party. It was not 30. The vote for
Roosevelt was country's tribute to .

JUDGE Lees GOOD ,os.

Judge Lee did a good thing when he
had bunch Of petty gamblers pulled
aboard a train in Iowa the other day.
The crowd was playing ruhm for
money. "Ruhm"-or however taste in
spelling INDUCES itself-is q card game
and has none but an incidental rela-
uonship to the demon rum"
The Judge objected. The gang smiled
and proceeded to draw from the top of
the deck. Then the Judge wired ahead
and delegation met the jovial game
! sters at convenient station, took
them in charge under the direction Of
the judicial authority and the Judge
says he will see that proper penalties
are INFLICTED. He also suggests that
gambling In car puts the conveyance
into the same category as a gambling
/, house. II this latter statement Is good
law as it is common sense gambling on
trains will follow that other and fra
ternal custom Of serving saloon drinks
on dining cars.
The judge is right. More power to
him and more sand to other travellers
who object to cursing, boisterous
gambling IN coaches where having
paid fare they have right to demand
the standards that prevail in other
public places. There is not the slight
est excuse 10 be offered why smok-
ing car should be filthy, morally or
physically. It is certainly up to the
train crew as it is to the hotel manager
to keep decent place for passengers as
Tor guests. II it is put legally up to
the railroads it will be done. There
are no serious difficulties in the way.
Trainmen are already empowered SUI
hciently under the law to enforce de-
cency aboard their trains. And il they

Quaker community in Henry county.
Many were the fugitive slaves who. IN

Quaker homes at Salem and then sent
in safety on their long journey to the

a single slave who reached Salem was

In a book on The ouakers OF iowa

this character which nearly resulted in
bloodshed. Several slaves belonging TO

Of Salem were startled by the approach
Of q large body OF :Missourisns. armed
to the teeth and bent on recovering
the lost slaves. They blocked up tho
streets and alleys and searched num-
Der OF houses to no avail. Before any
