Mr.. Wheelock was not only highly
respected. personally. In Colfax. but he
was well thought Of by both Des
Moines ana Chicago nnanciers. He
was considered . first class business
man. Therefore his friends have not
been able TO account for his evident
neglect OF the banks affairs unless that
he was so worried by the blackmailers
that he did not look after the financial
details as he should. 1t Is not believed
that II he was himself ne would have
failed to send in his state bank call
statement as he should, that he would
have allowed any doubtful paper to re-
main In the bank or that, last OF all,
he would have killed himself.
Personal Affairs in Bad Shape.
1t is known, beyond any doubt, that
Mr.. wheelock's personal affairs are
really in worse shape than has been
admitted. It Is known that the total
amount involved is about 100000 and
that at least one Des Moines man and
one Chicago man are heavily INTEREST,"
ed in this. But the large part OF this
100000 seems to have absolutely dis
appeared and no one can account for
1t.

The manners of the hog are bad and he
is far from beautiful;
His voice is scarcely pleasant to the
ear.
He is very selfish son. an offspring
most undutiful.
Who does not hold his parents very
dear;
And when he reaches fatherhood his
ways are truly odious;
He doesn't love his children-not a
bit.
He crowds them from the feeding
trough, no matter how commodi-
Gus,
He wants 10 occupy the whole Of it.
The Lady Hog resembles him-the
ways of good society
Are NOT the ways she follows in her
life;
She gulps and gobbes all her food and
never finds safety:
With rudeness every act Of hers is
rife;
She bites her babies frequently and has
been known to swallow them.
Which. anyone will tell you. isn't
kind.
Tho there are rules OF etiquette, she
never seems 10 follow them.
But wallows in her comfort unrefined.
And tho in social circles they'd be vel
coined very clammily
If they should try 10 enter in the

Yet Mr.. Hog and Mrs. Hog and all the
porker family
IN certain forms are taken in with
vim,
They may nor beautify the scene
they're homely, Of verify
But people do not keep the hog for
art,
And when it comes to footing up the
farmers prosperity
Noull find the hog has surely done
done his part!

A. r. Kepford state lecturer on
! tuberculosis:
I'm all the years you have co-operated
with me In the suppression Of tubercu-
losis, there has never come more OPP
perfume moment. Almost without ex-
ception the members Of the present
general assembly are willing to- effect
! lively smite the white plague Two
measures now pending are vital. One
bill to appropriate $4,000 for addi-
tional equipment at the state sanator-
ium at Oakdale. for advanced cases.
and a bill to authorize county boards
of supervisors to adequately care for
INDECENT persons suffering With adj
vanced tuberculosis This, first to bring
relief to an unfortunate fellow human
being: second. to protect the commun-
ity against the dangers of infection"
The state of Iowa can not afford to
hold any but the most advanced policy
toward the requests of those who are
engaged in preventive and curative
measures to be allied to this disease
If the people of Iowa could be polled
there would be found an overwhelming
sentiment in favor of doing everything
that can be done to relieve sufferers
and prevent the spread of tuberculosis.
If $4,000 is needed at Oakdale in
order to care for conservatives in the
best way, let US appropriate the money.
Seyerty-tive thousand dollars is q
small item in the budget of Iowa's ex-
penses and a very small item COM
pared with the ability of this state TO
pay for the equipment it needs and
should have. The bill to authorize
county boards TO adequately care for

duty of common humanity enacted into
legislation.

WHERE IT FALLS SHORT.

LDes Moines Register and Leader.l
Members of the roads committee are
busy calling the attention of their
friends to the good points of the road
bill that passed the senate last week
and that is scheduled to pass the
house this week.
They profess to be ready to intro
duce several additional bills creating
permanent road fund and opening
the way to counties to build better
than dirt roads. but II is evident that
their hearts are not in the PROPOSE
ton.
1t would be idle to say that some
good features are not to be found In
the bill that will become law. But
the bill does not make available dol
lar that is not now available. 1t does
not put ii in the power of the board OF
supervisors to turn a spade of dirt
that the board may not turn now.
Admitting that everything the
friends of the Law can claim for 1t is
warranted, in what county will the
county board with it's present road
fund select the main travelled roads and
actually make them into permanent
, roads?
The fact is the main travelled roads
are now pretty we'll graded for dirt
! roads and pretty we'll drained. 1t is not
on the main travelled roads between
the towns that these troubles are still
to be met with. No county board dare
take the county fund and surface these
roads. No county board elected by dis
trlc,s will have the least inclination tc
take the county road fund and Sc
spend 1t.
The proposed road law is perhaps
as good as any law that could be
drafted for the express purpose of no,
doing it. There are lot OF good feat
ures about the law. 1t is as good law
as anybody could write whose pun
| pose was to stop short of actually
changing the present wasteful method
| IF patching dirt roads.

bridge contracts, not because the su-
perviscss were corrupt, but rather be-
cause the, supervisors were incompe-
tent. And that does not mean that
they may not have been good farmers
or good, business men. az the word
goes. but they knew nothing about
bridges and bridge building and the
cost Of the bridges. and they had no
county engineer, no official, who was
looking out for the interests Of the
county, to consult with and to advise
them. It IL easy to comprehend how
many high priced bridges that were

Stunning any wrongdoing on the part
Of the supervisors. They probably did
the very best that they could. But
what supervisors in every county in
Iowa ought to be doing. would be the
substitution of concrete for iron
bridges. The average county keeps on
building bridges forever, as long as
iron bridges are used. By the time
that all the roads have been supplied
the elder bridges have to be replaced
by new ones. And SO a county is never
done building bridges. II concrete
bridges were built. the counties might
look forward to the time when the
annual expenditure for bridges could
be cut down to low figure and kept
there.
