A QUESTION OF cREDIBlL!rY.

The five mile bill passed the house
yesterday. This is the bill which if it
becomes law will deny saloons the right
to operate within five miles of any
school under control of the state board
Of education. II is particularly aimed
at conditions surrounding the state
university at Iowa City.
Yesterday two men were mos prom
inent in the struggle for and against
the bill, Koontz, representatives from
Johnson county and Iowa City. who
who urged its passage. koontz said
the business men Of Iowa Cry were
opposed to its passage, that saloons Go
not affect attendance at the scloc. and
defended conditions in Iowa City.
But Brockway, graduate and good
friend of the university, un!lampe-eI
by business connections and the jnau-
ence of the saloon interests in The uni
yersity town denied this. Brockway
was a leading student ia Iowa City, a
football star and ought TO know lis
Iowa City as well as another. He says
that in his four-year term there he
had been able to determine definitely
that the saloons do hurt the university
and alternate its attendance.
The evidence goes UP o the jury Of
public opinion as il stands. Which
would be the more credible witness
under the conditions. BrocAWay or
koontz?

Topics of the Times

Two of the magazines which deserve
honorable mention as free from the
hasty tendency to seek circulation thru
pandering to tastes which crave liter
airy "paprika" are Scribner's and The
Atlantic.
II the iowa Legislature were taken
for a hike for six miles or 50 today on
Iowa highways there would be some
thing doing tomorrow.
The serious objection Is raised by the
Sioux City Journal that when a new
Kansas law goes into effect: Any
nosey individual who cares to hang
around the depot platform need have
little difficulty in compiling Who's
Who and What's What" Of the local
liquor traffic" But what Of it? ANY in

public interest can hang around the
depot platform and keep pretty good
track Of who's who and what's what in
the matter of shipments from catalog
houses today. He can II he chooses
get pretty good line on what one mer-
chant and another is receiving by
freight if he hangs around the plat.

IOWA WATER POWER RIGHTS.
rSutherland COurier.1

Senator Cummins has sounded a
warning to Iowa to look out for the
attempts that Will be made to gobble
up the water power resources OF the
state in the near future. The water
power possibilities of the Des Moines
river are far greater than the combined
power energy of all the coal fields that
underlie the lands along its borders.
The real danger is that the public and
the capitalists will each pull against
the other and prevent the development
this great force for many years, which
is not wise for. unlike the coal deposits,
it is inexhaustible and had as well be
IN use now as to lie idle for many years
awaiting time when an agreement
may be reached as to their value and
terms OF development. They belong to
the public and should not be given
away for song, and yet should not
be valued so high that sub purchasers
of power would have to pay dividends
on an exorbitant capitalization.

THE LEGISLATOR AND THE LADY.

member Of the Ohio legislature
has introduced a bill creating com
mission Of three TO prescribe the fash
ions 10 be worn by the women OF Ohio.
The bill outlines the limits of iow
hecked dresses 10 fall not more than
two inches below the chin. denies the
right 10 wear transparent stockings
in any public place and strikes at the
very heart Of The peek boo business
by rendering il unlawful TO wear any
outer garment trimmed with lace or
the like thru which the color or texture
Of the skin may he distinguished. This
commission would be empowered 10
prescribe rules and regulations for The
designing and manufacture of women $
clothing and 10 prohibit such styles
and modes as it should see TT
Now we seem 10 be getting some
where. The bill of the Ohio legislator
comes az the psychological nomenr Of
Easter. If it be constitutional to create
a commission of men who shall have
charge of styles, fashions and limita-
ton Of cost let Us have il at once in
Iowa. Somebody run over 10 ex-Gov-
ernor Carroll quick and see about IL

low doesn't matter so much as high
ness or lowness OF price. Let's have the

Carroll right away.
Under the Ohio plan We could Danish
those Dig pattern hats as positively i'm

regulate millinevs under a mulct enact
ment, exalt gingham 10 its proper
place among dress goods, establish the

machines for exceeding the speed limit

little willing worker gets out the vote.
Pay attention. Have you noticed that
