LEE SUPERVISORS
SELL OLD LUMBER
Supervisor HosIer Proves to be David
Harum Of Lumber Business
and Wins Treat.

Fort Madison Democrat: Saturday,
the county supervisors disposed of
some twenty-five thousand feet OF
bridge lumber which the construction
force had salvaged from old joint
county bridges and piled at Bridge
port, Augusta and Viewer. The lots
were disposed OF by auction, little
printers ink and a good auctioneer
proving good Investment and bring
ing considerably more returns than
personal sales would have brought,
netting in the neighborhood Of $500.
The sale at Bridgeport was at 900 a.
M. at Augusta at 11:00 a. m. and at
Viewer at 100 p. m. Col. Al Link
spelled as auctioneer. his father acted
as clerk OF the sales and Supervisor
Hosier OF Lee county, Supervisors
Swallow and Fimmen Of Des Moines
county acted as official overseers.
The Lee county representative had
little side transaction involving
some personal gain, the deal coming
out so successfully that he has taken
justifable pride in it. It seems that
the idea Of auctioning off the lumber
met with a little hesitancy as 1t had
not been tried before and some eff
forts were made to sell the lumber
by private sale. George Rogers, re-
tired Green Bay agriculturist and
known bow to stern Of the county,
was the most likely purchaser At We
yer and Chairman Hosier approached
him to talk sale. The Viewer man
was agreeable to thinking over the
proposition and the chairmen quoted
a price Of $3.50 for the whole lot at
Viewer, later splitting several differ
enoes and coming down to SIS. The
prospect insisted the lot was not
worth the half OF that and said the
whole amount Of lumber wouldn't
bring over SIS at auction, inadvertly

THAT FATAL TARiEE.

n the American farmer has fancy
for figures, he can find some interest
ing facts set forth in statistics con.
tanned in a pamphlet just issued by
the department OF commerce under
the title. Trade Of the United States
with Other American Countries. 1913
1914" Unfortunately, the statistics
deal with a fiscal year. and not with
a period fixed by changes in economic
policies. The figures regarding i'm
ports deal with the year ending with
June 90, in each instance, whereas
the new tariff law. which exerts so
large an influence upon imports, went
into effect early in October, 1913.
Il is therefore apparent that the
statistics for 1913 include full
twelve months under republican
tariff while the figures for 1914 cover

"rHE PAcE THAT KILLS"

A once charming actress is report
ed dying in New York hospital from
"the pace that kills"-an everyda,
Eevent-a mere drop OF water in the
boundless ocean of disaster from the
same cause. says the Quincy Journal
The pace that kills does kill
1t does not always kill quickly
More's the pity. The only escape frocl
its killing effect is suicide, and suicide
| is but one OF its methods. Suicide may
shorten the run of the pace, but does
not baffle it.
The devil must laugh in derision OF
the victim who foolishly seeks 20
escape the penalty by leaping head
long into his pit through suicide. The
devil may be cheated of some chance
to torture that victim on earth. but he
has him safe enough. Just the same.
But what the devil must like best
is for the pace itself to kill-to kill
piecemeal
He must delight with truly internal
fendishness to see the exceptionally
bright young man or woman slowly
but surely turn dullard. and active
become sluggish, the ambitious lose
heart and hope and faith, the pros
porous feel the pinch of poverty.
He must delight to see the glow OF
health give way to the fever flush or
sickly pallor, the bright eye turn
bleary, the firm hand tremble, the
springing gait become stagger or a
shuttle.
How the devil must laugh to see
self-control, power, self-respect. pride,
hope, manhood steal away, one by
one, leaving the victim to suffer out a
miserable existence, to be heartsi ,E
in the midst of gayety and to die alone
in the midst of life.
Surely nothing can delight the devil
more than to see his victim take the
tempting bait and the barbed hook and
then to pay with him as the cruel
sportsman plays with the game trout.
knowing he is secure at the end o.
the line.
It is fine fun for the devil, but poor
profit for the victim.
What a wonderful thing the law OF
compensation is.
We may jusgle with the laws Of ma.
ture for a while. but the good old
laws continue in force just the same.
We cant alter or evade them.
The pace that Kills has it's allure
ments. It has its enjoyment for
while.
But, some day. gross habits form a
prison that cannot be broken, AMI
life is narrowed down by hateful bond.
The pace that kills offers many
promises.
It keers but one-ft kills.

The Republican Trend.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: The re-
suits Of the canvass conducted by the
Washington bureau OF the New York
Sun, to ascertain the sentiment of the
country in respect to republican can
didates for president, are OF interest
more as an indication OF the trend OF
thought and feeling within the party
than as a revelation Of personal pref
erences; and this notwithstanding the
fact that the trend has been apparent
to intelligent observers for months.
Principles, in democracy, are always
more important than personalities,
and 1t is the principles Of the repub-
Iican party that have won It's battles
and achieved It's triumphs. 1t was an
internal war OF personalities that
caused its downfall in 1912. The
foundations Of the party were neither
disturbed nor involved until men rath-
er than beliefs became the overpow-
ering issue And in the division which
followed the differences OF principle
were more apparent than real Fun
damentally the progressives were new
er far away from the republicans.
They developed some novel theories
of popular and governmental powers
and duties which were distinguishing
decorations of platform that retain
ed the essential elements Of republi-
canism.
So it was that when the personal
element Of contention was removed
by dual defeat they began at once to
drop back into the places they had
but temporarily vacated. They had
