Cant Cut Off My Leg Says Railroad Engineer

-T am a railroad engineer; about 20 years ago my leg was seriously injured in an accident out West. Upon my refusing to allow the doctor to amputate it I was told it would be impossible to heal the wound I have tried all kinds of salves and had many doctors in the past 20 years, but to no avail. Finally I resolved leg. You cannot imagine my astonish- ment when found 1t was doing what over 100 things had failed to do; My leg Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, N. r.

TALKING COLD TURKEY

Funny thing, isn't it, how a man
will rush off to California, splash ar
ound in the sunshine and salt water
for time, and come back, pack up
his belongings and HE himself and
family to the land of perpetual
sunshine" grape fruit, juicy oranges,
flowers and smiles, "to live as long
as life lasts"
A season passes. One day on the
streets of some Iowa town or city
this same man is seen. Over at the
hotel his family is waiting until
dad" can find a house to move into.
He wants the old home back, but the
new owner wants to keep it. An ac-
uuaintance asks: "Why have you
come back?" dad" grins sheep
ishly and replies, 81 like California
all right. It's grape fruit, oranges,
flowers and the smiles on the beach.
but to be honest with you, like Iowa
better than anything | have seen
since | crossed the Sierras. Yes,
we are home to stay, and darned glad
to be back"
Has anyone of our readers heard
of similer cases? Reads somewhat
like a romance doesn't 1t? But there
is no romance attached. Think it
over before you hoist your sails for
a foreign" port. No better anchor
age in the world than right here in
Iowa. No mistake about this state
ment-every word is cold turkey.

WHY NOT BE CONSISTENTLY

A lot OF criticism is going the
rounds at the ease with which illit-
crates and physical and mental de-
fectives may obtain licenses to run
automobiles. 1t is proposed to
tighten supervision in the interests
of public safety. In this connection
we have suggestion to offer.
Suppose we be as careful in licens-
ing a man to run a motor-car as we
are in licensing one to operate a To-
comotive? Near-sightedness, color
blindness, inability to read signals
debar a man from becoming or re-
naming an engineer. Is there any
reason why they, or any one of them
should not bar a man from running
an automobile? Especially in a
crowded city? Recklessnes in driv-
ing Is held a major offense il an en-
gineer commits it; and it goes perm
anently hard with one who causes a
wreck through carelessness. He
doesn't get off with a nominal fine.
And yet, engineers have parallel
rails on which to run their cars"
You know just where they are going
and where they are not. II you keep
off the track, locomotive will not
hit you. There is no mechanism in
an engineers cab which enables him
to turn of suddenly on side-path
at forty miles an hour. He has to
follow a road-bed, and that has been
prepared for him, graded, sloped and
scientifically banked. If signal is
set against him, he stops Of his own
accord; he doesn't ignore it, or take
a chance, because there is no traffic
cop present to make him mind. And
yet we are mighty particular about
an engineers physical condition,
eyesight, judgment and nerve.
It might not be a bad idea to re-
quire each applicant for an automo-
bile license to take few trips in
locomotive cab to see how careful an
engineer is; a man whose power to
cause wrecks is limited to two
parallel strips of steel, who runs on
schedule over a route strictly pre-
scribed for him, and who seldom
climbs up on the sidewalk unexpect-
edly

ARMsTICE SUNDAY

The statement of the president sug-
costing that November IA, the Sun
day following the anniversary Of the
day on which the armistice was
signed, marking the end of hostilities
in the great world war, be observed
as Armistice Sunday, reminds US by
its phraseology that the day is not yet
in nation or any of the states an es-
tablished institution. The president
does not proclaim the day or desig-
nate it, but simply suggests it, though
he announces that he will give direc-
ton that the flag of the United States
at all the military posts, naval sta
tons, on vessels and buildings of the
United States be displayed at half
mast on that day as a token of the
nations participation in the exercise
that it is contemplated will be held
in remembrance of the heroic SER
vices and sacrifices of those who died
for America in the world war"
We already have Memorial day,
consecrated to the memory of the
soldiers and sailors of the United
States. and the unsettled question is
whether or not we shall have two
such days, one of them in honor ex-
clusively of those who persisted in
the world war. In the end the ques-
ton will be determined by what shall
be the abiding sentiment of the
American people and this will prob
ably shape itself in accordance with
the desires of the veterans of the
great war as expressed by their
organizations.
Certainly the present, while the
conflict is recent and many of the
questions developing from it are un-
settled. and our own nation has not
arrived formally at peace, the OBJ
servance of Armistice Sunday will &C
cord with popular feeling.

