A restaurant keeper out at Sioux
City was not little surprised and
vexed a few days ago when customer
entered his place, sat down to table,
ordered cup of coffee and proceeded to
upwrap a lunch of large proportions
that he had brought from home. 1t is
not every man that has the nerve to
appropriate the accommoda tons of a
restaurant in that fashion, and should
the practice grow the restaurant men
will have to take measures Of self
protection.

Some criminals attempted the life of
the chief of police Of Fort Dodge a
few days ago by placing dynamite or
some other explosive upon the porch of
his home The explosion did consid-
cradle damage to the building, but for
tunately the chief and his family were
uninjured, although they were thrown
from their beds. The chief thinks it
was the work of enemies of law en-
forcement and declares that the per
petrators are badly mistaken If they
think such tactics will prevent enforce

William Howard Taft made an ex-
cellent secretary of war in President
Roosevelt's cabinet and he would sure
~ make good in like capacity in the
cabinet of President Harding. How
ever, he might not accept such posi-
ton if it were rendered. He might
think it beneath the dignity of a form
en- president. He would also grace the
supreme court bench and might be
more inclined to accept an appoint
ment to the bench than to the cabinet.

D'AnnunZio is another dreamer and
idealist who has found that practical
methods must be pursued in every day
life, in government as well as in bust
ness and other lines of endeavor. Fine
oratory, well rounded periods, musical
sion really amount to nothing when
thrown into the balance against COM
mon sense and the hard facts Of try
ing situation. D'AnnunZio talked and
wrote like an inspired leader, but when
the real test came he sought cover.

Mr.. Gompers manifests concern over
the activity Of people he dubs the
enemies Of labor" His anxiety is en-
tirely misplaced. Neither labor in gen
cral nor union labor in particular can
be injured by it's avowed enemies, if
there are any. Unionism is in great
est danger from the policies pursued
by its avowed friends, whose actions
are not always guided by wisdom.

FEDERAL PATRONAGE.

NOW that the Republlcan party IS
soon coming into power again there is
going to be some changes in the per-
! sennel of the men who will fill the var
ious federal positions, such as reve-
uue collectors. district attorneys, mar
shals, etc. Very naturally Republicans
who have been loyal to party principles
and candidates and have worked faith
fully for party success believe they
should have recognition when the
plums are to be passed around. They
also believe contests for these posi-
tons should be out in the open and
fair to all aspirants.
However, the feeling is growing all
over this part of Iowa that these posi-
tons are not going to be secured by
men and localities that most deserve
them from party standpoint, men
who can secure the support Of a large
percentage Of the loyal working Re
ppblicans of the state, but rather are
Il
personal friendship or happen to reside
i'll some city that has record for get
ting about everything in the way of
political favors that is at all getable.
In this Tenth district there are two
candidates for federal positions and
under the rules of the game of politics
only one Of them can secure an APP
pointment. One of these candidates re-
sides at Algona and as might be eX
pected the other one lives at Fort
Dodge. How it happens that Fort
Dodge did not present two or three
candidates has not yet been explained,
but we presume there is some reason
for it, satisfactory or otherwise b. B.
Burnquist is the Fort Dodge candidate
and he wants to be United States dis
trict attorney. He is a very fine gen
tleman and very good lawyer. The
other candidate is Guy A. Brunson of
Algona, who is a candidate for United
States district marshal for the north
ern district of Iowa. He is eminently
well qualified for the place, is work
ing Republican, has the backing of
very large percentage of the Republi-
cans of this part of Iowa and lives in
Il section that is surely entitled to
recognition.
~
ills part of the state that slate has
already been made up and that there
is little chance for any candidate not
in the inner circle. The slate was fixed
up by few self-appointed leaders in
conjunction with the state central COM
mittee and it is intimated that it is an
alright compact that cannot be
broken. Just how far the congressional
delegation has given its sanction to this
scheme is not known, but the suspicion
is growing that the delegation, includ-
ing the senators, have not yet endorsed
the plan and it is unlikely that they
will endorse it, Not one Of them secur-
ed their seats in congress by fore
closure proceedings that shut out all
other aspirants and it might be expect
ed that they will feel that Republicans
generally should be heard and that ap-
pointments should be made that will be
fairly satisfactory to the rank and
file.
The feeling is growing that Fort
Dodge is getting entirely too much
recognition according TO is size and

LIVE STOCK RATES
 ENTIRELY TOO HIGH
Interstate Commerce Com mission Says They Should
 Be Cut 80 Per Cent
By Associnted Press

