A GENEROUS TRIBUTE FROM A
FORMER FOE.

Dear Sir: Please pardon a few
words, congratulating you on your
brave, fearless and priceless stand
you take in defense Of our State,
our laws, our liberties, freedom of
speech and the press, our State and
people, and the weak and poor
against the rich and strong
Oh, that we had more men like
you! I was once a blind, prejudicial
and partisan Democrat, and was told
you were q traitor to every party,
and the South, and was out only for
the dollar and our political prestige
and the downfall of all those who
opposed your views and plans.
Of recent years [ have watched
you and read after you, and, so far
as ] can see, you are a real, true
friend to the masses, and my only
wish is that we have more men like
you.
I would like to ask all those cid,
blind, prejudiced moGs-backed Dem
ocrats the following questions:
First Who do they think is pay
ing you for the defense of our State,
courts and laws, and the verdict of
twelve honest jurymen in the Frank
case, against the unjust and un-
scrupulous attack of the rich Jews,
their influence and their hirelings?
Second. Who is paying you to
risk your life to dare to expose the
Roman Catholic Church, who are
trying to control our Government,
suppress free speech and press, kill
our free school system, disregard our
marriage laws and call our women
lewd and our children bastArds and
last, but not least, to ignore our
God-given Word New Testament),
and to force our free, independent,
blood-bought republic to bow down
to a foreign italian Pope?
Third. Who pays you to criticise
the Wasteful expenditure of foreign
missionary money, to the neglect of
our poor and ignorant here at home?
Fourth. Who pays you for criti
cising our President and other high
officials for catering to and pamper-
ing the Catholic party and allowing
them to dictate or influencing them
for the sake of their political fnflu-
ence?
Fifth. Who pays you for con-
demning Asa G.. Gambler for manu-
featuring and selling his "dope,"
which is wrecking the nerves and
health of so many boys and girls,
men and women?

latest jeff with infinite pleasure. 1t
did not seem possible to me that you
could improve on what you have
said heretofore in the Frank case,
but this last article is the best one.
That you will ever improve on this,
do not believe.
AS our mutual friend, Charlie
Hill, used to say, measuring my
words" l express my sentiments
when | say no man, ancient or mod
ern, pagan or Christian, dead or
alive, can express himself with the
power which characterizes what you
say to the people. sit is that power
above power of heavenly eloquence
that with the strong rein of COM
handing words doth master, move,
and sway, the eminence of mems
affections"
I suppose you have seen where he
has had barbed wire put in his front
yard, and the available parts Of the
army have been called in to sur
round him. And all Of this merely
ON account of the noisiness of school
children! The campaign for Frank
to get out is being started The
people are being deceived by having
it represented that he is in stripes
in the cotton patch. He could do no
good there, for he doesn't know a
weed from a cotton stalk. He is
spoken of as serving a life sentence.
Life sentence indeed! | agree with
you when you say he will be off and
away before the people even sus-
pect it.
Stations infamy is without paral-
lei. and it's blight is here for many
year.
The hand of resurrection will
never be put upon him.
The blood of the Lamb cannot
wipe out his sin.
The blood of the guilty is not on
his hands-Mary Phagan's is.
Lady Macbeth cried in vain,
"Out, out, damned spot"
AS usual, the rich have triumphed
over the poor, the strong over the
weak, those who neither toll nor
spin, over the working people.
The Governors ears were acutely
attuned to the voice of wealth, i'm
portance and influence: they could
not hear the lamentations and griefs,
the protests, the wrongs of the OPP
pressed and lowly.
Mary Phagan's poverty her not
being of the fashionable world, her
not belonging to the Governors set
"a set into which he broke by his
unparalleled merits as a snob-and
a few other things I might mention,
and which you can easily unde1t
stand, saved Frank from hanging.
Mary Phagan, unspotted child of
nature, has taught us how to live;
she has taught us how to die.
May the Infinite Father avenge
her wrongs. 81 will repay" saith
the Lord of Hosts.
God help the poor; the rich take
care of themselves.
With kind regards,
Yours very truly,
Ga. TINSLEY w. FUCKER.

ROW HEADER NEEDED.
For Harvesting All Forms of
of Grain Sorghums.

