SPEAKING OF JUDGE THEopHuus

Few people would be speaking of
Judge Theophilus if he were not
candidate for judge of the supreme
court OF Iowa, because the average
person in Iowa would not know of
Judge Theophilus except for his can
dldacy Judge Theophilus' state prom,-
nence rests on the eminence of the
judges, one Of who he and his A;p-
porters desire to replace with him
Judges Deemer and Evans.
The first and best reason why Judge
Theophilus should not be elected to
the supreme court is that he would
thus replace a better and bigger man
there. Both Deemer and Evans are
more than average judges Of supreme
courts. They are exceptional in their
capacity, learning and probity. Their
records as lawyers and as judges are
remarkable in Iowa. 1t would be the
veriest folly to supplant either OF them
with Judge Theophilus. And there are
ether sufficient reasons IL that were
not enough.
One Of those reasons Is that when
Judge Bollinger enforced the liquor
laws he was beaten in that wet dis
trict by Judge Theophilus. 1t Is mere
ly logical to seek the cause where it
is readily traced. Bollinger was dis
tasteful to the vets.
Another reason is that Judge Theo-
philus was partner of B. I. Salinger
in law practice and that Judge Salin-
ger, elevated to the supreme court ap-
pears to be extraordinarily anxious
to bring Theophilus to the bench. Just
why Judge salinger should deem 1t
necessary to supplant either Deemer or
Evans with Theophilus Is not clear
from standpoint Of the good Of the
supreme court and the public and the
attorneys who do business with the
supreme court. The campaign fol
Theophilus is urging voters to plump
for him. The methods Of political man
agement are typical. They all poin,
one way. And while the average votei
in Iowa may not be in possession OF
facts and circumstances the support
and the methods It uses are excellen,
reasons Of themselves why Judge
Theophilus, Of Davenport, should no
ranlaca either NJ the present Judges.
The voters should take notice Of the
supreme court contest. The heat of thu
Eubernatorial fight is not unlikely t
attract attention away from the ne

THE STREET BOY.


The boy who sells papers has a hard
life. His working hours are long, his
recreation hours nil, he stands or
walks or runs, in heat and cold, in dry
and wet. to gain few pennies, pos
sibly fifty per day, but more often less
All this is to help pay the bills for the
large family or to help a widowed
mother. He is an active, nervous
youngster, too busy some times to be
polite, too eager frequently to be
courteous, but usually his intentions
are good. Not always does he meet with
the kindness and consideration Of
which he is worthy He is sometimes
imposed upon and learns to practice
imposition He is cheated and he
learns TO cheat Usually he reflects in
his business activities the treatment he
receives from the community he
serves. Many street boys have be-
come distinguished men, not because
the streets made them, but because
they did not spoil them. Consider the
street boys, therefore not as lilies OF
the valley, but as men in the making.
and remember that a part of their
making is in your hands.

dosage New.


There were some who doubted the
truth Of the story we printed last week
in the News tating that Joe Sediacek
had sold the cabbage raised on thirty
acres Of ground for 1900. We know
of at least one man who did. He made
a trip to st. Ansgar the day after the
paper was out and found out that 1t
was not in the least exaggerated. He
also found that not half the story had
been told.
When you read this you will know
that Sedlacek is some truck gardener.
Between the 18th OF August and the
22d Of September he had loaded and
shipped sixty eight cars Of onions,
potatoes and cabbage. This was shown
by the checks which went thru one OF
the st. Ansgar banks. How many
there may have been that went thru
other banks we do not know. But one
would think this was plenty. The
checks would average about $500 per
car. making $4,000 worth OF these
vegetables Sedlacek had shipped out
In about three weeks and he was
still busy shipping more.
But then Sedlacek Is prepared TO
do business on a large scale. He has
about thirty men at the present time
and is equipped to feed and board
them on the place. having tents for
that purpose. He owns considerable
land and rents more. There are per-
haps one or two other firms In that
part OF the county who are engaged in
the business Of truck farming on as
extensive a scala az SedIacek and thig
year It Is proving an exceptionally re-
munerative business-and there are
few years when 1t Is not.

remember how our northern sister
state gave a big majority for the
democratic Johnson for governor and
still rolled up something like sixty
thousand plurality for the republican
national ticket? No Iowa voter, be he
democrat or republican. should permit
his action on state matters to be in

A SENSIBLE SCHOOL BOARD.
(Rockford Register1

The matter of dress in the public
schools has come to crisis in Albert
Lea. The girls Of the Weather fami-
lies have been dressing way beyond
the reach of those of poorer families,
and OF course it made serious trouble.
SO that now the school board has step
ped In and dec iced that they shall all
dress plainly. All silks. velvets and
costly dresses are to be barred from the
school functions. The board has GER
tainly made move in the right direc-
ton and more boards will have 20 take
a hand IN the matter. Customs are
growing up in Iowa as well as in Min
nesota, which not only make going to
school far more expensive than 1t ought
to be. but which really detract from
the interest Of education, and the school
boards are the only ones who can reg
ulate the matter.-St. Ansgar Enter
prise.
Publicity matter along the above line
Ia badly needed, for there is hardly
town in the country where the condi-
lions above referred to do not exist to
a greater or less extent. The directors
Of Albert Lea are to be most warm
good horse sense, for the abuse that
they have aimed to do away with is
fundamentally pernicious because it
strikes at the very foundation Of our.
American life and government-the
world famed democracy of the Ameri-
can public school syste2i. The cStrav-
agance OF dress that Is being INDUCED
in by thousands upon thousands of
American school girls not only tends to
make snobs Of them but puts the most
compelling temptation possible in the
way of the daughters Of families that
cannot afford to keep the pace which
the former set.

Reported to Be Awaiting
Chance For Newport Dash

New York, March 8. = A report
that German commerce raider. or
prize was lurking off Cape Henry, Va,
awaiting favorable chance to make
a dash for Newport News or Norfolk
was brought here to-day by Captain
Munkewitz of the Bull Insular Liner
Grayson.
Captain Munkcwitz said that early
yesterday the second officer reported a
mysterious light to the east which he
could not make out. The light was
moving eastward and Captain Munke-
WITT altered the course of his ship
when second light appeared close to
the port side and apparently moving
westward. Both lights disappeared
as suddenly as they had appeared
On January 23 Captain Munkewitz
said, when he was practically in the
same position, several white lights
were observed to the east. These light
merely flashed into view and then
vanished and were succeeded by q
green light from a vessel which cross
ed the bows of the Grayson, exchang-
ing signals with the shore east in the
Morse code. 1t was a few DAYS after
this that the Appam took refuge in
Hampton Roads.
Captain Munkewitz said heavy
weather and clouds prevailed off the
Virginia coast and that he was salts
fed the vessels whose lights he had
seen were trying to keep their move
ments secret He felt sure that the
lights did not belong to British crus-
ers as these patrol ships make no Sc
cret of their movements.
