Cigarmakers' Union, shows special
luminosity toward prohibition was the
subject of mystifed comment in TINS

THE JOKER IN THE BILL.
Manchester press

The Press doubts the wisdom of en-
actment into law of the bill introduced
into the house last week by Represen
tative Klaus. which, among other
things. provides that drivers of auto
mobiles must come to full stop and
obtain a clear view OF railroad tracks
before crossing, the penalty for failure
to do so being a fine OF 800 or i'm
prisonment or both With the purpose
Of the bill, which is designed to prevent
crossing accidents. we are fully In
sympathy, but the law would auto
matically shift the blame for accidents
from the shoulders of the railroad com
panies and render it practically impos
sible to recover damages lin any action
arising out Of accidents occurring at
crossings. We do not believe Repre-
sentative Klaus desires to place the
entire responsibility for accidents of
this character on the shoulders Of the
automobile driver. The remedy should
be sought in compelling the railroads in
cooperation with the boards of super
Visors, to so arrange the approaches to
grade crossings as to enable the driver
to secure clear vision of the track on
| either side without stopping his car
and walking on the track.

NJ USCAT1NE s EXPERIMENT
IMuScatjDe Journal

The Overwhelming vote cast in ia
vor of the municipal fuel yard propo-
sition here recently was likely even an
agreeable surprise to it's most ardent
advocates. The popularity of the prop
ostion was clearly attested to- by the
percentage Of the vote supporting the
bond issue. The next question which
arises Is that of its feasibility. Unfortu-
nately Muscatine has taken "a step in
the dark. An overwhelming majority Of
the voters have. declared themselves
willing that the city should make the
experiment. BY virtue of this vote the
sum Of $4,000 is to be invested in the
new municipal enterprise.
1t is unfortunate that so important
an innovation as this should have betn
SO closely associated with the present
municipal election that clear UNDER
standing Of the situation was denied
the voter. Despite the fact that the
council authorized special committee
to investigate and make report as to
the feasibility Of the project no such
report was ever made altho Alderman
Joe Miller, the father Of the project.
was chairman of that committee.
That the high cost of living was the
most pertinent factor in the election
there exists no doubt. The vote in favor
Of the fuel yard was an expression OF
protest against existing high prices.
Rumors Of excessive profits, hints OF
collusioE and charges of short weights
in the coal business which were circu-
lated by persons who sought to adj
vance their own interests in the cam
paign Influenced the vote in no small
measure. Prejudice and protest were
registered by the vote. The journal does
not believe that the retail coal dealers
of Muscatine or elsewhere have de-
manded unreasonable prices. The rail
situation, the excessively heavy use Of
coal. shortage OF labor at the mine
are conditions which entered into the
price initiation PanicBy prices were

IN ONE MANS Lifetime.

When the youth Of this day reads
OF the Mexican war he is reading his
tory to him ancient history, some
what closer than the war for indie
pendence and much nearer than the
Punic wars but ancient history at that.
Still man died at Traer the other
day who was a soldier in that war
and this man was but 50 years Of
age
When Iowa was admitted to the I'M
ion this man was carrying arms IN an
army of invasion. Suffer had not
picked up the nugget that kindled the
flame of the California gold excite
ment The telegraph was knocking at
the door. Railroads were beginning 10
push beyond the Appalachians and TO-
ward the prairies, feeling their way
with slim steel tentacles. Slavery was
an institution, so great and powerful
that il could order the war in which
this man carried a muSket. The great
cities Of the middle west and the north
west were still in the womb of time.
The Great American Desert spread
itself across the maps of the United
States where the splendid sovereignty
Of great states now exists. This and
much more when Alden Antrim
marched away from his pioneer home
in Indiana on his way to Mexico City
with the army OF invasion.
1t is hard to realize the marvel Of
progress marked by the periods be-
tween the birth OF this old man and the
day Of his death a. So But it con-
tains the real lesson OF history. Iowa
was the frontier then, the far flung
frontier where civilization met and
merged into savagery. And while one
man lived his time the marvel OF
change spread a great nation across a
wilderness as by an incarnation.
1t is worth while to check the stu
pendous changes against the time they
occupied And while doing so to at
tempt to foresee the wonders that lie
within the lifetime Of the child horn
yesterday to live SO years.

ed SOUP.

Canned soup is life preserver
which makes husbands Independent OF
their wives, to limited extent.
In the old days, when this country
was young and good farm Of 100
acres could be bought for $2.35, the
only kind Of soup in use was that
which was made at home out of dis
carded rib roast and two aged but ro-
bust onions. Once in while our
grandmothers would take handful Of
by merely boiling them until they fell
apart at every joint. 1t was found
that after the children had been fed
three or four quarts of bean soup they
would not clamor for cake and jelly.
but would sit down by the fire in a
thoughtful attitude and lose all inter
est in the subject Of food.
When soup in small tin cans came
on the market, thousands Of eligible
bachelors who had decided to marry
somebody in order to secure a good
cook changed their minds. Eternity
alone will reveal how many happy
marriages have been postponed by the
canned tomato soup which can be
bought at any grocery store and
served in ten minutes. When mans
wife leaves him to visit her mother
for few weeks it is no longer neces-
sary for him to board at So a day

not associate with at home without

in mind that the United States has APP
propriated every dollar of its revenue

war, and ten millions more than its
revenue, The treasury department
estimates that the revenue to be de-
rived from all sources of taxation for
the ensuing fiscal year will be $685.
100000, which is 100000, 900 more than
was ever raised before. The total
amount Of expenditures for the army
and navy, for Notifications and PEN
sions is placed at s943 100000, or ten
millions more than the anticipated to-
tai receipts. In view of these facts il
is pertinent to inquire-what d'you
