LEAVING BOB
(WaferlOO. Iowa. Courier

waterloo, Iowa, Courier)
An event of considerable signi
ficance in Iowa politics is the res
ignation of A. w. Maxwell, Cedar
Rapids, from his post as member
of the LaFollette state central
committee from the Fifth congress
sional district
Maxwell was q personal appOin-
tee of President Roosevelt to the
public land office in Oklahoma and
four times a member of the ma
tional Republican committee. He
has been active in the LaFollette
movement in Iowa, but has now
renOunced it.
In doing so, he said:
II am thoroughly out of har-
mony with the inefficient manage
ment of the movement of some Of
those occupying high places in the
confidence of Senator LaFollette
that l am impelled to the dictates
Of my conscience to repudiate the
movement in it's entirety.
"The campaign thus far has
been one of wind rather than of
substance and l can not persuade
myself that the management, at
least, the western management,
has the slightest hope of accom-
plishing more than the throwing
Of the election into congress with
it's attendant hurtful results
Senator LaFollette's refusal to
enlist under the banner Of the
progressive policies so courage
ously espoused by former Pres
ident Roosevelt has not strength
ened him with the Roosevelt men.
If the men by whom Senator La
Toilette has surrounded himself
in this campaign are an indication
OF the caliber of men whom he
would select rs his cabinet in case
Of election could not conscien-
tiously give him my support.
II hoped and believed when
Senator LaFollette announced his
candidacy that he would conduct
his campaign for things construc-
tive, but as. the campaign has de-
veloped, he seems to have nothing
to offer but criticism"
There are other men in Iowa
who were admirers of Roosevelt
and who believed that this new
Progressive" movement was n
continuation of his work. They
are beginning to see that it has in
it more of tearing down than of
building up. They are beginning
to see that its moving principles
are different in important respects
from those of Roosevelt.
They are abandoning the LaFoll-
cite flag.

sons of Industrious fathers. Like the
second generations of Jewish, Italian,
German and Russian immigrants,
these Chinese youths have been
spoiled by indulgent parents who
never knew anything but ambition
and work when they came over here.
The Chinese gunman is not an ex.
pert shot.
"They shoot like girls" says De-
tective Arthur Lavery. "They al
ways use automatics. They hold them
out at the side, their arms stiff, close
their eyes and pull the trigger. They
move the gun in an arc and thus get
a sweeping fire, depending on luck to
get their man."
Lavery knows all about that. Tom
Fong shot at Lavery that way the
other day, emptying his pistol but
failing to hit Lavery. Lavery shot
Fong through the lung with one shot.
In one skirmish 30 shots were fired
from behind drawn curtains. Win
dows were broken, but nobody was
shot.
Expert revolver shots have been
assigned to Chinatown by the police
to stop the inexpert Chinese pistol
users.
And white sightseers have tempo
rarily been barred from the district.

LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN
PRESCOTT TO MRS. SALLY
ATHERTON

Dear Mrs. Atherton: You will
doubtless be surprised when you see
this letter to find l have decided to
send my resignation to the Acme Ad-
vertising Company to take effect the
first of next month. You of course
know l had decided that under no
circumstances would I accept my
father-in-law's proposition to come
here and manage his steel plant.
remember you approved of my de-
cision.
That approval made me very
happy, for you doubtless are aware
by this time, without my telling you,
that I have come to depend greatly
on your approval of my opinions
and decisions. Indeed, l think some
of my decisions in the last few
months have depended upon your
confirmation.
You will remember how we both
decided that it would be very un-
profitable for my part to accept the
management of the plant, for as you
said, MIR. Hamilton was such an ag-
gressive man, he would not be able
to leave it all to me; he would be
forever butting in.
However, when l arrived here
found that circumstances had
changed the whole aspect of the
matter. Instead Of wanting to make
me manager while he was taking a
rest, l found that Mr.. Hamilton
knew he would never be able to work
again, and that within the next few
days he was going to his long rest.
He had been impatiently awaiting
my coming, for the doctor had in
formed him some days ago that he
could only count his life by days,
perhaps hours. | think he has lit
orally kept himself alive until he
could talk to me.

FABLES ON HEALTH
DECEIT

There was a nerve specialist in
Anytown who was fond of telling q
story about woman who came 10
him for consultation.
When she had been q child, the
psychiatrist learned, she developed
the habit Of getting sick" when
ever there was anything hard to be
tackled at school.
On the occasion of a particular
arithmetic quiz the child realized
that she had been negligent in her
studies and was likely to mot pass"
So she made an excuse to her moth
er. Three months before this child
had been quite ill. Memory of this
illness and its escapes from duties
occurred to her and she pretended to
be again troubled.

"He doesn't want the babies to go to

"Well, we shall have to catch

turning his sea-horse sharply to give
some commands to his Wigglefin
people.
"Electric-light fishes, come here"
he cried.

"Aye, aye, sir!" said the Holsters
crawling off as fast as they could go.
Next Captain Pennywinkle called
the whales.

wagging their tails and starting off.
Next he called the squids.
"Got your ink-bottles along?" he
asked.
Fright here, sir" said all the
squids waving their arms.
"Then follow the whales and the
Holsters. If they catch Tweekanose,
spill your ink in the water and make
it all black so he can't get away"
Next he called the horse shoe
crabs.
Bring three good fast sea-horses,
all saddled and bridled and ready to

"Aye, aye, sir!" said the horse shoe
crabs crawling away to the stable for
sea-horses.
By and by they came back.
At Captain Pennywinkle's order,
the Twins and the Sand Man jumped
on the saa-hOrses.
The sea-horses uncurled their
funny tails and tapped their little
fins (Which looked like wings) and
away they all swan to see if they
could catch Tweekanose and get the
