SMALLPOX NOT SO BAD
IN HERTNGTON-CONKLIN

The Epidemic Of smallpox report
ed to be raging in Harrington is not
of unusual proportions, DR.. II. r.
Conklin, county health officer, who
was called to HeringtOn by the re-
ports, said today. Five cases are
now under quarantine. DR.. COnklsn
is inclined to doubt the reports of
the large number of cases which
existed at Harrington a week or so
ago, and which were said to have
been kept quiet because Of the
Christian Endeavor meeting which
was being held there.

BUILD WHILE BUILDING IS CHEAP.

announcement Dy the presidents OF
many railroad companies that they
will build. extend and re-equip their
lines to an unusual extent this summer
should suggest to everybody that this
Is good time to build. Money is
cheap again after a long period Of
tightness. This is what has loosened
up the railroads and it could be of as
sistance to others. Material is low.
The market is down on cement, lumber,
iron and hardware. Labor is cheaper
than it has been except where the
monopoly of labor unions keeps up the
price and even then organized labor is
so plentiful just now that it Is in
clined to be unusually reasonable in its
demands and more than ordinarily
efficient. There never has been a time
in recent years when building could be
done to any better advantage and if,
as is predicted on all sides, we are en-
tering upon a period of better times
there will not be a year in the near
future when building can be done as
cheaply as it can be this year.
Population keeps on increasing
during hard times as we'll as during
good times. In the United States it
has always doubled every thirty years.
That means that every building of
every kind and description that we
now have between the two oceans will
not only have to be repaired, renewed
and replaced during the next thirty
years but that an additional one will
have to be built for every one we now
have. Everything man has built in
this country will have to be doubled
thirty years from now.
That means a demand for buildings.
We can't exactly look ahead and see
where the demand is coming from
but it is coming just the same. 1t
should come to Iowa and the middle
west faster even than to the country
in general because this is the granary
of the world; the lunch station for adj
vancing populations of every age.
Build while building is cheap. If you
do not think it is cheap you can rest
assured that it is cheaper than it will
be again for many years to come.

PUT UP OR QUIT.

The question Of an indemnity bond
for jitney buses was up and argued
at Des Moines yesterday where the jit-
ney flourishes best Of Iowa cities. Jit-
ney owners represented by counsel
plead that an indemnity bond would
put them out of business and their at
torney took the ground that persons
using jitney buses accept the risk.
Perhaps the attorney was right that
those who patron;ze the iitney take the
personal risk to themselves. In the
mind of the average member of the
public that uses the streets the passen-
ger and his safety has not been upper
most Willing enough to permit the
passenger of the iitney TO take his
chances the public has in mind an in
demnity bond which shall enable the
pedestrian and occupants of other We
hicles to obtain satisfactory recourse
for damages sustained thru careless
ness and negligence on the part Of the
jitneys.
If to assure the public that it shall
be able to turn to a responsible COM
pany or owner for damages, to put the
jitney in a position Of responsibility
for personal injuries and the like is to
put the jitney out Of business the
sooner it goes the better. The matter
of the indemnity bond or some manner
Of fixing financial responsibility is
vital. Otherwise the bid is for ire
sponsible owners, cheap and thus dan
gerous drivers and transfer Of own
ership Of the streets to the irresponsi-
BILE. When transportation becomes a
public utility it invariably needs reg
ulating. It is idle TO argue that the
responsible traction companies wear
out by delay and court procedure those
who sue them. That course as yet is
open to all responsible companies
which desires to spend money in de-
tense and as open to the titney COM
pany as any other. It is al, simple
question Of whether it can pay II /,
kills or mains. And the indemnity
bond seems to settle that in the most
direct ard satisfactory fashion.
| With no unfriendlincss to the jitney
and in the belief, often expressed in its
columns that the gasolene engine is q
coming traction power for urban trans
portation it is still not only wise bu,
to operate line Of power vehicles thru
the streets to the immediate danger OF
those who have rights there should as

case Of accident caused by negligence

WILD FLOWERS.

[Cedar Rapids Republican,
Why is 1t that the average persons
wants to pick wild flower the mo-
ment he sees it? 1t Is the universal
human instinct. It appears in the
tiniest child. Man Is ruthless and de-
structive to begin with. 1t may be that
when we see the violets in bloom we
want to take up and carry them to
some one who can not come to see
them where they grow in their damp
and half darkened places. The instinct
to pull up and pick off may, after all,
be the somewhat tender and holy In
stfnct to carry their happiness to 9TH
ers. It must be that. 1t at least IS
more kindly to think that it is that.
But the real lover Of wild flowers
must see them and love them where
they grow. He must see the wild flow
ers nodding on their stems, the blood
roots gazing open eyed up to the SKY
and the violets, clusters Of the pref
test blue, half hidden and half re-
vealed among the green leaves. On,
how pretty they all are when you see
them in that way. There is nothing
like it that man has made, nothing like
these simple and familiar blossoms OF
the woods in spring. And you must
hear the birds singing at the same
time. Wild flowers are nothing to one
unless he hears over them warnings OF
the infinite choir Of spring, all the birds
and where the violets grow the birds
are SO many and so varied are their
songs that one must confess he does
not know the tenth Of those who make
music under the spring skies. Birds
and flowers and blue skies and green
grass-well. they constitute what our
friend Pollyanna would mean by "just
to live"

Recently at Q dinner given by the

the speakers emphasized the necessity
of creating feeling that will lead Du-
buquers to patronize home industries
1t was pointed out, as an example
that the people Of Dubuque annually
consume $4,000 worth Of crackers
manufactured outside Of Dubuque,
This means that $4,000 goes out OF
Dubuque each year for crackers alone.
If this money was spent ut home the
local cracker industry would be forced
to increase It's output. A great many
more employees would be needed and
all lines Of business would benefit.
Buying home products is not a SEN

it. The city that doesn't loses out.

City are to vote upon an interesting
proposition in the near future. The
plan is that a joint high school be
established and erected for the use of
both communities. The idea IL an ex-

opposition. There never was a good
idea, a valuable suggestion presented
anywhere In the world that did not
arouse opposition But nevertheless 1t
is splendid project And 1t ought to
succeed. And it will form the first OF
the ties that will bind the two towns.
And eventually they will both grow in
the direction of that high school and
ultimately they will combine for other
purposes. There will be more ties that
will bind the two towns until finally
the consolidation takes place, the
boundaries are wiped out, and out OF
two good smaller towns there shall be
made an excellent larger town.
