Miss Summer.


Miss summer came skipping to town
today,
met her down town for awhile.
With cheeks like the roses that ripen
In May.
And lips that were lovely with smile,
She was dancing and skipping, so
hiithe and so true,
1t set me to dancing and skipping
were you?
We had waited So long. but she came
al the last,
With a lovely warm breath on her
wings:
And the winter has gone and the hliz-
yards have past
And the voice Of the sweet summer
sings.
She has come, she has followed the
way that We know
Thru IN" nei3s where the golden
bright bVttercups blow.

BOGUS ROAD ISSUE.

There is no evidence at hand that
Lieutenant Governor Harding is an ex .
pert in the matter OF building or plan
ming highways. He has no personal
record for such work. good or bad. In
spite of this fact, however. Mr.. Hard
ing is devoting his advertising in the
campaign for the governorship nomi-
nation, 20 garbled statements on road
buildings and road laws Ia Iowa.
All political authorities in Iowa
agree that Mr. Harding will have a
very large part OF the prohibition
vote. 1t is fair to assume that Mr..
Harding realizes this. and that he Is
not averse TO the condition, as he has
ma de no statement or pledge which
might be construed as offensive to the
liquor forces.
In an advertisement which he Is
running in a number Of weekly news
papers. Mr.. Harding makes only the
following reference to the saloon aues-

THE LINEUP.

Senator Arney, Of Marshall county,
has observed that in the past few
sessions Of the legislature the men OPP
posed to all temperance bills and ali bills
TO regulate vice were the same set OF
men who opposed woman suffrage.
lineup in the legislature will hold
good very largely outside Of il.
There are men who will vote TO re-
fuse women an equal right 10 vote
who are not themselves vicious. For
small reasons which are largely mat
tiers Of prejudice men of otherwise
it comes to the wet vote, to the rough
necks about town. to the libertines
who insist that all girls are inviting
the white SLAYER to pursue them, to
the coarse mouthed members of
society and to british husbands. those
men, too, will all vote against woman
suffrage. They always do.
The tightwad who fears that women
may use the ballot TO vote for public
improvements will find himself in
in company with undesirable citizens.
Even the man who honestly believes
that voting would do the women harm
while contributing no good to society
will have to apologize for the COM
pany he keeps for people whom he
would not invite to his home will be
found side by side with him opposing
woman suffrage.
The trouble with that kind OF a man
is that he is in rlst and does not
realize it. About all that appears so
dangerous In permitting women TO
vote can be summed UP in one fact
that it is new. Some men approach
new ideas slowly. They are the last
to put on straw hats in the spring and
the last to take them off in the fall.
