is a crime; the workman who would
rather work than strike is held up
before the public gaze as an object OF
scorn and contumely. The heroes OF
this nation are famous for the num-

committees; others go into politics
and "clean up the district TO the
great delight of those made clean

But the bravest and most powerful

WHERE THE FAULT Is.

Discussing THE Commissioner

Light of Experience" Henry NJ.
Waite, the city manager of Dayton.
league. which is now in session at
Its permanency depends upon
intelligent citizenship, and their
continued determination TO keep
partisan politics out Of municipal
affairs
The trouble with that sort Of coun-
sci is that communities which have
intelligent citizenship and are de-
termined 10 keep partisan politics out
Of municipal affairs can make any
system Of city government work.
They do not need a city manager.
The problem OF municipal govern
ment in the United States has TO do
with citizenship that is not always in
telligent about city affairs and Is IN
f1uenced not only by partianship but
by a thousand and one other con-
siderations
In New York. for example, the
most perfect city government ever
administered by man could not sur
vive an election if the police enforced
the excise laws or the numerous
other statutes that interfere with the
personal liberty of citizens Four
ffths OF the people who vote for
Tammany's candidates do so because
they believe that what is called re-
form government means NEEDLE
some interference with their rights
and privileges.
The failure of municipal govern
ment in the United States is in real
ity the failure of state legislatures
and should be treated as such.-New
York World.

ONE of the magazines has under
taken 10 define the difference between
immoral and immoral, but after II
had completed the task, perhaps to its
own satisfaction, we are still crop
ing. What do you make of this:
Immoral stands to immoral in much
the same relation as unregenerate
stands TO degenerate. If you commit
some act Of which the arbiters OF
either disapprove, the category that
you go in all depends on whether the
arbiters have previously brought the
ethical constitution and bylaws TO
your notice"
IF we understand it. and we don't
think we do. we may or may not. as
the case may be. be immoral without
being immoral, and vice versa.
WITHOUT reservation we may state
that as man we have never envied
the life OF a woman. AS a woman
we might with equal freedom from
reservation state that we would not
envy the life of a man. That would
be splitting the proposition $3.50. but
II does not bulge US from our posi-
ticn. All other considerations aside
the more or less solitary imprison-
ment which most women appear TO
find happiness in would be unendur
able 10 a man. Men like TO go home
and tell how busy they have been
with mental reservation as TO the
time devoted to swapping personal
experiences.
The Mystery OF the Paddle.
(NOtre Dame Scholastic.)
When the student body in toto or
pluribus unum go TO the city 10
see the movies or TO partake Of a re-
past at Michael's habitat, they go
via Hill. Let me say this in brackets
right here: Never take a Hill on a
full stomach. If you do you'll be
sorry, that's all. When the r. S. B.
go to S. B., they take the Hill. All
the way down they sing tbs a Long
Way Back to Tipperary." And it is.
For me, however, I'd prefer they'd
sing an anthem of some kind-sOme-
thing appropriate TO death, and death
so adjacent. When at last after much
difficulty, through deep roads and bad
weather they get off at the c., S B.,

Former Swamp Produces Record
Breaking Corn Crops.

The man who makes ''the desert
blossom as the rose" has nothing on
the Lyons boys, Andy and Tom, who
have reclaimed something like five
hundred acres of what was formerly
a veritable swamp during wet wealth
er and over which the Miami, when
out of its banks spread like small
ocean.
From a wilderness of rank bottom
vegetation, underbrush and willows
a farm has been made and one which
probably has no equal for depth and
fertility of soil in the entire state.
The history of the retaining of
the Lyons ranch would describe
week after week of hard, unremit-
ting toll in cutting trees, grubbing
out underbrush, ditching and levy
ing, but the results have convinced
the most skeptical that even a swamp
can be converted into tillable land
and produce record breaking crops.
Few who knew the bottoms north
'of the old Dickey lake could today
find one Of the old landmarks, and
where once grew bottom grass,
smart weeds and brush, now stands
acres of monster corn.
Something over three hundred
acres, were put into corn on the
Lyons ranch this year, producing a
yield of more than fifty bushels to
the acre of what is probably as fine
corn as was ever grown in Bates
county, and this mostly on new land.
About one hundred acres will be
sown to wheat this fall and a greater
acreage of corn planted next year.
A handsome new bungalow has re-
placed the old unsightly shack which !
was destroyed by fire and new build
ings, are being constructed for, stock
and farm machinery.
Of course there yet remains much
work to be done, but the Lyons
brothers have demonstrated that it is
only question of short time when
their ranch will be one of the great
est producing farms in the county.
