be opposed by the same interests. That
settles 1t with us. We are for Myers
from early dawn to latest dusk.
The time has arrived when the good
people of Iowa should resent these Sc
cret political alliances with the out
lawed liquor traffic. Not one republic
can in five is now In sympathy with
such policy. Mr.. Harding owes it to
the great majority Of his party to keep
clear OF such alliances. He persistently
disregards this obligation. There is
but one way to meet such a situation
and that is to openly fight all candi-
dates who participate in the schemes
of the liquor gang. Harding should be
defeated If possible.
Aside from this issue Mr.. Myers is a
worthy candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor. He is big enough to fill any Of
fee in the gift of the state. He is
courageous. manly, clean. No citizen
of this state will ever be ashamed of a
vote for Myers.

the annual coming Of the city Rubes.
Treat them gently, handle them with
care, for tho they may not be marked
fragile" they are as babes in the

Give freely of your store of knowl-
edge that they may return to the abode
of innocents with wisdom to spare. for
as we give in this life SO shall We re-
ceive in the one to come.
Instruct them carefully in the fine
arts Of the milking of the COW, the
feeding Of the fowls and the pitching
Of the new mown hay, and smile not
when they ask you to remove the
thick yellow scum from their milk.
Assure them than when the cock
crows at daybreak 1t is not an alarm
of fire. nor yet an earthquake. and
neither is it a signal for light outs in
the bar room.
Awake them at noon for their morn

Of the goat. and Of all the snares that
heset the unwary in the field Of adj
venture.
Grave is your responsibility. Give it

"One of the members of the party, in

between North and South America

the north and south during the civil

QUIT HAND TO MOUTH POLICY.

In Iowa we have been pursuing mana
to mouth policy in the business OF road
and bridge building. We have insisted
on putting in wood and lightly con-
structed iron or steel bridges where we
should have used concrete and stone.
Two thirds of the bridge tax which is
now being levied in many of the coun-
ties in Iowa would, if used in an intelli-
gent manner, in thirty years pay Tor
cement bridges and culverts in place of
wood and this bridge tax could then be
almost wholly discontinued. Under the
policy that has heretofore been prac-
ticed, we shall be paying an even heav-
Ter bridge tax thirty years hence than
we are paying now. This is equally
true Of hard surfaced roads.

STOLE GAS METER.
Thief Endangered Lives of Sieepsrs In
 Maheu Building.

Report was made to the police Mon- day that the Maheu restaurant in Pon1fret street had been broken into during the night and a coin-operating gas meter stolen. This piece of work, as it was done, had possibilities of fla tai results for persons sleeping in the building, for when the meter was taken away a stream of gas was left flowing from a three-quarter inch pipe. The reason for assuming there was only one-awakened the sieepers, however, and the strong smell of gas led to an investigation that determined the cause cause of the leak.
 A wrench missing from garage that was broken into was probably used in taking off the meter. which the thief carried away with him that he might have opportunity to remove at his leisure the quarters that were tn it. 'at
 The young man who did the work is most certainly familiar with the prem . ises. He was also aware that there was money in the meter, but pFebabiy did not know that 1t contained accord. ing to the police something less than s2 He gained entrance to the res- taurant through window at the rear and had ample time to work without beinr detected. The meter is the property of the Putnam Light and Power company.
