TO STAY POPULAR.


He is undoubtedly popular man.
That fact was developed in the last
election. But there are few things so
f1eeting and uncertain as popularity. A
popular man has to keep very busy. II
he desires to remain popular.
What the people Of the state OF
Iowa are looking for Is action. They
will not be satisfied if the attorney
general reports that he can not dis
cover that any one has been doing
wrong. or if wrong has been done that
it is impossible to punish the guilty un-
der the existing Iowa laws. Mr.. Hard
ing's friends would hear such report
with genuine regret. 1t would be the
report of politicians who had tried
to get a bit Of applause, bit of pop
ularity, by promising something that
they were not able to fulfill. If there
is no way Of getting at the malefac-
tors. then the governor and the attor-
ney general ought to find or to make
a way. The people, now OF all times
want men who do things. They have
heard talk until they are weary OF
mere words.

IOWA PUSHING GROUNDS.


The report of the Iowa fish and game
department shows that 72,2o0.Ooo pike
fry have been deposited in the streams
and lakes Of Iowa during the present
season. That ought to help some. Al
ways provided, that the young tsh
thrive and have half chance and are
not again pulled out Of the water be-
fore they have. begun to make their
growth. Under all the new systems
and the care and attention that Is be-
slowed upon the propagation and dis
tribution Of fish. there ought to be UNI
numbered fish in every creek and river
and lake in the state. That this II not
the case, seems to be taken as an indl-
cation that the new eystem has not
been perfected as yet. Otherwise there
would be more fish now. there would
be fish for everybody in the state.
When Iowa was the red mans land,
the waters fairly teemed with fish.
The red man took only what he need
ed and never killed for sport. And he
did not poison the water that was to
give him a supply Of food.

CHEEKY GIRL REPAID
Former Story County Miss Wins $1,000
Thru Courtesy and Kindness to
Stranser-Anna Lein Remembered il,
viii Of Ferryman. P~f q

Special to Times-Republican.
Nevada, March 9.-The story of how
former Story county girl, thru mere
courtesy and kindness became the BEN
efciary Of the will Of a perfect strang-
er and benefited $4,000 by the same, is
being told here.
Miss Anna Lem was for some time a
telephone operator at Slater. Later
she and her mother went to Portland
where she took business course and
was working as stenographer. Each
day as she went to and from her work
she crossed on a ferry conducted by
Charles Clark, a man past 80 years OF
age.
She invariably spoke pleasantly to
the old man and one day he remarked
that when he died he would remember
her in his will. She took the matter as
joke but few days ago when he
died, she was notified that he had be-
queathed her $4,000.
Miss LENS CHEEKY smile and bright
word of greeting each morning had
won her a place in the heart Of the
aged man and he had done just as he
had promised her

CITY MANAGER RESIGNS.
n. G. VolImer Tenders Resignation to
Webster City Council.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, March 9.-H. G. voll-
mer, who has held the position of city
manager here for year, has resigned,
and plans to leave here April l. Man
ager Vollmer's resignation came as
bolt of lightning out Of clear sky to
the members of the council. His formal
resignation cites no reason for his
action.
It is understood here, however, that
Mr.. Vollmer has had several offers Of
better position and his friends make
no secret of the fact that the resig-
nation was largely caused by the in
sistence of the council in curbing the
managers authority. At no time since
Mr.. Vollmer came here has he been
given the full management Of the city's
affairs His friends claim he has been
so hampered as to interfere seriously
with plans he has had in mind and
that his resignation is the elimination
Of dissatisfa ction with the attitude the
council has assumed toward him.
Webster City is operating under the
manager plan Of government and the
resignation of Manager Vollmer neces-
states the hiring Of new man to
take his place. A new council will be
elected. March 2S, and it is likely that
no one will be hired until after this
election.

