NEVER SAID IT.

1Ui1bOllI
The Marshailtown Times Republican
makes good suggestion wkn it asks
State Game Warden Hinshaw to con
suit the common sportsuen. and not
the trapshooters. concerning the dis
position of the game fund. and the best
way Of conserving the needs of the real
sportsmen of the state. The Times
Republican. however, makes the
mi"take OF believing that u former
game hog is not a true sportsman The
publisher of this paper shot prairie
chickens in Iowa thirty years ago. He
shot them in season and out. He shot
them in quantities that taxed the
neighborhood to consume. He did 1t
because he was boy and did not
realize that the game supply could be
depleted. In later years he was just AS
strong for game protection. IT takes
man who has seen game on the Iowa
prsiries thirty years ago TO realize the
need of potectior today The younger
generation has no conception OF the
matter But because Il man once over
shot the limit, is no reason that he is to
forever remain game hog. There is
shooting in Iowa and always will be
shooting here. for the true sportsman.
The man who loves TO watch the work
of a good dog afeld. and who goes for
the real sport of II. caring little for the
bag at the end of the day. can and does
have sport in Iowa.

CAN'T MAKE 1T WORK.
[iIampton Chronicle. ]


One Otis l.. Sturgeon. who has been
making whirlwind campaign during
the past year against the Catholic
church and all Catholics in particular.
has Just got himself nominated as an
INDEPENDENT candidate for United
States senator by convention OF
select gathering which he gathered to-
gether at Des Moines
There Is evidence that the fellows
behind Spurgeon are more interested
in defeating Senator CuIrmins than
they are in defeating any certain Cath
Ole .o- office. Al amp:aye CT Spur
geon's Office at Des Moines was in
Hampton a few days before the las.
primary election distributing lying cir
cuiars against Senator Cummins in an
attempt to defeat him for renoIniDa
ton The fact is that the old railroad
and corporation gang 1t Des Moines
will never forgive Senator CUMMING
for the great work he did in cutting
them loose from the easy graft they
had been working on the taxpayers
of Iowa for many years. and they
would vote for the devil himself before
they would vote for Cummins.
1t shows that all Cummins said al
the Ilflc ut WdS BY oboo'
grasping corporations was more thar
true. The representatives OF these big
interests do not care TO what party q
man belongs. just so he does their bid
ding. and for years It was absolutely
| impossible for a man to be elected to
an office in this state who dared OPP
pose their holdup on the taxpayers Of
this state. The people finally awoke
to the situation and rallied to the sup

the dny that Ed Hunter and a few
other lesser lights in Des Moines were

of this state for what the railroads
should pay, they and their higher up

No War Talk in Schools.

The announcement that teachers OF
the st. Louis public schools have been
instructed not to. discuss the EURO
mean war brings little surprise. When
we consider the fact that so many OF
the teachers themselves are of df-
ferent nationalities and there are pu-
pills in the st. Louis schools whose
parents are from all parts OF Europe.
the wisdom OF the restriction is on-
vious. 1t will be difficult to eliminate
the subject from the thoughts OF
teachers and pupils since war news
will for some time fill the newspapers
and periodicals. 1t will be especially
difficult to avoid any Contemporaries
GUS references in the history classes.
But difficult as 1t will be to shun the
subjects entirely, this II the only safe
course. It may be argued that the
war could he discussed with absolute
impartiality, but no discussion Will
be considered impartial. There IL too
much prejudice among the NATIONAL
tiles Tho alert little folks would
be quick to seize on any statement
which could be construed as revealing
the teachers sympathies and there
would be continual friction.
But even after this wise precau-
ton is taken the war will have a
bad effect on the schools. 1t is de-
,asralixiY,g everything. One OF the
most prominent workers in the play
ground movement says that some of
the most active participants In this
endeavor have begun to lose interest

most civilized people in Europe are
slaughtering each other like naked

dwelling on the scenes Of carnage
can not be measured. Every min
lister is preaching about the horrors
OF the war. The editors have little
else to write about. Morning. noon
and night the European cataclysm
fills the thoughts OF Americans of ev-
cry calling. It Is a singularly for

THE SCHOOL mAm'As BOARDING PLACE.

