DEMOCRATS FOR
RAILROAD BILL
Their Own Platform En-
dOrscs the Cummins-
Esch Bill.

The platform adopted at the San
Francisco convention, after referring to
the fact that President Wilson signed
the CumminsE scl railway bill to pre-
vent chaos makes this pledge:
There should be fair and COM
plctc test of the law and until
careful and mature action by con-
grcss may cure its defects and in
sure a thoroughly effective trans
portation system under private
ownership without government
subsidy at the expense of the tax
payers of the country"
There is square endorsement of
private ownership and operation as
against the government operation for
2G months by appointees Of the presi-
dent.
II is a promise not to repeal the law.
1t simply recognizes what Senator Cum
minis has all along said that it will
need amendment and Improvement as
experience may direct.
1t condemns the government subsidy
which was n part of the Democratic
policy under the administration con-
,rol, and indorses the Cummins' idea
of ending all government subsidy and
compelling the railroad owners to pay
for their betterments out of current
funds before they pay themselves.
1t is an admission that as things
were going chaos was just ahead, and
therefore the bill was necessity.
Claude Porter is presumably running
This time as Democrat. Is this his
platform: or does he stand with Cox's
friend. Herbert Bigelow, who has been
slumpng Iowa for the repeal Of the
new law and the substitution Of the
Plumb plan? And has Mike" Healy
SO soon forgotten this plank in the
Democratic platform?

DISEASE TAKES
MANY HOGS HERE:
Between Two and Three
Hundred Hogs Die From
Cholera or Similar
Disease.
PREVENTIVE METHODS
County Agent Suggests
Some Preventive Methods
to Farmers.

Hog cholera, or some similar disease,
eastern edge Of Hamilton county and
between two and three hundred hogs
have already died Veterinarians dis
agree as to whether or not the disease
is cholera. but farmers generally are
warned TO Use precaution in the care
Of their hogs.
The disease is more or less prevalent
about Liberty Center. around HlairS-
burg and in Scott township and is also
scattered along throughout the eastern
tier Of townships Of the county.
Preventive Methods.
County Agent Chris Christensen adj
vises farmers to isolate any sick hogs
at once. vaccinate the rest of the herd
and use preventive methods. Clean
water supply, clean feed in clean places
and rotation of pasture are among the
preventive methods that go to keep
hogs healthy. Rotation Of pasture is
especially recommended by Mr.. Chris
Jensen. More cleanliness and less mcdi-
cine, is motto recommended by the
department at AmeS.
The disease in the eastern part Of the
county is contagiouS-as are most hog
diScaScS--an cooperation on the part
of all farmers will go Il long way to-
ward stamping out the disease and say
ing hundreds Of hogs to the farmers
OF this county.

R0bbER STEALS
SUIT OF CLOTHES
L. A. Lchnhard Store Enter
tered and Suit off Form
in Display Window
Taken.
ROBBER DELIBERATE
Blo0dh0unds Brought Here
From Waterloo Lose
the Scent.

The l.. A. Lehnhard store was rob
bed Thursday night. SO far as can be
ascertained, however. only one suit of
clothes, a belt, a shirt, collar, necktie
and several pairs Of soX were taken.
1t is possible that an overcOat was also
taken. BlOodhOunds were brought
from Waterloo Friday morning. They
easily picked up the scent. but lost it
at the Northwestern crossing near the
Bonebright place, indicating that the
robber probably caught freight
train out Of town at that point. The
animals We're kept at work, however,
for several hours after they had ap-
parently given up the scent, but no
clews were found.
The robber gained entrance to the
store by using knife and cutting a
panel out of the rear door, through
which he crawled inside. He had evil
IDENTIFY picked the suit Of clothes he
wanted for he went directly to the
west display window, where an $50
stripped suit was on display on a
form. With the suit was also shirt,
collar and tie. All these he took and,
as he left, he picked up a belt and sew
eral pair Of socks.
Action Deliberate.
1t is suspected that the rObber was
seen several times Thursday by Mr..
Lehnhard and employees Of the store.
He stopped at the window several
times during the day, always to look
at the same suit. So noticeable were
his actions that once when he stopped,
Mr.. Lehnhard asked him to come In
side and look at the suit. He refused
but later came In and bought a collar.
He was stranger, medium we'll dress
ed and of slight build. The collar he
bought was Is size. He evidently
wanted little besides the particular
suit he had selected, for the cash
drawer had been. left open with few
dollars Of change in it,sWhich had, not
been disturbed. The stock had not
been disarranged in the slightest. He
had merely taken the things he APP
parently wanted for immediate use
and left.
Dogs Attract Attention.
Friday mOring when the theft was
discovered, the window was closed up
and the bloodhounds sent for. They
arrived at II O'Clock and were taken
directly to the display window, where
they picked up the scent and started
off. They went to the alley and thence
east to Seneca street. There they
went south to the city park, where they
loitered little and then started south
to the road running east past the
Bonebright place. They followed this
to the Northwestern railroad, crossed
it and went distance into the shrub
berry along the Brewer creek bed, then
returned to the track, where they
seemed to lose the scent.
A large crowd congregated at the
Lehnhard store and followed the
blOOdhounds in autos. Their search
attracted unusual attention and they
were closely followed by the crowd.

FARMERS ALONG LITTLE ELK
RIVER PROPOSE DREDGING
RIVER.

Farmers living along the Little Elk
river have interested themselves in a
project to widen, deepen and straighten
the channel Of that river from Randall
down for the purpose of reclaiming
hundreds of acres Of land which now
are practically worthless because they
are flooded almost continuously through.
out the summer months or because they
are not amply drained due to the zig
gag course of the river. A petition is
being circulated among the farmers and
will be presented to the county commits.
sioners.
While the project, contemplated is a
big one the farmers have concluded
that this is the only way that the lands
along the Little Elk can be Properly
drained. The same trouble was ex'
perienced in Elmdale town, along Two
Rivers, but the farmers there got to-
gether and secured action, the widen
