HO! HUM! WHY DO WE YAWN?
Why is a yawn catching? When
ever ! see any one yawning want to
yawn, too. Why is this so?-Mrs.
Archibald J.
Most of us have the same trouble
you have - we yawn when we see
some one else gape-there, just writ
ing about it has started a yawn. And
the reason of it is the power of sug-
gestiOn. 1t is a well established fact
that one human being can affect an
other by force of suggestion, some
times this suggestion is intentional,
but more often it is not For in
stance, if every one around you is
laughing and making merry you
catch the infection and you want to
laugh, too. It's the same with yawn-
ming. But yawning is more catch
ing" than other things because a
yawn is nothing more than a breath.
We must breathe to live, and a curl
GUS thing about suggestion is that the
nearer it comes to the needs of life
the more infectious it is.
We take this deep breath or yawn
when we are bored or i'll and our
breathing is weaker than usual The
yawn is an attempt to catch up with
our breathing.

was plain from the efforts made more
or less successfully IN neighborins

1t is a very natural desire on the
part of the railroads to want hisher
pay for service. The question which Is
to be most carefully considered is one
of justice to the railways with equal
Justice to shippers. Not opportunity
for big shippers but justice TO all
whose produce goes out and whose
supplies come in by rail.
1t is period of depression when
all businesses suffer. The railways
are not unique in that. Thru the dis
organized conditions created mainly by
the great war practically all business
have been cramped and limited. 1t IS
the psychological time for The railways
IN urge their claims. But have the
railroads suffered more than private
business? Have the Iowa systems SUI
fered under the freight rates and pas
genger rates Of the past few years!
Iowa has prospered and the railways
appear to have prospered with her
OF course there is the instance OF the
Rock Island but nobody will attribute
| the condition of that road TO freight
rates or passenger rates.
If the railways Of Iowa were to DC
given official valuation the matter OF
freight and passenger rates might DC
approached with some sort OF Inathe-
matical balance.
1t is plainly a question Of doing jus
tice. The railways are entitled to
reasonable return Of investment as
are all other public utilities privatei!

THE WoRKINGMAN'S DOLLAR.
ISioux City Tribune.f


We do not want cheaper labor in
this country. We do not want the liv-
ing conditions OF $4,000 wage earners
normally employed in manufacturers;
100000 IN mines; 1.750,ooo on rail-
roads, and so on. reduced to a lower
level. AS a matter of mere cold
blooded economics we do not want
their purchasing power decreased. AL
ready, in the mass, these wage earners
get less Of the country's prosperity
than anybody else.-Saturday Evening
Post
Yet the industrial policy Of the
United States for two generations has
been framed for the direct purpose of
getting cheaper labor and high priced
products-thus cutting the purchasing
power OF the dollar at both ends.
1t is no theory which asserts the
most highly protected industries OF
this country pay the lowest wages.
The statistics gathered by both the
federal and various state governments
furnish indubitable proof OF that fact
BY reason of government interference
in the form of protective tariff
manufacturers have been able to sell
in n closed market which offered nc
competition and guaranteed them not
less than so per cent and often as high
as $50 to 200 per cent profit on their
output Yet these same manufac-
turers, by reason OF the govern
ments refusal to interfere by it's re-
fusing to restrict immigration, have
been going out and hiring their en-
ployes under the fierce competitive
system and in the open and cheapest
Dor markets of the world.
The evil effects Of this suicidal policy
are beginning to accumulate ahd
threaten the prosperity Of the whole
country. Just as matter OF what
the Saturday Evening Post calls cold
| blooded economics" 1t begins to dawr
upon the nation that it's the purchas-
! ing power of the workingmans dollar
that makes the prosperity Of the ma
ton in the aggregate.
The immediate problem is how tc

purchasing power of the masses vii

THEY DISAPPEAR YOUNG.

Twelve girls have disappeared in
Chicago within the last two weeks. ao-

Most OF these girls have felt the lure

lack Of will power. vicious environ
ment, and the snares of man and wom-
en- whose hearts are like the hearts OF
beasts.
The underworld is recruited from
the ranks of childhood. When that is
understood, the remedy becomes plain
er. A good part of it consists in keep
ing young girls off the streets at night.
They mean no harm, when they start.
but the men and boys who strike up an
acquaintance with them mean them no
good.
The girl who spends her evenings
on the streets. instead of at home. is
playing with fire. This is just as true
in Clinton as 1t Is in Chicago.
