there is an American sympathy tnat
makes for a conclusion that the TOOL
ishness and shame Of women are pest
concealed when 1t may be done without
concealment becoming a crime.
II a number of wealthy victims have
suffered from being led into traps
baited with pretty women there Is no
more reason for concealment OF their
names than for suppression of the
names of the mikes who were feeced
by the Maybrays. They went out to
shear and came back shorn. They were
not trapped into breaking the Mann
law but trapped after they had broken
it. If they had not been mistaken IN
their companions they would still be
breaking the law. So far as the moral
aspect of the case is concerned they
are as guilty as their companions. The
difference is that one vas blackmailed
and the other a blackmialer. The
hlackmailers should be sent to the peni-
"haPS - "S@i'hs NNs
should spend a few months within the
prison walls. At any rate there Is no
occasion to suppress their names and
positions. On the contrary full pub
iiclty while 1t might not correct the
morals Of wealthy victims might in
spire a fear which would work to q
limitation of their vices.
Certainly. send the blackmaiIers
down. Incidentally let the wealthy
victim" who imagined he was out vic
timizinS instead of being victimized, sit
for his picture.

and a half miles distant from some
point on the SYSTEM Improving the
system, therefore, would connect a ma
jority of the Farms ofzthe county with
every market in the county, or in the
state. so far as that is concerned. 1t
would not be a difficult matter to build
township roads connecting with the
county roads system SO that all farms
would be connected with all markets.
These things done, the road problem
would be finished and all farms would
be connected with markets. schools,
churches. and all the various enter
prises in which farmers are interested.

writer hopes a proper road law may be

country that the money to pay for

A September Sunset.


Natures charms are w~ondrous rare
These September days;
Bushes bold. vet soft and fair,
Set her cheeks ablaze.
All along the country lane,
Woodland stream and field.
Autumn sings a glad refrain
For the joys revealed.
Far-the distant dull gray hill
Mingles with the blue.
There the tiny ripping rill
Threads its wandering thru.
Near-the wealths of golden yield
View the setting sun
Toilers in the harvest field
Rest, the day Is done.
Oak leaves tumble, trees half nude,
Sumac beckons, bold;
Fields of daisies saffron hued:
Pink and marigold;
Towering NAPLES brush the sky
Ger a cottage, quaint.
Pictures which the artists try.
Nainly try to paint.
fonder is the wooded ridge
There, the old stone mill,
Here. the moss-grown, rustic bridge
Where the brook seems still.
Twilight shadows softly fall.
Light Of day grows dim
For the wonder of 1t all,
Thanks, more thanks to Him.

they cannot gossip worth a cent and

discourse they would lend. and cheer

Topics of the Times

September smiles a little ~frostily but
most pleasantly nevertheless and
brown October waves her hands from
just across the line. There is no climate
in all the world like an Iowa fall.

The Journal risks its reputation for
political! sense and fairness on the
statement that had the nomination OF
Cowles been confirmed there would
not now be more than a trace Of or
ganiZed republican opposition to the
election of Harding.-Sioux City Jour
nal.
In other words does the Journal risk
its repute by inferential assertion that
Methodists from bishops down to jan
itors are opposing Harding because
CowIes is not on the board; that other
churches are against him for the same
reason; hat republican newspapers OF
as good repute as itself are opposing
him and still others Of similar repute
are silent and ashamed Of the candi-
date; that the thousands Of republic
cans who are declaring their 1ntnetion 70
vote against him on his record in the
legislature are lying and that their i'm
pelling motive is resentment because
Cowles nomination was not confirmed?
II so, the Journal is taking a risk tina.
the great editor who made most Of Its
reputation would never have consid-
cred taking.
n pnrparc that tho aFppnrad nprS
that the allies are using were made in
Peoria. But at that they never
crushed as many men or caused even
a minor part of the damage that Feo-

