Once in a while somebody gets the
idea that the reason the local paper
does not report every scandal that
comes to public knowledge is because
the publisher is afraid. That's not the
reason. The reputable newspaper.

one is a neighbor to everybody else.
takes no delight in giving publicity
to those things that have brought dis
grace to some family or heartache to
some wife or mother. 1t is much
much more pleasant to record the good
things that happen, to tell about the
incidents that tend to make life more
endurable, and that uplift rather than
tear down, that brings Joy instead OF
sorrow, pride instead Of heart-ache
So If you don't always find in the
Tama Northern the delectable bit OF
gossip that would doubtless make
good reading" and II you are In
clined to blame the editor because he
doesn't print all the news" consider
that some home has had enough worry
over unfortunate happenings. and that
the gossips and scandal mongers OF
the community can and will gladly
and ghoulishly give sufficient publicity
to the details to satisfy the lowest
tastes.

The death Of Judge McClain came as
shock to his Iowa friends and acquaint-
ances who had read with pleasure his
announced intention to return to his
home state to end his days. Judge
McClain was one OF the best known
jurists of the state and had been ex-
tremely prominent for years before his
removal to California. He had never
been satisfied with residence outside
of Iowa and Iowa had prepared to well
come him home to further usefulness.
The Manchester militia company has

Denison is trying to sell her hospi-

attempting to get rid Of them. A good

sity.

THIRST FOR ENTHUSIASM"
CAdair Naval

What we need most now Is q good
batch of our old time political en-
thusiasm. We need more protective
tariff" dope and host of fighters for
that great and necessary political doc
trine of the republican party. This
country cannot make ends meet the
way we Americans want and expect 1t
to meet by using free trade with world.
We don't and we won't live the way
the foreigners do, and we won't work
for such outlandish wages as they are
paid. There Is no argument about the
matter. We want protection and
chance at making living without be-
ing hampered by foreign competition.

[1owa City Republican,
The Republican Is neither Dragging
nor exaggerating when 1t says that
practically every home In Iowa City
Is one Of refinement and intelligence.
We have over 600 pupils in the high
school, q much greater number than
any city In Iowa, with even a few
thousand larger population. We have
very few of the non-supporting poor.
We have working people who have few
things beyond necessities, but they are
exceptions. Most homes are we'll fur
nished, and the people have many OF
the luxuries Of life. The city Is clean
socially and morally. There is Moth
ing of the degrading slum life in Iowa
City. What we show when visitors
come is just what we are all the other
days of the year.

ALL OF THEM RESPONSIBLE.
[Cedar Rapids Gazette.1

When you pull gun and shoot q
man thru the heart it Is probable that
you will be called a murdered.
If you stand idly by and watch q
man sink beneath the waves for the
third time, when single movement OF
your hand would have saved him you
may not be so accurately described by
word Of mouth, but you have COM
mftted murder.
II you permit blind man to walk
over preciptce when you might have
halted him, you have done murder.
When you allew a wounded man to
lie unassisted until he has bled to death
you are guilty Of the same crime. The
world may not look upon you as a
murderer, but it is apt TO glance at you
askance before your Maker judges you
as such.
Thursday morning 16-year old ne
gro boy was run over by train in the
railroad yards of Cedar Rapids. A rail-
road employee found him, with one leg
amputated. Did the railroad man lend
assistancef He did not. He notified
the police and engaged in an argu-
ment as to who should take care Of the
injured boy-the railroad or the city.
While the argument was going on over
the telephone the boy was bleeding to
death.
The police called the company sur
geon, who likewise refused to go to the
aid Of the wounded lad. He said the
boys injury was none Of his companys
business, and none Of his. And while
this argument was in progress the boy
was bleeding to death. lying unpro-
tected In a pouring rain. The city
physician was i'll. so he was not called.
Some time was spent In locating the
county physician, who gets $500 year
for doing several thousand dollars
worth OF city and county medical work.
But the county physician didn't muir
muir or argue. He did not attempt to
prove that the duty was that of the city
physician or the railroad or the po-
lice He promised to go to the injured
boy Immediately.
It was almost two hours after the
railroad man found the boy-and left
him lying, fatally injured-that the
ambulance reached the hospital. The
lads blood was practically all gone.
Had he lived it would have been mir
acle. He had been permitted to bleed
to death while strong men argued as
to who was responsible for his life. The
police captain probably did his best.
He as least stayed by the cause until
he got help for the boy, which was
more than the railroad which killed
him was willing to do.
Determine for yourself who was re-
sponsible.

He refuses to live on an unpaved
street longer than he can help.
The farmer who owns land that sells
at the prices at which Iowa land 10
eagerly taken should feel the same
way. He can not afford to be marooned
in mud. He Is able to have good
road to his markets, to his neighbours
and between him and his home town.
The two dispatches above are in
congruous. They don't match more
than splendid farm with modern
home matches a mud hole at the front

c,o.h.sIin. !. til. Banner Of Home.


