GEORGIA NEEDS NO AID
IN RUNNING DOWN MOB
Governor Harris Says Northern Inter-
ference VIII DO More Harm
Than Good.

Atlanta. Ga. Aug. 2o.--Governor
Harris voiced his indignation today
at what he terms the interference OF
Northern newspapers and organtza-
tions with the States effort to bring
the lynchers of Leo Frank to justice.
His opinion Is that these things will
be resented by the people OF Georgia
and will do more harm than good
The lynching was a crime against
civilization of our State and blot
upon 0eorgia's fair name that can
not be erased" said the Governor.
None of US approve Of mob violence,
or lynch law. and all of us regret what
has happened, / have and will con-
tinue to exert every power at my COM
mand to bring the members OF the
mob to justice. =
"But If the members of the mob
are brought to justice 1t viii be
through the courageous efforts OF
Georgia officials and courts. supported
by the sentiment Of the citizens of the
state. and not through the newspaper
editorials and resolutions of indigna-
ton and offers of rewards coming
from other States. Georgia Is ad-
equately capable of coping with the
situation without suggestion of outside
aid"
The Governor announced that he
would call a conference in the near
future to bring together the officials OF
Baldwin and Cobb Counties to take
some action in the case.
After a conference with Attorney
General Walker, the reward onereo
for the lynchers OF Frank was reduced
to $1,000 instead of s2.5o0. This was
done because the larger reward would
have left but $3.50 in the reward fond

manders OF a certain army corps.
They examined the various types Of

which was the only loafng place there
was there then, when they got to talk
ing about the towns name, and how
it would probably get confused with
Red Oak, our neighbor on the north.
One Of the party suggested that this
valley here reminded him so much Of
the Shenandoah valley in Virginia and
then somebody else suggested that
Shenandoah would be a good name
for this place. So they got up petit
ton to Burlington railroad folks, ask
ing them to change Fair Oaks to Shen-
andoah. It was done, and 1t has been
ever since.
And that makes one naturally ask,
what does Shenandoah" mean? 1t Is
an Indian name. and means daughter
OF the skies. 1t gets it's origin from this
fact that the Shenandoah river in the
Shenandoah valley in Virginia is rath-
er wide, but not very deep; 1t is ex-
ceeding clear, and on moonlight even
ings the Indians there in an early time
noticed that 1t mirrored the heavens
and the skies so clearly that they
named it the Daughter Of the Skies"
on that account. Rather pretty. isn't
1t?

TWO VICTORIES.

Here are two victories from the news
reports Of yesterday:
In the west General French reports
that the Germans by the use of as
phyxiating gas penetrated the British
lines at two points. News from Italy
gives account of an attack by an
Italian destroyer which entered the
port Of Buso near the Austrian frontier
and destroyed the railway station and
all motor boats In the harbor inf1icting
great damage and leaving it's compile
ment of dead and wounded behind.
Then here's another:
Willard Zeller of Greene county,
Iowa, has received word that his
bushel of corn has been awarded first
prize at the Panama exposition in COM
petition with the world.
Compare the two reports Of success.
1t is the difference between Iowa and
the boundary lines where men destroy
fields and factories and trample grow
ing crops into bloody mud, the diff
ference between destruction and
growth, the difference between making
two blades of grass grow where one
grew before and that insanity that
leaves one living man behind it where
two lived before 1t passed.
The man who won the prize with his
bushel Of corn is greater than he who
taketh a city. Iowa should be prouder
of him than France Of Joffre or Ger
many of Won Hindenberg. His medal
is finer one for larger service than
any flashing decoration that marks the
successful general.
The agricultural school at Ames is
doing work beside which all the labor
Of the war college is insignificant and
contemplate. When Iowa raises men
and Iowa men raise the best corn In
the world they take rank as highest
types upon which the dependence of
the future rests in security. War is an
insanity Only peace and the arts Of
peace are sane.
See the pictures: Murder and battle
and sudden death and deserted fields,
burning cities and robbery of grave
and cradle to satisfy a blood lust;
peaceful fields where the corn shoots
its green promise of plenty, quiet vii
lagos and prosperous cities, women
who smile instead of weep, the medal
of FILLER against the iron cross, the
plow against the machine gun, happi-
ness against despair.
Which picture, which victory?

THEY DON'T MATCH.

