the duty on $15 suit Of clothes Is 80
cents are you, Mr.. Free Trader, sure
that If the 80 cent duty was taken of
you could buy the SIS suit for $14.10?
OF course not. It would be silly con-
clusion. =
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: There
are lot of people behind the tariff
schedules toward which the democrats
are now heaving dornicks and they
are bound to do some hollering. The
funny thing about the situation, too, Is
the fact that when the covers are
pulled down lot of these fellows In
the danger zone are found to be good
democrats.
Muscatine Journal: Modestly the
Marshalltown Times Republican says:
Iowa newspapers should take notice
that when Marshalltown is asked for
5000 for a public building In one
week she responds with $4,000 and
then adds $4,000 for new hospital
for good measure" But what does
the Times Republican think Of city
that votes $4,000 for new city hall
and can't induce the city council to
spend It?
Boone News-Republican: A west
ern banker, democrat by the way,
has refused to loan a sheep raiser
money because he believes the new
tariff would destroy the wool industry.
Isn't this case for Woodrow Wilson's
glbbet of Hanan?
Sioux City Tribune: Illinois may
have scored one In frst allowing wom-
en- to vote, but Iowa has beaten nli-
nois to nonpartisan judiciary.
The last legislature in this state
passed law under which candidates
for judicial nominations will appear
on all primary tickets without party
affiliation designated, and the nomi-
nees will then appear on all tickets
without reference to their party
fatth.
Such a law has been rejected by the
Illinois legislature. AS a result some
Of the higher class judges are resign
Ing. They refuse longer to be the
football and victim of mere politics.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: In many
parts Of the state there are complaints
that wolves are playing havoc in the
sheepfolds There are 100000 hun
tiers In the state who pay license.
There are perhaps 100000 hunters In
the state who pay no license. And
In spite of This army Of armed sports
men the wolves are more than holding
their own In Iowa We have too many
hunters who XIII song birds, and who
probably would not know a wolf II they
happened to meet one. Perhaps we
are Offering too high q bounty for
wolves to make their determination
possible and perhaps much of the dam
age charged to wolves is caused by
dogs.
Davenport Times: Much advice in
regard to how to keep cool Is printed
each summer. II one will consider his
body as sort Of power plant and then
see to it that heat generating fuel is
rot used in excess, then little trouble
will be experienced in keeping cool.
The diet that Is suitable for winter Is
no more suitable for summer than are
the clothes suitable for winter adapted
to summer wear Most people know
how to dress for the heat, but few
seem to realize the Importance Of
regulating their diet as we'll.
Clinton Herald: Now that that
railway clerk down at Cairo, ILL.,, has
disposed of sixty-one eggs at a single
sitting, 1t will be interesting to note
how many chumps will make an en-
deavor to equal or surpass his record.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: Congress
man Pepper Is tmploring Senator Cum
Minis not to refuse his endorsements
Of appointments which President Will
son may make for Iowa. It must make
some of the democrats very envious Of
the senator because he seems to exer-
else such an influence over the Wilson
administration.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: Emperor
William is war lord, all right. But
his energies have been wholly directed
against ineficiency and In the twenty
five years of his reign he has won
scores of victories. His reign has wit
messed more substantial progress In
it's whole history.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: President
Wilson did some valiant lobbying in
congress Monday He did not at
tract as much attention, however, as on
his first personal visit on the floor Of
the house did, and it Is probable that
such appearances Of the president will
fall to call out any unusual attention
In the future from lack Of interest and
novelty Then, possibly, the executive
will make his appeals to congress
from band wagon.
Chicago Record-Herald: Vacations
are for all. He who can't take q