Twice recently the clothesline has
appeared in the public print. A poor
old woman, dispossessed In New
Jersey. suffers the outrage Of having
her clothesline trailed In the mire, and
a minister. also OF New Jersey, has
his adversary arrested for pulling down
his clothesline. Anyone who has ever
had experience with clotheslines know
that interference with it while clothes
are pinned to it Is the very touchstonc,
the quick of human endurance. To
have ones clothesline interfered with
is like having the home banner trailed
in the dust; the sanctuary desecrated;
nothing is the same.
It ia one of the luxuries Of opulence
that you never have to come in contact
with the clothesline. That is why It
Is never in evidence in the sections OF
New York where the poor are not.
Tenements are always tangled up IN
clotheslines. You obtain views OF them
at the rear of all the tenements.
Clotheslines are one OF the things that
make them tenements.
In rural districts your social stand
ing may be established and maintained
by your clothesline The neighbors are
largely conversant with your mental
development thru the medium OF what
the clothesline reveals when you hang
all your clothes on it on wash day.
They know whether You wear COM
binations or lingerie, and they know
how often you make changes and when
YOU leave of iannels. They know how
YOU keep. up with your mending ana
they can tell how methodical you are
by the way you allow your clothes TO
be pinned to the line All these details
help with the psychology Of your social
standing and form the setting Of the
stage on which you perform Tor the
continuous audience OF your neighbors.
The clothesline is so Intimate Il
stands in with the gossip. It furnishes
evidences first hand.
One reason why we know 80 little
about our neighbors here In New York
ia because we never get q peep at their
clothesline. You can never get in
touch with your city neighbors thru
undertaking OF the laundry work.
They may wash out their clothing
themselves for all you know, or they
may send 1t out, or the Chinaman may
call for 1t. or they may have steam
drier In the basement, It is no mys-
terry, but just scheme for getting
away from the clothesline.
In some past incarnation everybody
in New York has suffered enough. and
every woman who keeps house knows
the process Of being made clean. thru
that-after the clothes have gone thru
endless rubbing and boiling and more
rubbing and rinsing and wringing and
starching and bluing and hanging out.
to have the line come down or be
pulled down-simply to have q man
arrested for It. IL too slight an ex-
preston for human emotion.
Lynching IL too simple, too trtfiing
an expression. The first impulse u
suicide and disintegration.
There are some trials in life Tor
which there - absolutely no anodyne.

THE GovERNoRsH1P.
Nevada Representative

Newspaper comment upon candi-
dates for the next republican nomina-
ton for governor becomes rather more
general with the seeming result that
the favorable expressions are very
largely for Cosson and the unfavorable
expressions almost wholly against
Harding. Senator Joe Allen appears
to have the third place in the discus
sion and the second place in favor.
That is to say, that while there IL
plenty Of talk about Harding there are
very few expressions of favor for him.
Perhaps the discussion 10 not correctly
representative of the real situation;
but actually we ere able 20 see very
little evidence Of effective support Tor
Harding. and we believe that his
strength and Importance as q candidate
have been very greatly overestimated.
Not in ability, experience; service or
character is he . man to appeal to the
republicans Of Iowa as an aspirant 1or

IN THE FARMERS PASTURE.
i


We are all prone to feel that as soon
as we get out in the woods we are Tree
from all restraint and most Of US
take liberties with the property Of
farmer that we would not think OF
taking in town. The result is that I'M
less a farmer has the patience Of
saint he soon tires Of being imposed
upon and closes his fields and woods to
everyone. the thoughtful suffering with
the thoughtless. If you like to go pic
nicking, hunting or fishing, try to
keep in mind a few little courtesies
that you owe to the host who grants
you entry to his land, and thus pro-
vide a welcome for the next fellow
that comes along and for yourself
when you want to come again.
Don't leave gates open.
Don't cut fences.
Don't shoot unless you are absolute
ly certain that no person or domestic
animal is within range Of your gun.
Don't shoot from public highways.
Don't leave fires burning; don't use
anything except drift or fallen wood
for fuel.
Don't get hilarious too near farm
house; the farmer enjoys peace and
quiet in his home just as much as you
do in yours.
Don't leave a lot Of litter after your
picnic. Try to keep the river banks
and pretty camping places clean.
Don't appropriate the farmers boat
or wagon or other property without his
permission.
Show the farmer the same courtesy
that you would expect of a man who
had asked the privilege Of spending
the day in your back yard, and there
will be no trouble between the farmer
and the man from town.

LOOKING DOWN.


Some folks have the habit Of look
ing down as they walk. Their eyes
seem to be seeking something on the
ground, as though they had lost their
purse or some other valuable article.
The practice becomes habit and soon
folks notice it in the individual and
remark about 1t. We overheard a
party say that certain individual
walked with his head down to better
enable him to pick up any strange
change that might lay in his path;
another called him a snoop. We are
not writing this to place under suspi-
cion any who may have formed the
habit Of walking with their head down,
but to remark people lose much Of
the beauties OF nature by not allowing
their eyes to drink in all the land
scape, the sky and cloud, the budding
trees, hedge row and the nesting birds
and countless little alluring and charm
ing panaramas the eye can find on
every hand. If you are one who looks
down, look up and be amazed at the
wonderland about you.

Various county fair associations have

pressed in recent years that the day Of
the county fair is past, the automobile
having so far enlarged our field OF
travel that the district or the state fair
is fairly within reach of most Iowans
And yet We note that preparations are
being made for ninety-one bigger and
