now l want to say something

for myself"
we refer to these matters as jokes,
because it is impossible for the demo-
cratic party to do anything these days
which is not regarded as joke. Prac-
tlcally ever since the Chicago conven-
ton in 1896 the democratic party has
monopolized the wit and humor col
umns OF the daily and weekly press.
From Coin Harvey to Jim Kay Jones
and from Jerry Simpson to Lob Davis
the political cartoonist has had a rich
held from which to gather material
for pictorial establishment.
The recent democratic state conven-
ton held in this city was regarded by
many people as the climacteric contri-
button to the gayety of the nations.
Hence If Mr.. Phillips is one of those
democrats who insists upon using his
own peculiar systems of photography,
syntax and prosody, the only effect
will be to add to the humors of the
campaign.
While leading democrats are free to
admit that their candidate will prob
ably come only within about 1850. 900
votes of being elected, the party can
take comfort in the fact that it has
monopoly of the illiteracy of the
present time, and that Andrew Jack.
son, patron saint of the democratic
party, was, all things considered. the
most illustrious bad speller of his day
and generation.
Really, existence for the democratic
party Is not without Its compensations

HANDS VS.. BRAINS.

The skilled workman is none the
less intellectual simply because his
muscles are trained to follow his di-
rection in mastering nature.
Most of our young people seem to
have the idea, however, that it is
more profitable and honorable to fol-
10y the professions instead of the ap-
piled sciences for life's work, as for in
stance is indicated in the fact that
1900 students attend the Iowa State
University to 500 attending the State
Agricultural college. We believe
many of those attending the university
would have made a wiser selection by
keeping out of the overcrowded fields
of law or medicine and choosing that
of electric, steam or civil engineering,
mining, chemistry or agriculture.
This is an age of industrial develop
ment in land where nature has been
lavish with her gifts, the development
of which is only commenced.
If the young man is satisfied with
the prospect of an humble, plodding
career in. endeavoring to promote hui
man happiness by following the law,
ministry or medicine, the professions
are the ladder by which he must climb
But too many are on those ladders to-
day, many falling off. If he seeks for
wealth, comfort and independence he
should follow the sciences and through
them be able to give to the world en-
dowments standing on a par with the
telegraph, telephone, electric light,
dynamo, reaper, steam engine, rail
road, sleeping car, refined petroleum,
steel, rubber typewriter, propellor,per-
fectiDg press, pulp paper, etc, etc.
1t is doubtless owing to the convic-
ton that hands when used in connec-
ton with brains are more valuable
than brains used without hands which
has induced the founding of manual
training schools by Mr.. Armour, Mr.
Pullman, Mr.. Peabody and others of
wide observation and experience in the
industrial world.

out that while the Butler substitute
made him say that he did not surrend,

to the national policies of the demo,
cratic party as declared at Kansas
City-presumably formulated by the
master hand of Mr.. Bryan himself
yet it is distinctly set forth in the sub
stitute that the head of the ticket is to
have vacation from national policies
this year along with all the rest OF
them. Phillips does not feel particu.
larly grateful to Butler. but he would
if he did him entire justice. Butler
might have denied the vacation.

No man in the capital city OF the State
of Ohio is better known than the Rev.
James Poindexter. For many years he
has been the successful pastor of the
Second Baptist Church of that city.
Every day his venerable figure and
kindly face may be seen on the streets
of the city where he has labored for so
many years. What history Of benev-
olence and self-sacrifice might be writ
ten by simply giving the details of the
everyday life of this faithful pastor and
eloquent preacher.
But old age comes to the best of men.
The rheumatics peculiar to advanced
age had already begun its insidious raw
ages when it became necessary to find q
remedy, if possible, that his days of use.
fulness might not be shortened.
An efficient nerve tonic that would
stimulate the circulation, improve the
digestion, and increase the tone and
vigor of his whole system, was needed.
The only remedy capable of meeting all
these Indications was found to be Pc.

he states:
"My attention was called some time
ago to your medicine for rheumatic
troubles by Mr.. Cook, an old reliable
druggist of this city, and take pleasure
in saying that have tried them and
found them good. 1t lis my opinion that
the remedy, Peruna, is justly entitled to
tie fame which it has throughout the

For HOmeseekers and
Land Investors.

