
those who drove and brought on the
maledictions Of those who sat at home
on the leeward side OF the path.
What's the use Of it? Why not begin

The happest man in the world -
the poor fellow who earns just enough
money to pay his debts. Such man
is possessed of the happiness when
causes him to whistle and sing as ne
goes about his work and when ne
meets you on the street pleasant
smile, speaking louder than words

rich man, with a mortgage on every

A storm OF criticism has swept over
this part Of the state in regard to the
leasing Of Wall lake by the executive

criticism is due to the fact that the per-

in Wright county and whose name u
