all are elected at the same time. Judge
Kenyon was elected to fill a vacancy
caused by the resignation of Judge
Birdsall and will serve two years. He
is not a candidate for reelection.
Judge Richards will serve one year on
ly unless reelected, as he was elected
to succeed Judge Weaver, who is now
en- the supreme bench. The judicial
convention will probably be called ear
ly and it may be necessary for the
Hamilton county delegates to be Sc
lected before the date of the primaries.

LET'S NOT BE FOOLISH.
davenport Democrat.]
The antipathy of some Americans to
anything English is making them con-
spicuous,, and may have that effect
upon us as country. The refusal to
pay the expenses of proper repre-
sentation of the United States at he
coronation of the king Of England, be-
cause 1T is not an republican
function, is absurd. England is a
power with which we have large deal
ings, close relations, and friendly COM
munications, no matter what she may
do or have done There is no ground
for our national refusal to be among
her guests on the day of her greatest
rejoicing. We may not like Edward
VII; we make not like the characters
tics of his people, we may not like the
form of the English government; none
Of these things still are logical foun-
dalton for refusing to be courteous to
a sister nation on it's coronation day.
BY paying the expenses of repre-
sentative delegation thither we are In
no more danger of seeming to fawn
upon the Englishman than we would
be of adopting chopsticks and ancestor
worship by sending a delegation to
the GROWING of an emperor of China.
BY refusing to extend the ordinary
ciyilities of the day we possibly may
be made to look extremely folish. IT
is not necessary to kowtow to Eng
land, and it is not necessary nor adj
yisable to cross her off the map.
IS THE WORLD MONEY MAD?
GFontanelle Observer.
Is the world money mad? Are we
losing sight of the things which con-
serve the common good? Is there no
longer community of interest outside
the trust combinations? Is there no
cause which appeals to the hearts of
men except thru the pocket book? A
wholesale demand is made for increas-
ed salaries, and he reward of honor for
faithful public service is discounted.
Tho cause of education cannot be de-
yeloped without princely salaries. no
matter how devoted" the educator to
his profession. A great and double
crime is committed, with out cause or
provocation, one that shocks and par
alyzes' the capital city and sends a
shudder thru the state. A call goes up
for $4,000 with which to apprehend the
murderer, when the common interests
CT nlprals aid humanity should Involve
every human agency and energy in the
enterprise. 1t would seem that hell it,
self w lid olrge it's realms of foul
murderers OF innocent children and
net ch,rga gehny for its crel!tahle
service. The Observer does not like to
look thru the blue goggles of pessimism
but 1t becomes weary sometimes of see
ing the cause of humanity and honor
measured by the gold standard. Is the
world money mad?

THE MAKING OF LOAFERS.
[Grundy Democrat.1
The lesson that the Industrious far
mer teaches to boys who observe this
time of the year is, of more practical
value than the lessons which they
learn from their school books. The
farmer, as soon as he thinks the
g.. tA al
the seed, sows it. If he waited until
summer to do this work he would reap
a scanty harvest. Should farmer
make the mistake one year and put in
his crop too late he would be left in a
position to profit by his experience and
avoid making similar error in the
future. The position that the farmer
finds himself in every spring is the
same position in which the boy finds
himself, but at one period of a life time,
and is he uses the position to the same
good advantage that the farmer does,
when the time comes to reap har-
vest he will have no occasion to feel
disappointed. The boy Who during the
springtime of his life, makes no effort
at physical and mental development
and does not acquire habits of honesty
and industry, will, when the summer
of his life comes, have to content him
self with a harvest of requirements
that will have little or no commercial
value.
1t has been said that poverty is a
sixth sense. This is true If the lack of
poverty would leave no inclination to
work. as is the case with many Of the
boys of well-to-do families in every
community. A boy is a machine filed
with potential energy. II he is not
