Newspapers and Scandal

“The newspaper ought to cjuit pub-

lishing so much scandal.”You can hear, such remarks any

lay in the year, and from highly

intelligent people. But we disagree,

rhey do not stop to think, says the

Pella, lowa, Booster. Unfortunate-ly we have reached the point in thiscountry where but little respect is

shown for oar laws, because tb*laws are indifferently enforced, or

not enforced at ail. Certain people

can evade them with ease. Others,

less fortunate, must pay the penalty.Occasionally there is a notable ex-ception to this rule, but only oc-

casionally. It is for this reason

'mtfc d3Vlaw’ and its manner of enforcement.But it is different with the greatnewspapers of the country and alsowith smaller ones. They tell thetruth as they find it. The manof great wealth w’ho forgets his man-hood is as pitilessly exposed as theone without a dollar—perhaps moreso. This pitiless publicity of thepublicity of the press Ls one of thesafeguards that stands between re-spectability and a reign of debauch-ery that would rival tho days orSodom and Gomorrah. There areother millions who reek with clande-stine infamy. Some agency mustkeep this debauched element in checkfor the welfare of society in general.The press, through its publicity, ismeeting with a reasonable degree oisuccess, where the law ishut a dismal failure.— Think beforeyou criticise.

R. D. Smith, farming northwest orWest Union, ha* a query in his mindwhich has no practical bearing butwhich nevertheless is worrying him(oflsiderably out of curiosity. H« losta horse by lightning last summer,ami when he came to bury the ani-mal he noticed that one ear had beencut off. Only recently one of hisheifers died, and again he noticedthat the same thing had been done.Now what on earth would be themotive o& anybody in cutting one earoff of a dead animal ?

Dried Herring at Tripoli

People who were at Tripoli, aBremer county town, yesterday no-ticed rather an unique decoration of

the building occupied by the Tri-poli leader. Editor T. C. HuTlman,was one of the republican bolters forC. L. Bering in ,the recent camaignwas a very ardent supporter of thedemocratic nominee for the UnitedStates Senate. The staunch repub-licans of the vicinity adorned toe en-tire front of the building with smaltdried herring. According to reports

the salty fish made a very attractiveshowing and no doubt the show ing-

ot the fish was stronger than thatof Cykie L. Herring, whom Brook-hart defeated. A mock funeral forHerring was also held in front ofthe office of the Tripoli Leader yes-

terday afternoon, it was stated. —

Cedar Falls Record.

Couldn’t See the JokeA minor in Leadville, Col., or, a

day when the mercury hovered

around the forty below mark, burst

into a saloon, slapping his arms

across his chest, rubbing his nose

and ears, and generally trying tokeep up his circulation. He strode

over to the bartender and roared at

him: “Jim give me some lemonade!”“Bob,” replied the bartender, “I’m

,orry w’re out of lemonade just at

the moment, but I’m» got a pair ol

linen pants I’ll lend you.Rear Admiral Sims, who told this

at a banquet in Boston, insists that

numerous Britishers approached him

after he told it in London, and with

real curiosity, asked him, “What

would he have done with the pants?”
