would be daring prophet who should,
at this time, predict certain defeat.
Still Mr.. Bryan is not the probable heir
to the nomination as the two severe
defeats he has suffered must discount
his chances severely. There is wide
range between possibility and proba-
bility. AS pointed out by Washing
ton correspondent, Mr.. Bryan is du-
bious factor in the consideration OF
middle-class business men. In the
term "middle-class" we embrace that
large body including in it's membership
merchants from the country store-keep-
er to the heads of the department
stores in the cities. That the Lincoln
editor is obnoxious to the greater bust
ness men-manufacturers railway
men and controllers of industrials =
goes without saying. 1t is hard to be-
lieve that David B. Hill can ever arouse
the enthusiasm of those democrats
who knowing the sentiment of the
masses, prefer to be guided thereby,
and in the end control conventions.
While Mr.. Hill would probably have
the bitter opposition of Tammany, and
this would count in his favor outside
of New York, it would initiate against
him seriously in that state and no con-
vention would refuse to recognize the
danger of losing so important frac-
ton in the electoral college. EXSena-
tor German, of Maryland. by odds the
shrewdest democratic politician alive,
if not the peer of Mr.. Hanna himself.
is ungrateful to the middle west and
is not in any particular favor on the
Pacific coast, or in the great north
west. Mr.. German, however. is fac.
tor that cannot be eliminated by acad-
emic discussion. If he wants to be the
nominee of the democrats, and believes
he has fighting chances, he will fight
and fight to count.
There remains prominently in the
public eye Mr.. Tom Johnson, mayor OF
Cleveland, and he is very large re-
mainder so far as the present horizon
of observation extends. Mr. johnson
is an eminently practical man. He
differs from Mr.. Bryan essentially in
that he does things" and is not an or

ator "as Brutus is" He is not obnox-
ious to the great middle class above
referred to and his appellation of Re
formed Monopolist" means great deal
to many people who know him and, by
the usage of shrewd policies Mr.. John
son is well fitted to exercise, can be
made to mean a great deal more to the
general public. Is is believed that the
question of exaggerated and dangerous
trusts, their existence and their con-
troll cannot longer be kept from lead
ing position in federal politics. The
people are becoming frightened, and
many are learning to regard the few
with apprehension. When a combina-
ton of few men shows resources,re-
ceipts and personal power, rivaling
that of the national government itself,
who shall say apprehension is not JUS
titled? Mr.. Johnson recognizes this
apprehension and he is credited with
determination to show practical and
profitable opposition to the transporta-
ton trust, If not to others--in fact, the
transportation trust, the oil trust and
the steel trust are so interviewer that
opposition to one means opposition to
the others. If he succeeds in his ef-
forts he will have made huge stride
towards the realization of his political
ambitions. His eminent practically
will prevent him from extreme and
radical statements calculated to arouse
distrust and will also point out to him
the best means of making tangible his
claims for high place. In addition to
brains he has money, and in addition
to both he has a reputation OF frank
ness in recognizing evil and candor in
abjuring monopolistic advantages, that
cannot be denied. Mr.. Thomas Lotus

A STUDY IN FIGURES
Glance at the Geography Of Iowa
and the Result.
KOSSUTH COUNTY is THE LARGEST
Is Not Likely to Remain so-Louisa
Contains Smallest Area in Square
MiIes-Popu!ation of Each County
Room to Expand.

Doubtless there are some people in
Ottumwa who could name the county
in Iowa that contains the largest num-
Der of square miles and has the most
population. This Information is con-
tanned in the late census bulletins and
shows that Wapello county ranks we'll
as compared with other counties in
the state.
Kossuth county is the largest, but
is Likely to remain so for but short
time. The law provides that this
county may be divided and there is
every reason to believe that this will
be done before long in order to make
it's size conform with that of other
counties in the northern tier. If this
is done Pottawattamie county will
have the honor of being the largest in
the state.
A glance at the results obtained in
computating the census bulletins
shows that the Iowa survey has been
unique from the fact that all counties
are so near uniform size, and this is
mere foreibly illustrated by the fol
levine table showing the area of the
counties in square miles and popula
ton.

PLANT TREES.

