FROM OTHER VIEW POINTS.
Certificate of cempetencu.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: If Mr.
Knox was at one time employed as an
attorney by big trust it is only an
other of the many proofs that he is
fitted for attorney general. The trusts
are not prone to hire poor lawyers.
Query.
Des Moines Register: WHY is it
that the Armours and all other great
packers have always given Des Moines
and Iowa the cold shoulder when this
state is in the center of the great dis
trict in which they do their largest
business?
One on the Canal.
Fairfield Ledger: This talk about
making the Des Moines river navigable
is all talk. Even catfish of respectable
ancestry and size are compelled to
leave that stream every summer be-
cause there isn't enough water in it
for good bath.
A Case for hir. Long to Look After.
Burrell in the Washington Press
o bother the Schley verdict! The world
knows that the Dutchman won the bat
tie off Santiago, and it will always give
him credit for it. He pounded right
hard and saw the Spanish ships go to
smash, and his guns did much of the
havoc. H wisely 'looped" to avoid
ramming and to get better whack at
'em. Schley :: al right, and Dewey's
little finror y ii weigh more than the
other two 1Glows' bodies.
Iowa at vicksburg.
Cedar Rapids Republican,: Iowa
ought to be represented in the ma.
tional Vicksburg park in proportion to
the number of men from this state
who fought there. What the regi-
ments from this state did at Vicksburg
is one of the glorious chapters in the
history of the state. 1t deserves to be
commended and to be commemorated
1t would be a great deal better to
spend a few thousand dollars more at
Vicksburg, even if the proposed deco.
rations of the state house have to be
omitted.
School Teachers and Wages.
Davenport Democrat: Forest City is
in Winnebago county. The Summit of
that place says the scarcity of country
school teachers in that part of the
state can be accounted for on the
ground that "a young man or woman
who is competent to teach a good
school can usually find plenty of en-
ployment at better wages than are
paid the country school teacher" This
is true and it isn't. There are more
women teaching school In rural Iowa
than men. Where they could get bet
ter wages and better living 1t would
bother most Of them to tell, That

Now Ready for the Jury.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: No impetu-
Gus, understandable demand for re-
districting of the state is in evidence
1t is possible an appearance of one
may yet be manufactured to meet the
exigencies of political ambitions.
Results: That's What Counts.
Des Moines Register: 1t might be
good policy to change few counties
to balance up the congressional dis
tricts, but the republicans of Iowa
have no desire to change any district
in such manner as to weaken Iowa's
power and influence in national affairs.
Elastic Human Nature.
Cedar Rapids Republican: In Iowa
the treasurer commissioned by the
governor has received as much as
and yet it is not six months since
thousands in Iowa were weeping over
the dead President and passing reso-
lutions galore.
Statesman's View of Surplus.
Emmetsburg Reporter: The surplus
is worrying good many of our re-
publican and all of our democratic
contemporaries. 1t is needless to
worry, for if Uncle Sam undertakes
to dig the big ditch that connects the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans it will
take all the surplus cash he has on
hand. Anyhow most of us are more
willing TO wrestle with a surplus than
a deficit.
Touched the Hot End.
Keokuk Gate City: A democratic
paper UP in Algona, in this state, pre-
tends to see in the recent Boston cleo
ton a pressage of national victory for
its party in 1904. Truth crushed to
EARTH it says, will rise again" But
it wasn't truth that was mashed to a
pulp in 1896 and again in 1900. 1t
was the democratic party with it's fall
lacious and pernicious views of fin.
ance. The Algona paper got hold of
the wrong end of the couplet.
Wanted: an Expert.
Iowa Falls Citizen: Iowa republic
ans are loyal to protection, but they
want protection that builds industries
and not trusts. they want protec-
ton where protection is needed and
nowhere else. -;
Penny Postage After Rural Delivery.
Red Oak Express: There is a good
deal being said these days in favor Of
reducing letter postage from cents
to ! cent. There are a lot of people
who always favor reducing the cost
of things without thinking much about
results. While We would like very
much to send our letters for a cent
apiece, We believe it would be better
to defer l cent postage until rural de-
livery is well established Penny post
age when We can have it, but rural
free delivery first.

We are constantly having credulity
strained in attempting to keep in line
with the announcements of so-called
scientists. Now comes one who
states with solemn emphasis that the
moment man or woman ceases to
grow, that the next moment he or She,
as the case may be, begins to dimin-
1sh. There must be either growth or
decrease, not only in stature, but in
all the physical functions. Men, he
asserts, begin the grow smaller in their
thirty-fifth year and women little be-
fore they are forty. The professor,
however, bars all references to beer
drinkers in connection with his theory.
He has something laid up for them
that is awful, because they seem to
stand in the way of his dcmonstra
tions.

Holiday shoppers and all other peo-
pie have no right to complain of the
weather. We have had the mild sun
shine, the slop and slush and the keen
below zero weather. Those who could
not or would not take advantage of
their favorite days, have only them
selves to blame.

ditions," he said, 1--WE cannot compete
with the Cubans. If conditions as to
cost of machinery and labor were
equal, we might be willing to take
our chances with them; but as things
are now, this is impossible" He also
asserted boldly that the beet sugar
producers are making only per cent
on their investment.
This short study has nothing to do
with what either Mr.. Oxnard the pro-
moter, desires, or the hopes, fears and
as pirations of Mr.. OXnard, of the
beet sugar lobby. The object OF the
study is to present to the world the
singular case of psychology where
truth is stranger than fiction.

Manson Journal: A farmer near
Manson is refusing an offer of 500

joining this one, and fully as good if
not better, was sold for 1913 per acre.

Mapleton Press: Sportsmen report
that this is the poorest year for rab-
bits ever known. Where formerly at
this time of the year a hunter could
go out and pick up dozen or so in

Rockford Register: A nice little girl
of this town, about IA years old, pretty

Webster City Freeman-Tribune ::
Bro. Bailey, of the Britt Tribune, is
mourning the death of his venerable
father, who died on December 10, at
the age of 70 years. Deceased was a
pioneer settler in Wisconsin and in
northwestern Iowa, and was of the
sturdy and honest stock that hewed
homes out of the wilderness and con-
verified the wild and bleak prairies into
a veritable garden of Eden.
Wapello Republican, The black
smith is about the busiest man to be
found in Wapello county these days.
He is hammering out shoes at day
break and clinching them by lamp
light, and he who wants to be first
must needs get up long before day
light, and then he is liable to find
some fellow ahead of him. The rush
continues all day and into the night.
1t resembles barber shop the day
before the fourth.
Montezuma Republican: Corn at
the Clay White sale last week sold
for an average of 70 cents a bushel.
The price is still climbing. People
from Missouri have been all over this
country buying what they could get.
1t generally cost them so cents. By
the time they get it down there it will
cost them about 81 cents. They were
lucky in getting it for the price they
did. 1t cannot now be bought for that
Just where the profit will come in to
feeders at the price corn is costing
them is what is perplexing great
many farmers.
