COMMISSION MAD

lcH
In support of his candidacy for gov
ernor. Mr.. Hamilton quotes one OF his
fellow citizens:
Il think we have had too much leg
islation from a lawyers standpoint and
il is high time that business prin-
ciples be applied in state affairs.
Legislators seem to have gone com
mission mad" taxes have scared sky
ward while the population of the state
as natural consequence has fallen off
the only state in the union showing
such decline"
MIR Hamilton, in adopting the above,
again reveals his adeptness in utiliz-
ing half truth. Why NOT present the
whole truth? our neighboring state OF
Illinois has gone Commission mad"
il any state has, excelling Iowa in this
respect. but has not lost population.
SO have Wisconsin and other states
multiplied special commissions Do
rot cause and effect work to similar
results in ali stateso
But is it true that state commits
sions are the chief cause of increased
taxation. or that they are objection
able because they cost something? II
So does Mr.. Hamilton favor the abol-
ishment OF the various commissions
and boards-as the board Of control,
commissioner OF labor statistics:
fish. pharmacy, factory inspection,
soldiers monuments. library. high
wa. railroad. industrial. dairy anc
food, animal health, etc, etc.
1t is TO be remembered these various
commissions and special boards
were created by the general assembly
in obedience to a popular demand:
similar commissions are in vogue in
nearly all the states and are every
where recognized as an essential
feature of state government They
are doing valuable work; The Hawk
eye believes that as to the great ma
jority OF them, at least. it would be a
detrimeni to the public welfare to dis
pense with their services. If Mr.. Ham
I ilton does not think 80: if he believes
that they ought to be done away with,
why does he not come out in the open
and say so2 Or if he believes only
part of the number ought to be abol-
:shed. why not be frank and specify
which ones should be booked for the
headsE,ans axe?
Mr.. Hamilton owes it TO the voters
to be informative. Let the people
have the facts: the reasons that APP
peal to his judgment for the abolition.
or dl!ninishment of the number OF
commissions in Iowa's state govern
ment. And when he has made up his
1 list. let him be honest enough to pre-
Jude his group of instances by state
nent that altho the various bills Great
! ing the commissions had the support OF
democratic members of the legislature,
! yet, ne, the democratic candidate. who
never before publicly opposed the sew
! eral commissions, now concludes the
/ party ought to reverse its previous at
/ titude and pledge itself to repeal the
laws creating the commissions named
/ in his brief. That would be frank and
| broad minded presentation of his case.
| Will Mr. Hamilton measure up to
/ this obvious duty?

Nhamhiquaras the women were more
completely naked than the men. al
though the difference was not essential
The men wore Q string around the
waist. Most Of them wore nothjsg
else but few had loosely hanging
from this string in front q scanty tuft
of dried grass, or a small piece of
cloth, which, however, was of purely
symbolic use so far as either protection
or modesty was concerned. The women
did not wear stitch of any kind any
where on their bodies. They did not
have on so much as string. or bead.
or even an ornament in their hair
They were all, men and women, boys
and well-grown young girls, as en-.
tirely at ease and unconscious az SO

men, women, and children, laughing
and talking-crowded around us
whether we were on horseback or on
foot. They flocked into the house, and
when / sat down to write surrounded
me so closely that had to push them
gently away. The women and girls
often stood holding one anothers
hands, or with their arms over one an
others shoulders or around one an
others waists, offering an attractive
picture. The men had holes pierced
thru the septum OF the nose and thru
the upper lip. and wore a straw thru
each hole. The women were not
marked or mutilated. It seems like
contradiction in terms. but it is never
theless a fact that the behavior of
these completely naked women and
men was entirely modest.-Theodore
Roosevelt, in the September Scribner.

the BIGGEST REASON OF ALL.

We are not ready for any such pro-
position as outlined in the ShankIand
BILL" declares the Pringhar Bell. 1T
provides for vote of the people every
Two years at a special election, ma
joriry TO say whether there should be
saloons or not. The serious objections
To this are the expense of a special
election, the agitation at such sho-.
intervals and the fact that where tried
in other states saloon votes were col
onized in the counties and no fair cleo
ton held
The Bell may go farther ard add that
this state is getting very nearly to the
point when 1t win entirely dispense with
saloons This conclusion is not Of
party or denomination or class, but the
logical conclusion OF the vast majority
Of the people Of the state It is plain
common sense to the top. Just how it
will be done as regards the legal side
of it is not worth serious consideration
The serious part of the question is the
saloon and its utterly vicious influence
which none attempts to deny except
those who make immediate profit by 1t.
The process that is going on is elimin-
ating the saloon very rapidly.
And it is perhaps. the best possible
process. The mulct law, bastard as it
is, has accomplished what prohibitory
amendments failed to DO. 1t has per-
mitted a long campaign of education
which has come to bearing and it is be-
ing harvested We shall soon be ready
for a prohihitory amendment and shall
not vitality need it. The muict petition
which was the bulwark of the saloor
aforetime has become its foe. 1t ha.

most prosperous, hold the best busi-
ness, have the cleanest governments
are the best towns to live in. The as
sertion of the anti -saloonists have been
made good in practice because these
assertions were true. And from end to
end Of the state the sentiment against
the saloon is crystalizing to the point
OF elimination of the business as
handicap on business and morals ana
general advancement. 1t Is worth while
to consider that this has been brought
enactment Of laws calculated 10 re-
strict rather than entirely suppress.
The demand for complete suppression
is due and is coming from the voters
themselves. II is by way of referen
dunn which has lasted over twenty I'VE
years and has now arrived very closely
TO its elimination. In short the saloon
has been educated out of Iowa.
The Shankland bill and other bills of
similar character are the last bitches
OF the saloon interests they and hope
full prospects in the supreme court
OF the state. They do not hope to win
standing bu, 1hey DO hope to put OF
the evil day. Their hope is in certain
bills and certain candidates more than
any other possibility. And such bills
and such candidates. should be rebuked
By the voters and the public should
see that they are given no considera-
tion by its legislatures. The liquor
fight against woman suffrage and in
favor OF such bills as the Shankland
bin are all in the direct interest Of the
saloons
Go farther: the Shankland bin is

feated. Colonization of voters. expend-
iture OF large sums in elections. the
short interval provided in order that
the dry regime may not have a fair
chance 10 make good, all these are
merely the common expedien of the
saloon interest everywhere. Such bills
are simple attempts TO bolster up the
saloon for a little longer time. Con-

HOW ABOUT YOUR TOWN,

Iowa towns are beginning TO pay
large attention 10 play grounds. We are
coming to the conclusion that the play
ground is as great a preventive neces
SHY against disease as the hospital is
afterward that the playground is a
surer preventive of mischief and bad
morals than the jail. Some progressive
Iowa towns have provided free golf
links. some have made various play
grounds for young and old. It's a good
thing and should De done in every town
n the state.
Years ago Alden had little play
ground with tennis court handy 10

The slogan the more Fairgrounds

Nothing does more for the general
health, physical and moral than a

cease to play they degenerate phys
ically and usually morally If no, ment-
