INDEPENDENCE?
TShenandooh World. /


II am absolutely independent 80 far
as Shenandoah u concerned; don't
own any property: don't owe any
body anything: the town Is nothing to
me except that cash my check here
every Saturday night"
We heard a laboring man say that.
Shenandoah Is a nice enough town
to live in and progressive suppose. but
it's nothing 10 me whether 1t grows
much or not. or whether we pave or
the merchants do good business or
times are good. have enough to live
on. thank the Lord, II the business OF
the town would stop tomorrow"
A man who is retired and lives OF
an income from farm and money
loaned out, said that.
I'm not particularly interested In
Shenandoah's prosperity: 1 owe the
town nothing and wouldn't give a
snap of my fingers for the business 1t
gives me. My business would go on
just the same II Shenandoah died to-
morrow. do not recognize any call
upon my loyalty to my home town."
A man with big out-of-town BUSH

Widespread than ever In the history OF
the city.
To be at all successful such an insti-
tuition should have the undivided sup
port Of all employers. It should be an
easy thing for the merchant, profes-
sional man. or the contractor using un-
skilled labor to make known his wants
to q municipal or charitable bureau.
and it would without question be far
easier for the unemployed clerk, office
man or woman. stenographer. or casual
laborer to register with the central
bureau and rest assured that the JOB
would seek the same agency.
Just now in Council Bluffs Jobs are
at q premium, but there are some jobs
seeking mon or women to fill them.
but the job looks one way and the
jobless seekers another. 50 1t is mere
chance II they como together. The free
employment bureau. conducted either
by the city or by the charitable or
carnations, would remedy this con-
dition II employers would give it half a
chance.

THE ANNUAL SALE.
(nala.o{r poctuforN

These annual sales have their pc
culiar features and one Of them ia that
they are resorted TO by the ancient and
honorable society of bargain hunters.
who seldom purchase anything except
at a sale. Since the clothing sales
opened in the city it was observed in
one store that the very same man. ac-
conpanied by the very same wife, were
at the very same store in the very
same month as last year in search Of q
suit at the very same reduced prices.
and they were waited on by the very
same man. At another. store lady
was informing clerk that for 'steen
years she had been accustomed to pur-
chase certain articles OF wearing APP
parel for her husbands at these AN
nuals." And that is all right. but it is
said that in certain instances some do
all the trading they ever do at these
stores during annual sales. The trouble
with some of US poor mortals is that
We are lacking in pure, unauthorized
nerve.

three articles Of feminine wear. OK
course when he reached the store he
hAd forgotten what they were. SO the
young clerk behind the first counter
vas amazed to hear: Excuse me; my

her some things to wear and I've for
gotten what they are. Would you
mind naming over few things?"

LIQUOR LEGISLATION.

In Iowa, 1t ought to be seen. there
is no need for additional liquor legis-
lation. When the mulct law was en-
acted. 1t was predicted that It would
whittle down the liquor business grad
ually but surely. 1t has gone on by
the process OF attrition. as the Ger
man naval writer's call 1t. 1t means
whiting down. a ship at a time in
the case OF the European combatants
and city or saloon at time IN
Iowa To begin with two-fitths of
Iowa was wet under the mulct law.
Today there are only few strong
holds left and some OF those are IN a
state of siege, like Przemysl in CAL
icia.
There is now no need to hasten
matters by the enactment OF additional
laws. We have laws in plenty to do
the work and the most ardent believ-
er in saloons does not believe that Il
will take long to make the state wholly
dry. The wisest among them seem to
accept the situation and the tendency.

CUMMTNS AND THE NOMINATION..
Nevada Representative

But there need be no such hesitation
with respect to Cumm.ns. His spurs
are fairly won and his prestige is I'M
impaired. After all OF his grueling ex-
pereince and In spite OF the bewildering
compiled tons of the past few years In
the repu b,ican party, he has come out
OF his latest and most important state
campaign al the very moment when
the party most wants to know the
truth about him and IN shape to prove
that he Is qualified to lead the con-
solidaied republican factions to VIC
tory. Iowa has been for years fair
and doubtful battle ground of these
factions. and there have uniformly
been In this state plenty NJ men ca
pable OF doing real political battle.
Furthermore, the republican fights here
have in fact been fought FOR what was
In them and TO have been In these fights
as Cummins has been In them and to
have come out OF them IS he has final
Is come out OF them, ought TO tell all
that the republican party wants TO
know OF Cummins real relation to
things At home
Perhaps this Is about rs far as for
the moment Iowa testimony had bet
ter be urged. The republican party
Ia no. going TO nominate Cummins for
president in order to oblige the state OF

forth: but in this article we will not

think that he and his state are alike

which have come many OF the best
exemplars of republicanism; but II we
thought that as presiden, he would be

years we have known him well. some

ITALIAN OFFICIAL JOURNAL
DECLARES POPE Sent WILSON
NO AUTOGRAPH ETTER AND NO
MESSAGE CONCERNING PEACE

delivered a message from the Pope to the
President but could not dvulge it's con-
tents. 1t was learned that the MESA ge
which came as a cablegram from Rome
addressed TO the Cardinal last Monday,
contained congratulations of Pope Bene-
dict to President Wilson for his efforts
on behalf of peace and expressed the
views of the Vatican, which are well
known. Thus, technically, the message
was to Cardinal Gibbons, although he
was commanded to expires. certain views
to President Wilson. That is the course
generally pursued in diplomatic relations
In Catholic circles here it is believed
the Vatican intended Cardinal Gibbons
should express to the President what he
knew to be the pontiffs position, and
that the Pope, while probably believing
that the time wos not one for a direct
personal communication. took the oppor-
tunty for preparing the way for such a
message. 1t is believed here that the
statements from Rome were prompted
by requests for the text of what was be-
leved there to have been formal COM
muncation from the Vatican to the
White House and that they were not in
tended as denials of the story as it was
published in this country.

Providence. r. l., Sept. 6.-Justlce
Willis S. Knowles of the 9Th judicial
district was assassinated just after ne
had left his home in North ScltLate
to take a trolley car for Providence
today He received three bullet
wounds two in the back and one IN
the jaw. The attack occurred about
a hundred yards from his house and
apparently from bushes that lined the
village road leading to the car line.
After having been wounded at least
once, the justice turned back and had
nearly regained the gate leading to
his place when he fell dead.
No Witnesses
The killing was not witnessed ex-.
cept by the assassins, who escaped
Later the police detained two men on
suspicion. They are Italian laborers.
and according to the police one of
them carried a revolver which was
loaded.
The body was found by Knowles
housekeeper. Mrs. Wardwell. who had
run from the house when she heard
three shots fired. AS she reached the
lawn she says she heard a mans voice
with a foreign accent cry, Now judge,
I've got you" She saw no one but
thought that the voice came from the
shrubbery.
