Meditations of a Weak Mind.

Eds. Freeman-Tribune: The col
lossal intellect who is directing the
destinies of the Ellsworth News and
is attempting to tell the staid old
republicans of Hamilton county
where to head in takes exceptions to
a squib in the Freeman-Tribune a
short time ago in reference to Hon.
w. B. nQuarton who is candidate
for congress from this district on
the progressive ticket. Of course 1t
is characteristic of the average Bull
Moose that no one is supposed to
have any views on public or private
questions if he has not seen the
light according to Theodore Roose-
welt, and Bro. Satter is no excep-
ton.
Now, as to the relative merits Of
Judge Quarton and Congressman
Woods we have not heretofore nor
do we now pass an opinion. If you
are republican and believe in the
principles of that party it is natur-i
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1914-09-29

al you would vote for Mr.. Woods
whether he happened to be your
choice in the primaries or not. The
average bull mooser insists that the
republican party has outlived its
usefulness and just because Theo-
dore Roosevelt says so we must de-
sert the party and join their move
ment. Or are we to accept the tho
ory of the Roosevelites that they are
the only ones who have any princi-
pie? This writer assumes the right
to remain a republican as long as
he chooses and change his party af-
filiation when he is convinced that
some other party better represents
his views, and up to date one man
party, like the progressive, does not
appeal to him. Besides on points
where the two parties differ as in
the case of the recall of judges and
judicial decisions, we are decidedly
opposed to the views Of the progress
sives. We believe in law and order
and are not in sympathy with the
views that the average judge Is
wicked and a perverter of justice
and no bull mooser can make US &C
cept that theory. If judicial de-
cisions are to be submitted to the
mob without the facts and evidence
before them the courts may as well
be abolished. 1t is quite fashionable
to refer to those who believe in the
republican party as "standpatters.'
If we have any choice in being one
or the other we prefer being
standpatter to being an anarchist.

ed Miss Clara Lane, an October
bride, on Saturday night, when Mrs.
William Casey of Joplin, Mo-, enter
tanned about twelve friends at six
o'clock dinner at the home of her
parents, Prof. and Mrs. D. M. Kelly.
The table was distinctly bridal
table-a bride-doll with shower
bouquet as the centerpiece and a
miniature bride at each Of the
twelve covers. The place cards were
tiny hearts. A three course supper
was served and the evening spent
with fancy work. During the even
ing box from a florists was
brought in and presented to Miss
Lane with the explanation that it
had been left for her. 1t was found
to contain miscellaneous shower OF
gifts from the twelve girls assem-
bled, each gift being accompanied by
original verses, which will be as
highly priced as the tokens Of
friendship.

Wesley Martin furnishes us with
this interesting item:
"a storm was approaching from
the northwest. Looking to the
southwest from the courtroom win
dow, in Webster City, there appear
ed in midair at height cores
ponding with the window and at a
distance of perhaps 100 feet, a min
iature reproduction of the courtroom
window in which I stood. The glass
of the aerial window was beautiful
ly transparent. Through it could
be seen the waving branches of the
trees in the courthouse yard. The
approaching storm cloud, which in
the meantime had swung round to
the west, formed background Of
ink-like blackness to the picture. So
impressed was the writer with the
scene, that he called Judge Birdsail
and Clerk c. E. Buell. to- witness it.
AS we stood gazing on the strange
yet beautiful object, it vanished
back into the universe of beauty
from which it came"

Bomb From German Machine Drops
Within Block Of Foreign
Official Home.
AFTER THE WIRELESS STATION
Missile Is Believed to Have Been
Aimed at Plant on Eiffel
Tower.

Paris, Sept. 2S.-Four bombs
were dropped on the city from a
German aeroplane yesterday. One
missile, exploding in Avenue Du
Trocadero at the corner of Rue
Freyoinet, blew the head from the
shoulders of a man who was stand
ing on the corner with his daugh-
ter, and crippled the child. The
other bombs did little damage.
Crowds, taking advantage of a
beautiful autumn day, were prone
nading on the banks of the Seine
when the aerial warrior appeared
almost directly over the Eiffel tow
err. 1t is believed that the first
bomb dropped was intended for the
wireless station or the tower or pos
sibly for the nearby buildings con-
tanning army stores.
1t landed in Avenue Du Troca-
dero, not far from the tower, and
the explosion was heard for many
blocks. The houses in the vicinity
were badly damaged, many Of the
walls cracking and windows being
shattered.
The bomb struck only a block
from the American embassy at No.
5 Rue de Chaillot, where Ambassa-
dor Myron T. Herrick, who did not
accompany the government to Bor-
deaux, still makes his home.
In the wake of the bomb futtered
a German flag.
At the sound of the explosion the
promenaders in that section first
rushed for shelter and then, as the
airship moved on, they hurried t.
the scene of the havoc.
A Gordon of police was quickly
thrown about the debris and the
mangled body of the man was found
and removed. Near his body the
girl was discovered. Her lower
limbs had been shattered. Women
in the crowd wept audibly as the
child was borne to a hospital.
Among the houses damaged was
the residence of the prince of
Monaco. The buildings containing
army stores suffered considerably.
At the time of the attack, services
were being conducted in the Ameri-
can Holy Trinity church in Avenue
de L'Alma. Many of the congrega-
ton fled to the street.
In the midst of the excitement
the aeroplane dropped three more
bombs. One landed among a herd
of cows pastured on the Auteuil
race course. One COW was killed and
others toppled over stunned. A.
third bomb fell in Rue Vineuse, and
a fourth in Rue de La Pompe, a
quarter in which many Americans
live. Comparatively little damage
was done in either instance.
The missiles dropped yesterday
were the most powerful of those
that have been used in the aerial
raids on the city.
