Woodbine, Ia, July 12.-Funeral
services for little 4-ycar-old Leighton
Derry, who was killed beneath the car
his father was driving, were held
at the l.. D. S. church at 2 o'clock
Sunday afternoon, the elder officiat-
ing. The body was taken to Lamont,
Ia, for burial.
"Papa. 1 think Pm going to die"
were the last words the little fellow
said. He died few minutes later.
The accident happened about 8
o'clock Friday evening. Mr.. Derry,
who is salesman for the Watkins
Medical company. driving out of Wood
bine, had returned home in his car,
when his two children ran out to meet
him. The little girl got onto the seat,
and the boy stood on the running
board. In some way, no one knows how,
the little fellow fell off and under
the car. His father stopped the car
as soon as he could but the lad had
been run over.
Physicians are undecided what caus-
ed the boys death.

Car Robbery Facts Coming Out

~ q gs
The Dodge touring car which was
forcibly taken from Red Cummings
and Tom Colver. Missouri Valley boys
three miles north Of Logan Wednes-
day by tourists, was found Friday
morning. in a shed near the stock
yards, in Logan, where the travellers
had left it. =.
The tourists got in touch with
Sheriff Walter Milliman after they
had passed through the city, and ex-
planned that they had taken the car
from the boys becaues the young
men had been bothering them on
the road from Denison, at one time
nearly running them into a ditch.
1t was their plan, they said, to take
charge of the lads and turn them
over to authorities in Logan on a
reckless driving charge, but when
they overlook the boys, an argu-
ment followed, during which one of
the tourists slapped Cummings and
both boys left the car. The travel
ers then brought the machine to Lo-
gan and left it in the shed, being in
too much of a hurry to hunt up the
authorities, they said.
When questioned by Sheriff Milli-
man, the boys admitted that they
had had trouble with the tourists.

Pertinent Political Points

Ever and anon some disgruntled
political malefactor like Willie Wad-
die Hearst starts out to reform the
world, pay off grudges and grab q
lot Of Doodle by the creation of new
political party. It is possible that
something of the sort may be neces-
sary in time unless the old parties do
q lot Of house-cleaning, but the time
tor the creation Of a new party is
not ripe this year.
We all must acknowledge that
modern politics is anything but clean
and decent, as we would have it, and
as it ought to be, but the remedy lies
in the people themselves taking an
interest and demanding a cleanup
from within. rather than from tearing
down both the old parties and the
construction Of something -or other
out of the ruins. We have exactly
the same timber to work on in the
construction Of a new party that. we
have in remodeling either or both of
the old parties. Either job is clearly
up to the people themselves. and as
long as only forty. per cent of them
will take the trouble to go to the polls
at all, the reformation of politics is
going to remain an iridescent dream.
At present the great trouble is the
eternal scrap going on between capi-
tai and labor, each strongly organized
and each almost entirely careless Of
the rights or interests of the other
or Of the big majority in between.
1t is time that capital and labor
realized that their interests are real
" commutual, as inter-uependent as
the brain and the body. 1t is time
that capital and labor ceased their
fratricidal strife and, uniting their
mighty forces under one flag of pro-
gress, completed the conquest of the
world and doomed Poverty, Ignorance
and Vice-hell's greatest triumyirate
Ito banishment eternal. Unless lab
or is remuneratively employed capi-
tai cannot increase-it can only con-
centrate. And unless property rights
are held inviolable and capital there
by encouraged to high enterprise,
labor is left without a lever with
which to lift itself to perfect life and
must sink back to barbarism.
Both the great national conventions
at Chicago and San Francisco have
had their attention called to these
truths both by the representatives of
capital and the representatives of
labor, and if their parties do not rec
ognize these basic and fundamental
facts, then indeed will the people
finally turn and undertake the Gre
alton of something new and different
in the way of political representation
and party machinery.

A CALL TO DUTY

this paper, for its editor, personally and
officially, urges that 1900 per cent
membership be accorded the local Red

TRAPPING SEASON
HAS OPENED

The trapping season this year has
opened very auspiciously, so far as the
prospects for good catch of both
coyotes and bobcats is concerned,
and the quality of fur taken thus far
of both cats and dogs is exceptional
". fine quality Trappers report that
n every direction coyotes are num-
erous, and being in the main young
ones are not as wary as the old gray
boards. The rabies seems to have
about run it course in this section, as
the pups and younger coyotes are
wearing fine, glossy coats. The price
of skins this season, however, is an
unknown factor In November of
each year, a big fur sale is held in
London, which sets the price and in
dictates the demand for furs, and until
this sale is heard from the American
wholesalers are cautious about maxi
ing offers. No catalogues as yet
been issued by the dealers.