Ban Against Dancing on 0rInheu SoI
Iege Campus 10 Lifted.
Grinnell, March 9.--The old Grinnell
tradition which in the past has pre-
vented the students from holding col
lege dances on the campus has been
removed by faculty action and hence
forth six college dances will be allowed
during the year. They will be held at
the opening and closing Of the various
periods between vacations.
The action comes as a result of agi-
tation which has been carried on for
two years. The students desired to
hold their dances in one Of the gym
nasiums. The majority OF the faculty
opposed the change. Alumni Joined in
the controversy, many taking the
view against holding dances on the
campus.
was held in the gymnasium last COM
mencement with satisfactory results.
Consequently the opposition Of faculty
members to the students viewpoint
was considerably weakened. With the
approval of the change by the dean OF
women this year the action of the
faculty in allowing these social events
on the campus finally resulted.
The first dance under the new pro-
visions will be held on Wednesday.
March 81. A student committee work.
ing in cooperation with the dean of
women will have charge Of the affair
and attendance will be limited to
faculty, students and guests.

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque, March George Hughes
who is to pilot the Dubuque team OF
the Central association during the
coming baseball season, arrived in the
city yesterday from Marshalitown
where on Wednesday he attended the
league meeting. He got to work i'm
medately with the third degree fans
and arranged for meeting later 10 go
into details about arranging the fl
nances so there will be no hitch IN the
middle of the season.
Hughes is well known in Dubuque,
having been member of the Dubuque
Three-I team in 1905. Since then he
has played in Dubuque repeatedly as a
member Of some other team Of the
Three-I league, to which Dubuque was
attached until 1915. Then, too, he mar
ried Dubuque lady, so Dubuque is
something like homefto him. tho he has
not been attached to baseball team
here for almost twelve years.
Hughes and Mr.. Maynard, who will
be at the head Of the club, are very en-
,thusiastic over the outlook. They be-
lieve with the compact circuit of the
league there will, be little trouble as to
expenses for travelling and that rivalry
will be keener Hughes asserts there
is nothing to Tearney's claim to Du-
buque as Three-I territory, even for
the reason that he claims to hold It
lien for a debt owed the league when
the team was surrendered 10 the
Three-I in 1915.

Des Moines, March 9-The greatest
battle Of the present session Of the leg
islature was precipitated in the house
OF representatives today when the Pitt
Johnston bill, set for special order for
10 o'clock this morning, came up for
consideration. On account Of the de-
bate on the measure it is doubtful if a
vote can be had until q late hour.
The Elwood amendment to the bill,
sustaining the state highway commits
sion, and the bill favored by the
friends Of the highway commission as
against the Pitt-Johnston bill, which
would do away with the commission,
came before the house first as its
trainers intended It should when they
introduced it as an amendment. Sew
eral Of the most able floor leaders III
the house, including Representative
Weaver of Polk county, Representative
Lee Elwood Of Howard county, and
others have been for weeks getting
ready for todays debate on the road
fight.
At the latest count the Pitt leaders
were claiming flfty-six votes for the
bill and the Elwood-Mackie crowd
fifty-flve. II all of the representatives
are present it will take f1fty-f1ve votes
at least to carry the Pitt-Johnston
measure e
Last Minute Efforts.
The significant development If the
last hours preceding the time when the
bill was to come up before the house
for vote was the strenuous effort put
forth by the Pitt-Johnston crowd to
line up the votes for their measure.
Realizing that they needed every one
they could possibly get they used all of
the influence of the administration and
Of the organization Of Speaker Pitt in
the house and such other strength as
could be Communicated at the last
moment to rally votes for the bill.
1t is a we'll known fact that Governor
Harding was anxious to stay out OF
this road fight In the legislature as
much as possible, Notwithstanding the
fact that he discussed roads at some
length in the fall campaign. But the
need Of the Pitt forces for support was
so urgent that the governors strength
was enlisted to get back Of the bill. He
is said to have called Representatives
Flenniken. Larson, Miles and Mooty
into his office and urged them to get
back Of the bill Not all Of these rep
resentatives, however. consented to do
so.
On the senate side the; Johnston road
bill is known to have lost strength
steadily since early in the session when
it was first framed. Some time age it
was credited with having twenty votes
in the senate but it is known that some
Of its supporters have changed. Even
the Pitt-Johnston crowd realizes that
there is no chance for the bill to pass
the senate. ~