You will be reading this just at the
time to plant trees. 1t is always in
order and a patriotic duty to plant
trees every springtime. Plant ever
green's for a wind break around your
home; plant trees in the front yard for
shade and for beauty; plant fruit trees
in the orchard: plant elms and naples
by the roadside. Get your neishbors
together and plant trees on the school
house grounds and in the cemetery.
Next to grass the tree is natures bene-
dicton. the beautifier Of her land
scapes. the modifier of her climates,
shade for the summer. and leafless
limbs shield from wintry blasts.
Trees are better that men-some men.
They will gratefully reward your care.
will gladden. you with shade and YER
nal beauty in summer. protect you in
winter, return you luscious fruit and
flower and fill the June morning with
bird songs. We sincerely pity the man
who can only look at tree to size up
how much firewood OF lumber or how
many fenceposts it will make.

THE CAMPAIGN OF 1904

Wish we ever SO earnestly that, in
the interregnum between presidential
campaigns, national politics, as affect
ing national candidates, should not be
the subject of constant discussion, our
national bent of mind prevents the
qualification of the wish. The is not
altogether to be deprecated because
it shows an interest in federal govern
ment which it is very desirable should
be felt by the people at large. AS the
discussion of economic measures is
sure to be coincident with that regard
ing party candidates, damage is apt to
come from uncertainty which may af-
feet business and this is an argument
for the six year term for president.
Thus far. on the republican side
| Vice-President Roosevelt, of New
York, and Senator Fairbanks, of In
diana, are the only two gentlemen who
are at all discussed as probabilities
Talk of third term for Mr.. Mckinley
is not INDUCED in by politicians with
sense. and Governor Odell, of New
| York, has shown no evidences of pop
ularity equal to that of his predecessor
in the chair he occupies, nor of ma
tional popularity without which hi:
chances would be nil Believing tina
they will name the successor to Mr.
| Mckinley, influential republicans will
/ be all the more chary of announcing {
definite selection for that successor
ship until the time for his nomination
is much closer at hand than it is now
/ The possibility of the denomination
of w. J. Bryan, which was regarded a!
infinitely remote when he was heater
so conclusively last November, ha
certainly grown more palpable sine,
that time. Mr.. Bryan has hold upol
the masses of his party which, whethe
we regard it as astonishing and mex
plicable, or not, still exists. If h
chooses to be candidate before tn
democratic national convention il
1904, and pursues the aggressive an,
valiant policy with which his name ha
always been connected he will have t,

THE plaintiff, Mary OVERHEARD Her

that she is the wife OF George d. Her.

1888. at Ripon, Wis; that they lived
together as husband and wife from the
time of their marriage until about ave
years ago. when the defendant, with
out cause or excuse, deserted plaintiff
and refused to longer live and cohabit
with her as her husband. and that
such absence has continued from then
until now
That, Notwithstanding the plaintiH
always conducted herself toward the
defendant as a loving, kind and dutiful
wife. and Notwithstanding she dis.
charged to the fullest measure her dn-
ties and obligations to him, the de-
PENDANT, during the last two years es-
pecially has been guilty Of such cruel
and inhuman treatment of the plain
tin as to seriously impair her health,
and so endanger her life. .

she be granted such other and further
relief as in equity and good conscience
she may be entitled to-"
1 DR.. Heron. in his answer, admits
the marriage and birth of the children,

The career of Jonathan Prentiss
Dolliver, the mountain boy who be-
came senator, is entertainingly de-
scribed by Cyrus Patterson Jones in
Success for March. The senator's
love of humor is thus described:
His wit is one of the most attract
i've of his gifts. He can tell story
with wonderful effect. His keen
sense of humor would have made him
a comedian, if nature had not cast his
other faculties in more serious mold.
Therefore, his fun only crops out at
times.

TWENTY cows ON FORTY ACRES.
A friend with only 40 acres of land
wishes to keep dairy of 20 cows and
asks for information how best to use
his farm to this end. To begin with,
1t may be assumed that this number
of cows cannot be kept on such a sized
farm to be pastured. They will have
to be soled, fed green foods. of which
more can be grown than grass on a Civ
en- area of land. For the latitude
where our friend lives, central Iowa,
we would suggest sowing field peas
and oats every two weeks up to May
Is, then successive planting of corn in
one or two acre tracts up to June %.
these followed by a crop Of millet or
sorghum on the land from which the
oats and peas have been removed.
Enough corn should be planted to fill
silo for the principal forage ration of
the cows during the winter. Where
this course or one similar is followed
it is possible to pretty nearly keep q
COW the year round on an acre and q
half of good land. In any event, the
ration for 20 cows would have to be
fortified with some food bought from
outside, such as bran, oil, cotton seed
or gluten meal.
