get from within? No doubt Mr..
Roosevelt would bring certain propo-
sicioas or at least a bundle of certain
well defined hopes with him were he
to call. He would without much doubt
entertain a pretty definite idea OF whom
should be, and carry some manuscript
constituting parts of the colonel's Chi
cago platform. No doubt George w.
Perkins would come along With his
chief but as against George and GER

THE COUNTY NEXT.
[Wallace's Farmer.l.

The public Is beginning TO realize
that the weakest spot in our modern
government is that of the city. The
public is long suffering. and will growl
and complain and even rebel in weak
sort OF way until some great public ne
cessity compels clear thinking and
prompt action.
There was no reform in city govern
| ments until the Galveston food, and
that great disaster to the city was pro-
ductive OF great blessings 20 the entire
country For the food swept out the
city government of Galveston and COM
PEELED the strong, clear thinking men to
| take hold and establish government
of their own. The plan they adopted
was improved upon until it is now
known as the Des Moines plan. The
calamity that befell the city of Day
ton compelled action similar to that OF
Galveston, but the citizens made a still
further mprovement-until finally the
cities of the United States are begin
ming to see the real nature of city gov
eminent.
BY and by we shall begin to see the
real character of the city: for the city
is simply corporation. and is SO rec.
ognized by all the laws Of the states.
The true idea of city government,
therefore, is for the people to elect d.
rectors for these corporations. just as
the stockholders of bank or railroad
elect their directors. These directors
elect the president and all other Of
ficials, wso actually do the work of the
corporation The citizens should have
nothing to do with government except
to elect a board of directors, calling II
a council or what not. and these should
not govern directly. but appoint the
executive and administrative officials.
and dismiss when 1t seems wise. That
is, they should have the authority TO
hire and to fire. the hiring and firing
being dependent on the integrity and
efficiency OF the appointees. This IS
true democracy or government by the
people and Is the only way in which
the people can govern effectively. 9th
erwise they will be governed by selfish
place hurters. as they are for the most

SCOTS TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL.

a page from The Davenport Times
lay on the EDITORS desk with a penciied
request to Note Scott countyts en-
terprise" The page was largely de-
voted TO pictures of the tuberculosis
hospita! Of that county az Pine Knoll"
Il IS fine building creditable to the
splendid county that built it on a
height overlooking the Mississippi with
beautiful river views of the Iowa and
Illinois shores. Other pictures show
the nurses building. interior views of
the rooms and one affords a glimpse of
q wide airy porch with rows of white
beds wheeled out Of The double doored
rooms when weather conditions are
favorable. OF all the pictures this one
and another showing a beautiful per
gola covered With rambler roses are
the most attractive and appealing.
The phrase enterprise q Scott
county" scarcely goes far enough. The
hospital is surely an evidence OF en-
rerprise bat it IS something much more
and vastly deeper in its story of hurna n
feeling and sense of responsibiIi-v be-
tween men one for another. SCOT,
county might have salved over IFS
conscience by building barrack poor

Instead there rose on the rive. height

SPARED, not only refuge for the sick
unto death but al assurance tina,
others were helpful and thoughtful! and
kindly and that brotherhood andures in
tenderness as in strength. Doubt no.
that those who lie on the wide porches
looking up the river and the green
stretches OF its shores see farther and
understand with gratitude that they
are not forgotten or despised but re-
mem bered Of men and that this knowl
edge is a healing medicine to their
bodies as to their souls. Nor doubt
that when SCOTS sturdy Teutors see
the hospital on the height they feel
that the money with which it was
builded and is maintained has been
well spent.
Scott county's tuberculosis hospital
is An example with which rich coun-
ties may compare themselves and the
righteousness and enterprise Of their
people. 1t is the sturdy German fash
ion Of caring for ones own home and

be full no matter how poorly equipped
they may be. There will always be
those to whom a few months in the
hospital under efficient care and ad-
vice would mean life and hope to their
families From the most sordid point
of view it will pay Scott county better
to care for and save men and women
than to bury them as paupers and
send their children to the poor house
or to those institutions misnamed in
this state industrial school instead OF
reform schools.

FARM EMPLOYERS LIABILITY.

tGrundy Republican,
There is one point, however. which
seems to be causing trouble. Why we're
farm hands and donestics expected? 1t
10 matter OF record that almost one
third OF all accidents occur around the
home and surely. the girl who goes in
TO home and does the mental labor
therein. is entitled to as much protec-
ton as the girl who works in a store.
Again. why should not the farm
hand be protected? His work Is more
or less hazardous he handles the ma
chinery. has the horses and cattle 10
look after. besides doing other work
in which there is always more or less
OF risk. And the insurance compan-
les, recognizing the greater risk. have
fixed higher insurance rates for dealers
who handle farm machinery. or for
shops that shoe horses. or do farm
work. so why not include the hired man
along with the salesman who shows
him how to run the new machinery
There may be some legitimate ex-
cuse for not including the hired girl
and the hired man in the lis, OF en-
pioves entitled TO recover damages
In case OF an injury but go far II Is
not apparent 1t would pc interesting
TO have the maker of the Law explain
WHY this exception was made
However. We would advise every en-
ployer Of labor in Grundy county not
to speculate too long upon these two
points. The rest OF the new law. is IN

one working for you. you have no de-

Earl Jones. the Corning musician.
who eloped with Shenandoah girl
AMI VINO later pleaded guilty to a
charge of kicnaping. has been freed
from the ;aformatory at Ananosa. The
application for his freedom has been
as spectacular fight as has been seen
in manr days. and has been won by the
young man. assisted by many friends.
ono OF whom knew him before the
crime was committed and others OF
whom have rallied to his support with
out knowing him personally.
But while the fight for his liberation
from Aaamosa has been won. 1t re-
mains to ht seen whether. after all, it
was worth INC battle. What will he do
with his freedom. now that he has it?
The girl originally testified that she
had been kidnapped. supposedly from
the influence OF her parents. who OPP
posed her marriage to young Jones and
were greatly incensed at the night trip
OF the young couple in their futile
search for g clergyman to perform the
marriage ceremony. But she has now
reversed her testimony and submitted
an affidavit to the supreme court that
was largely instrumental in securing
the order from that body to liberate
Jones under bond until the hearing.
Young Jones has been tried in the
furnace of adversely, and so far as his
case Is concerned, the supreme court
will have taken its action in vain il
the adversely does not serve to make
better man Of him. He had. according
to the testimony adduced at the trial,
something Of a reputation of ne'er-
do-well before the elopement that has
played so important a part In his life
the past few months. 1t was. in fact,
that phase of his character-that he
was merely "musician'-that induced
the violent opposition to him by his
sweetheart's parents.
Will he now, after his bitter expert
ence. prove to be something more than
musician" or will 1t prove that the
fight for his freedom was. after all,
little more than a straw battle?

MYERS AND LIQUOR,

NOW oy what strange stroke or rate
does o. p. Myers run for lieutenant
governor on the democratic ticket? Put
there too by democratic voters in a
democratic primary. He is a pro-
nounced prohibitionist. What tho all
his colleagues on the ticket are temper
ance men they are not SO out spoken
against the saloon. but Myers has a
reputation as fighter. With President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan and with
host OF Iowa democrats stands Myers.
Ihe distillery and the brewery have
lost their hold on democracy. They are
deficit not an asset, They give their
influence to the opposition when it
serves their needs Democracy stands
for manhood and womanhood and must
not belle its name. Myers will have
tense opposition but he will also have
tense support.
