A POPULAR INCONSISTENCY.
In the next twelve months. It is pos
sible to pretty accurately forecast the
number of men who will lose life by
accident in any given employment.
Mining, railroading and the like are
hazardous employments. Of the coal
miners about four out of every thou
sand will be killed this year and a
much larger percentage injured.
But after all coal mining is not by
any means the most hazardous em
ployment. Outside of accident neither
it nor railroading, Is an unhealthful
employment. The hazard is no greater
from accident than the sweat shop rate
and the general death rate is low In
comparison. The most hazardous em
ployment is that carried on in impure
air, under ovorjtrnin and other condi
tions which exhaust and debilitate.
Where the coal mine kills one tuber
culosis and unsanitation slays ten. We
hold up horror stricken hands over a
mine horror and view with compara
tive complacency the deathful harvest
reaped "by the white plague. Many
more lives are in peril daily from un
sanitary conditions than by accident.
We cry out upon the railroad or the
mine which is slow in the adoption of
safety
devices,

United States the statistical prophecy

theory that it is cheaper to kill men
than to change machinery.
THE IMPORTANT CASE OF REUBEN DEVINE.
On or about some date not specified
in the newspaper reports Reuben De
vine then and there res'd ng in Des
Moines, in the presence of visitors
there assembled did turn his legally
wedded wife, Christine Devlne, across
hl» knee and spank her with his hand
in a manner and after a fashion famil
iar to all who have been well brought
up. After hearing the case the pre
siding judge granted the aforesaid
Christine a divorce, the custody of a
minor child and a half interest in Reu
ben's property.
The case is not clear. Did she get
the divorce because Rube spanked her
or because the rite was performed in
the presence of company? Ancient and
common law assumes that the hus
acquires snanklne privileges. In
'deed more ancient law—and ancient
law is the foundation of all law and
order—made corporal control and pun
ishment mandatory upon the husband.
He was expected to enforce obedience
and keep the peace of the neighbor

no turning up of noses, no sulking, no
slackness in housekeeping, no care-

instances throws all the work on the

judgment and refinement, is shy on eti

But it is a pity the judge did not

fully in his opinion. Next thing you

TWENTY TO ONE—A BAD BET.
There have just bvn graduated from
ihe college of agriculture at the Uni
versity of Illinois forty-nine men who
have completed the four-year course.
These men came from three different
states outside of Illinois and four for
eigin countries. Of these twenty-two
have specialized in different lines as
follows: Dairy husbandry. 6 agron

And then renlize that agriculture is
the greatest American specialty. It
is the leading specialty in Illinois, and
Iowa and the Mississippi valley. It

forty-nine against thousands from the

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.
The Eldora ledger says "the 'river

so enthusiastically boomed in Iowa
will be a good thing and very desir
able no doubt and worth all they will
cost. For one thing, the people who
prefer or must continue to use horses
will know where tho danger lies and
car. use some other road. But, in view
of the fact that Iowa now has all the
railways needed for any one who is
in nan hurry to get-across the state,
and that the hogs and corn and other
produce of the state seeking market
must be hauled to these railways,
would it not be well to spend the
state's money in building up a good
system of wagon roads as laterals to
these railways."

IOWA HOOtS AND CANADA.

northwest Canada. They raise hogs
enough up there to keep the packing
house busy. Such facts ought to
have some bearing on the reciprocity
issue.—Cedar Rapids Republican.
One Is surprised too to read from
the pen of a sensible editor any inti
mation that the few hogs raised in
Canada without corn can be shipped
a thousand miles farther than Iowa
hogs fattened on clover and corn, and
sold in competition with the Iowa
porkers. The Republican man scares

(Sask.) Enterprise of June 1 the
market price of live hogs is quoted
at $9.50 per cwt. In Chicago the same
date the best hogs brought about $6.
The man that thinks $9..10 swine can

