Looker-On In Iona

Eldora, Dec. 81. The writer has
made an effort, without results to find
out where the newspaper report orig
mated concerning the lawsuit and de-
cis.on by which the Rainsbargers lost
the farm. AS a matter Of fact, the case
has not been tried and will not be until
the next term of court, and Judge
Wright naturally feels indignant that
such a case was tried anG decision
given by some newspaper man.

1t is a sign of the times when one
is told in Grinnell that the new dormi-
tory buildings Of the college are near
~ all in use. This would naturally be
expected with the college having the
largest enrolment in its history, but
the point raised, the luxury Of these
beefsteak and $4,000 automobiles. Some
of us can remember when we ate 5
cent a pound dressed chickens in Grim
nell, when we bought quail at so cents
a dozen and prairie chickens at 81 a
dozen. In those days room and board
for students was s2.T5 to $3.50 week.

furnace heated rooms were not thrown

world are graduates of Iowa College
who are prominent in many walks of
life. men and women, who did not get
their education. living in $400,00
dormitories. This is not saying but
what some OF these dormitory students
will be just as prominent in the years
to come, only to remark again things
have viz" including educational adj
vantages.
Not long ago in Grinnell the Odd
Fellows had home coming" A sue

Our neighboring cities Of Dubuque

At the foundation Of these defalca-
tons may always be found vanity or
weakness, and most often the two
combined. In Cedar Rapids the sem
sations were caused by an ambitious
young man 80 eager to speculate that
he did not hesitate to take bank cash
for that purpose. Good habits, reputa-
ton and the confidence OF his friends
were OF no strength in holding him
back. The other man had the ambi-

Up TO COMMUNITIES.
fSheldon SUM-

There is no question public senti-
ment has decreed that saloons must
go, but that there are many hangers
on to the last ditch. who will later en-
deavor to get their liquor in defiance
of all laws. is an undeniable fact. 1t is
true that the rigidness OF the new in
terstate shipping law will make blind
plugging difficult that most loathsome
and detestable of law violations. but
will It eIini;na:: the proposition?
That's the question.
1t is largely up to the law-abiding
citizens to see to 1t that such things
are not carried on in community. But
1t is remarkable how some people will
get around the law when they by rea-
son of previous practice have cause to
feel that their liberties are being af-
fected.

Algona Republican, Dec II, 1890
Mr.. Norman Collier. Of Ramsey. who is
in attendance as Juror at the dis
trict court, gives some interesting facts
regarding the rapid settlement Of Ram
sey and Hebron townships during the
past season. He says that three par.
ties have sold fifty-nve quarter sections
since harvest and that land dealers
from Bancroft and Algona have located
q good many more. Wild land was
selling for So an acre in that locality
last year. but now It has gone up to
315. and the prospect is that by the
close Of next season there will not be
an eighty left that can be had at that
figure. There ID considerable land

parties who refuse to sell at any price

WEAK ULTIMATUMs.


But the complications are only be-
ginning If we break off relations and
go to war with one beliigerent on ac-.
count OF failure to respect one Of our
rights under International law. how
are We to keep on neighborly terms
with another belligerent who has failed
to respect an equally precious right
covered by another statute OF interna- :
tional law? Just now we are protest =
ing to Berlin, Vienna, London and
Paris about invasions of our neutral
rights. II all these capitals hold out
against us. as they will. IL military
necessity Demands, we can not vc-J;;
we'll declare war upon Germany. Aus
tria, Great Britain and France. Men
ton Of such a possibility suggests only
plot for comic opera.
But there are other complications.
If we declare war against any or all
Of the European bel1igerents, we have
nothing to fight with. Our navy could
not operate in European waters with
out base, and we have no army. and
could not have one that would amount
to much within at least year. How,
then, are we to cut a respectable fig.
ure in the war?
Rut the whole story has not yet
been told. Even II we could bring our
| navy to bear effectively and had an
army, we have no munitions of war
The sum and substance is that we
| are not disposed to back up vigorous
diplomacy with vigorous display OF
force. and are not prepared to do 30.
even il 80 disposed. Possibly that il
| why our ultimatums do not seem to get
us anywhere. Possibly that liz why
folks look at our various diplomatic
controversies az a game in which the
! side wins that talks the loudest.

CLAIMING PRISONERS.


Do you, dear reader imagine that in
enlightened and progressive and hu-
name Iowa that prisoners in both the
state penitentiaries are chained 10
their cells and given a slab instead OF
a bed to sleep on? Well. the announce
ment is made from the state capital
that soon prisoners would be allowed
the freedom Of their cells unclaimed
and would be given beds to rest on at
nights. But while this Humanitarian
move is 20 be hailed with approval we
ara disposed to think that only the
worst of the inmates have been chained
or given q hard bed. When the writer
visited the penitentiayies few years
ago we saw but two men chained and
all the cells that we saw had hunks in
them. At dinner the meal looked good
enough for a harvest hand and we
were 50 hungry at the time that we
wished for an invitation to dine at the
pen.
