mission a poor man.
Admirng shippers conscious OF a
vast debt to the man who had saved
them millions in freight taxes sought to
express their gratitude by the gift OF
an automobile presented to him in the
light of day, before all men open and
above board. Politically it was a mis-
take for the opposition seized upon the
gift to attack Thorne's integrity but
all men know that gifts which are de-
signed to corrupt the public service
are never made in the presence of the
multitude 1t is tribute to Thorne' s
character that these grateful shippers
were compelled to resort to a public
expression of their gratitude for far
too many men land in public office who
prefer these gratuities slipped to them

gress from the First district two years

GET ACTION on THE vILLIsCA CASE.

In connection with the ak murders
at Villisca and the man under arrest
as the long sought criminal are asser-
tons of arrests contemplated of more
or less prominent persons living in OF
near Villisca. AS the news writer's
put it gossip is that certain per-
sons or a person of prominence is to
be arrested.
If there are others to be arrested as
accomplices or proCurers of this MUIR
der the arrests should have been made
without gossip" The continued rep
etition of arrests to be made" throws
a suspicious light on the affair. Either
the officers have sufficient evidence
upon which to arrest or they have
not. In the one case the man sus-
pected should be i'll custody. In the
other the detectives and officers en-
ployed in the case should refrain from
furnishing food for gossip" to feed
upon.
The people Of the state are intensely
interested in this case, anxious to clear
up the mystery and punish the perpe-
traitors whoever and whatever they
may be- The demand is for less spec
ulation and gossip" in and out of the
newspaper reports and for action that
will reveal whether the sensation is
the revelation of a murder conspiracy
or detective scenario.

PICKING At THORNE.

Clifford Thorne was defeated for
congressional district but that is no
excuse for keeping up abuse of the
man He carried four out of seven
counties and would have been nomin-
ated were 1t not for the wet vote OF
the city Of Burlington which would
naturally oppose man like Thorne.
However several newspapers are re-
peating the charge that Thorne wrong
fully accepted an automobile as pres
ent from an organization Of shippers
which he had befriended in a rate case
before the interstate commerce COM
mission. The complaint is that he was
then acting in judicial capacity.
Any man familiar with the work of
recent sessions of the legislature knows
that statute was passed making it the
duty of the Iowa railroad commission
TO become the advocate Of the public
interest of the state before the ma
llOIdl I'LL AS duo Tic
whole commission of this state was
the advocate for Iowa shippers in those
rate cases and not the judicial tri-
bunal.
Thornes only mistake in accepting
the automobile was in the opening it
gave to the special interests to attack
him. He has fought and won many
g rate case involving millions upon
millions Of freight money. If the state
of Iowa should retire him now upon
pension for the remainder of his
days it would not pay to him but a
| small fraction of 1 per cent upon the
millions he has saved to the shippers
of this state. He has always refused
! to accept fees from shippers while

WHAT WOULD MEREDITH DOT

Discussion Of the Iowa democratic sit
Louis The wet element rather resent
Mr.. Meredith and his unqualified dec
laration for prohibition in owa as an
innovation looking dangerously Wash
ingtonward So, it is related, advisers
were plenty who counseled that Mere
dith's declara ton should suffice: that
the democratic state convention should
let it go at that and avoid specific
statement on the liquor question and
certain other points laid down by Mr.
Meredith as absolute provisos to his
acceptance Of the democratic nomina-
ton.
Now what will the democratic con-
vention do? The democrats Of the
state accepted him at his own figures
and made his nomination unanimous.
SO doing they accepted all that Mere
diti brought with him He put his
chips all on the table and was told
to take the pot.
What will Mr.. Meredith do If the
convention attempts to thimbleris
him? Will he quit it cold and leave it
to it's own devices and the companion
ship and control of the liquor interests
and reaction thus leaving the demo-
cratic tail go with the republican hide?
Meredith, a highly respectable candi-
date, made the democratic party re-
spectacle in Iowa and lined it on the
side of law and order and strict en-
forcement previous 10 the primary. Was
he bluffing or did ne mean it? The
state at large has accepted Meredith 8
stand as intended and determined. The
inference is that Meredith will have
his way in the convention as in the
conference and that the platform will
carry out the pledges Of the conference
or that it will be forced to find other
candidates for governor and attorney
general.
Nothing so rehabilitated the democ
racy of this state in the general good
opinion of the state as that Des
Moines conference. But it is being
freely predicted that the facile facility
of the democrats in laundering will
spill the beans baked at Des Moines
and spoil the cook Of the conference.
Nous verrons, as that fine old
Frenchman, Pat Murphy of the Vinton
Eagle, would say, nous verrons," we
shall see what we shall see.

