Pride In the Country.

We hear the term "civic pride" In
the city. II applies just As much to
the country resident. It means the
pride that causes you to keep your
premises clean and slightly and pre-
sentable to the stranger or passer-by.
And then you yourself might get some
pleasure out Of the well-kept farm.
Measured by the common standard.
keeping your farm tidy actually adds
dollars to its value and to the value of
the products you have for sale. Let's
clean up and stop breeding trouble on
our farms.

REACIiokkRiES, ETC.

There We're reactionaries and pro-
gressives in the old days. The words
We're just as expressive anciently as
now. Whatever the words were in the
dead languages they stood for stand
patters and reactionaries and progress
sives just the same. Somebody says
most of our cuss words have a Greek
root. When Noah went into the ark
business. he was a progressive. Some
of the crowd in the legislature said 1t
wasn't going to rain much. They We're
standpatters, and the other crowd,
bound to destroy the ark, were reac-
tionaries All this is necessary when
we discuss present conditions in Iowa
And here's tthe funny part of the
whole business. You cant count" on
a reactionary always reacting. stand
patter always rennaing stationary or
progressive going ahead. The progress
sivse and reactionaries voted together
on the mulct law and "Everlastingly
cleaned OUT the standpatters. In the
house a reactionary majority kills the
highway concession While progress
sive senate proposes TO put new life
into it. So after all it's impossible TO
classify our legislature.

IL THEY'D KEPT the OLD LADY THERE

Most of US will recall the case Of the
old lady who lived within ten miles OF
Mason City and who never rode on a
railway car. never went to town anu
like the flower in Gray's Elogy wasted
her sweetness on the desert air" The
newspapers told of her lately. Every
one read it. 1t was a news curiosity.
Perhaps slanderous tongues inquired
why anyone should go to Mason City
and commended the judgment OF the
lady in remaining at home where she
could see something. If SO Jealousy
and envy tipped their tongues. But the
old lady never went anywhere.
However, she wasn't more contended
and of the vegetable type than Mr..
Johnston's road bill. 1t seems intended
to keep people at home whether they
wish or no.
The Johnston bill is gaining SOM
support in the farming districts thru
a m;sapprehension, indefatigably spread
by those who wish return to the
oid conditions saa: c movement .s on
foot to pave every strip of cross roaos
in Iowa and make the farms pay for
it.
There is some talk of paving or hard
surfacing the main roads. 1t is good
common sense talk at that. Most
farmers agree with the surfaced road
idea. There are differences Of opinion
as to the best materials and the cost
What is being asked is not that paving
or hard surfacing shall be forced upon
Iowa but that districts which desire
to hard surface or pave certain high
WAYS shall be given the legal machin.
cry to enable them to do it if they
wish.
If the old lady had wanted to go 10
town, had desired greatly to ride on
the "choo choos" or to take a spin
in IN auto she certainly should have
had the chance and her family would
not have imprisoned her on the farm.
Would they?

A SIGN OF THE TINES.


Whatever may be the merits OF the
railroads request for raise in pas
senger rates from two to two and
half cents a mile, the public ought to
appreciate the change in the attitude
of corporations toward desired legisla-
ton. Time was when the voice OF the
railroads was heard thru well organ
lied lobby, backed by plenty OF money.
1t whispered to the lawmakers in the
cloakrooms. the corridors Of the no.
tells. and in secret conferences. Smooth
tongued men punctuated their argu-
ments with flashes Of the 'long greenS
When necessary pressure was brought
to bear by INSCRIPTIONS methods. The
orders from the railroad presidents
seated comfortably in their magnificent
offices were to defeat this bill or pass
that one at any cost.
Times have changed as events OF
the last few weeks prove very forcibly.
When the railroads determined to ask
for an increase in passenger rates they
adopted the modern methods. Presi-
dents. general managers and other high
officials of all the big lines that pass
thru the state appeared in person be-
fore committees. They presented their
facts and answered questions. Friends
OF the road circulated petitions in ev-
cry county Of the state asking the leg
islature to grant the increase In the
same manner as labor unions. farmers
and others have been accustomed to
do. AS d clinciing argument TO the
change in faith the railroads did not
work thru any member Of the legisla-
ture or group Of members but they pre-
pared the bill, desired and openly
asked the railroad committees to In
troduce 1t 30 that the matter might be
considered on its merits.
A similar campaign is being waged
in Illinois. The same group Of offi-
Gals with many others have appeared

acrimony has arisen between the rep.

acrimony has arisen between the rep
resentative. the league referred to
and the physicians.
So Mr.. Miller ,rises In the house OF
representatives to defend the league
which pants for medical freedom. A
doctor upon whom fate and his fathers
had fastened the name Of Duhigg had
wired the Chicago office OF the league
the local representative or Of any per-
son who can be depended upon. This
was sly, mighty sly, Of Doc. And the
Chicago office Of the league told him
to see Hon. Charles w. Miller, Of the
Iowa house Then what does Doc do
but ask where financial help might be
had to defeat certain health legisla-
ticn, says he will see Miller soon and
wants to know, How far can go with
him? Can he be depended upon to go
the limit?" And gets wire back that
Mr.. Miller can undoubtedly answer
your questions"
So Representative Miller explains
that he is, himself. the president OF
the League Of Medical Freedom" that
Jim Weaver used to belong to 1t and
that Clara Barton was among the first
to respond to the battle cry Of medi-
cal freedom" Mr. Miller is not in SYM
pathy with DR.. Duhigg at all. In fact
he Classics statements made before
the senate committee as false and ma
licious. He produces letter from Mr.
Mason, secretary Of the league OF
which Mr. Miller is, the high official.
which suggests that committee be
named to examine the financial re-
ceipts and expenditures Of the league,
tracing thus the funds OF that organ
ization as to whence they came and
whittier they go.
Perhaps Mr.. Miller and others who
belong to and constitute the League
of Medical Freedom" are sincere in
their purposes. Leaving out of consid-
Grafton any theories Of medicine and
cure whether they treat by contraries
or stand by similia similiabus OF pinch
ings of the abdomen and twisting OF
legs an darms or rippings OF the
backbone or consist Of mental mas
sage, leaving that all outside for the
different schools and cults to quarrel
over among themselves this much
seems to be logical: The person who
is to be licensed to treat disease ana
preside over human life should have
at least the equivalent of high
school education; he should be able to
draw a fairly good ground plan of the
construction of the human body and
have a general working knowledge or
the functional specifications OF the
structure. In short before any person
is permitted to monkey with the hu-
man frame divine and mess around
with human life he should be the pos
SCISSOR of a fairly good general educa-
ton and know something of where the
wires lead and how the switches work.
Otherwise he will find himself. like we
did when in the confident exuberance
Of youth we took the family clock
apart with a lot of wheels and truck
left over when we got it together again
and that was hard on the clock.

THE mEp,cos AND TINE FREEDOM LEAGUE

Between Representative Miller and
the medical men and the League OF
Medical Freedom" whatever that is.
exists no spirit Of christian sweetness
and love. An impression prevails that
Mr.. Miller looks upon the medical pro-
fession as trust and few other
things which need not be mentioned
and that the medicos gaze upon Mr..
Miller and his activities with feeling
akin to repulsion. The medical profess
sion does not favor chiropractics and
shealers";; Mr. Miller does. And in
the discussion Of these matters some
