Judge Lindseys Troubles.

Cedar Rapids Republican. The
troubles Of Judge Lindsey, of Dem
yer, who is known as the juvenile
Judge. seem to grow out of the fact
that he is too anxious to save the
young offenders. Those who are back
of the movement for his recall are
women who are thinking of the girls
who are made the prey of the young
offenders. The women are thinking
of the girls, while the Judge has
been thinking of the boys and two
humanitarian influences have come
into severe contact. The women do
not want too much leniency shown
toward the boys and the judge wants
to save the boys by all means. The
result is movement for the recall
of the judge and the women seem
to be on the warpath with deter
mination that has marked their en-
trance into public life. Mere man

The MlssIssIppi's Wealth.

Davenport Democrat: The wealth Of
the Mississippi river today lies in Its
water power, up to the present time
largely wasted, and not In Its trans
portation facilities. The completion
and operation of the Keokuk dam has
proved this. For years past we have
had dreams of a revival OF navigation
on the Mississippi, OF a nine-foot chan
mel from its headwaters to the gulf,
but 1t has never passed the dreamland
stage. The increasing territory OF the
railroads, with their enlarged carrying
facilities, have proved q severe handt-
cap to river traffic.
| The completion and operation of the
big Keokuk dam today stands as one
engineering world. Right here above
1 Davenport, on the LeClaire rapids, we
1 have one of the finest undeveloped wa
| ter powers imaginable. It's natural fall
is much greater than that at Keokuk

Are you really popular or are men
simply attentive to you?
That is a question that every
young girl should ask herself. She
should weigh it all very carefully and
then act accordingly. A girl who is
disliked by other girls finds her sue
cess an ephemeral one ind what she
may mistake for popularity is merely
a matter of common courtesy.
To be really popular girl. must
make herself affajble, she must be Of
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. whether
in the company of girls or men. with
out overstepping that chalk-line Of
morality which society draws for the
unmarried woman.
1t is often the case that beautiful
girl, fair of face and figure, is seem
ingly popular with men but not with
girls. She will offer as an excuse for
the girls not liking her that old and
threadworn excuse jealousy and
when a less attractive girl receives at
tention and courtesies from the
stronger sex she is very apt to look
upon that courtesy as a matter OF
sympathy.
There is a fallacy among most girls
that to be popular one must be beau
tiful. l know many an unattractive
girl personally who is SO tactful and
clever that wherever she goes she is
the center of an admiring group. She
needs resort to no subtle subterfuge
to attract attention. She may be a
little brown mouse and all of that,
she may be small town girl, but
there is something about her person
atty that is magnetic and she is ia
vored by men and women alike.
As rule girl who Is considered
beautiful is dreadfully soiled. She
seeks love and fiattery as flower
seeks the sunshine She is horribly
selfish and makes unreasonable de
mands of all with whom she is asso.
Iciated. There are, OF course, excep'
lions to this rule. but they are very
rare.

with men is spontaneously affable, she
