Of the ''cacking' Of the ministers who

Why is it that ministers whose

whose talents are admitted are charged
with "cackling' the minute they raise
their voices as citizens? There is no
honest occasion to insult the clergy OF
Iowa because they and their people
assert their independence on a moral

LORD BACON.


Francis Bacon was all English au-
thor whose principal by-product was
the works of William Shakespeare. For
good many Years everybody supposed
that William was able TO do his own
writing, and as result thousands OF
homes are adorned by a low-spirited
bust Of Shakespeare and his we'll
known goatee, standing erect on the
manteI, and also by nine-foot set OF
his works which will not be fully paid
up until August, 1919.
1t was a great shock to the world
at large when il was discovered in Chi
cago that Shakespeare was written by
somebody else. The blame was finally
placed upon Lord Bacon, who was not
aware of it at the time and is now
too much deceased to collect, any back
royalties. This teaches us that we
should sign our names to everything
we write, including the anonymous
letter.
Lord Bacon was the son of another
English Lord who was not able tc
sidestepc the title. He was one Of the
smartest boys England ever produced
and at fifteen years Of age knew more
about law and the proper size Of a re-
tanning fee than many of his elders
He was alos very, successsfc! and in
dustrious office holder. starting with
custodian of the royal livery barn and
winding up with first equerry Of the
star and garter. He was created a
knight by being tapped on the head
with tin sword, and wore a pair OF
short plush pants wherever he went
Owing to the semi-circular formation
Of his legs he was not much OF sue
cess in the plush pants line.
After a long and checkered career
during which most Of his checks went
to protest, Lord Bacon was charged
with taking bribes and fined 100000

SALOONS AND TANES.

l.'iouA S'hs tpb'iN'J
a raise of mills in the tax rate is
the first result which Sioux City gets
from changing from the saloon to the
bootlegger system of handling the IL
quor traffic. II it could be shown that
moral conditions had been improved by
the change. the increased tax rate
would be good investment, but so far
this proof is lacking.-Sioux Falls
Argus-Leader.
The proposed raise of mills in the
Sioux City tax rate for 1916 (still only
an estimate) can not be charged to the
elimina ton of saloons. In Sioux City,
Sioux Falls and other cities the tax
rates are constantly increasing, either
by direct levies or higher property val
uations.
In handling the funds from these in
creased levies the ordinary average
usually is maintained as to meeting
legitimate problems of growth and
carrying out habits OF extravaganza.
Sioux City had licensed saloons in
1912, but the tax levy that year was in
creased SIS mills. The levy for 1911 was
s4.5 mills and for 1912 it was 40.3 mills
In 1913 a material drop was made in
the levy due to a general raise in val
uations, but the running expenses OF
the city were not reduced. The levy for
1913 was 3S mills. The city still had
licensed saloons in 1914 but the levy
was raised to 37.5 mills, an increase OF
4.5 mills over the previous year. In 1915
(saloons still in existence) the levy
was raised 90 mills.
Proponents of licensed saloons prob
a bly, will concede that the liquor deal
ars do not nay their license fees from
inheritances or outside Accommodations
that these fees constitute only
small portion Of the profits realized
from liquor sales.
When Sioux City had saloons, in 9TH
er words. it paid the license fees cred
tied to the saloons, paid large profits
to the dealers IL addition, and also paid
increased tax levles from time to time.
If the Sioux Fails newspaper Is sin
cere in the request for an estimate OF
| benefits in a saloonless city. the infor-
nation that may help is available in
every city and town which has elimin-
ated saloons.
It is true that illegal sales Of liquor
still occur in Sioux City. but the old
saloon atmosphere, the old saloon or
ganlZdtlOn ana a large pTopoItioh "a
the former saloon influence has been
banished.
Bootleggers may skulk thru alleys
and hand out liquid fire to irrational
appettes, but they can not provide
gilded settings, financial backing ana
| political protection to gamblers, thugs
and immoral elements of all kinds
as the saloons and breweries could do,
| and did do.
When the saloons were eliminated
| from Sioux City the savings accounts
| of laboring men commenced to grow
and have continued to grow; coilec .
lions and sales became better In all OF
! the regular business institutions. A
| small percentage Of the money that
| had been going to saloons was diverted
to bootleggers, undoubtedly, but the
greater part Of that money was d.
verted to the purchase of food. clothing
and other family comforts. and to wise
accommodations against the eventful
rainy dey.

Habits and economic status:
Horned larks frequent the open coun-

They associate in large focks, are

nest before snow disappears. The
flight is irregular and hesitating, but
in the breeding season the males
ascend high in air, singing as they go,

by the fact that oats grow wild over
much of the state. Weed seeds are
the largest single element Of food. The
insect food, about 20 per cent OF the
whole, includes such pests as May

leaf beetles, clover-leaf and clover
root weevils, the potato-stalk borer,
nut weevils, billbugs, and the chinch

and cutworms are freely eaten. The
horned larks, on the whole, may be
considered useful birds.