A news dispatch from Tama tells Of
the sale Of big farm at $3.50 an acre.
A fortune changed hands. The farm
was on the Lincoln highway.
Another dispatch from Clar:nda in
Page county speaks Of a road day
scheduled when 800 farmers and BUSH
ness men are expected to be on hand
with their shovels to build roads,"
Farm lands in Page county along the
Nishna are Of the best and highest
priced farm lands in the world. The
Nishna valley Is the equal Of the Iowa
river valley in this section as regards
its fertility and desirability Of its
farms.
Five hundred farmers With siiioveis
may be spectacular but it isn't war. It
isn't road building. That is to say If
500 farmers and business men with
shovels were to turn out. They will
not. The hurrah is likely to tlwindle to
squeak. The day Of the road hurrah
is past.
It is time for it to go. When a big
Iowa farm changes hands at $3.50 an
acre we have gone by the shovel and
the spectacular stage. We can build
roads and should build them as other
wealthy districts build roads-with
money instead Of shovels and single
days and loud talk. We are putting up
the money now faster than any other
state but we are getting nothing bu,
mud while others get pavsments at the
same cost.

JITNEY REGULATION.

The jitney bus ordinance, altho not
what either Of the extremists wanted,
is a good start in the right direction.
It provides for satisfactory regulation
and some protection for the public.
The thought Of service to the commune
ity is emphasized in the ordinance. II
there Is to be another form Of trans
portation on the Davenport streets, the
council insists it shall be service that
will be worth while. This is provided
in the regulations Of hours OF oper-
alton. The cars shall run sixteen hours
a day. 1t is also provided in the re-
quirement that there shall be definite
schedules which must be adhered to.
This will make any jitney service that
is established dependable. 1t Is also
provided that the cars shall be operated
over a definitely prescribed route.
There is to be no running OF cars on
one street today and another tomor-
row.
It may be held that the long hours
make it impossible for the owner OF
car to run it himself without assistance.
That may be true, but it is altogether
a secondary consideration. II the 1it-
ney bus is to be operated at all IT
should be operated so as to accommo-
date the people within reasonable
hours Two drivers for each car prob
ably will thus be required, and II there
is not business enough to make the
operation Of the car profitable under
such circumstances it Is merely an evil
dence that there is no urgent demand
for the jtney bus
Provisions for the revoking Of the
license will make for quick results In
enforcing regulations. There will be no
winking at attractions of the rules. The
business will have to be carried on as
REQUIRED or it will not be allowed. This
will tend to keep the number OF cars
down to what may be a necessary
minimum and it will protect the people
on the streets by eliminating the care
less drivers.

SMALLPOX IN IOWA.

Tho Iowa state board Of health re-
norts upon two deaths from smallpox
during February. There were two IN
January. And not SO very many years
ago. years without bringing a fatality
due to this cause in Iowa
It was on May IA, 1896, that the fact
was definitely established, that vac
cination is a protection against small
pox. DR., Jenners discovery was OF
momentous Importance and has led to
many important steps in the work OF
preventing disease rather than IN
fighting epidemics. The news OF Jen-
ner's success seems to have spread
over the world with great rapidly.
And there was time when smallpox
was considered conquered ana almosl
wiped out. Everybody was vaccinated
and there was no longer a POSSIBILITY
that the dread plague would gain
foothold anywhere and could become
epidemic
In recent years, people who had no
medical training, no scientific knowi-
edge. have been arguing and preach
ing against vaccination. Strange 70
say. they found many who lent their
preaching a willing ear, and VAGINA
ton has to some extent gone out OF
fashion. People were wont to look
after the vaccination of the different
members OF their family. just as they
kept up their Insurance, their taxes,
etc. In late years many have neglected
this very important duty. As 9 resui.
there is more smallpox in the United
states than has been the case IN re-
cent years. perhaps more than ever
before.

THREE STORY SCHOOL HOUSES.

Mason City has recently bonded her
self for a large sum to pay the cost
Of a high school building. 1t is three
story structure. Forest City Is to have
a new school building of which the
Republican prints drawing. 1t rs
also three stories.
These towns are making a serious
mistake. The really modern school
house calls for not more than two
stories. To multiply stairways in a
school building is to multiply weari-
ness and disease. The new school
house built under the knowledge that
has come of later years avoid height
and the necessity of climbing up and
down stairways. Perhaps our mothers
and grandmothers were better fitted to
sustain the hardship of a dozen trips
up and down stairways. The fact re-
mains that physicians attribute much
of the physical troubles Of their grand
daughters to stairways in the school
buildings.
Moreover there is no necessity to
build up in the average Iowa town.
Sites are not so prohibitively expensive
as to preclude building school houses
with two floors.
Forest City should revise her plans.
Build the school house according to
modern understanding Of health and
efficiency. What use has a town like
