Schultz, who was engineering the
transportation OF the animals from
Newark to New York. He explained
to Justice OBrien that his motor truck
went on strike after entering Jersey
City. and refused to move another inch.
Schultz was in too much OF hurry
to wait for repairs, so he and Mary de-
cided to continue on foot. They didn't
get very far when they ran afoul Of
McManus.
Standing in the center OF the road,
he lifted his club majestically into the

didn't heed, and McManus had to per-
form quick sidestep to save himself
from being mixed up with the soft
road. Schultz didn't have permit for
an animal parade, and was marched of
to the First precinct police station.
Mary and the dogs were taken to the

planned matters in court he was per-

The sudden flop OF Utah into the lis,

1t should be said that the Utah act Is

there seems to be no question that
these details will be safely attended

The far west and the old south are

irrevocably to the prohibition policy.

the PREDATORY SECTION HAND.

the section hand. 1t is he whose wage
drops first in times Of depression and
sinks farthest. Rarely does it rise
above dollar and a half ard it falls
to a dollar ten on the simplest pro-
vocation. Hence the impression has
been wide spread that the section hand
was not included in Mr.. Roosevelt's
classified lists of "malefactors of great
wealth. predatory nnanciers and the
like. 1t is probable that Mr.. Roose-
welt himself overlooked the section
hand when he ourst into full song
along the lines and the characters of
the predatory and ourseproud.
But murder will out and great wealth
is hard to conceal by any class. The
Conrad correspondent of this newsp-
aper wandering forth in search of news
and with a view to a longer string
happened upon a section hand worth
$4,000 He spread the news abroad
thru the medium Of light ard civiliza-
ton furnished by this journal. 1t was
considered a strange chance. But
listen:
People began to look around. The
Humboldt Republican stepped outside
the door and looking up and down the
street espied two section hands, one
of whom would cut up for 100000, the
other fixed for life with over $4,000
It entered its section men IN COM
petition with the Conrad person who
had spiked down the $50, 900 In effect
it saw Conrad's $50, 900 and raised it
$4,000. Now comes a correspondent
from Rockwell taking chips in the
game, seeing Conrad and Humboldt
with two Rockwell section men whom
he AYERS makes the Humboldt entry
looks like a busted inner tube" One
of the Rockwellians lives on and en-
joys $50 acre, of land worth $3.50 an
acre. The other left his estate $500
acres Of farm land Of similar value.
But that is not all. Comes Clifford,
where the Northwestern and the NJ. &

a section hand with whom the CORE
spondent fondly expects 70 make the
Humboldt financier resemble go cents

remains faithful to the employment
thru which it is to be assumed he has
tamped this mighty wad into the coop
ing box. And there you are with some
small idea of the enormouE returns
from sectionhanding.
The end is not yet. We shall hear
1t may be that the section hand
should be placed under the state rail-
way commission and that some action
should be taken to prevent the accum-
ulation of such vast sums in the hands
of the few. At least the matter would
be no worse for investigation. Possibly
the section hand should be listed as
public utility and denied the privilege
to thus absorb the farm lands and
corral the cash of struggling COM
munities.
The pot stands, Conrad $4,000:
Humboldt, $4,000; Clifford, $50 900;
Rockwell, 1880 acres of land worth
$50 an acre, or $4,000. Bring on the

Systematically with the highway situa-

The editor Of the Eagle made the
challenge the other day that the fifth
congressional district was the only dis
trict in the state having one saloon
town. A ninth district man sitting by

district had only one saloon town. Here

NAIL IT DOWN.
CCreStOn Advertiser.

For the legislature to declare that
the saloon can not legally exist in Iowa
and then fail to provide means for the
enforcement of the law in commun-
tiles where it would be ignored is I'M
wise and illogical. The state should
see to it that there is no return to
the conditions that prevailed before
the enactment of mulct law It can
not be denied that in many commun-
tiles the prohibitory law was a fall
ure, that liquor was sold openly and
without restriction Of any kind, that
conditions existed that disguised every
decent citizen and created sentiment

START BUILDING EARLY.

waterloo Times Tribune.1
Representatives OF the Iowa Lun Der
Dealers Association in convention in
Sioux City last week. asserted that the
price of lumber this season Will De
lower than it has been for years. No
reason was assigned for this but sew
eral members are said to have made
similar assertions.
If this be true, building operations in
Waterloo and Iowa should receive an
impetus, such as has not been felt FOR
years.
Those who contemplate building this
wear will greet the assertion with
thanksgiving as it means saving OF
msney for material And in this con-
nection it would be wise for those who
intend to build TO begin operations
early.
Spring is now virtually here and 1t
needs but a general building moves
ment to give steady work to an army
of men and to give an impetus to more
general prosperity in Waterloo.
Why wait until July or August TO
build. when contracts let now will set
the machinery Of building operations
moving and assure prosperous and
busy season in Waterloo?
UNJUST MEDICAL LEGISLATION.
Burlington .Hawkeye.l
The house public health committee
of the Iowa legislature has recon-
mended for passage a bill to regulate
the practice Of Christian Science and
to provide uniform standard for prac-
titioners Of any form of healing art
without major surgery or the INTERNAL
use of drugs.
The bill provides that all persons en-
gagged in the healing art. includins
doctors, osteopaths. chiropractors and
Christian Scientists shall secure a GER
tificate from the state board of medi-
cal examiners. They must have high
school diploma and show that they
have studied for four years in some
college, where their partic-
ular profession is taught.
While ostensibly treating all meth
DDS uniformly" the measure would
appear to be unjust and in the interest
of certain systems Of healing as against
others not thus favored What col
Iege," for instance would a student OF
Christian Science be required to at
tend for four years" in order to be
privileged to exercise an act OF faith :!
That is sham upon its face and utter
