TWAS AWFUL SAD
BUT VERY, VERY TRUE
A Sad, Sad Tale Told in
Nine Sad Innings.
Time: Sunday afternoon at 2::30.
Place: Athletic park in our city.
Cause: Well never know.
Result: A walloping.
Characters: All fast ones.

Extras baseball team was oper-
ated upon Sunday last at the Ath-
etlc Park in our city for very
bad case of = we'll, anyway it was
serious.
Nine Wiota guys, after due de-
liberation, decided the operation
was absolutely necessary and took
the case in charge. They arrived
with their surgical Instruments
shortly after dinner, and no time
was lost in getting things in readi-
ness for the ordeal which came so
near proving fatal.
Our boys are the plucly kind
and would not consent to being
placed under the influence of an
anaesthetlc, SO, without any hesi-
tation whatever, the Wiota guys
undertook, with their instruments
OF torture, to get their goat .
After it had been taken, however,
and the wound dressed, our boys
settled into oblivion. But next
Sunday afternoon at the same time
and place they are going to do to
the Hamlin team exactly what
Wiota did to them.
Extra has plenty of good MATER
lal for an A l ball team and, with
little practice, she will be able to
show any Of the teams anything
they want to be shown. Last Sun
day was the first time they have
played this season and the score
card didn't show up half bad con-
sidering the small amount of prac-
ticing they have done. Wiota re-
celved seven scores to our four.

OUR WEATHER EYE
Caught Mapping


One of the significant truths that
the primary election has made clear
is that organized labor is voting
solidly for its own interests and
candidates while organized farmers
are NOT.
MIR. Brookhart, for example, car
rled Audubon county for United
States senators; and MIR. Brook
hart must be regarded as a mere
tool of the American Federation of
Labor, which is demanding that the
Plumb bill be enacted into law,
saddlmg forever upon the taxpayers
OF the nation a deficit, arising from
government ownership of railroads
and amounting, as nearly as we can
tell now, to at least several million
dollars per year or probably even
more, while the organizations of
railroad laborers, having their
hands thus in the public treasury,
could forever exact whatever price
Tor their services they chose to ask.
1t is to be remembered that the
farmers of the nation are the people
who pay most of its freight charges.
Then how can they favor any such
thing as that above?
1t seems literally true that every
member of a labor union in Iowa
was actively working for Brookhart
and against Cummins for senator
on primary day. Their grievance
against Cummins was that he had
been instrumental in turning the
railroads back to their owners in
stead of leaving them in the hands
OF the government, that he had put
a sudden end to their dream of un
bridled license in wage demands,
and that he had attempted, though
vainly, to put an end likewise to all
railroad strikes.
Of course the vast majority of
farmers believe in these things and
are immovably opposed to the
Plumb bill; and so it is hard to see
how majority of the votes of Au-
dubon county could be cast either
against Senator Cummins or for
MIR. Brookhart.
Our Weather Eye tells us that
the farmers of the county generally
did not understand the situation;
and that while the error in this case
did not happen to result seriously,
as Senator Cummins was renomi-
mated anywa y, still that every eff
fort should be made to avoid
repitition of similar mistakes in the
future.
To this end, the Journal plans to
give to its readers, during the next
three or four months, accurate, i'm
partial and complete information
concerning EVERY candidate for
an important Office whose name
will be on either the democratic or
the republican ticket at the No
vember election. These articles,
which will be brief and to the
point, will begin to appear within
three OF four weeks and will con-
tinue until everybody's case Is, or
appears to be, properly threshed
ont.
