Attorney George NJ. Lyon announces

Lyon has entered the race after fully
advising himself of the political situa-

TOO MANY LAWS.

E We are governed too much The
following proposed law is an example
OF what would be done to us'1if the
law projectors had their way about it.
There is dispatch from Iowa
Falls. dated January II, to the follow
ing effect:
"a movement is on foot in this part
of the state, looking to the creation of
sentiment in favor Of the passage of
q law by the coming legislature, max
ing it a criminal offense for any person
to wear the emblem of a secret order
of which the person is not a member.
To this end, lodges OF the
various secret fraternities will
sbe requested to pass reso-
lutions in favor of the adoption of such
q. law, these resolutions being for
warded to the representative and SEN
atcr OF the respective districts The
intention of those desiring the adop-
ton OF such law is to retard il not
obliterate the practice of INSCRIPTIONS
persons from imposing on the members
OF the various orders by seeking as
sistance or gaining social standing by
wearing or displaying emblems of the
various orders. A similar law is in
operation in several states of the union
and there appears to be strong sen
timent in support of such statute in
Iowa."
There was decided opposition to a
proposed law which made it a Grim,
inal offense for person not a member
to wear a Grand Army badge The bill
was defeated, but it had many reasons
in its favor. 1t would, however, be a
source of never-ending trouble if the
proposed bill from Iowa Falls should
become a law The members of the
various orders may have their own
methods Of protecting themselves from
impostors, but they have no right to
call on the state to aid them in theil
Operations.
81 There are now too many laws that
were enacted for personal purposes.
We are, in fact, governed too much
now.

WHAT Is IT WORTH

What is the value of an acre Of land
which will produce fifty bushels of
corn. worth SO, and u ton and half
of cornstalis, worth Sc, mt an expense
for labor Of only 81? But such land
will not do this every year, and not
every year is corn so high. says one.
True. the field should have the benefit
Of crop rotation, but the fifty bushels
should be obtained each year that it
is in corn, and the so cents per
bushel may be obtained almost any
year by properly converting the crop
into some animal food product. We
should say that such land is worth
500 per acre if it is worth anything.
So do not be foolish and sell it for $50
or $50 if you have such land.

GOVERNOR sHAw,s MESSAGE.

The last message of the honored
Iowan who has ably filled the highest
office in the state and who is soon to
occupy a high position in the cabinet
of the nations chief executive, goes
right to the point. 1t has few frills
and relates conditions as they are
coupled with recommendations from
his point of view. Which says things.
The governor reviews the financial
condition of the state but neglects to
say anything about the condition of
the state finances as he found them
This is pardonable in the governor and
other people do not need to be told
that at the present time there is diff
ference of trifie over million dol
lars in the states finances, as compar
ed with four years ago. Then there
was debt; now there is surplus anG
the people would rather wrestle with
a surplus than a deficit.
The message contains nothing start
ling. 1t is simply a good, honest doe
rnment and gives Iowans a feeling Of
satisfaction to reflect that its authors
rise in the political horizon has beer
rapid and meritorious.
May the soon to be ex-governor O
the state of Iowa, the next secretary
of the treasury and an embryonic Pres
ident live long in the land that has
,honored him and itself.

THE MAN BEHIND THE GUN.

4, One of the real pleasures of news
paper work is the almost daily devel-
! opment of the unexpected" in
Thought, ideas and comment from the
masses. A newspaper man who keeps
sSjn close touch with the masses, never
sails to realize as did the immortal
IN lcoln, that the heart of the Ameri-
n people is right. He comes to be-
q that the republic cannot be over
ewn, because it is government of
e people, by the people, and when
at issues are at stake the people
4 II be found on the side of liberty
~ right-they can be depended upon.
1t is the fixed policy Of the. Courier,
! not only to freely open its columns to
s9incere expressions of opinion from
all the people, but to seek such express
sion and give it the widest publicity.
The result is that often gems of
thought and patriotic inspiration find

The writer believes, as do others,
that Lee Clark was murdered. He
does not pretend TO say what the mo-
tive was that prompted the crime but
makes the deductions from the testi-
mony adduced before the coroner.
Neither does he pretend to point out
the guilty person or even to direct the
finger of suspicion, yet in the interest
Iof good government this newspaper
believes that it would be doing the
community great injustice did it not
seek to create a public sentiment
which demands that the guilty person
be brought to judgment. The grand
Jury, the police and those whose duty
lit is to ferret out crimes against the
commonwealth ought to leave no stone
unturned to find the culprit and fast
en- the crime uopn him.

