How were they made so gentle? l ex.

due to the fact that l never gave them
meat to eat. They ate oatmeal mixed

Give meat to wolf and the wolf will

no one. Let men eat vegetables, and
they will be likewise gentle among them

But men eat meat and do not look
ferocious, people say. No, because we
have been trained to suppress and con.
ceal our feelings. Civilization enables US
to disguise our inner nature. In an ideal
civilization we should not need laws.
But mankind is so ferocious, so savage in
ito deeper nature that rigid laws had to
be made.
Without laws, meat-eating nations
would be as ruthless, az wild, as savage

Five-Foot Vein
Of Coal Discovered
Near Shenandoah

Shenandoah, Ia, Nov. 2.-(Special.)
"A five-foot vein OF coal was discoy-
cred on the Sid Hummel farm, now
owned by G. F. Bussard, three miles
west of the Wabash depot, while Al
bert Gustafson was boring well for
Mr.. Bussard. ga
The farm owner concluded to solve
the water question and bore into the
earth. He got more than he bargained
for, he says, as he found five-foot
vein of coal about $50 feet below the
surface, and also struck a vein of
water that filled his 300-foot well to a
point within eight feet of the top.
This discovery verified the predic-
tons that Dr. George L. Smith of
Shenandoah, geologist, made at re-
cent MONDAY luncheon of the Shen-
andoah Commercial association, when
the business men became so enthused
that a committee was appointed to
make Investigations. If workable
vein of coal that thick lies within
three miles of Shenandoah, and the
coal is of good quality, then Shenan-
doah has a future far more promising
than thought.

enemies within the party. Conse-

at Stromsburg.
is STRONG FOR KENNEDY

SNemsburg, Nov. 2-(Special.)
Surrounded by friends who knew him
in boyhood, c. Petrus Peterson, city
attorney of Lincoln, and former res
ident of Polk county, delivered AN
address to about 1000 people in the
opera house here tonight. He dis
cussed the national issues and then
emphasized the necessity OF the cleo
ton of John L. Kennedy for senator,
and Robert w. Devoe for attorney
general in order that the laws of the
nation and state might be strictly and
efficiently enforced. In discussing the
attitude Of President Wilson, Mr.. Pet
erson said in part:
There is little to be gained by
specializing on what might have been
if what was had not been, or what
: would now be if what is were not, the
fact remains that the American peo-
Pile are facing crisis in their history.
In order. to meet that crisis we must
have a man in the White House who
doesn't change his policies over night,
who is against preparedness and for
preparedness the same month, who
does away with the tariff commission
and creates tariff commission in the
same, administration, who regards a
problem postponed as problem set
tied, but man who can be right the
first time" ....
Mr.. Peterson declared: III Robert
w. Devoe, the republican ca didate
for attorney general, is elected, it will
not be necessary to select attorneys
with reference to their personal rela-
tionship with the attorney general,
and there will be no resurrection and
revival of dead bank charters, or 9TH

satisfaction of any political boss in
