At any rate, the program mas been
set forth, not by anyone engaged In
making charges against the wet ele-
ment Of this state, but by a man who
operated a hotel bar for twelve years.
F.! When it is stated that the liquor
question is settled, let us remember
these words by the Sioux City man:
The recent elections in Iowa show.
if they show anything, that the wet
and dry issue is the Invest dead issue
in the world"
When we are assured that some
one Is a friend of real temperance
let us listen to the statement Of Mr..
DOnohoe that his plan would do
more to promote real temperance than
anything we have ever had in this
country
When pointblark assurance is given
that the saloon is gone and will never
be brought back, let US remember that
the liquor program does not contem-
plate the return OF the saloon, but the
sale Of liquor in cafes and dining
rooms.
And as for the prospect of this
temperance program being realized.
are we quite sure the prominent men
in politics" have not correctly gagged
the outcome of period Of nonenforce-
ment of the present liquor laws?

NOW THAT SUMMERS HERE.

Those eXpatriates from Iowa, re-
calling summer in their old home

verse thus: 20. to be in Iowa now

a typical summer in Iowa and for
got it?
Iowa is the good right out of the
middle of the world Her climate is
the most satisfactory to her own
healthy people. 4 few hot days bring
discomfort but they make the corn. A
few cold days nip us with frost but we
love the variety of it. We grow
sturdy and self helpful under it. We
toll hard and play as hard. We are
able to. That is how we grow in
Iowa. We meet reasonable extremes
and learn the JOY of change 1t teaches
self reliance. makes for real happiness.
Men grow tall and strong in Iowa.
But summer in Iowa is a revelation.
The state is beautiful in green and
gold. beautiful as any champa ign
country under the sun and adds the
strength and dependence of utility to
its widespread beauty. Today the
corn is swinging its tassels in the
summer wind. the great golden seas
of grain are ripping and waving. the
stretches Of pasture land lie between
green and inviting. the woods are
whispering verdurous invitations with
promises Of shade and river reaches
the reapers are busy, the cattle stand
under the trees or knee deep in the
water. genre pictures Of content, the
sky is deep and blue and kind as any
that bends above Italy, a panorama of
fertility, beauty, homes and sweet con-
tent IS Iowa now that summers

CHECKING PROMOTERS.

The commercial club Of Fort Dodge
hopes to save the people of that city
considerable money. 1t Is proposed that
before outsiders are permitted to offer
stock for sale in Fort Dodge they will
have to get permit from the club. No
such permit is to be issued until the
proposition has been carefully investi
gated. The plan is an excellent one.
And yet. about so often people get the
idea there is enormous money to be
made in oil or in some kind Of mining
shares. and then instead Of strangers,
home folks will be organizing compa-
MES and putting stock upon the market
and it will be a difficult matter for the
club to decide in cases of that kind.
They may even investigate and find
everything all right. and say So And
then they may be helping to unload
something upon their own people that
is absolutely worthless. Most Iowa
towns have been thru the bond or stock
experience a number of times. In u
few years the fact that they have been
stuck for large sums is forgotten and
then some new proposition is sprung, or
an old one under a new name, and
many again dig up hard earned cash
savings and give them up cheerfully.

THE HOODLUM ELEMENT.

dubuque ll1lleS-JCuTHdiI .
One Of the nuisances Of daily life is
constituted by the knots Of fellows who.
If unchecked, gather on street corners
and at public resorts and make the
place disagreeable with loud and indie
cent talk. The most quiet and unob-
trusive fellow at daily work, after TAX
ing too much liquor, may become the
public rough houser of the trains and
street corners.
In many places this element acquires
$50 much power that self-respecting peo-
pie can hardly venture late at night on
trains or trolleys or walk the streets
after ordinary bed time. These fell
lows are apt to have friends on the
police force, who hesitate to shut them
up. Checking a rowdy sometimes makes
more of a disturbance than was Great
ed by his rough talk. and police Of
flcers dislike to make enemies among
this class. who may have pull with
politicians.
Trainmen and trolley employees do
not like to come to open break with
these fellows. They are quite capable
of a knock down and drag out, which
every peace loving man wishes to avoid.
One great trouble is that the offenSe
known as disturbance Of the peace is
too lightly regarded. The man who is
guilty Of loud and drunken talk is apt
to be let off with a trif1ing fine or none
at all. This leads him to think his acts
of rowdyism are of slight importance.
while no great harm may have been
done by them. it is he himself that is
the worst sufferer. He has made a dis
graceful scene that becomes known
among his friends, and must injure him
in the eyes of his neighborhood. No
one wants to employ a fellow who is

and voluptuous manner by people
who do not expect to go out into So
ciety for two weeks. When a talka-

plate of red onions ambles into Sc

dispense rapid-fire conversation on
the evening air, he creates almost as
profound sensation as the man in
full dress suit who has everything

The onion is recommended by all
first-class doctors as spring tonic
and nature intended that it should
be eaten sparinsly, owing to the
penetrating character OF its contents.
But on all sides of US we see tall,
raw boned men sitting down to
breakfast and destroying at one fell
blow the product of two acres OF
early garden. If people would treat
the onion as delicacy, like the
cream puff, instead of seeking to de-
molish the worlds output at one sit

the vegetable kingdom.
