THE GUARD AND TINE GOVERNMENT.

The militia men who refused to take
the oath as federal soldiers have been
smarting under extremely sharp criti-
cism from many newspapers and the
tonguelashings of officers. The West
Branch cavalry, willing to go to the
, border bolted at muster into the fed
eral army; which was entirely within
their legal rights.
There has been altogether too severe
! criticism Of those men. Had war been
declared there isn't much doubt--in
fact nobody has any reasonably doubt
that cavalry troop would have taken
the oath and gone to the front as
1owans have done in the past AS is
was there was no war and no certain
vice. They had made no contract to be-
long TO the federal army. They had
their homes and their businesses and
hated to sever all connections. 1t is
extremely likely that Marshall county
farmers and business men would have
hesitated until they knew that actual
war was at hand; and it is entirely In
character with Iowans that had war
been an actually they would have
Iowans have always done. Let's be-
fair to the men.
AS things stands the government ana
its military esta blishment show up to
disadvantage against the guard. The
guard as Il whole responded nobly in
all the states In Iowa we have seen
cast off uniforms, guns unfit for service
and shoes that hired man would
throw in the hedge issued to National
Guardsmen who might be sent afe!d>
or into battle on short notice handi-
capped with obsolete guns and foot.
wear that would blister and incapaci-
tate men in a ten-mile march. The
men we have sent to Des Moines are
as good men as ever answered call
to arms and went as willingly as ever
volunteers answered. And the equip
ment furnished by the government and
the attitude Of regular army officers
have not compared favorably with the
personnel and spirit of the men.
Instead of seeking cause Of compla int
against our citizen soldiers let US in.

Establishment. We have the men, mil

in the world. They are not regulars
and will never be regulars but the vol
unteer American soldier has proved
himself the equal of any fighting man
on the face of the earth. He is ready
to be made ready and his service is
ready in national emergency, but he
waits for the actual emergency and
sensibly. But what of the government

IF YOU MUST STEAL.

dubuque Telegraph HERALD
II you must steal from a bank let 1t
be a state bank. Don't bother with
national banks. A few months ago
three Dubuque men recklessly handled
the funds Of Dubuque national bank.
They are now serving terms of five
years each in the federal penitentiary
at Fort Leavenworth. Kan. One of
these men had a wige and small child
rem. One Of these men it was conclu-
sively shown never prolted to the ex-
tent Of a single penny, though he had
being done in the bank.
But few weeks after these men had
been sent off to the federal prison
another Dubuque man was discovered
TO have taken liberties with the funds
of a state bank. He had dipped in to
the extent of many thousand dollars.
After several months of delay he, few
weeks ago, entered a plea of guilty and
was sentenced to term in the state
penitentary at Fort Madison, but he
was not taken to Fort Madison. He
has been held in the county Jail await
ing the arrival of parole which ar
rived Monday morning and ne is now
enjoying perfect liberty.
The lesson taught is, IF you must
steal from a bank In Iowa, let it be
state bank, don't monkey with
national institution"
If there is fault as illustrated by the
two cases, cited, above, 1t is not the
fault OF the banks, hut of the persons
administering the law.

THE PALM BEACH SUIT.


The Palm Beach suit is a substitute
for real clothes which men wear in
place Of a kimono. There are a great
many men who could wear a loose
flowing kimono with excellent effect,
owing to being constructed on the
solid architectural lines Of the stand
pipe, but there is only now and then
man who can climb into Palm
Beach suit and look as if he knew
whether he was going north or south.
The Palm Beach suit derived its
inspiration from one Of the S:ec.est
utilities ever draped upon the male
physique the linen pant. This
article, as worn until recent years,
was made out of discarded gunny
sack and was almost as porous as a
deep-sea sponge. When worn in con-
nection with a short seersucker coat
it gave to fat man an air Of dignity
which no other garment has ever been
able to initiate, but when strung
around a lean, cadaverous citizen IT
impaired to him a lugubrious and
crestfallen look. Nobody who wants
to be in style nowadays wears the
linen pant, and it has declined in
popularity faster than a patent medi-
cine which has quit advertising.
The Palm Beach suit came into be-
ing along with the discovery that
business men could take a months
vacation every summer without usher
ing In Gabriels toot. 1t is thin
form OF raiment, worn on the outside,
and is fastened firmly to the hips OF
the wearer by a belt The Palm Beach
suit would create more respect if 1t
were held up by susperders, thus pre-
venting that alarming list to to star
board which arouses so much conster-
nation at our summer resorts. 1t is a
proof OF mans stubborn nature that

A HOT WEATHER. SERAfONETTE

You can find wide range Of views
on the question of Sabbath Qbserv-
ance. In our opinion on this question
we are no more consistent than we
are on other questions, and with the
most of us consistency is a rare virtue.
Without attempting sermon on Sab
bath day observance, we must say
there is pronounced tendency to
break down all barriers that ought
to arrest the attention of well meaning
people, regardless OF their personal
opinions. For the past two weeks,
Des Moines newspapers have carried a

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

IF there are an ypecple in Waverly
who want the whisky and beer saloon
to resume business in this town they
are not outspoken on the subject" says
the Waverly Independent. "Closing the
saloon here has not interfered in the
least, with any business calculated for
the good of the community. In fact,
some lines of bzusness have greatly
improved since the saloons closed. For
instance, pure milk from the Willow
Lawn dairy herd Is sold at some Of the
lunch counters, and it is called for Of
tener than ever before. Or YOU can
get glass or a gallon of pure, ice
cold buttermilk almost any hour Of the
day. And we have never heard that
any of these drinks are getting any
body into serious trouble. No, thank
You, our wishes will not bring back the
whiskey and beer saloons"

,tion. When his wife announces that
her chief desire in life is to have him
become Mason, Perry grasps the op-
portunity it affords for staying out
several nights, explaining his numer-

statement that he is spending his ev-
enings at the Masonic lodge, under.
going the ordeals of initiation.
One night wiley delightfully."- an.
nounces that her father, the grand
master of the Masons, is coming to

thereby, eliminating in a situation
which is one of the funniest climaxes
ever conceived, furnish the humor 81
the farce, which is further heightened

has also deceived his family, is not
