sHAnklAsp BILL At HOME.

The saloon petition Of consent was
held sufficient in Des Moines because
a majority of the voters had signed
it. The drys had not yet brought pub
lie sentiment in Des Mo&nes up to the
degree of intelligence UPON this sub
ject which exists in other towns OF
less population and less pretension.
The issue was tried out by the mulct
petition method and the saloon ele-
ment won without great difficulty.
ordinary necessity for the Shankland
bill in the home OF its author.
In Des Moines many conventionally
respectable people are willing to sign
q public petition demanding that nine
ty or more places be licensed in that
city to provide rendezvous for the dis
orderly and sometimes disreputable
classes OF population. They believe it
good public policy to let men make
business of pouring frewater into the
poor devils of that city SO as TO incite
to dissipate their weekly pay cheek
while the little woman in the ragged
shawl does washing to buy shoes for
the children.
So-called respectable people believ-
ing in this sort of thing as they do in
Des Moines it is altogether likely that
they would have voted as they signed
or more so. The vets were able to
win by the petition method in town
where the majority are still wet. Let's
be honest about this thing. 1t is not
because the mulct petition is unfair TO
either side that the vets have sought
to have it abolished by the legislature.
but it is because in certain very closely
divided communities the vets have lost
out that their bill to substitute the bal
lot appeared. Until some town went
dry by petition We never heard OF the
need of a change in the system. The
Shankland bill was essentially saloon
measure designed to make it little
easier to obtain consent to ply ne
farious business. business which is
always at war with society's best in
terests and with which all decent men
should be at war but with which, sad
as it may seem, they are not always
at war.

A Dose of Fine Day.


Some take a snifter, but I take day
And down goes the sorrow and out
goes the care.
And off ty the troubles furlong away.
And when you want medicine, l say
the air!
Ho, the bright day shines.
A cupful, and then.
Away with your red wines.
A cupful again!
Some like cocktail, but can get up
With one gulp Of weather and think
I'm remade,
For Gods in the brew OF the day in
this cup,
And who's any reason to feel they're
afraid!
A dose Of the day, sirs,
The best dose to choose
For curing the heartache
And chasing the blues!
Some an eye-opener. mine be the drink
OF the dawn and the day to be splen-
did for aye,
With light in the pathway to cheer you
and wink.
And the breath Of Gods beauty
above in the sky.
All, the fine medicine,
Best dose that's known,
The fine day forever.
And every grief flown!

REJOICING IN CALIFORNIA.

Riverside county, California, voted
upon an issue of s1,125,ooo of bonds for
hard surfaced roads on the 18th OF this
month and the vote Of its people was
better than five to one for the roads. In
the town of Riverside the vote for the
srt region" explains the Los Angeles
Express. rolled up the biggest bond
totals. In Coohella the vote was 14s
to nothing. Indto recorded 10 for to 6
against, Thermal 12s to 8. Mecca 81
to 5, Palm Springs % to o.
The Los Angeles papers believe that
''The victory for the bonds is the more
pronounced in view OF the disastrous
freeze that wiped out the orange crop
last year and left the growers fnan-
ciaily pinched."
It also appears In the same news
paper that San Bernardino county is
rejoicing over the Riverside vote be-
cause an election to vote s1.25O,000
road bonds will come up In that coun-
ty In February. with Riverside's
bonds voted" says the Express,
Orange building its new roads and the
Los Angeles system completed, it only
remains for San Bernardino TO provide
the connecting link with both River
side on the south and Los Angeles on
the west to form the greatest chain OF
highways in the west"
Riverside county in California is al
most identical in population with Web
ster county in Iowa but probably has
no such property valuations as exist
near Fl. Dodge since there are no "des
ert regions in Iowa. Orange county in
California has very few more people
than has Marshall county and no such
wealth Of realty. San Bernardino coun-
ty IN California, where they are now
SO sure of voting s1,250,oOO for paved
roads Is smaller than either Scott or
Linn counties in Iowa and about the
same in population as Dubuque or Pot
tawattamie counties.
But what is Iowa going to do about
1t? Send Iowa men out to California
to pay road taxes and enjoy those
roads or keep them here and build
roads for ourselves"

A LESSON OF CALAMITY.

Holiday time is usually marked by
soms terrible tragedy. This Christ
mas season was not an exception. The
news editor who sat wondering where
and how the story of disaster would
"break," whether it would be wreck
theater disaster or some other form
OF horror and sudden death wrote his
date line from Calumet yesterday.
1t is an especially pitiful story of
children happy IN the nidst Of Christ
mas festivities ono minute and the
next instant writhing under the iron
feet of frantic mob which stampeded
like cattle.
The disaster q. Ealune, enrna sizes
the fact that a fool may be more
dangerous than criminal. There was
no occasion for panic beyond the
frightened outcry Of fool. And at
that signal a mighty crowd of intelli-
gent human beings went mad and
crushed the life out of nearly four
score children. Calamity is bearsble
only when It teaches a lesson. The
fool who shouted fire was only the
first fool. The people who lent them
selves to unreasoning panic belong in
the same class. Left to themselves the
children would have probably gone out
Of the room as they go out Of the
school building when the fire alarm is
sounded. So much training and dis
cipIine lends to common intelligence
and steadfastness of mind and soul. II
was their elders who stampeded and
lent the infection of panic to the chill
ATen.
Il Is training every person needs
- every one should learn to swim No
body knows when he shall need it but
there comes time in almost every
fotwhen the mind needs the support
oE discipline in emergency. The fire
dYnl I'm the public schools is not only
Z p1otection within the school build
an91 Unf elsewhere And 1t is a fea-
stzsrs ok education too much neglected

euoh horrors as that at Calumet may
- avoided. It is likely that had the
