20. CONE OUT OF IL"

Will anybody show single act of an
Iowa legislature in fifteen years that
has tended to bring anybody to Iowa !?
On the other hand, crank legislation
has driven out thousands Of people and
millions of capital. Is il not about time
to uahorse the long haired men in
Iowa?-Iowa City Republican.
More harm to Iowa has been done as
regards population figures by precisely
such political bosh as the above than
ever came about thru any legislative
knocking that has been going on for
several years without any foundation
except the desire to discredit Iowa leg
islatures and Iowa laws to the advan-
tage Of politicians who have found
themselves endorsed has had its effect
Of course, where the motive has not

not evident.
Persons and capital have not moved
out Of Iowa because Of the five mile
limit law or other salutary liquor leg
islation. II SO, it has been of a char
acter to be we'll spared. There has
been no moving on account Of primary
laws, of anti pass laws or on account
of any progressive legislation passed
here in Iowa. Other states are pattern
ing their laws after those Of Iowa. To
be sure some capital and a number of
persons moved out of Iowa immediate
ly upon the passage of the Cosson red
light laws but we haven't heard that
Iowa has been the worse for that
exodus. The federal government has
adopted that law in control of the fed
eral district and the capital city. Let
US note that these charges Of crank
legislation and the like invariably fail
to specify. 1t is pure political bun

very low order Of political press work
Iowa was never in as good shape in

THE CROOKED ROAD.
rSioux City Tribune.1

Keep away from bad company" was
the message Whitley Lewis sent to
the boys Of New FORKS east side
"A fellow who honestly earns 20 q
week il better OF than he who gets
$1,000 q week. II he does not get It
straight" said Lefty Louie"
Their conclusions are not original.
similar warnings have been given the
world in all ages and many Of them
have become proverbtal.
The way Of the transgressof IL hard.
Honesty il the best policy.
Be sure your sin will find you out.
The wages Of sin Il death.
Anyone of these admonitions needed
by the dead men would have precluded
their awful fate. Too late they realized
1t and In turn sounded their warnings.
Coming from the brink OF the grave.
from men who have travelled the fast
pace, who know what there is in both
the straight and the crooked ways.
their testimony IL Of the greatest value.
It upholds the moral axioms Of all the
ages. 1t does something besides. 1t
shows that from the most selfish stand
point it doesn't pay to follow the
crooked road
Whether there be any hereafter or
not. right here in this life Is no ad-
vantage in being anything but honest
and upright. If these men had their
lives to live over again they would
chocee the better way. They all say
so and they say that bad company was
the cause OF their downfall.
The warning is to young people to
shun bad company: to parents tc
choose carefully the companions OF
their children. and to all people in all
walks OF life:
1t doesn', pay to follow the crooked
road.

Many families who went to Canada

idea Of making money on cheap land
of that country, are returning to Iowa
very much dfsgusted with their ex-
perience and somewhat poorer thereby.

lard agents have a beautiful line OF

try one is convinced Of Its great pos

Then again II Is said that 1t Ia hard