DARING LEAP To SAVE A GIRL.
Man at Wheel Of Racing Car Jumps
Into Buggy and Stops Runaway.

Spectators were thrilled ,ne other
afternoon when Roy Cattley, 10 years
old, son of a wealthy coal operator OF
Carnegie, gave twentieth century
demonstration of daring by leaping
from the running board of speeding
racing car into runaway buggy, prob
ably saving the life of the girl huddled
unconscious In the swaying vehicle
Thomas Kane, 20 years old. of Walk
ers Mills. and Miss Ethel Morgan, 10
years old, of Carnegie had started out
driving, when the horse took fright and
ran away. Kane was flung from the
buggy when it struck q street car, suf-
fering fractures of five ribs. Cattley,
who saw the accident, jumped into the
automobile of a friend and started off.
After a chase of two miles the ma
chine was drawn up alongside the
buggy. Cattley, at the risk of his neck,
watched his chance, made flying leap
and landed in the buggy. He soon had
the horse stopped, and Miss Morgan
was revived in physicians office.
Kane was removed to a hispital.--The

What About Mexico?

1t is well that the administration has
put the quietus on the report that the
United States would agree to arbitrate
its differences with Mexico.
The United States has no differ
ences" with Mexico. ItN has a misun-
| derstanding with Carranza on account
of CarranZa's failure to cooperate In
the elimination Of Villa and his do
mand that the American troops shall
be withdrawn. But Carranza Is not
Mexico, nor is his phantom organiza-
ton the government of Mexico. 1t has
been recognized as the de facto gov
eminent, but it lis not in control Of the
country, much less de jure govern
men.t With the people of Mexico the
United States has no quarrel whatever.
The republican platform adopted in
Chicago this week, expresses deep SYM
pathy with the Mexican people.
If there was ever a thought on the
part of the admins tration that the
question of the withdrawal of American
troops might be submitted to arbitra
ton, it is fortunate that the idea was
dismissed
Arbitration Of this question would
be equivalent to arbitrating the right
Of the United States to maintain the
sanctity of it's soil and protect it's citi-
zens from murder.
No administration could hope to sur
wye popular execration if it should at
tempt to arbitrate such a question as
that.
The truth is that the people OF this
country are FESTIVE at the suspension
of pursuit of Villa. They expected the
United States army to move forward
as their agent in enforcing respect for
American territory and in Furnishing
the murderers Of American citizens.
Delay has been caused by CarranZa's
protest and the vacillation of the
United States government. No good
has been accomplished by the delay:
on the contrary, Mexican marauders
and murderers have been led to believe
that they could continue their outrages
with impunity; that Carranza would
protect them. They do not know that
the United States held up the Per-
shing expedition because it did not
want war with Mexico. They believe
the United States was intmdated by
Carranza.
Nothing will conduce more powerful
ly to a change of administration in No
Vember than a continuation of the va
cillating and faint hearted policy of the
present administration in dealing with
the perpetrators of the Columbus mas
sacre. The outraged flag hangs Imply
in Chihuahua, where American SOL
diers are standing idly in camp. vainly
awaiting orders to execute their duty.
Americans are leaving Mexico, having
received notice that their government
will not protect them. american
riots have occurred in Chihuahua City
and the consulate has been mobbed.
Along the border there is no safety for
Americans on American soil.
This is the situation existing on the
eve of nominations for the presidency
on platforms ringing with such decla-
rations as America first" American
lives must be protect ed" "Americanism
is the real ISSUE &C.

ference between words and deeds.

THE ELECTRIC FAN.

The electric fan is a weak imitation
of lake breeze which is designed to
cool the atmosphere in one spot. 1t
is powerful little object, and when
aimed carefully at the bald head of q
perspiring globe-trotter in g. tourist
sleeper can produce very satisfac-
tory substitute for the Rhode Island
influenza. Many a tourist has left
home with the valves Of his head
working in perfect harmony, only to
be set upon in his shirtsleeves by an
electric fan which played upon the
back Of his neck with so much sue
cess that his conversation the next
morning sounded as if he had swal-
lowed nutmeg CRATER
Prior to the advent of the electric
fan the only way to keep cool during
July and August was to sit in the
shade and think OF the stedithy ap-
proach of the interest on a promis-
sorry note. People who did not owe
the bank anything found it necessary
to use the palm-leaf fan, which stirred
up quite a breeze so long as the pro-
prietor of the fan was able to swing it
without mourning paralysis of the ell
bow joint. The palm leaf fan also
served a noble purpose in other re-
spects as it enabled many tired
hostess to yawn at full length with

bands who were dragged to church by

gagged in deep meditation and sleep

these fans are attached to meter

abolish all the recent road laws and
