no Me Love,

Washington Press-The danes were
right, however. Most men can love
like a house afre. Why, they do half
the courting,- all the popping, buy the
ring, and the marriage license, fee the
minister or justice, pay for all the in
itial buggy rides and the antecedent
ice cream, caramels, chocolates and the
atre tickets, and carry her parasol for
her and snuggle an arm under hAr
bent elbow or around her waist as a
motor. All she does is to pay the rent
for the parlor and the cost of fuel and
lights tho the last item is not large,
as the lamp or jet is turned low. She
also stands the wear and tear Of one
chair and lounge. Men can't love? The
fact is men can and do love much hard
er than women. Haven't you known
menin the infatuation and delirium, to
stand at the front door. late at night,
and use up the ''heft" Of an hour say
ing good by?" Emerson calls him
"the fine mad man." and describes his
symptoms more wildly than any other
observer. A man has to be terribly
in love to fancy, and even to believe,
that she is an 'angel," that her loot
does not crush the grass, that her
glance is sunrise, that flowers spring
up under her fairy tread and all those
other lovely but ridiculous spooneries.

IOWA is ABLY REPRESENTED.

Keokuk County News:-Iowa re-
ceives many compliments from The
leading statesmen and papers Of the
nation for keeping such a strong and
tried delegation in the halls OF con-
gress. Maine for years and years stood
in the front rank for influence aud
ability and she gained that prestige by
re-electing and keeping able men and
not too frequently changing her rep
resentatives. When Maine sent an able
man to congress it was her policy to
keep him there, realizing that exper-
fence, combined with ability, was to
the advantage of the state and nation.
Iowa now has the credit of having
the ablest delegation of any state and
that honor comes thru having such rep
resentative men in the senate as Al
lison and Gear and in the house such
stalwart statesmen as Henderson, La
cey, Dolliver, Hull, Hepburn, Cousins
and others. Iowa is proud Of her rep
resentatives and should be. It's a
great credit to the state to be placed in
the front ranks for ability. In the
place of Maine now having that honor,
Iowa has it. Many grave questions are
now confronting our representatives in
congress, and it will take time to solve
them as they should be solved. The
Cuban, Porto Rico and Philippine ques-
tions must be adjusted. We now have
experienced menethere who understand
these questions thoroly. President Nc
Kinley is anxious, of course, to nave
able men in congress, and looks to
Iowa for assistance. He, knows the
worth of Iowas experienced members.
and it would be gratifying to him to
see all of them returned. He needs the
help of expedienced men, while. the
nation is passing thru such troubles
as now confront us. Major. Lacey is
a man in whom he has, great faith as
shown on many occasions. We are. sat
listed the people of this district want
Major Lacey returned. Had Iowa not
had such a faithful and able, delegation
in congress, Gen. d. b. Henderson. a
man that all Iowa loves and honDrs,
never would have been unanimously
chosen speaker of the house. No other
man could have, been thus honofed,
The Iowa delegation worked hard and
diligently for the general. If Iowa gets
to fooling and sending inexperienced
men to represent her, she will soon
lose that prestige gained and the honor
Of furnishing the speakr OF the house.
The Keokuk County News is for Major
Lacey. realizing his ability ard exper-
fence, which makes him the strongest
man in the Sixth district. Let us do a
wise thing and renominate' him by ac-
clamation in the convention and the
people at the polls will return him by
an increased majority.

CAUSE OF INDIAN FAMINEs.

Numerous reasons have been adj
vanced for the frequency and severity
of the famines in India, but probably
the best is contained in letter adj
dressed to "The Country Gentleman"
Phokash Oh. Sarkar, B.A., LIB, of
Behar, East India, gives what is no
doubt the real reason for the distress
ing famines which so often. desolate
India. The letter deals with the in
creasing sterility Of the Indian soil,
concerning which the writer says:
india is vast peninsula consisting
of Kingdoms, chiefdoms, and principal
tiles, some of them not of less extent
than the biggest Kingdoms of Europe.
These municipalities or provinces are
again subdiyided into number of dis
tricts, each presided over by district
magistrate, who supervises the inter-
nal agricultural affairs and the peace
of the district under his sway. The
increasing sterility of the Indian soil
and the poverty of the people are pro-
verbal. In spite of all their eXertions
for the betterment of the same, the
ring evils which have invested the land.
Poverty in India is owing to the inces-
SAINT drain upon its economic produc-
tions, and sterility is due to the neg
lect of the illiterate peasants in not
properly manuring the fields which
they cultivate.
There is no scientific rotation of
crops. Robbi, or winter crops, are
sown on the same field year after year,
and the land cannot make up the
chemical drain caused by this practice;
these lands are becoming gradually
sterile and barren, and the yield is de-
creasing day by day. Thus thousands

1NcoRR1G1BLE CHILDREN.

