SHOT With RIFLE.
Six Year Old Daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs
A. 3. Wood Accidentally Shot by
Playmate, Howard Cochran
BALL PENErRATEs LEFT LIMB
Injury Painful, but Not Serious-x.
Ray Photograph May be Neces-
sary to See if Bone is Injured

Little Margaret Wood. six year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Wood
was accidentally shot in the leg on
Monday afternoon. The accident hap
pehed while the little girl was play
ing on the front porch of the q. T.
Cochran home on East Walnut street
together with some OF her playmates
1t seems that Margaret, together
with Howard Cochran, five year old
son OF Clyde Cochran, who is visiting
at the home of his grandfather. Mr..
l.. T. Cochran, and some other little
tots. were playing on the front porch.
The little Cochron boy found %
calibre rifle back of door in the hall
of the Cochran home and dragged it
out onto the front porch to show it to
his playmates. Unfortunately, the
gun was loaded and in handling it he
accidentally pulled the trigger. The
ball struck Margaret in the left limb,
passing through the calf of the leg.
While The injury was a most painful
one. it is fortunate, indeed. that it
did not lodge in the bone. Mrs. A. b.
Wood was spending the afternoon at
the home of Mrs. l.. A. SeWell and
rushed over to the Cochran home only
few moments after the accident oc-
cured. A physician was summoned
and the wound dressed.
Word from the Wood home today is
to the effect that the little girl is rest
ing easy and not suffering from the
effects of the terrible experience. 1t
may be necessary to takeI an N-ray
photograph of the injured limb to
ascertain whether or not any bones
were injured. 1t is fortunate indeed
that the bullet did not strike Il more
vital part.
We wonder what the postmaster
general would think if he should come
to Denison and observe in front OF
the post office tent, obsrructing the
view of the building, erected for the
purpoes of selling modern remedies.
We wonder what the people of Deni-
son think about, the exhibition. We
know what the mayor and the city
council think from the fact that they
permit the obstruction of the street
by this unsightly tent. DenisOn is en-
titled to better treatment and we hope
the time will come when this fact
will be recognized.

RURAL CARRIERS
LOSE POSITIONS
Order Comes Presumably From Fourth
Assistant Postmaster, Discharg.
inq All Present Carriers.
MOTOR VEHICLE SERVICE NOW
Means Discontinuance Of Several
Routes and a Reorganization in
Other Parts of County.

A sensation was sprung in Denison
few days ago, which no doubt is
duplicated throughout the cuntry ev-
cry place where rural free delivery
service is in force, when the order for
a reorganization of the rural mail
routes in the county was promulgated.
We do not know whether the order
comes from the postmaster general
or the fourth assistant, ut presume
the fourth assistant, inasmuch as the
rural free delivery service is under
his control But whoever is to blame
for it will find that the most unpopu-
lar thing which could have been done
is to be initiated.
After the first of October it is said
that all the rural carriers and their
substitutes will be dropped from the
government service. 1t was but a
short time ago that competent resi-.
dent OF Denison, who took the exam
ination for position in the rural
free delivery service, was turned down
in favor of man living at Rippey,
Iowa. This gentleman came over here
after having provided himself with
means for carrying the mail at con-
siderable expense to himself, and
now finds that under this order he is
to be brushed aside on the first of
October and compelled to look for an
other position. This reform comes
about by reason of the claim that
motor vehicle service is to be estab-
lished. They say it means the discon-
tinuance of several of the routes out
of Denison and reorganization of the
routes in other places in the county
so that service will not be furnished
from the towns from which it is now
furnished in some instances. In the
reorganization routes and I from
Denison are consolidated. The same
is true OF routes 5 and 2 and 6 and 3,
while number from Denison is con-
solidated with route from Arion,
which means that the present routes
are heightened and carrier is to fur
furnished by two carriers. MANN
nish service that now is practically
hereafter, who carries the mail must
provide himself with a motor vehicle
of such capacity and weight which
would not be so Objectionable il the
highways were paved or generally
kept in proper condition for the use
of such vehicle, but unfortunately.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1915-09-22

in Crawford county, the best county
in the state for raising corn, the high.
ways are not always in good condition
and One.third to one-half of the year
are so that motor vehicles cannot be
used. This, of course, means that
the carrier must be supplied with 9TH
er modes of conveyance so that he can
pass over his route six times week.
This will compel him to avail himself
of livery teams at great expense to
himself and inasmuch as the route
he makes is heightened out so much
beyond what it is now he would be
unable to make 4the trip in one day,
which will require the aid of an as
sistant. The inevitable result OF this
reform is to destroy the efficiency of
the service which the patrons now en-
joy.
If the carriers now find it impossi-
BILE to make their trips every day at
some seasons of the year, on account
of the unsatisfactory weather, with
the routes no longer than they are.
what is to be expected when the length
of the ruote is doubled and the only
means of making the route is by the
use of team such as the carrier now
employs? 1t looks as if it were un-
fair for the government, after having
employed the army of men now in use
in carrying the mails in the country
and after they have qualified them
selves for carrying the mail lat con-
siderable expense. that they should
ruthlessly be cast aside and their
Mo foly Iv hnffnr IL
fled to furnish effective service. 1t is
true. we understand, that the carriers
now in use are eligible to take the
civil service examination for positions
to be offered under the new arrange
ment but everyone knows that car
riers from Denison, who are but a
sample of the carriers from other
places. are not qualified to take up
motor service such as the government
intends to employ. 1t is said the
change will result in saving Of
$24OO a year at Denison. but it is evil
dent that the amount will prove poor
compensation for the loss in efficiency
of the service.
We predict that this is but another
move on the part of the postmaster
general to furnish employment for
democrats out of Office under the pre-
text OF a reform in the service the
same as was done when fourth class
postmasters were compelled to take
the civil service examination although
they had held Office for years and
We're well qualified to discharge the
duties of the office. The result Of
that reform was to turn republicans
out of office and to fill their places
with democrats, and we will not be
surprised to see the same thing
brought about in this proposed reform.
We are satisfied that. no demand on
the part of thepublicis made for this
reform and especially when the high
way in the country is such that motor
service is practically impossible a
large portion of the year.

