MIR. HARDING's TROUBLES
rDes Motnes Tribune.

If Lieutenant Governor Harding has
ever had il in mind TO be a candidate
for governor he will feel like taking
Senator Savage and some others out
behind the shed and applying boot
jack.
For never was situation developed
more inopportunely and more disas-
trously than by the unprecedented res
olution to give Mr.. Harding free hand
in naming the senate committees.
II the friends of the lieutenant gov
ernor could have awaited action on the
part Of those who want the temperance
committees of the senate made UP OF
temperance men, he would have had
the advantage of position. For in Iowa
1t has been customary to allow the
lieutenant governor to name the COM
mittees.
But now the lieutenant governor Is
pu. in the position OF driving the tenn
perance forces to align themselves, and
no matter what he may do he can not
get away from the record.
The lieutenant governor was elected
under unhappy auspices. and the en-
tanglement will bother him all the way
thru. These are not the days when II
pays to have the open and urgent In
dorsement of the liquor men.

BREAKING INTO OTHERS LINES.

BREAKING INTO OTHERS LINES.
webster City -Tribune.l
The establishments in towns the size
of Webster City which specialize upon
any one line of goods, are few and
hard to And. This is not the fault al
ways Of the firm which in the begin
ming attempted to carry certain line
OF goods and handle that alone; some
have been compelled to add other lines
in self defense. 1t Is no difference
who began 1t, but one thing Is sure.
many merchants stand in the way OF
their own prosperity while attempting
to hinder the prosperity OF rival.
Take for example the hardware bust
ness. At first thought they might be
imagined to be specialists in that line.
Not so. Nearly every dry goods Arm
handles a line Of cutlery. scissors. etc.
Every grocery store with a few posi-
BILE exceptions, handles line OF porce-
lain or aluminium ware which they give
as premiums to their customers, or In
exchange for coupons. This cuts into
the hardware business In manner
calculated to at least hamper legiti-
mate profits. There are few dry goods
firms which have not added stock OF
millinery, dishes. rugs or notions. IN
self defense the milliners nave to add q
line Of gloves, or underwear: the fur
niture dealers a line Of canned arti-
cles or whatnot. And SO Il goes al!

THE VITAL QUESTION.
TCarroll Herald

What's this we hear about the
amount Of money Billy Sunday got out
OF Des Moines9 It is claimed that for
the convention Of 10000 souls he got
$4,000 in free will offerings. What OF
that? Cheap enough for the service
rendered. But the point IL, nobody who
contributed cent is kicking or criti-
cizing. And what right have persons
here or there to criticize when they did
| not contribute single cent? Next time
\ you hear anybody kicking about the
amount OF what Sunday gets ask him
how much he contributed.

PETITION VS.. BALLOT.


Why the friends of prohibition
should fear to permit the liquor ques-
ton to be settled as other questions
are, by ballot, does not appear. The
Pilot Tribune believes that the
voters of Iowa, who are at the present
time the men OF Iowa, are given the
opportunity. they will vote the saloon
out of the state. No one questions
that the women of the state would do
So AS a matter of fact. the liquor
traffic is doomed. It's doom is sealed
nationally and the next time the mat
ter is brought to vote In the house
of Representatives il will carry. beyond
question. The present method under
the mulct law permits OF every sort OF
unholy practice in the name of temper
ance, and this newspaper does not De-
lieve that the cause OF temperance can
be advanced thru the boycott or other
form of threat or intimidation. The
matter is not an issue in this county.
as the sentiment in Buena Vista is
strongly against the saloon.

GROWING SAFER AND SANER.

Little Johnny, with at least twice
as many days as usual to celebrate
the Fourth this year, is going about
the matter with about twice his usual
solemnity and more than twice his
usual silence Little Johnny hasn':
the fireworks this year that he used
TO have: his daddy ami the municipal
authorities of the country have con-
spired TO remove far from Johnny
the high explosive shells that once
were sold under the pseudonym Of
firecrackers. the dum-dum bullets that
masqueraded as "caps" and tha
sharpnel that was known as pop

walk.
When the roll is called up yonde.

the boom in business that he looked
forward to in other days. and the
United States will be a healthier and
happier nation following the Fourth
this year, even if it is not quite SD
gloriously exhilarated while the Gel
ebration is in progress.
Humanitarians have, at various
times. been given the credit-if there
be any, and little Johnny very likely
will declare that none is due-for tie

some credit, at least, is due also TO
the growing sentiment for efficiency

THEFT OF SHOES
Police Say Alvin Carlson, Bryan
kerashan and John Sand Con-
fess to Thursday Night
Robbery.
SOME GOODS RECOVERED
Four pair Shoes Buried In kerashan's
Yard Samples From Huis-
kamp Bros Ware
house.

After doing considerable detective
work since Friday morning, the po-
lice were able yesterday to arrest
three young men and claim con-
fession from them for stealing TWEEN
ty-nine pairs of sample shoes from
the third floor Of the Huiskamp
Bros Co. warehouse. at 216-21S Main
street, on Thursday night.
The loss was reported to the DO
lice Friday morning, following the
discovery OF the robbery and after a
careful Investigation, 1t was found
that twenty-nine pairs Of sample
shoes were missing.
The three young men being held
by the police for being implicated in
the robbery are Alvin Carlson of 1917
Franklin street; Bryan Keraghan of
$40 North, Thirteenth street and John
Sand of 903 North Thirteenth street,
all between the ages of sixteen and
eighteen years.
With the arrest yesterday Of the
three, the police were able to find
out how entrance was made to the
building. The police state that Carl
son at one time worked at the shoe
factory and had key to the ware
house which he kept when he quit
about a year ago. 1t is said that he
claimed lie lost the key when he left
the employ of the shoe factory.
The police state that Carlson ad-
mitted that it was with this key that
he gained entrance to the warehouse
with his two companions on Thurs.
day night. Four pairs of shoes were
found in wood shed at the Carlson
place and later four more pairs were
dug up by Keraghan in his back
yard where he had buried them fol-
lowing the robbery. Sand gave up
two more pairs, making total Of ten
pairs Of the twenty-nine found. The
police are on the track of the other
nineteen and hope to recover all in a
short time.
The young men admitted the rob-
berry the police say and all are In
jail. Just what proceedings will be
instituted against them is not known.
Larceny or breaking and entering
ARE two possible charges.
