DEMANDS UNIFIED oERMskstY.'
Social Democratic Lsader peno1ncss
Attitude Of Minority Party.

=
Berlin, Jan. T., via London, Jan. s<.-s
CDelayed.l-Dr. Karl Wolfgang Heine,
social democratic member OF the reich
stag. writing in the International Cor
respondence, bitterly attacks the
minority of his party. which Is oppos-
ing the sanctioning of the proposed
new war credit. "a q. -.
Enemies, as Germany now stands,
powerful and Unified. refuse all sug-
gestions Of peace" DR.. Heine say.
Certainly would not be ready to grant
peace to q German empire weakened
by inner dissention. They would push
across our borders, kill hundreds OF
thousands Of our brothers and bring
all the miseries of an enemy invest
ment into our country. .e ,...
Those who destroyed party unity
to oppose the war credit do not really
want it refused. They enjoy the mega
tive vote because they are assured
that others will look out for the safety
Of the fatherland
Let me say it plainly once and for
all that such tactics show neither
courage nor love for truth"
Serves to ProIong War.
Under the heading "A Social Demo-
cratic Split" the Tages zeitung re-
produces a statement made by DR.. Kari
Peters. who said:
"They (the minority have actually
succeeded in opposing the war credit.
and in fact, just after their comrades
in the west had spoken up In opposi-
tion to weakly peace.
They strutted around proclaiming
they had shortened the war and they
had used the most certain method Of
prolonging 1t, for it is plain to every
one not entirely crazy. that their pro-
cedure was bound to awaken among
the enemies OF Germany the hope that
the empire eventually could be tired
OUT That this is a fight to the last
man should be apparent"

A COURTHOUSE VISION.

The growth and development of
Mahaska county are making more
room at the court house imperative.
And the outside walls which have
several times been painted will need
constant care to keep them in
shape. Working in cramped quar-
tiers and keeping up repairs are both
expensive.
Again the court house is too good
building to permit the suggestion
of a new one. The taxpayer would
not stand for anything of that kind
The Herald therefore would like to
make a suggestion. Why not make
an enlarged court house that would
include the county Jail and utilize the
space above the present Jail structure
for the additional Offices that are so
desirable
Then the entire building could be
veneered with brick,-Oskaloosa brick
of course,-and we would have prac-
tically new court house at compar-
atively small expense. ,r We doubt
not that if proper plans and estimates
wer drawn that the proposition would
carry by large vote.

is 1T WORTH THE COST?

is office holding worth the cost?
Under the present primary and cleo.
ton complications. even local candi.
dates are made to carry a burden out
of all proportion to the compensation
oCered-even to those who are sue
Cessful. To the defeated candidate,
the burden is a double one as he is
not only out the cost Of campaigning
but his time and effort as well, two
things that might earned him hood
money.
In the state campaign, E. T. Mere
dith, Democratic candidate for Govern
or, spent $36,357. w. l.. Harding, Re-
publican candidate, spent SOTO. some
of which was donated by friends. So
say the statements filed. In addition
to these amounts the Democratic state
committee spent $26,511 and the Re.
publican state committee $25,012. Mer-
edith did not spend much money be-
fore the primary, as he had no oppo-
sitiOn for the nomination, but Harding
who was in a four cornered fight, eX-
pected about $4,000. according to his
statement, filed after the primary. The
Office of governor pays $4,000 a year
and election is for only two years.

PROTECTION, NOT POLITICS.

At a meeting of Representatives of
State Agricultural Colleges, held in
Washington last week, one of the
speakers urged the Importance of put
ting as much labor as possible into
your products before selling them
for export. Instead Of selling the raw
materials for manufacture elsewhere.
he would have the manufacturing done
in this country. so that America wage
earners would he paid for the labor,
and, in turn. would become purchas.
ers Of farm products. The address
was made after election, at a non-po
litical meeting, ana the speaker new
er mentioned politics or tariff. but it
was mighty good protective tariff
speech, for we cannot have factories
here unless we prevent ruinous com.
petition from countries where sheap

vail.

JOKE ON THE BURGLAR.

Oskaloosa Times: This writer was
awakened about 1870 Wednesday
night, to discover an amateur burglar
within six feet of his bed. We inquired
what he wanted, but the fellow would.
MT stay to talk with us, and before
we could get out of bed was down the
back stairs and gone. We dor't like
to print this joke on the fellow, but
really man who doesn't know better
than to try to rob a newspaper man
ought to be "bawled out" The fellow
burned a half a block of matches,
which is all right, because we can
borrow matches. but aside from that
nothing was missing. We felt real
nervous until we had gone out in the
hall and looked through our oyercoat.
Our tobacco was safe and the two
eggs which we had hid in the cellar
turned up all right this morning. but
we can't help laughing at how cheap
hat fellow win feel II he finds out

WAR ON NoxIous ANIMALS.

DepredatiOns of predatory animals
accompanied by outbreaks of rabies
among them in parts of Oregon, Cali.
fornia, Nevada, Idaho, and Utah re,
suited in the shooting, trapping, and
poisoning of over 11.000 coyotes dur
ing the last fiscal year by hunters in
the employ of the Biological Survey
of the u. S. Department af Agricul.
ture.. Altogether over 5000 nOXious
animals including wolves. coyotes.
mountain lioNs, and bogcats were de-
stroyed. The seriousness of the out
breaks of rabies will be realized when
is is stated that 60 persons were trc
ed by State authorities during the
7ear on account of having been bite
by tither wild or domestic animals.
The loss of live stock has been very
heavy. At Winnemucca, Nevada, a
single rabid coyote caused the loss OF
81 steers.
During the past year over 100000
acres Of Government and public lands
have been covered with poisoned grain
for the determination of ground squir-
rels. Large areas of private agriculture
al land also have been cleared of these
pests through campaigns conducted
by the owners under the direction Of
representatives of the Biological Sur
yey. Operations have been continued
against prairie dogs, and
over half million acres have been
cleared of these destruc-
tive animals.
Experiments to determine econom-
ic methods OF controlling land crabs
We're conducted in the vicinity OF
Cocoanut Grove, Fla. These pests
were estimated to have destroyed so
per cent OF the tomato plants OF the
locality, as well as quantities Of other
garden truck. They also damage co.
ronut groves by their numerous bur-,
rows. II was found that the crabs could