At the annual meeting of the Iowa
State Teachers association, held in Des
Moines, Dec. 1929, 1899, the report of
its Educational Council on "What
Shall Be Done with Incorrigible and
Neglected Children?" was unanimously
adopted. The association instructed it's
committee of ways and means to Sc
cure wide circulation of the report
turnout the state, and to this end,
therefore. asked the cooperation of the
press. The text of the report is print
ed elsewhere in the Courier.
The problem of dealing with incor-
rgible children is large one, but it is
not entirely impossible to solve. AS
the report of the educational council
points out, few children are absolute
ly incorrigible. They are more usually
the victims of unfortunate and degrad-
ing environment that of degenerate
character. The most casual observ-
ance of the surroundings in the midst
of which some of our children grow up
will convince one that the
trouble does not lie with the
little ones themselves. but with
the influences which bear directly
3opc3 chSiA AiNSS SHiiS tACy dIc SISN-
ing up. With scientists it has come to
be a generally accepted theory that en-
vironment and not heredity has the
most to do with shaping character,
This being the case the opportunity
to help the unfortunate children whose
parents neglect them and who must
grow up amidst Objectionable sur
roundings lies in improving the envi-
ronment, or, where this is impossible.
in removing the children from the bad
influences that envelope them. In a
state like Iowa. where there are ssno
large cities, the task of improving the
conditions of childhood is not SO great
as in many communities. A compare
lively slight degree of watchfulness,
and some eXertion upon the part of pa
rents, teachers, and adults generally
will work wonders in short time.
Children are very susceptible to influ-
ences both good and evil; and il would
not be hard to make them feel the eff
fects of little care and little whole
some instruction. The problem is an
important one, affecting as it does the,
future of state and country, and the
necessity of gool influences upon the
lives of children. cannot be too forcibly
impressed upon fathers and mothers.
Apply the proposition to your own
boys and girls. What are the infu-.
ences with which they come into con-
tact? Are they good or evil?

Contradic,s Itself.

Clinton Herald-The Omaha World.
Herald was Mr.. Bryan's personal organ
in 1896, and during that campaign it
made the prophecy daily that in the
event of McKinley's election the de-
preston and distress among the work

best proof of the falsity Of this proph-
ecy is found on the want pages Of the

and thousands of acres are left fallow
after two or three years cultivation in
order to make up the drain. The pop
ulation of the country is increasing in
geometrical progression, and had these
lands been under cultivation by a sclen-
tific course of manuring, in spite of
the export Of millions Of millions of
bushels of grain every year, the power
ty and recurring famines would have
been to a great extent alleviated or
averted. In the present day the great
est thing which the country stands in
need of is to educate class OF farmers

scientific and improved way of agri-
culture, and that the same be propa-

fortunately our newly acquired strong
hold in the Philippines gives us an inn
portant vantage point in future nego-
tiations. Should any serious disturb
ance arise on this account the Euro
pean money markets may be adversely
affected; and this would temporarily
depress our local market. 1t is unlike
ly, however, that such events would
cause any permanent depression.
Should war occur, it is not probable
that this country would take any very
serious part; and it is worth remem-
bering that within the last few years
three important wars have come and
gone with much less effect upon the
security markets than expected. Our
market is now freed from the uncer-
tainty of the Transvaal war, and this
is favorable factor.
Continuing the letter observes:
The home situation, tho not with
out its drawbacks, is far from unsatis-
factory. Trade is settling down to more
normal proportions, and the process OF
REIMBURSEMENT causes complaint in some
quarters. But business conditions as a
whole are sound, and, when prices
reach reasonable level and produc-
ton is carried on with some regard to
demand, we may expect resumption
of satisfactory conditions-not rope.

THE DEMOCRATIC BoER TRICK.

Referring to the visit of the Boer
peace delegates to the United States,
the Daily Express, of London, SAYS
that the democratic Tammany leader,
of New York City, Mr.. Croker, is run
ming the delegates for all they are
worth for political purposes. 1t adds.
Records OF Tammany are already
black enough without the addition Of
this new infamy. What makes the
action peculiarly infamous now is the
fact that Mr.. Croker claims the hos
pitality of an English domicile and
poses as an English country ,yentle-
man, vet he is aiding and encouraging
the worst Of England's enemies. Mr..
Cookers position is practically on all
fours with that Of the Duke OF
Orleans"
The paper points out that the Duke
of Orleans paid the penalty:.of his of
Tense by being socially banned. II
suggests that Mr.. Croker, having rea-
sons for spending as little time as pos
sible in the United States take an
italian villa near the Duke of Orleans,
whose company, it says, he will prob
ably find congenial.