The greatest dry forage crop in Colo.
Soil Products show in Denver is milo
maize. The crop is often harvested with
. corn.binder and cured in the shock and
q great many Of these machines have been
purchased this season. In ordinary milo
the recurved stems and pendant heads
make the bundles SO large at the top that
the shocks made from them are not firm,
but are easily blown over by the wind and
wet by rain.
The improved strains with heads most
" erect, do not have these objections.
When milo is bound with the corn or
srain binder, the heads may be cut from
the bundles with broadax or heavy
able type of row header is very much
knife hung at the tip. The crop may also
be threshed without threshine.
Heading the crop in the field is natural.
ly the most desirable method of harvest
ing, for it saves handling the stover and
makes threshins easier and more rapid.
Hand slashine in the field is however too
slow and tedious for large stands. Ordi.
narp milo, with pendent heads, cannot be
successfully harvested with any kind of a
header. The improved varieties are
adapted to harvesting with the row header,
the grain header or with binder. A suit.
needed for harvesting all kinds of Grain

Lecture on Palestine,

Rev. Joseph Wells, superintendent
of the Western District Of the Amer

o fine lecture at the Baptist church
Sunday night on "a Trip to Pales-
tine" Mr.. Wells, who has travelled
in Palestine, told his audience many
wonderful things concerning the
holy land; of his trips to and from
this country and of his visits to Sun
day school missions during these
trips. His talk was interesting and
instructive and we'll worth going out
in the rainstorm to hear. The audi
ence was a good one, considering the
inclement weather.
Rev. Wells occupied the Methodist
pulpit in the morning and delivered
an interesting talk in relation to the
work of his society. He also spoke
briefly at the opening session of the
Congregational Sunday school.

FORT DODGE PE0-
PIE TO PUSH CLAIMS
Case in Which E. H. Martin is In
terested to be Tried in
..
This City.

Fort Dodge Messenger: In a case
of Mrs. E. M. Hollaway against the
International Telephone Meter Com
pany, Mrs. Holloway and several
other Fort Dodge people have COM
bined their claims in a suit to recov-
er money said to be paid for stock
subscriptions in the company that
negotiated to locate a factory here.
The claims total about $1,000. The
case probably will be up for trial at
Webster City next month. E. H.
Martin of Webster City held several
conferences with Commercial Club
officials in 1913 with view of get
ting proposition to settle here.
Mr.. Martin patented meter that
would measure the time consumed
by patrons Of telephone companys in
using the telephone. It had a watch
built in the receiver and so adjusted
that button had to be pushed be-
fore anything could be heard.
Mr.. Martin asked the Commercial
Club for a tract of some forty acres
of land near this city on which he
wanted to build a factory to manu-
facture his meter. Nothing came of
the negotiations, however, and little
has been heard locally concerning
the company since that time.

the majority of our people have ap-
preciated his services and wish him
success. The mayor saw fit to
change superintendents and voted
for the mayor, knowing that it was
his business to make an appointment
for this office. So did every voter
and I protest against the steps that
are being taken to belittle our may
or, or any of his appointments. This
does not necessarily mean that there
are no better men, but it does mean
that these men have yet an oppor-
tunity and if they will they can sur
prise even the council. I am not
finding any fault with Mr.. Mikel
either. I am told the purpose of the
majority of the council is to place
him at the head of the electric plant.
I do not claim that he has not
the ability to handle it, but I claim
the council has not the ability
to handle it. The present council
has some knowledge of electricity,
but what will we do when we get
council composed of such men as my
self who, when I see wire I fear it
Is alive and if I touch it I will be
killed. 1 simply say it is folly and
hope the voters will not allow any
such thing to come to pass. I feel
hat the thing to do in the near fut-
Ire is to arrange for the election of
and other city ofic-
srs at the polls. This will remove
zone of contention. I also beg to
ay here that mayor and council
must recognize their respective
places and work together. Let the
,ast be past. Recognize the mayor
md his appointments which he had
perfect right to make and which
do not believe any one disputes.

Col. Hyatt Attends Meeting of Ad'

Hereafter.

An order of the Adjutant Gener-
al of the I. N. G.. goes into effect
today changing the four regi-
ments heretofore in this state into
three regiments. The adjutant gen.
erals order has been agreed to by
the state advisory board at meet
ing just held in Cedar Rapids and
which meeting Col. Hyatt of this
city attended. This has no practical
bearing upon the number Of men,
bers of the guard in Iowa, this re-
naming the same. Instead of the
former four regiments there will now
be three, to be known as the first,
second and third regiments. Col.
Ilyatt's will be the second regiment
and the local militia company will
belong to this regiment. In the new
arrangement, Col. Hyatt loses Cher
okee and gains Eagle Grove and
Charles City. The companies now
in Col. Hyatt's regiment will here
after be Fort Dodge, two companies;
Mason City, two companies; Sioux
City, two companies; Webster City,
IA ars, Ida Grove, Eagle Grove,
Sheldon, Charles City, Boone.
The first regiment embraces the
territory in the eastern part of
Iowa; the second, Col. Hyatt's regi-
