Washington, Feb. 4. Around Con
gress they call him the "Bullet Cush
ion."
His right name is Sant Kirltpatrick,
and ho is representative from the Sixth
Iowa district which used to solidly
Republican. But that has nothing to
do with tho strange appclatiou.
He received that title after count
erfeiters, moonshiners and other "bad
men" had pumped 200 pieces of lead
into him in his 22 years' service with
tho United States Revenue Servico. In
addition to tho couple of hundred lead
pellets .scattered through his anatomy,
Representative Kirlcpatrick can boast
of ono glass eye, one hole in the leg,
acquittals on every charge against him
from petit larceny to murder, to say
nothing of a reputation for willingness
to fight anything from Old Nick him
self to a den of wild cats.
Tho "Bullet Cushion" is close to
seventy years old now, but tho old
fighting spirit is still with him, and
ho still boasts that ho can "shavo" a
man's moustache at 50 yards with a
32 calibre razor.
Strange to relate, Kirltpatrick went
through tho Civil War without a wound.
Twenty-seven of the shot that ho car
ries as a Bouvenir of his earlier labors
for Undo Sam came from a moonshine I
hunt in South Carolina. Pursuing one
of theso southern desperadoes, Kirk
patrick was turned upon and tho eon
tents of an old muzzle loading shotgun
was discharged in his face. That's
how Sant lost his eyesight and frac
tured his jaw. And thnt's why, too,
thero sleeps today in a mountain grave,
out unknown moonshiner.

ROADS MUST BE NAMED.
Editor Capital Journal: In last
night's issue of tho Journal you say
with re-forence to the proposed $S50.000
road bond issue: "Tho Capital Journal
invited the leaders of the movement,
or whoever had charge of it to take
the people into their confidence and
make a full and frank showing of what
was to be done, where the money was
to be expended and all matters con
nected with the proposition."
As to where the money is to be ex
pended, one has but to read tho law
to find the answer. Chapter 101! of the
laws of 1913 provides that the petition
for a road election is not to state what
roads are to be improved or the amount
to bo spent on any road. The petition
merely asks the county court to call
an election and names tho amount of
bond issue. The county court is then
to pass upon tho sufficiency of the
petition and if found in compliance
with law, the county court must deter
mine and publish in its notices of eloc
tion tho roads to be improved and the
amount of money to be spent on each
road. Tho following is tho form of
tho election notieo as provided by law;
Notice is hereby given that on
....day of 101...., a special election will
be held in county, to determine
whether the county court shall issue
bonds of said county to provide for
permanent road construction to the
amount of dollars, to mature
in years, no more than
dollars to be issued in any one year,
and to bear interest nt the rate of......
per cent per annum; and the funds so
raised shall bo expended in building
permanent roads, described as follows,
to wit: $ shall bo expended ou
the road from to and $
shall bo expended on tho road from
to , etc.

This road would havo been opened to

tho action of a few mistaken men on

However, the facts in tho case prove
plainly that they did not know what
they were talking about, nor do they