Some Of Best Instructors.
EVERY TEACHER TO ATTEND
Dates Earlier Than last Year in Or
der That TeachersNMay Not En-
counter Disagreeabie Weather

The annual Crawford County Teach.
ers' institute will be held in Denison
on October 7th. Sth and 9th. County
Superintendent of Schools F. N. Olry
is sending notices out this week to all
Of the teachers Of the county announc-
ing the dates and it is expected that a
large number of the teachers will be
in attendance at the three day session.
The institute is being held earlier
this year than it was a year ago to
permit every teacher in the county at.
tending. Last year the institute was
held in December during the short
course, but the bad weather at that
time interfered with many from at
tending so Superintendent Olry has dc.
cided to hold the institute earlier. In
doing this he believes that teachers
will have an opportunity of studying
conditions in schools they are teach
ing and can come to the institute and
gain many ideas that will prove OF
benefit in their work.
Arrangements have been made for
a fine institute this year and while
the program has not yet been COM
pleted it is believed that it will be far
superior to those given in the past.
DR.. Wasson. of the State university
at Iowa City, has been secured for the
meeting and this news will meet with
approval on the part Of the teachers
who so enjoyed his lectures last year.
Professor Clark, superintendent of the
schools at Sioux City, will also be
present and deliver several lectures.
Superintendent Olry is writing sever
al other prominent instructors ask
ing them to be in attendance, but as
yet has been unable to announce the
program in full.

THE ISSUE

It is reported that the avowed in
tention of the Republicans to make
Protection the issue in 1916 is regard
ed by the White House as interesting.
The g~et-together movement of the Re-
publicans and Progressives is probably
as interesting. The bushes of the
country is behind Protection, and labor
has joined the movement. Such Pro-
gressives as Clapp and Bourne break
bread with Root and G~allinger, and
there is harmony all along the line.
tributors to the Progressive campaign
chest, is the head of the Republican
publicity bureau. In every state lead
ing P~rogressives are working with
their Republican brethren. And the
point is that President Wilson's Tariff
policy is entitled to the main credit
for this harmony. The Tariff was the
one particular thing upon which both
branches of the Republican party
agreed in 1912. Assault upon that pol
icy has done most to get the divided
brethren together. The people have
memories long enough to recall the
piping days of prosperity. They re-
member that Protectionists predicted
precisely what has occurred to indus
try if our markets were surrendered.
They saw the markets taken over by
foreigners long before the European
wal came to take the blame for all
unsettledness in business and for lack
of evenu They are for the policy
which opens and enlarges factories.
The Republican party is wise and con-
sistent in making the Tariff the main
issue in 1916.-Watertown IN. -

Deafness is caused By an infiamed CON

imperfect hearing, and when it is en-

REDFIEID DoDaEs THE ISSUE

The Pennsylvania manufacturers
who protested last July to the Presi-
dent at the prostration of their indus
tries by the Wilson, Underwood Tariff
were bold in asking an infallible adj
ministration to admit frankly its error
in enacting a semi Free-Trade Tariff.
1t may be they got only what they
expected when Secretary Redfeld told
them in December that there WASH t
any depression in their businss; and
if there was any falling off, it was
all their own fault.
But when the Secretary of Com
merce instituted an official investiga-
tion into the conditions of industry
in the Norristown section of Pennsyl-
vania the whole country was entitled
to the facts. Instead the Secretary gets
from his special agent a labored effort
to vindicate the Seeretary's own pre-
Judgment, and adds thereto a scolding
of the manufacturers who did not bow
down and worship before the Free
Trade shrine set up in Washington.
SO far as pertinent facts were allow
ed to filter into the report of Norris
town conditions, they showed a falling
of of 1875 per cent in the number of
men employed in thirty concerns, as
between January, 1914, when the Free.
Trade depression was well under way
and January, 1915, when the revival
was on. due to war demands for Amer
iean goods. As for restitution due to
the depression, the report showed an
increase of 265 per cent in the mum
Der of persons relieved by the assoeiat'
ed charities.
AS for trade facts, the report CLOSES
over an increase of 10 per cent in i'm
nortations of hosiery, and seeks tc
cover the Oppressive effects of the Viii
sor Tariff by statistics of the inereas
ed exports Of the past few months
due solely to the necessities OF the war
ring nation. The effect of countrywide
sta enation on the industries OF the
Norristown section is totally ignored

THE END NOT FAR OFF

Last week s10,O0O,O00 in German
treasury notes were placed on the
American market, and IS PEE cent Of
the entire issue was slapped up by
leading Philadelphia fnapciers. 1t s
claimed that they had inside infcrma.
ton that the war would not last thirty
days longer.
While il may not stop within that
time, all indications 70 to support the
pi ediction that it carnot last to eA
ceed ninety days. The several be.lig-
erent nations have slreaoy drained
their countries of their resources aud
are now calling on The United States
not only for cash bur for food and
fighting equipment. As soon as our
surplus or the foreign credit are ex-
hausted the warning nations will be
compelled to make terms and quit.
1t would have Desl comforting u
greater boon on humanity had this
country refused to sell to tho beilig-
erents from the first. BY this action
we would have acco nIiished much
more towards securing peace than we
did by appointing special davs for

east any doubts upon the efficacy of
prayer, the old saying that "tbe 1.Md