Washington, August 15.-Railroads should reduce voluntarily their freight rates on livestock to so per cent of the present rates, but should not reduce rates which at present are less than 50 cents hundred pounds, the interstate commerce commission said in report today. The commis- sion did not enter an order in the case which was held open.
 The case, which principally i'm wolves rates on carload shipments of cattle In the entire western and southwestern cattle producing terri tory, was brought by the national livestock shippers league and various other lievstock shippers associations.
 The complainants. the commission said presented their case largely on the basis of economic necessity, add ing that they do not seriously as- sail the livestock rate structure"
 In suggesting the proposed reduc- tions, limited to long hauls, the com mission said:
 "Manifestly the higher long haul rates such as those on cattle from Helena. Mont. to Chicago $1.015 per 100 pounds, are of greater importance to and have greater effect upon transportations and marketing of livestock than the lower short haul rates"
 Western rate experts and shippers here in connection with hearings be- fore the commission on grain gates expressed disappointment that the re- auctions recommended did not include short hauls. which, they said, make up the greater part of the livestock movements

 The managers protested the rul- ing of the unions, which, they said, demanded head for each depart ment of theatrical labor and virtually doubled the number of stage em- pIoyes for road companies. Such a condition, it was said caused the withdrawal of scores of companies and the closing of many theatres in the smaller cities.
 An appeal to the railroads for re- duced fares for members of the pro- fession is under consideration by the convention, which will adjourn Sat- urday.

POLICE SEARCHING
 FOR DOLLY MASON
Is Wanted In Killing of Rev. Patrick Heslin, Whose Body
 Was Found Buried In Sand

San Francisco, August 15-Efforts O: the police to solve the mystery of the death of Rev. Patrick Heslin centered today in the search for Dolly Mason, who William A. Hightower, itinerant baker, charged with mur- der, declared gave him the clue that led to the finding of the priests grave in the sand on beach of the Pacific ocean.
 Examination of Hightower will be resumed at the Redwood city jail to- morrow, the authorities said He is being closely questioned in an effort. the district attorney said. to clear up some parts of his story.
 A woman who had been identified by a local newspaper as answering the description of Dolly Mason, dis appeared from an Oakland rooming house, where she was known as Dor othy Fisher. Two men, one of whom said he was a policeman, told her to accompany them as she was under ar rest They departed in an automo- bile. Police deny any arrest has been made.
 Those who dug today in the sand cliff near the grave in hope of un- covering additional evidence found nothing of importance. 1t was said.

WITNESSES TESTIFY RATES TOO HIGH ON. WESTERN PRODUCTS.
Figures Presented Show Cost of Raising Wheat and Hay Is More Than the
 Staple Brings
Ky Associated Press

Washington, August 15.-Bankers, economists and farmers, testifying today before the interstate com merce commission, attributed the present plight of western agricul- turalists in a large measure to high freight rates on grain products and hay. The testimony was presented in a case growing out of a complaint against present rates by the Kansas public utilities com mission, and joined in by IS other state commits sions and by various shippers and producers organizations. The hear ing is expected to be concluded Fri day and arguments will begin im- mediately thereafter.
 F. w. Peck, director of the agricui- tunal extension department of the University of Minnisota, said that the farmer depended uron his profit on labor, and that gran producers now were receiving but Is cents an hour on the average, for their labor. Any decrease in freight rates would be added directly to this 1S cents an hour, he contended. and would ma terially increase the profit of the farmer. A decrease in freight rates of cents a bushel would represent an increase of 22 per cent on this profit, he said.
 How Prices Are Fixed
 J. R. Howard, president of the American Farm Bureau federation, said that prices on grain were fixed where the surplus accumulates, usually in Liverpool, and that this price, less commissions and the cost of transporting the grain to the points where the prices are made, was what the producer received. There fore, he added, any increase or de- crease in freight rates was felt di- rectly by the farmer.
 Commissioner Potter injected into the hearings several times the com parative price received by the farmer for his labor and that received by the railroad employe, and while MT. Peck was testifying, asked that the econ omist prepare for the commission table comparing the two rates of pay.
 Who Suffers Most
 In reply to question as to whether the farmer. the railroad security or the railroad employe suf- fered most under present conditions, MT. Howard expressed the opinion that the farmers and the security holders probably were both hard hit"
 We must all share alike in the present readjustment. and the farmer is taking less than reasonable rev enue," MT. Howard said in reply to a question as to whether the railroads should be denied reasonable reve nue.
 Both MT. Howard and MT. Peck pre- sented figures intended to show that the actual cost of raising wheat and hay was greater than thx price for whicN the commodities are being sold.