WHY THEY DIED FROM THE TOP.

WHY THEY DIED FROM THE TOP.
- A reader who says that he has lost
as many as 300 apple trees wishes to
know why these trees have invariably
died from the top down, followed by
bunch of suckers springing from their
roots. We find that there are several
causes for the death Of apple trees
borers. sun scald, drought, extremes
of temperature, both heat and cold.
Among these the first named-the bor-
ers-is probably the cause of the death
of more apple trees than. any of the
others or all of them put together. The
tree with the worm at the root will
usually commence to die from the top.
as it will also in the case of blight and
sun scald. The suckers referred to
spring from the root graft as a gener-
al thing. the roots not being injured
by the blight, the borer or the extremes
of temperature. When man sets out
an apple tree, if he would place a
strip of common wire mosquito netting
around the trunk of the tree and leave
it on winter and summer or as long as
it will last. which Is about five years,
he will have more nearly solved the
rabbit, borer and sun scald problems
than in any other way. This, coupled
| with thorough cultivation for five years
and the keeping of all four footed ami
mails out of the orchard. will secure for
any man who will do it an orchard
which will be a source Of not only
pleasure but profit for him.

their way into our columns, coming

their way into our columns, coming
from the masses.
A recent notable example of this is
in the article prepared by Private
Thos. r. Buckley, descriptive OF his
recent visit to the battlefield of Fred
ericllsburg which article was read be-
fore Cloutman Post G. A. r. and pub
lished in full in the Courier of Janu-
airy 10. We have read many newspa-
per and magazine articles of similar
character, and none have breathed a
higher spirit of patriotism or have
done more exact and deserved justice
to the real hero of all wars-the brave
private soldier-than this. Mr. Bick-
ley expressed a great truth which
should impress itself upon the con
seriousness of every citizen in the fol
lowing:
every Union soldier who fought un-
der its leaders helped to make them
immortal, and thus helped TO fill our
history with the names which inspire
a nations pride and patriotism. The
bravest and most patriotic thing a
man can do is to enter the ranks as a.
common soldier animated by patriot
ism alone. #Many a lad from the
farm. many a red headed, freckle.fac-
ed boy from the district school. many
grimy miner, many young hustler
from the workshop, shouldered his
musket in the days of the Civil war
and went forth to his death without
the hope OF fame, or the dream of
glory, but simply with his mother
taught conviction of duty, and with a
purpose of defending the flag of his
country and preserving this national
union. That is the brayest kind of
! bravery, the most heroic kind of hero
ism, he most patriotic kind of pa
! triotism."
Truly "the man behind the gun" the
man who walked and fought and
died in the ranks" is deserving of all
honor
Mr.. Buckley was one of these men,
and the Courier joins most heartily
with the public in appreciation of his
| beautiful tribute to his comrades in
arms, the private soldier.

A marked change is in progress in
the agricultural methods Of Kansas
and Nebraska 1t has been demon
strated that winter wheat is one of the
surest and best crops which can be
grown, especially in all that portion of
those states which are at all subject to
midsummer hot winds and drought.
Kansas leads all the states in the pro-
duction of wheat this year. These
wheattields furnish an immense amount
of good feed during the fall, winter and
spring and may be pastured to the de-
cided benefit of the crop of wheat.
This fact, coupled with this other, that
alfalfa will do well on very much of
this ;erritory, is going to make the
eastern end Of the great American des-
ert to blossom as the rose. y