WILL 1T AFFECT AUDUBON

A recent decision of the Supreme
Court of the state Of Iowa has made
all franchises in Iowa nothing more
than mere scraps of paper. The
decision is affecting many lows and
cities, including Audubon, where a
case is now pending in the District
Court seeking to enjoin the Iowa,
Light, Heat & Power Co., from rails
ing their rates higher than that
called for in the franchise.
Has a franchise granted by a
municipality to a public service cor
poration any value in so far as 1t
fixes rates to be charged by the cor
poration, ask mayors, city councils,
and city attorneys in view of the
recent decision of the Iowa Supreme
Court that such fixing CT rates by a
franchise is not binding on public
service corporations.
The decision in question was hand
ed down in a case brought before the
supreme court from Ottumwa, and
involving the right of the street rail-
way company to increase its rates
above those fixed by the franchise
under which the company operated.
In several Iowa cities public SER
vice corporations have taken advan-
tage of the supreme court decision
to increase their rates above those
fixed by the franchises. A recent
instance is that at Sioux City, where
the electric power company has in
creased its rates without the consent
of the city council and in defiance OF
the fixed terms of the company's fran
chise.

CHICAGo's ROTTEN POLITICS

Confronted by legal action to in
vestigate charges of fraud in the re-
cent primary election and eliminate
fraudulent votes from the returns
Len Small, Tammany candidate for
governor asserts that a conspiracy
is on foot to steal the nomination
from him. II Mr.. Small believes
there were no serious and even de-
cisive frauds in the primary which
gave him a majority in Chicago,
why should he brand an effort to re-
veal the truth as conspiracy
against him?
If there were no frauds, an inves-
tigation or court action can throw
out no votes and will leave Mr.. Small
the nomination without question.
If there were frauds, Mr.. Small's own
declaration in favor of honest prac-
tees and abiding by the expressed
will of the people should energeti-
cally support a complete revelation
of conditions and a removal of the
stain which rests upon his candi-
dacy as long as the present evidence
of fraud is not refuted.
The secretary of the Citizens as
ISOLATION, asserts that that organiza-
ton has received many complaints
of election frauds, and has investi-
gated them uncovering evidence
sufficient to present to the states
attorney for action before the grand
jury. "In different precincts which
it has investigated it has found ev-
idence OF almost every conceivable
violation of the laws enacted to
guard the integrity of the ballot"
says the associations statement.
Proof has been found OF illegal
registration, as many as 70 persons
being unlawfully registered from
one shady hotel. The names of per-
sons thus unlawfully registered have
been voted by gangs Of gunner who
drove from one polling place to an
other. Wholesale thefts OF ballots
have been perpetrated by judges and
clerks of election, 'and so forth.
Does Mr.. Small accuse the Cit
zens association OF conspiracy against
him in making these charges II
as he says, the demand for investi-
cation and elimination of fraudu-
lent votes is a conspiracy against
him, the citizens comprising that
association must be parties to the
conspiracy. Such suggestion is rid
iculous on the face.
1t can be proved absurd, il not
worse, by grand jury action and
states attorneys energetic prose-
cution which will bare the frauds
punish the guilty, and clean up the
returns. If Mr.. Small objects to
such punishment of election frauds
the voters of the state can easily
make up their minds as to the cor
rectness of his own declarations.

MAHARG TO LEAVE SAC CITY
County Agent of Sac County To Go
To California March 4, 1921

County Agent Earl Maharg, the
Sun regrets to inform its readers, has
decided to retire from farm bureau
work at the expiration of his term on
the first of March, 1921. He already
has notified the executive committee
of the Sac County Farm Bureau AS
ISOLATION, in order that it's members
may be looking around for an agent
for the coming year. Mr.. Maharg
has done splendid work as a leader
OF the farm bureau efforts in Sac
county during the three years that he
will have served and it will be no
easy matter to find man with his
ability available for such service.
He retires not because he has tired
of work of such kind but because it
is his wish to go to California. 1t
is not yet definitely decided what he
will do in that state, but there is a
probability that he will enter the ag
ricultural extension staff of the Uni
versity of California situated at
Berkeley but no contract for this
work has yet been signed, though he
is inclined toward it.-Sac Sun.