A bulletin issued from a government
might have occurred in Iowa A county
superintendent at a conference in one
Of the southern states reported during
the past summer that the only place
open as boarding place for one Of his
teachers was in a home where the
husband was living with his second
band. IN this home We're five children
from the fathers first marriage, six
from the mothers first marriage. and
FIVE from their second marriage. There
were more children in this home than
the teacher had in her school, and
while the parents We're generally in
harmony, there was no general agree
ment among the three sets of children.
The teacher was forced to resort to the
schoolhouse for privacy in her studies.
A New England teacher reports her
experience: She went to the communi-
ty where she was to teach, one week
before school was to open. She in
tended to spend one day in arranging
for a boarding place; she spent the
week, however. The community had
| many good homes, any of which were
| willing to keep her for one night, but
a regular boarder. By the end of the
week she had become personally ac-
quainted with every family in the com
munity but had not secured boarding
place. She returned to her home and
notified the chairman Of the school
board that she would report for duty
as soon as word was received from him
that a boarding place was arranged for
Word came promptly. The teacher was
1 unusually successful as teacher. un
doubtedly due In part to the fact that
she had become personally acquainted
with all Of her school patrons before
| school opened
In many instances in all sections OF
the country there Is another condition:
A district where some woman of the
gossiping type wants to board the
teacher for the sake OF the information
concerning the children which SHARP
woman OF this type is apt to get from
her. No prudent teacher will want te
live under such conditions

Tn. Atroeity Tales.

The signed statement OF fSe Amerf.
can newspaper correspondents VINO
have been in Belgium, asserting that
they had seen no evidences OF German
cruelty. Is impressive. Reports OF otn-
er American and neutral correspond
erts who have been in the reir OF the
German lines are to the same erect.
The probability is that most OF tha
charges Of atrocity are pure inventions
and they would gain little cTedenes
here IL II had not been for Germanys
one act OF official savagery, the sack
and burning of Louvain.
There are always individual cases
OF cruelty In war Discipline can NOT
have An eye upon every hins sSss
happens and petty officers like the one
who recently in times OF peace slashed
the poor cripple IN Alsace. will al.
ways be found who will be guilty OF
wanton acts OF cruelty against civilians
in an enemy's country. But no DOUBT
the instances in this war have been
multiplied many times for the sake OF
stirring M martial spirit IN the coun-
tries opposed to Germany and with
view to influencing opinion IN this neu-
trail nation. The press herep rints tho
stories that come over for what they
are worth, just as 1t will print Ger
many's tales OF outrages when the In.
vasion OF Germany begins. II 1t ever
does begin.
The public here doubtless takes them
all with reservation. The burning o
Louvain damaged Germany In the eyes.
of Americans. It was an official act
officially admitted. But we question:
whether any of the atrocity tales nave
produced the slightest effect. Ger
many's real sin in American eyes Is
that she fights against all that Amer
lea stands for and that her victory
would fasten tighter than ever the ter
rible burden Of miiitarism upon the
world and place the fate of mankind IN

military coteries.--New York Tribunes

FORT MADISON AND THE PEN
Monticello EXpreSsl

The decision of Judge Hamilton up
holding the validity of an ordinance OF
the city of Fort Madison. forbidding
prisoners remaining in or about the
city. unless on state duties. will be gem
orally approved. The warden of the
penitentiary. who has some advanced
ideas concerning the treatment of those
convicted of crime hired out gang
of criminals TO pick cherries in the
town. and tho~e interested in enforcing
the ordinance brought the matter to an
issue. The people OF Fort Madison can
not be blamed for not wanting gangs
OF convicts scattered over the corpor-
alton. Such an institution as a peni-
tertiary has an unfavorable influence

streets or within the city limits.

lGrundy Republican,

The railroads want TO increase the
passenger rates now. claiming they
are not getting money enough, but so
long as they continue to haul passen-
sengers 5000 miles for SO, as Is done
now on so many tourist tickets, we
fail to see the justice in the roads ask
ing an increase on the local end of the
passenger business. Take the passen-
ger fare to New York City. for in
stance. 1t is about $40 from Chicago
for round trip and yet. for about
dollar additional, you can get ticket
good going by way of Halifax and COM
ing home thru Florida. and part OF the
trip can be made by water and includes
meals and berth on the boat Before
the railroads are allowed TO increase
passenger rates thev should be made to
remove their present gambling game
giving something for nothing at the
expense of the other fellow.
