After few days rest and after the
returns of the election are known and
printed the student should arrange all
his data and make a review of his po-
litical work and experience during
the past year.
He should compare his predictions
with the results and determine the
causes of the variations between
them. He should endeavor to esti
mate the value in votes which each
class of work produced, and should
endeavor to estimate the relative
value of the different classes of litera-
ture, of the different. kinds Of speeches
and of the different kinds of meetings.
: Comparing Methods With Results.
The effectiveness of all special feat
ures should be considered and he
should also compare the effectiveness
of the different schemes for vote get
ting
The errors and defects in the organ
ization should be sought for and writ
ten out for future use. In short, he
should, by comparing the work of the
campaign with the results in different
localities, endeavor to ascertain what
could have been done to increase the
strength of his party.

In this connection he should study
conditions and results in his home
precinct with great care, and he
should try to solve the question as to
whether he could have done anything
to increase the vote of his party in
that territory.
This study should be thorough and
painstaking and will prove very in
structive.
What the Student Has Learned.
The student has now concluded this
course of study in practical politics.
1t has lasted about a year, and if he
is intelligent and Industrious it has
not interfered seriously with the ordi.
nary business in which he has been
engaged. 1t is well to ask what
knowledge he has acquired during
that period.
While pursuing his political studies
and performing his political labors, he
has seen and learned many things of
which no mention has been made. I'm
pressions and information not to be
found otherwise have been forced up.
on him, and he has learned more of
what will prove of practical value than
he could have learned in three years
in an ordinary school.
He has become well acquainted with
the history of his country, the man

to. That is, they hardly know that
any such things exist, therefore are
not aware what they are missing. Just
think of being deprived of ever follow
ing a circus band, or an Uncle Toms
Cabin around town; and be expected
to work every day in the year! How
would you like it?
There are no houses along the high
way from one town to the other They
all live in settlements, of which there
are eight. The old town, or Old
Amana, is the capital, where the presi-
dent lives. His name is Dr. Winzen-
ried; he is quite an intelligent man,
and also physician. There are two
doctors in the colony. All the people
live in these settlements and what
funny looking places they are. They
are built without any system, or style,
or plan. The largest town, or settle
ment, is Old Amana, which has a
population of about eight hundred
The houses are built along two princi-
pal streets. They run through the
town without any regularity, turning
this way. or that, just as their fancy
seems to take them. But there are
no stores in the town. There is just
one general store, which is kept about
the center Of the settlement, and every
body who has any shopping to do goes
there. The store is the the whole
cheese if you will allow a slang eX-
preston. 1t has no competition. You
pay their price, or you leave it alone,
and the storekeeper doesn't care much
which you do. 1t is nothing to him.
He gets nothing out of it. anyway.
The members of the colony have all
their purchases put down in book,
and at the end of the year the accounts
are squared, and the charges erased.
1t is never paid; and to whom would
they pay it, for the store belongs to
the colony? How would you like to
belong to the colony long enough to
buy all you want, and have it charged
Still you would find but little that
you would care about. They carry
only the plainest kind of goods. They
believe strictly in the utilitarian idea
They believe in only what is useful
and the women folks carry out the
theory to the letter. yet the men and
boys, the dandies, wear white shirts
and some of them wear collars and
neckties, which are not at all neces
sary to comfort or health. Probably
they figure if the women are kept il
plain clothes, the biggest source of ex
pense will be avoided.

most intelligent man in the colony

He knows the geography of the coun-
try, and its map, in all it's details is
so thoroughly impressed upon his
memory that it can never be erased.
He has become we'll acquainted with
all the people in his immediate local
ity, and has formed the acquaintance
OF hundreds OF others in his county
and state and from other states.
He has learned to write and talk in
telligently and logically
He has learned to handle details, to
grasp broad questions and to obey and
give orders.
He has learned men and the springs
that move them, and has gotten rid of
many false and sentimental notions,
which old age sometimes fails to Grad
icate
He has learned to think broadly. to
respect the opinions of others and to
average up man for his real worth.
In addition to all this his knowledge
of theoretical and practical politics
has equipped him for leadership in po-
litical life, if he desires it, and if he
should decide to enter the field as an
aspirant for political honors, he can
do SO without embarrassment and
without fear OF the many dangers
which threaten the new candidate. Ii

Men are at work in the timber chop
ping, and twenty to twenty-five. may
be fifty teams, are hauling wood to
the mill and lot more take the wood
from the saw and distribute it to the
houses. Old men, too old to help saw,
stack it up to dry. And their horses
are the best, and the slickest and fat
test ever saw. They are too fat to
feel well, and are sleek as moles, for
they are curried twice every day.
Lots OF hauling is done with oxen.
They are not as swift as the fast mail,
but they go fast enough: besides, no
body seems to be IN a great hurry
But returning to their victuals, if
they do not eat the best there is going,
they eat so often that they get good
deal of fun out of it, after all. They
eat five times a day. They eat break
fast at half past six, lunch at half past
eight dinner at twelve. lunch at half
half past three and supper at half past
SIX; so it becomes one merry-go-round
Of cat, drink and be merry There
are some things about the colony that
good many OF us wouldn't object to.
They make nearly everything they
use. They raise their own wheat, and
make their own flour. at their own
mill They have great elevators and,
of course, buy a good deal of grain
from outsiders. They make their own
harness and they have their own
craftsmen in every line They have
sawmills in each settlement and make
great deal of their own lumber
They have their own jewelers. and
thoir
sible, they do their own work and at
tend to their own wants But the
thing for which they are all noted is
their WOODEN mills. and for their
prints. You have no doubt heard of
the Colony Prints" The prints are
not made there. but are shipped in
from the east to be printed 1t is a
very interesting, and perhaps compli-
Gated process, which must be seen to
be understood. Their WOODEN mills
are among the best in the world. and
they have the finest machinery that is
known for doing the work. Their
goods are known throughout the world
and are sold everywhere. They make
it pay because their labor does not
cost anything. All their vast machin-
cry is run by water power. In the be-
ginning, | told you that they located
on the Iowa river: and that was with
purpose. They were figuring on
water power. 70 obtain this, they dug
canal seven miles long. 1t is what
is called mill race, and it winds
round through two or three of their
settlements and being damned up and
released, furnishes them immense
water power. which costs them prac.
tically nothing. Every kitchen and
hotel has water piped into it from the
canal. Where the settlement is not
accessible from the canalt they have put
down deep wells and built reservoirs

Never forget that no man can be
greater than the party which nomin-
ates him, for though he may secure
votes from the opposition, yet the bulk
of his strength is in his party vote.
No maa has ever proved successful
in politics unless he possessed the
ability to choose proper agents to car
ry out his plans. Cultivate this abil-
ity.
A vote does not count until it is in
the ballot box.
1t is easier to get dozen of your
own party to the polls than it is to
convert one member of the opposition.
In politics you can usually count on
the opposition doing just what you do
not want it to do.
Plan carefully but execute prompt
~, but do not bind yourself down by
cast iron rules.
Never assume a position for expe-
diencys sake in which you cannot
maintain yourself. When you feel thai
you are right you can endure defeat
with equanimity.
Do not trust your own opinion on
important matters without consulta-
tiont with those in whom you have con-
fidence.
Personal interest is always a power
full political factor.
