PIG PASTURING.
ITipton Conservatiye.l


Out at Lee Anderson's on the Ben
nett road novel sight is to be seen
in the shape of some good sized shoats
hitched up to stakes and eating grass
on the lawn. The son, who OWNS one
OF them, made the halter out OF four
straps. one going about the pigs neck,
another Just behind the front legs and
one along each shoulder to keep the
other in place. With "A rope or strap
attached to lead or tie with, the pig
soon became docile enough to stand
hitched. and may be seen nihbling
away at the grass as contentedly as
tho wholly unrestrained. The sis
tiers Of the inventive youngster. not
ing how well the scheme worked, had
harness made for their shoats and
now all are doing well without being
surrounded by hog tight fence TO keep
them from straying away.

THE MAYORS TIME.

That was timely word Of Emmett
NJ. Sharon's--and written as a lawyer
too. He sees no reason why the may
or of city as big M Davenport should
spend a considerable part of his timo
listening to the troubles Of the man on
Thirty-first street or on Telegraph
road. There are department heads
who should be vested with responsible
ity for matters pertaining to their de-
partments, and the mayor should not
have TO give his time or expend any
nervous energy on complaints about
minor matters. Nor should he be ex-
pected to keep open house for every
one who has something to sell 20 the
city.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

I'VE reasse-t that the best thing
Iowa could do wauld be to subsidize,
assist or maintain young soldiers in
the direction of higher education" says
the Des Moines Capital. We do not
urge this as reward for military ser
vice We urge it as something for the
good of the state. Iowa furnished
100000 men f3r the army and navy.
If ten thousand of these were given a
college education, the state would be
repaid by improved and bettered citi-
zenship. The United States govern
ment is educating our soldiers in
France at improvised universities and
we could we'll afford to do something
in the same direction here at home"
The thoroly prepared man is usu-
ally the confident man and the con-
dent man is usually the lucky man."
says the Des Names Register.
What city workingman somewhat
fond of beer would not be willing to
go to Washington and march in dem
onstrations against prohibition If the
liquor interests should pay the bills?"
asks the Sac Sun. when we see
something Of that kind let US ask our
selves such question"
To the Sioux City Journal 1T would
seem that the SAFE policy for this ma
| ton would be TO keep TIE strength Of
the navy where 1t now is for the next
few years. If the league of nations
proves to be what its advocates assert
it will be and what its enemies hope
| it will be as a preserver of world
peace. then nations can reduce or even
eliminate their navies with confidence
and safety. But If the predictions OF
students of conditions as lney 90
| list prove correct; if it is found that
| the league of nations is impotent to
preserve the peace which 1t is created
| to preserve, the greatest security
against var will be an uncomfortable
navy Of the United States. used In JUS
| tico against outlaw nations when their
| acts require it and as a police force

gression of the strong"

WITH TERRORISM
Bill to Aboiish Compfrolier's

Special Despatch to THr suS.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Hearings be-
fore the Senate Committee on Banking
and Currency on the Weeks bill to
| abolish the Office OF Comptroller OF the
currency were begun to-day. Wade
Cooper. president OF the Union Savings
Bank OF Washington. appeared as a wit
ness to oppose Mr.. Williams holding Of
fee for new five year term. The COM
mittee had voted that the hearings
should be public. but on the suggestion
OF Senator Mclean (Conn.). a Repub-
lican. the committee reconsidered its ac-
ton and voted to for a secret ses-
sion. The vote was on strictly party
lines. the Republicans having by acct
dent a majority of the committee present
Senator Hollis IN. HI, urged open
sessions He demanded that DIRECTORS
to the recon6rmation OF Mr.. Williams
come out in the open as TO statements
of his unfitness. but the committee held
that the assertions so frequently made
anonymously that the Interested bankers
fear reprisal from the powerful office OF
the Comptroller warranted at least the
preliminary examination of Mr.. Cooper
being conducted in secret although
Comptroller Williams himself was per
mitted to he present
Mr.. Williams will not make reprisals
against any banks" Senator Hollis in
sisted. but the committee refused to re-
consider its vote and the secret session
began.
III Mr.. Williams Is being misrepre-
sented we can soon find IT out" said
senator Mclean, and Senator Gronna
IN. D.. Republican. took the same view.
Mr. Cooper gave his testimony, he
said. against the advice of counsel for
! his hank. He told the committee that
Mr.. Williams applied a policy of terror
ism to bankers throughout the United
States which kept them regardless Of
! their desires for a change in the Office
OF Comptroller from testifylng before the
committee of making public the reasons
for their opposition.
