The only one who is really justified in put
ting faith in rabbits foot is the rabbit.
Be sure before you give anyone a piece of
your mind that you can afford to spare that

The Rushville Republican refuses to believe
that women have any more common sense than

The Indianapolis News says that the only
reason Chicago kidnappers haven't stolen Mayor
Bill long before this is because they are await

safe.
The Supreme Court of Massachusetts has
ruled that drunkenness is no excuse for crime and

drunkenness will be an additional crime and pun
ishment will be increased according to the evil
dence on the criminals breath.
One more legislator of the old school passed
away last week when L. C. Spooner died. Serv-
ing for seven terms and fighting his opponents
during every one of the seven, Mr.. Spooner ac-
complshed most of the legislation to which he
pledged himself. Some of it was good, some
bad and some Indifferent but at least one could
be sure of finding him fighting valiantly and
openly for any cause he sponsored.
Ludwig l. Roe, recently state commander of
the American Legion, has an honorable war rec
ord but is not militarist. He is of the opinion
that the horror and mockery of war with its gan
creme, its stink, its disease and terror should be
put between the covers of school books and the
youth be required to read what war actually is.
He says: "There are war heroes, but war is not
heroic" and thinks should be honest with the
kids and not continue to picture war as glor-
ious picnic.-Hutchinson Leader

Mackenzie do with Lowden delegation and no
Lowden candidate. That little question is claim
izations and individuals around the state. Rud-
olph Lee, editor of the Long Prairie Leader,
thinks that the only way or at least the best way

Herald Review says:
No doubt the governor has done
things which can be honestly criticized.
He has left undone some things which he
might have DONE But the governor
goes before the people with reputation
for sincerity and integrity. That is the
political stone wall that the politicians
may butt their heads against. Mime
sofa never had government which
stood higher than does the present adj
ministration. That includes the state
house generally, those who may agree
with may not agree with the COVER
The state government of Mime
sofa is human, but it is good govern
ment.
"She turned deathly pale, ashen.
Every bit of color left her face except
for two red spots, where earlier in the
day some of her well-meaning women
friends had applied a little rouge.
Her eyes were almost CLASSY and she
was on the verge of collapse. Those near
est to her in the court room expected
her to swoon and were surprised that she
did not"
No, the above is NOT an extract from q
country newspapers report Of q court scene
Neither is it bit of pathetic description from q
story in the confessional type Of magazine.
Instead it is taken from the New York Evening
Worlds account Of the trial Of Mrs. Florence
Knapp, former secretary Of state. 1t is the sort
Of thing which is made the sport Of metropoli-
tan newspapers when it appears in some over
sensational country weekly. But coming from
the erudite World it must need be accepted a.
good journalistic form.
