IGNORE THE DEMAGOGUE

Every informed thinking man sees
net alone the threatened dangers of

by the propaganda of radicalism in
ed
The threatened danger is that the
uniformed, led by salfseeking, dis
honest demagogues, will be swept
of their feet by their specious ar
gument and, thus, the country will
be swept into Slcial chaos The
pres nt damage is that of what we
Iii social unrest"-strikes, de-
s.ruc.ion of property, loss of wages
a spirit OF law defiance, and, worst
of al, dis rust and ss-hatred. AnC

damage But what are we doing a.
bout it?
There can be but one answer tc
i the foregoing question. Informed

Some Railroad Eirsts,

The Erie railroad, the first great east
and west trunk line, is credited with
many of the ''first things" done by
railroads in this country 1t was the
first railroad in the world to dispatch
its trains by telegraph; ran the first
emigrant train over the rails. also the
first cattle train and the first milk
train; was the first railroad in the
world to use a bell cord The first ex-
cursion train in the United States was
run over the Erie from Goshen, N. Y.
to New York city. July 4, 1872 The
first experiment ever made with sleep
ing cars was made by the Erie. the

favorite method is to shave all the
head except two patches, one over eacf

Wheel Barometers.

What is known as the wheel barom-

celli's idea. This barometer was in
vented by Robert Hooke, probably the
greatest philosophical mechanic Of
his day 1t is intended to indicate the
weather without observing the mer-
curry itself. There is the usual tube,
but it is bent at the bottom into a
short leg. In this leg little glass
float rests upon the surface of the
mercury. A cord attached to the float
passes over the pulley. The pulley is
furnished with pointer that moves
around the dial, the moving agency be-
ing the rising or falling mercury,
which lifts or lowers the float.

Oskaloosa Times: Iowa took a
step backward Monday when she re-
fused to join her more progressive
states of the west in granting SUI
frage to women. But Iowa is still in
the ruts Forty years of standpatism
has put her nerves out of commits
sion. The thought OF granting equa!
rights 10 adj her adult citizens, was
too much for her, and by a small
majority the ants won out. Politics
makes strange bedfellows To see
the dlys of the central part of the
state Joining forces with the vets of
the river towns to defeat suffrage is
rather amusing. But that is just
what happened. The man who ar
gued that women should be kept
upon her sacred pedestal, and the
man who said tell with woman
suffrag e-here, show me how to
mark this ballot Joined forces and
the cause of woman's suffrage is
set back five years.