The passenger department of the
Illinois Central railroad has just re-
ceived from the hands of the printer,
a new folder in the interest of Home
seekers and Land Investors. Many
are looking for new homes and for
land investments. This folder fur
nishes brief but reliable information
as to the resources. and possibilities
OF the states of Kentucky Tennessee,
Mississippi and Louisiana. The op.
portunities for investments in the
above mentioned states are unsur-
passed in any part of this great coun-
try Homeseekers' excursions to points
within these states are run by the
Illinois Central the first and third
Tuesday of every month, at rate of
one fare plus 50 and these excursions
should be taken advantage of by ev-
eryone in search of home or invest
ments in timber OF farm lands.

undersigned at Dubuque, Iowa.

Whereby any association unable to
comply with the provisions might go
into voluntary liquidation, or amend
its articles; that upon failure so to do
the attorney general shall through the
courts have a receiver appointed to
wind up its affairs.
From which act it appears the leg
islature had in mind the correction of
all the abuses known. And from the
number of such concerns which have
gone out of business since, the force
and effectiveness of the legislation is
evident.
This was sound law-making and now

preston, and with equality amongst
all members, and lightens the load of
the borrower, generally person of
limited means or lack of thrift who
without the privilege of paying for his
home in monthly installments would
leave his widow renter.
The firm establishment of properly
conducted concerns of this kind marks
a period of progress on the part of
the state.
Pennsylvania, we believe, is the pa
rent of this plan, and Philadelphia has
been called the "City of Homes" made
largely through the aid of building
and loan associations.
Visitors at the Worlds Fair can
probably recall the fully built work
ingman's model home forming part of
the Pennsylvania exhibit, many of
which homes have been built through
the aid of such associations.

BUILDING AND LOAN AssocIA.
TIONS.

Dispatches from Des Moines pub
lished Saturday announced that anoth-
er building and loan association was
retiring from business in the Iowa
field.
In itself this is matter of but lit
tie import. Back of it, however, there
is much significant of public welfare.
The Iowa twenty-eighth general as
sembly passed an act in the nature of
an amendment intended to correct cer-
/, tain evils found in the conduct of a
few of these associations. The amend
: ment became effective May 3, 1900.
Already it has driven several "loan
companies" or building associations
out of business. Why?
& Prior to the passage of the amend
ment it had been found that certain of
such enterprises had been incorporat.
ed in Iowa or elsewhere, giving to the
promoters preferred stock, Wherein
der they took first liberal share of
the profits; or issuing to them fully
paid up stock on which they received
dividends although little or nothing
had been paid in. Again, the stock
might be issued on terms alike to all
members without class or preference
but the promoters feathered their nest
by making provision for the payment
to them of exorbitant salaries in re.
turn for services as officers or no ser.
vices at all Or the non-borrowing
members would secure large returns
by charging borrowers large premi.
um on loans, in addition to high rate
of interest. Or the member who could
not carry the load, or wished to retire.
had to sacrifice goodly portion of his
investment.
The amendment of 1900 forbids
guaranty stock, fully paid up stock at
less than par value and which can be
redeemed by the association at any
time and the holders of which stock
have no vote at meetings. 1t forbids
single payment stock; limits the ex-
pense of management to per cent
on assets of 100000 or less, the sec
rotary being obliged to file under oath
by February Is of each year with the
auditor of state report showing all
expenditures for salaries or other pay
ments to officers. 1t requires that
withdrawing members be assured a
sum equal to that they have paid in
as long as there are no losses. which
must be shared equally And provides
that no dues, premiums, membership
fees, fines, forreirures or other charges
(any agreement to the contrary not
withstanding) shall cost the borrower
more than eight per cent on his loan.
In conclusion provision was made