PLAIN CLOTHES AND DIVORCES.
[Cedar Rapids Republican.]
A woman lecturer is now advocat
ing plain clothes as a preventive of
divorces. She wants the young men
to see the young women In their
wrappers and with their hair down,
instead of all rigged up for admira
tion fit. She think# that the trouble
comes from the fact that the men do
iot know what kind of girls they are
marrying. They see them only under
artificial conditions and with things on
them that enchance their looks. Then,
later, If they see them daily in ordi
nary dress they are disappointed and
disillusioned. The same holds true of
men: the women see them only when
they are on dress parade. It is only ons
more theory added to the already long
list of theories. There is probcsly
nothing in it. The average young man
who is In love with a girl does not
change his mind when he sees her In a
wrapp^ or even In a bathing suit. If
afterwards he changes his mind it is
porbablv not due to the mere inoidrtit
of clothes. A slovenly woman might
disgust a man, but plain clothes would
not cool his ardor, nor would it induce
him to make his choice more carefully
or more securely. The origin of the
divorce evil will have to be looked for
elsewhere and so will the cure of It.
HE SAW THE FLYING MACHINE.
[Knoxville Journal.]
Did you ever see an fwviator aviate?
Did you ever stanS by_ and watch a
Frenchman suspend 'the law of grav
itation while he mounted a goods
box and sailed away in the region
of the fleecy clouds and hung there
like a giant hawk? Of course you
know that the Wrights, and the
Bleriots and the Johnstones and hun
dreds cf ether fair haired lads
ride monoplanes and biplanes thru
the air but do you actually believe
that a chap weighing 150 pounds,
mounted on a wooden contraption
weighing four or flr« hundred pounds
could deliberately sail up Into the
vaulted sky to the iilatance of a mile
as easily as you can cock your feet
upon the center table? Neither did the
writer until last fiunday when he
strained the cords of his neck and
hinges of his jaw watching Simon "the
Fool Flyer" perform circus stunts on
his monoplane above the grounds of
the Hyperion club at Des iMolnes. It
was a wonderful spectacle to watch the
gay little Frenchman steadily boring
his way Into the vaulted blue until the
eye could scarcely follow his flight.
Think of soaring 5,000 feet above the
surface of the earth with nothing to
sustain you but a frail machine that
would fall to the earth like a plummet
if its engine stopped or your hand lost

nevertheless true that such stunts are
being done nowadays. Man has set
out to master the air and giant strides
have been made toward the accom

mercialized and in common use.
IOWA AND CANADA.
[J. F. Conrad In Des Moines Register
and Leader.3
If reciprocity between the United
States and Canada is defeated, it will
be because of the opposition of the
farmers in both countries. That sounds
paradoxical. But it is a fact that the
politicians in both countries are try
ing to line the farmers up against reci
procity. They were afraid that if the
farmers once find out that reciprocity
only means a bigger market, they will
lie fr.r raising the devil with that par-

"B,lr
tlcular tariff that has made so many
millionaires—so many panic-breeding
parasites.
"That the foreigner pays the tax,"
never had half the damned foolishness
in it as the idea that the tariff benefits
the farmer by making it possible for
him to charge more for his produce
than he otherwise could if the tariff
did not exist.
When did the farmer ever do any
price fixing, anyhow?
Honestly, it makes me feel ashamed
the way they are trying to set the
farmers of the United States and Can
ada at each other's throats. Each is
told to look out for the other, he is
poison.
The argument seems to be, "Don't
buy of a man who wants to sell to you,
because he has some sinister motive
he wants to put an inferior article on
you: he wants to cheat you. Don't sell
to a man who wants to buy from you,
because he is trying to get the best
of you or he wouldn't want to buy."
In other words, "Sell to people who are
not anxious to buy, and buy of people
who do not care to sell, and you will
be safe."
The dire calamity that is prophesied
will follow the opening up of the mar
kets of the United States and Canada
to each other, makes me believe the
prophets are not honest.
I read in the paper the other day
where some man from^Aflel or Perry
or Glenwood—probably Glenwood—said
that if the reciprocity bill became a law
we would have democratic hard times
back Kelly's army would again be on
the march soup houses would again be
the popular cafes for the masses corn
would be cheaper than cord wood—in
fact, everything would be going to hell
in a hand-basket.
Now, when a man talks like that—
and he Is sincere—it would never cause
him a particle of pain to hit him in the
head with an ax.
It Canada had always been under
Uncle Snm's dominion, would there
ever have been any call for a tariff be
tween us and the people across the
St. Lawrence? Wouldn't things natur
ally have adjusted themselves as they
have between Iowa and Illinois, or New
York and Texas?
There is just as much reason in the
people of this state demanding a pro
tective tariff against Montana or Wy
oming as against Canada. If it is a re
stricted market that is so desirable,
let us all sell out and move to a little
town.
