placed. The question was merely shall
the new, dam do what it is capable OF,
or shall it do only half Of what it can
be made to do? The people voted to
develop 1t to its fullest extent.
The company and the people recog
nized the fact that the present light
ing system Is out of date and that re-
CARELESS of which way the election
went, it meant Il new system with new
and modern lights and many more OF
them. The fact that the electric light
company lost the point 1t was contend
ing for, in yesterdays election, does
not mean that there is any prejudice
in this community against the com
pany. The citizens of this city apprec
late the service that is rendered by It's
public utility companies, and there is
no feeling against them and no ground
for any. The election yesterday was
simply good natured contest In
which both sides could not win. The
people simply voted to improve and
expand their own property.
The people have gained far more
than the company has lost and there
should be general satisfaction with
the result of the election.

have had a placard hung about her
neck stating who she was. All her
fault"
The majors deal for the auto went
through three days later, but he did
, not let the excitement Of it turn him
from the trail of the would-be abduct-
or. He made many moves, but he got
no clews Ten days later he and Miss
Marjorie were riding out. The major
had taken three lessons in running the
machine and felt that he knew all
about it. He had done very well for an
hour at slow pace-so well that he
decided to "hit 'er up" to about thirty.
The daughter protested, but the hitting
| took place, just the same. Half mile
had been covered when the machine
swerved out of the highway into an
unfenced meadow and began to cut up
all kinds Of circus tricks. It wiggled
and wobbled. 1t ran in circles. It shaw
ed the whiskers off stumps.
Young Harry Thurston heard Miss
Marjorie's screams, and the majors
| cuss-words and calls for help, from the
brook where he was fishing, and he
| was soon on the scene. He lodged
here and there and shouted instruc-
tons, but the major was repeating the
Lords prayer and his daughter con-
| tinuing her screams. The only way was
to take flying leap for the footboard
as the machine came along. It needed
courage and confidence, but the young
man landed right, and soon discovered
what was wrong and remeded It,
Miss Marjorie reached the ground to
faint away, and the major fell out to
gasp and swear and tell what he would
do to the seller Of the machine. 1t was
for Harry to act as chauffeur to get
them home, and when he had done so
and been invited in he mustered up the
courage to tell the story of the attemp-
ted abduction.
! The result he told his sister-in-laW.
and Miss Forest three hours later.
! "The major called me scoundrel,
he said.
| "Of course he would"
"And then said he owed me his life.
"And the daughter"
she said I must be an idiot to make,
such mistake and then added that,
| she was glad ! did"
! And and
! Ask my wife and me to visit YOU
| about year from now"

A MATTER OF POLICY.

The election is over. The people Of
Ottumwa have ruled that they want
the city to light it's own streets and
they have provided the funds where
with to make necessary improvements
in the municipal power plant with that
end in view.
In arriving at this decision, the
voters showed no animus or i'll feel
ing for the Railway & Light Co., and
there is no occasion for any bitter
ness towards the firm which has been
lighting the city streets for some years
past and which is anxious to keep on
dong so. The company's proposition
was no doubt as fair as any company's
would have been, but the people want
to do the work with their own plant.
The company simply did it's best to
hold contract and the people merely
ruled that they could do the work
cheaper themselves. There was no
bitterness.
AS the voters looked upon it, they
were faced with the problem Of i'm
proving property that was already
theirs, owned and controlled by the
city and capable of doing more work if
improved. The election was simply on
matter Of public economy and public
improvement. The city showed it's de-
sire to expand. The decision was in
line with the modern day idea of con-
servation of natural resources. 1t was
also one of economy for 1t was recog-
nized that the present dams are in
efficient and that they must be re-

The Iowa corn crop is greater in
value than the wheat crop of Canada
or the Argentine republic.
The annual corn crop of Iowa is
worth more than the annual yield OF
either iron ore, anthracite coal, pc
troleum products, or the products of
all the gold and silver or copper mines
Of the United States
Iowa has more bearing apple trees
than any two Pacific coast or noun
tain states.
Iowa's annual apple crop is worth
more than that Of any Of the Pacific
coast or mountain states. 1owa's ap'
pie crop is exceeded in value only by
the states of New York. Pennsyl-
vania, Michigan and Missouri.
The orchard products of Iowa are
greater in value than the orchard
products of any Pacific coast state,
excluding citrus fruits.
The berry crop of Iowa is greater
in value than that of any state west
|of the Mississippi river, except Mis-
souri, and California.
The swine Of Iowa are worth more
than all the farm crops of any OF
the eleven mountain and Pacific coast
states; except California.

Criminals generally turn ont to be
towards on the battlefield, according
to observations in the cases OF 225
men with Jail or prison sentences in
their record made during the campaign
of Italy in Tripoli by Dr. Consiglio,
chief of staff surgeon with the Italian
army and reported in German medl-
cal paper Dr. Consiglio says:
"The abnormal man Is unfit for
methodtcally disciplined effort in times
of peace. In war, where the demands
of discipline and the strain of syste-
matte preparations increase he displays
invariably sooner or later a reaction
against his surroundings, which mani
tests itself chiefly in morbid lack OF
discipline, disobedience, insubordlna-
ton or even desertion. The moral
strain and the violent manifestations
of war induce in such men physical
disturbances, excitative crisis, hysteric
and epileptic attacks and acute in
sanity. They lack the possibility of
methodic action, the iron will to re-
spond to the multiple demands Of the
instant and to the continued physical
and intellectual strain.
"While the habitual criminal, al
though impulsive and aggressive to-
ward superiors and comrades. gen,
orally is cowardly in battle. there are
among the occasional criminals. those
who have gone wrong through drink
or love of adventure, many who dis
tinguish themselves in warfare. But
even these relapsed regularly into
breaches Of discipline and were use
less for ordered effort.
"The soldier adapted to modern war
fare, capable of continued effort, able
to retain his cool presence of mind IN
battle, is a man who has shown him
self in time of peace to be an able,
well-disciplined citizen. The time
seems to be past when the blind cour-
age of the adventurer, unconscious of
danger, constitutes an especially valu-
able element in deciding the fate OF
nations"

ANOTHER Ex-cAAMPloN SPEAKS.


The most absurd proposition that
has come to light in the politics OF
Iowa in the beginning of this new year
Is the proposal to make Des Moines
and the tax question political issue.
Des Moines Is the capital city Of our
state and there Is something radically
wrong with the man who does not
recognize and take pride in this
proprietorship.-Council Bluffs Non
pareil.
Thus is another ex-champion Of the
peepul heard from.
The Nonpareil is another one of
those papers that has recently changed
it's attitude again. Two years ago 1t
was claiming to be in favor of every
measure that would get the govern
ment closer to the people and giving
the people voice in their own gov
eminent! and let the people rule!
Hip! Hip! Hooray. Now when its at
tention is called to the fact that the
constitution of Iowa, fifty-seven years
ago guaranteed to the people the right
to have voice in the government, 1t
executes big somersault and takes a
position that the people have no rights
at all that the legislature and the
executive council need respect. The
difference between the makers of our
constitution and many Of our present
day editors and politicians. is that the
trainers of the constitution were work
ing for the interests Of the people in
stead of talking for themselves.
