THE LATEST FOOL SUGGESTION.

The suggestion is being made and
urged that 1000 acres Of land in the
western part Of the state shall be pur-
chased With money paid in for hunt
ing licenses and deer farm thus es-
tabltshed. AS is generally known q
herd of deer inhabits the country near
Avoca the number Of which IS est;-
mated TO be about $50 The farmers
tnereabout complain Of dam age to
crops done by the animals and annoy
ance arising from the presence Of so
large herd roaming where IT chooses
under protection OF law. So, having
the deer, 1t is now proposed to buy j
big farm and maintain the herd
To what purpose? Certainly there
is no person in Iowa so utterly silly
as to imagine that this state may
breed deer for sporting purposes Then
10 what possible purpose could a deer
farm Of 1000 acres be purchased and
maintained at large expense and why
c-iOAAH vic Pd1u iH 1OI game
protection and conservation be com
Wandered to establish great, useless
and utterly foolish deer park in the
hills of Pottawattamie county?
The hunters license brought in a
pretty considerable sum of money. II
accumulated and has been burning in
the pocket ever since. A good deal o,
1t Is being spent well, some Of it is
being spent foolishly in furtherins
schemes OF game breeding almost as
silly as the proposition to start deel

Mr.. srysn and prohibition.

Mr. Bryan has made the declaration
in a signed editorial in his paper that
the saloons of Nebraska are respon-
sible for the defeat Of woman suffrage.
Undoubtedly they did not exert enough
influence to make up the approximately
10000 margin given against the amend :
ment 1t is not probable that a soil
tary saloon man voted for suffrage in
the whole state of Nebraska. II We
walt until they can be converted to
the cause. woman's right to vote is a
long way OF. 1t has been generally be-
lieved that with the right extended to
women prohibition OF the saloon would
soon follow. but the program now is
to go ahead with the prohibition move
ment regardless OF the fate OF equal
suffrage. Even Mr.. Bryan favors this
for in the same issue of the Commoner
in which he charges suffrage defeat to
the saloons he urges prohibition upon
his party as state and national issue.
And judging from what has already
happened turnout the country with re-
spect to the two issues prohibition
appears to be the stronger. Maybe
Mr.. Bryan is right in placing prohibit
ton in Nebraska as the antecedent OF
suffrage.-Fremont, (Neb) Tribune.

RAILWAY CROSSINGS.

The first thing the Iowa Legislature
should do when 1t convenes IL to enact
a law to compel all railroads to put
all highways crossings on level with
the railroad tracks clear across their
right of-way, or else put them over
or under the tracks. This Is imper-
atiye to protect the lives Of auto
mobilists and others crossing railway
tracks that are not patroled by
watchmen or protected by safety
alarm devices. The law should also
compel county supervisors to coop.
crate with the railways and put all
highways approaching railway cross
ings in reasonably safe condition
and level them up with the highway
across the railroad tracks where there
Is grade crossing. The county
should bear all expense except that
on the right of the railroad
all Of which for original construction
and maintenance should be borne by
the railroad. The law should go into
effect Immediately after 1t has been
PASSED by both houses Of the leg
islature and received the governors
signature. The lives OF the people
must be protected. no matter how
careless they are. and The railroads
and county boards should unite to in
stall every safeguard possible. The
only way TO accomplish this is to enact
a law to compel II. Any crossing that
is not under. or over. or on a level
with the railroad tracks. IS DANGEROUS
The crossing that has to be run down
into, or run UP onto Is not a At cross
Ing to be maintained and should be

Gus crossings in the state can be rem

WHAT ABOUT OUR BOYS.
TAlsona Republican,

Algona IL now a city Of perhaps T.
900 or more people. Among here citi-
zens we have several hundred boys and
young men. It is a proposition for these
boys to find a place for amusement or
pastime during the long. cold winter
evenings. You can not expect boys
from say IA TO 20 years OF age to spend
their entire time at home for they need
the association of other boys and past
time in games and sports not always
permissible at home. Boys win con-
gregate and form gangs. they will have
their associates and friends, they will
have their sports. During the warm
weather outdoor sports are in order.
but in winter warm place is needed.
Young men and others over 81 years OF
age find amusement in the pool halls
and bowling alleys, but minors are
barred from entering these places. This
is a proposition that should be consid-
cred by every parent in the city. There
Is not place for our boys and II they
congregate in stores and restaurants
they are soon made acquainted with
the fact that their presence and noise
is not desired. Where will they go?
AS result they are forced to gather
at the livery barns. in alleys and other
places where the environments are not
always for the best. Boys are growing.
they are full Of life and they require
an exercise and influence that viii
make them stronger both physically
and mentally. II would cost but 1T
tie to maintain a place where they
could meet. have their games. read and
pass the time In good clean atmos-
phere. Algona has churches and fine
school houses. a high school with fine
gymnasium, but they are closed to the
public and especially to the boys and
young men during these lon evenings.
Something should be done, or open up
the pool halls and other places of
amusement to them. conducted by hon.
oraole men in legitimate manner and
where the evil influences would be
much less than In the alleys and by
streets. There Is not parentNn AL
coma who would not prefer to have his
boy in pool hall, than the know of
his sneaking thru the alleys and into
barns. where the most horrible habits
are often formed. Give the boys good
clean place with plenty Of liberty under
the direct supervision OF some good
man and they Will grow up into hon.
orable law abiding citizens They are
going to have their. sports. and II they
do not have them in one way they will
in another. and the influences and en-
vironments surrounding them during
their sports VIII determine to a degree
their after lives. Give the boys a
chance and they win make good