it is time somebody called Pierce. of
the Homestead. to account for his
charge of corruption against a Cor
rupt Des Moines gang" We thought
that he meant the Des Moines Register
out ne now says that it is former state
printers. Some of whom do not live in
Des Moines. who We're guilty Of corrupt
acts in making certain alleged illegal
overcharses and he says that the
Register n Leader and the Times
Republican ARE corrupt
when they support the Illegal acts
OF the state printers and their grating
methods That is a slippery charge
to make against the newspapers
in that it looks like a challenge when
in fact it is merely an assertion that
we will be when we do and for the
sake Of additional safety he qualities
what he means by corrupt" by adding
that such newspapers are corrupt
because by these methods state print
ers have mulcted the state out of
thousands of dollars" indicating
technically that he has not charged
the newspapers with profiting from
the graft.
The dictionary defines corrupt" as
being dishonest involving bribery. II
Pierce will say that the Times-Repub-
lican has been corrupt he win get a
libel suit awful quick.
BY insinuation he has said it but his
language contains carefully worded
technical exits for his lawyer in de-
Tense. He says thai we are corrupt
when We support illegal acts and
grating methods which makes it
necessary for us to admit that we have
supported Illegal acts and grating
methods in order to make his charge
against us ~actionable. II he will simply
say hat We have been corrupt We will
hake him prove It or climb a tree.
The special committee Of the IegiS-
lature which investigated Pierce's
charges IS to state printing seems to
have failed to see enough in them to
justify action on the part Of the state
to punish anybody for graft or for re-
covery OF Illegal charges as alleged. IF
there has been graft and corruption on
the part Of state printers they ought
to be prosecuted. So long as they sit
still under his charge they place them
selves under suspicion. The whole ques-
ton seems to be as to whether the state
printers were guilty OF corrupt acts
Pierce now say that they were and
the Times-Republican hopes that they
will make him prove it. If Pierce will
say that the Times Republican has
been corrupt, not that it will be or is
when" he will have 70 prove it in
court.
In a reprint from the Iowa Home
stead he says: III the Times -Repub-
lican will tell US how to make our
charges more specific and clear so that
we may be called we will gladly do
So
Just say that the Times-Repub-
lican has been corrupt or is now a cor
rupt newspaper. We will call you.

GEORGE KNEW HARDING.
CAmAc Trihune1

1AhSS
W. P. George said at the taxpayers
league meeting at Nevada last Satur-
day:
II sat within two seats OF Mr.. Hard
ing for 100 days in the house. He did
not have the interest OF his people at
heart. He vas simply playing politics.
II Mr.. Harding alleges he did not vote
on prohibitory questions because OF
the people he represented, why did his
colleague vote dry every time when
he represented the same district"
Mr.. Harding said at Story City:
Il voted as / did on the prohibitory
question because ot che people ] rep
resented. It was not my personal
thought on voting but I voiced the
sentiment Of the people who had elect
ed me-"
It has been repeatedly charged that
Nh. Harding has played a two-faced
game of politics turnout the present
campaign, but this is the first time we
have heard a public speaker give Nj.
Harding the direct call. The word Of
Mr.. George that Mr.. Harding is play
ing the game" will be taken by the
people Of Story county for what It is
"btt y HScist SUchnS ds d hIlON =
ing man. He was a member Of the
legislature for one term. and az he
says "sat beside Mr.. Harding" for 100
days. Surely in that length OF time
and with the ability OF Mr.. George as
a thinker and listener he would have
found just what Mr.. Harding was try
ing to stand for.
Mr.. George made the statement In
a public meeting. he was sure OF what
he said or he would not have given
the utterance. It indicates that Mr..
Harding is still playing the game"
A COUNTRY PAPER ON ROADS.
Harlan Republican,
w. L. Harding, republican candidate
for governor, asserts that Iowa's road
problem Is wholly a matter Of con-
Meeting the farm with the market. II
may be conceded that the principal
use to which the roads of Iowa are
adapted is that Of connecting the farm
with the market even as the railroads
are used principally as carriers 81
freight. But the farm roads have 9TH
er and varied uses for which they are
especially necessary. They are prime
necessities in the educational. religious
social and moral life OF the farm, even
as they are in It's economic life. The
writer holds that the county road sys-
tenn, already established by law II
Iowa. affords a foundation for good
roads that will ultimately meet all the
needs OF the farmer. Shelby county
has acres sufficient to form 2,304 quar-
| ter section farms. or these 1886 farm
lie within one mile of the county road

THE POOR MANS COLLEGE.
CPnrIir0fpn IIou-E..ya


Dubuque reports that the enrolment
at the high school at the beginning of
the new school year. is the biggest In
the history OF the school. That would
seem to indicate that Dubuque Is
growing and that the fine school Is
growing in usefulness and popularity.
in the early days. there were no high
schools. And there was no little oppo-
sition when high schools were estab-
lished. The argument, at that time
was that they would be for the benefit
of the rich. who had heretofore been
sending their children to institutions
where they had to pay tuition and per-
haps board. And in those days most
OF the children of the poor went to
work when they had completed the
course Of the grammar school. Some
did not even get that. But the work
ing men have long since come to d
different opinion OF the high school.
They appreciate it. and 1t has become
the poor mans college. II requires no
little skimping in some families. to get
children into and thru the high school.
But the number of families continues
to increase. who do manage to send
their children to high school-and
many do so because they realize that it
pays, and that situations open 10 the
lads and lassies who have passed thru
that institution. which would be closed
to them, but for that added education.
