quail always continues TO increase.
There 10 no use passing a closed law
on quail, for no protection will bring
them thru the severe winters. A rea-
sonable open season-from the matur-
ity of the young until snow fies-is the
most logical open season. Each few
years the quail will be nearly wiped
out by the severe winters, and to our
mind a quail looks much better on a
platter than in a frozen heap in a
fence corner
The Hungarian pheasants are MAX
ing good In Iowa. They stand the rough
winters well. they thrive on the ground
that Iowa affords. and they make ex-
cellent sport with dog and gun. The
ringneck Is also game bird. but the
complaint is made that the cocks are
too prone to inhabit the barn yards
and fight the tame fowls.
But just remember. sport with dog
and gun In Iowa is not thing of the
past. The entire gun license fund of
the state should be devoted to giving
Iowa more game and better game.
Let the fishermen pay for their own
sport.

"Carbajal may offer resistance TO the

Mexico is at an end. and that peace Is
near at hand" said Major Goltz, at the
Shoreham "Carbajal will retire. and
General Angeles VINO is Villas choice
for the provisional presidency, will be
named. Villa himself, who Is the most
! remarkable military genius l have
known and a man of wonderful natural
intelligence. has no political aspira-
tons. He would not take the presi-
dency If offered him, and he does not
desire TO become the head OF the army.
He wants merely to see peace restored,
and then he will retire to private life
and enjoy himself villa is true
friend Of tho United States. and gives
full credit to this government for the
part it has played in settling the
troubles of Mexico. He likes Ameri-
cans individually, even If he has some
criticism for some of the actions OF

between Carranza and Villa but there

| a vast difference between disagree
ment and a breach. The campaign OF

person or set Of persons, not for the
elevation of any man or set of men

strange he should wear a portrait OF
Napoleon in his scarf at this time:
why not?" said Major Goltz. Il adj

LET'S COLLECT AUTO TAX At HOME.

| Newman Erb, railroad president. hav
| ing noticed that Iowa had licensed
more than 100000 automobile re-
marked to Chicago newspaper writer
recently that the farmers of Iowa are
| paying more for the maintenance, OPP
Grafton and depreciation Of their motor
cars than they are contributing to the
railways for both passenger fares and
freight charges. We know that we
have licensed one automobile for every
mile of highway in the state and almost
one for every two farms but it has re-
manned for the railroad man to tell US
that auto transportation is now costing
us more than rail transportation.
However. be that as it may, the story
has not all been told. For every
thousand autos licensed there are a
great many not licensed That condi-
ton Is coming up in every community.
How many no one knows. but there are
a great many. Every town in Iowa is
graphing with the problem Of the I'M
licensed car; the tax dod ger.
1t is the duty of every court before
whom an auto owner Is convicted to
enter judgment for the amount of the
license in addition to the fines and
costs imposed but few courts are do
ing it.
The trouble is all in long distance
tax collection. A state which would
seek to make every citizen pay his
property tax at Des lMones would have
the same difficulty collecting 1t all.
The county treasurer or auditor is the
proper agency thru which to collect an
auto tax as well as any other tax If
auto license numbers were kept on de-
| post at the county court house and
| licenses were paid there the usual ex-
cuse for not having a number on a car
would have been removed Drivers
| could then be required the first day TO
! have their own numbers and not any
dealers number on their cars, with a
| heavy penalty for evasion.
There would be no trouble in provid-
| ing for Is per cent of the auto tax
being sent to the state highway COM
| mission or all of it, for that matter. if
| it were to be used as state aid fund
| The convenience of local collection
would add at least per cent more
| taxes collected and it would reduce at
least another per cent of the whole
tax in the cost of administration a,

MOORE AND MURPHY,
TApamosa E,,raLa1

Louis Murphy. collector of internal
revenue. has retired as editor of the
Telegraph Herald No explanation is
made or this retirement. Mr. Murphy
should have taken hint from Mr.
Moore. the United States marshal. who
found 1t easy to transfer his newspaper
to his Wife. Mr.. Moore draws S33333
per month as marshal works on his
Wifes newspaper and looks after his
insurance business. Yes. gentle reader,
without inquiry rest assured that this
is the same Moore who declared that a
county auditor who drew 1888 a
month and edited a newspaper was a
CRATER" with two jobs. 1t is the
same Moore whose well known conceit
and bigotry are relied upon to carry
him thru any example of denagogue
or deceit. 1T is to laugh"

The Mexican Situation.

There will be no more serious fight
ing in Mexico: Carbajal's defense OF
Mexico city against the greater forces
OF the constitutionalists. II undertaken
by the provisional president, will be
half hearted and ineffective, and Gen.
Angeles, Villas choice for the provis
ional presidency, will be in power with
in short time.
This prophecy was made by Major
Horst Won der Goltz, chief of staff of
Gen Raoul Madero. brother of the
slain president and intimate friend OF
Pancho villa, who reached Washington
yesterday direct from Chihuahua.

old, Is combination Of extraordinary

A COLOSSAL CURSE.

Perhaps the most colossal curse that
confronts many young man is the
combination of the street and rum.
Every town has its quota Of young
men whose motto is never work and
never will" They sit around on dry
goods boxes or steps. spit tobacco joice
at cracks in the sidewalk, pass filthy
remarks about passing girls. make fun
of those who work and bowl up on
whisky semi occasionally.
Such boys and young men are trav-
cling the direct route to the devil, and
no one is more responsible for their
ultimate collapse than they.

COLLEGE STUDENTS.
rClinton Herald.l

Limiting college entrance to those
who earn their way would have one
good effect, however. 1t would elimi-
nate from college the nalf- baked dude
who is down there to spend his fathers
specimen is present in considerable
numbers in all western institutions.
and he fairly overruns the aristocratic
universities of the east. He would not
spend one day in college If he had to
work, and the college would be far bet
ter off without him. The idler and the
social butterfly should be eliminated,
male and female. There is no reason
why the people. thru state appropria-
tions or interest on endowment funds,
should spend 5000 or $500 year ed
ucating individuals who do not know
why they are in college.
The Heralds advice to young people
who plan to go to college would be:
Consider any help from your parents
q loan to be paid back in later years,
just as You would repay a loan from a
friend or from a bank; consider the
help you receive from the stated the
annual budget divided by the number
Of students, less tuition) loan from
the community, to be repaid in good
citizenship and intelligent leadership:
make the getting of an education your
aim In college; if you want an educa-
ton and have no resources, earn your
way as thousands of others are doing,
but make the earning as incidental as
possible to the work of the college.

Litigation in France.

Litigation in France.
The way they try cases In France
Is very amusing to me:
No one objects when the prisoner rants
A lawyer arises and reads a romance;
And the Judges can never agree
On just what trial should be.
If the defendants woman the judges
make haste
To extend her their sympathy; .
To examine 4 woman IS really bad
taste;
At the least innuendo why, honor's dis
graced.
And a duel at sunrise must be;
cor this the judges agreed
II spectator falls in a trance,
The jury must scramble to see
The lItigants summon their uncles ana
To declaim upon everything doing in
France,
Except what the truth may be:
Which Is lost in the general melee.
