WATCH OUT" FOR sAlINcER.

column on this page protests against
the possibility that Ben Salinger may,
TO the misfortune of Iowa, succeed in
his ambition to sit on the supreme
bench OF the state. The News IS not
backward in coming forward with the
reasons for its opinion.
The News fears that the elevation OF
Salinger to that bench might do much
to destroy the commendable attitude
taken by that body regarding the moral
problems Of the state" II refers TO his
record as corporation lawyer and to
his attitude on the liquor question and
his career as a politician and urges that
every effor, should be made by good
citizens and thinking men" 10 prevent

No matter how active street clean

oughfares Of a town never look de-
cent unless some spirit OF neatness
exists in the minds OF citizens.
The tendency to litter up streets
with paper bags. hand bills. scraps OIL
newspapers, etc, seems TO grow worse
and worse. Many newly arrived aliena,
who keep potatoes in the bath tub AT
home. regard the street as the natural
receptacle for refuse. But the natives
can not Law off all this abuse on aliens
Our own boys and girls acquire every

ways.
They have lordly manners about
throwing waste around. They seem
to think that some street cleaner
should be in servile attendance every
minute to pick up their leavinss
When they get old enough to pa,
taxes they may realize what this would
cost.
Disorderly and Uttered streets give
the impression that a place has M
community spirit. and Is too poor fo'
street cleaning. This affects the minds
Of all who pass thru. and makes place
look unattractive to people who mish
settle here.

Into the darkness-one by one
The troop must go.
But whether to face a greater sun
And a rarer glow;
Or whether into the night we creep
Where shadows stay and the dark IS
deep
With never a dawn to END our sleep.
We may not know.
Into the darkness-under the sod
Where no light CLEANS:
And the rest is left TO the Great White

And many will look TO a pathway steep
That leads to heaveR-whe-e none may

And many will thank God for the sleep
