THE POINT OF COMPLAINT.

Wherein is the point Of complaint
that the thirteenth district is TO hold
an early republican conventions Al
ready several districts have held their
conventions for nomination Of con-
gressmen. and no one found any fault
with it. One or two were held sew
eral weeks ago. and some last week
and others this. The thirteenth dis
trict convention comes next week.
There is nothing unusual or irregular.
and only captious fault-fnders find
out of the way in it.-Elk-

There is no complaint that the con-
vention is too early, but that insult

The Newspapers.

1t is fault, if any can be found,
that business men seldom read a news
paper all the way through. And yet
it is true that the newspaper carries
with it weight that is undeniable,
and appreciable on all occasions. The
newspaper is moulder of public
thought and opinion on all occasions.
1t Is for this reason that it is read and
considered by every man whose con-
sideration is worth anything.-Pres
and Print ter.

SPOKEN BY ONE OF US
Editor Davidson's Tribute to the In
fIuence of journalism.

''Infinence of journalism on Char
acter Building" was the topic of an
address delivered by William David
son, editor of the BurlingtonHawkeye.
at the recent Iowa conference on
Religious Education held in Iowa
City. In the course of his remarks, he
said:
lit is the country press that has
ruined the gold brick trade and the
fake lightning rod industry, and that
has kept Tammany methods out of
rural politics. Journalism is con-
stantly setting before its generation
the examples of great men. 1t spreads
among mankind the seeds of the rip

writer's in the land fingered at the
threshold of that gloom-enshrouded
home and sent hurrying out into every
corner of the globe eloquent and
thrilling stories of the ebbing of that
beautiful life. Men in distant states,
i'm far off chimes. read the sweet, sad
messages while tears crept down their
cheeks.
Tell me not that power which
can so graphically transmit the sor-
row of nation to the hearts of every
individual within it's sway is not a
force for good. 1t is an inspiration
for Christ-like ideals: it is an influence
for high and noble inspirations.

Demand for Laborlna Men.

There never was time within the
memory of the Oldest inhabitant, at
least, that there was such a demand
for labOring men as now. The farm
ers, manufacturers, the railroads, and
indeed all other industrial affairs are
calling loud and long for additional
help. These things are reminders of
the fact that the republican, party is
now at the helm and has charge Of
all departments of the government.
This same old party that has practical
ly been in power for over forty years
has made this country the richest,
grandest and best country in the
world.-Laporte Republican.

THE AWFUL TlLLMAN.

In the United States senate few
months ago '.Pltchfork" Tillman dra-
matically charged that his colleague,
Senator McLaurin, had been induced
to vote for the confirmation of the
treaty of Paris by the promise of con-
troll of the federal patronage in his
state, a charge so absurd and I'M
reasonable on its face that little at
tention was paid to it, Senator Nc
Laurin, however, at proper time and
in a dignified manner, refuted the as
sertion. Saturday, in the course of
rambling farrago Of nonsensical in
vective against the Philippine bill, the
South Carolina swashbuckler turned
loose again and in most Offensive
manner repeated the accusation his
colleague had denied. McLaurin, thus
goaded beyond endurance, took his
place on the floor of the senate and
branded the statement as a willful,
deliberate and malicious lie. Tillman
flew at his opponent like an angry
brute and struck him in the face,
snarling like cur and threshing the
air with his blows aimed 1T the other
senator. McLaurin struck back and
landed one on TiIlman's nose, drawing
blood, ana then grappled with the
mailman until the sergeant-at-arms
could reach the spot and perform his
duty, one that that official had been

George f. Finney, is one Of those we'll

This occurrence on the floor of the
United States senate, the most pow
erful and dignified legislative body on
earth, while in full session, in the
presence of crowded and amazed gal
leries, was the subject of our Sunday
reading in this year of grace, the Sec
ond of the twentieth century. There
was once personal encounter i'm the
senate between Senators Benton and
FOote and at later period Preston
S. Brook, member of the house from
South Carolina, sneaked up to Sena-
tor Sumner at his seat in the senate
and dealt him a murderous blow with
club. On both occasions the country
was shocked at SO gross violation of
every sense of decorum and common
decency, but they occurred at times of
special heat, when passion ran high
and men were less restrained than
now and when duels, street lights and
disgraceful brawls were more common
At this time and in this affair there is
no shadow of excuse for the noisy
braggart from South Carolina, no
shred OF palliation for his outrage up
on the whole country IN breaking the
peace OF our national legislature.

Value of Corn in Lamb Feeding.

When clover hay is used as the ba-
sis of feed in fattening lambs, corn is
perhaps the best grain to use in con-
junction with the clover. This may
not figure out in the theoretical bal
anced ration, but actual use has quite
generally established it. In the fgur-
ing out OF balanced ration only the
actual proteins and carbohydrates are
taken into consideration. We have
yet to deal with the effects on the
digestion of the various oils in grains;
which oils may constitute a real value
in a ration. We have in mind the
experiments carried on for some years
at the Michigan station, where pens
of lambs were fattened on clover In
combination with oats and bran. Lots
receiving corn in the grain ration
either in whole or in part, produced
the best gains, were apparently in bet
ter finish, and in general were fed at
greater profit than the lots receiving
bran and oats. The bran proved to be
an inferior fattening material 1t is
also tact theoretically sustained that
bran and oats are not a good balance
for clover.

Curious Punishment of Priest.

The late President Barrios of Guate-
mala, according to recent writer, was
visited on one occasion by man who
complained to him that a priest, hav-
ing taken his land for debt, had taken
his only COW also. Barrios found that
the priest had charged an extortionate
interest. He commanded the priest to
keep the COW at his own expense for
two years, to give the man all the milk
to telegraph to Guatemala every morn
ing concerning the health of the COW
at his own expense, and in case the
COW should die the priests life was to
be forfeited. The priest had such re-
spect for Barrios' order that he took
the COW into his own house. After
he had telegraphed every morning for
six months and the cost of the mes
sages had been considerably more than
the original debt he thought he might
as well stop using the wire, but Bar
rios was prepared for him. He tele-
graphed to the chief of police of the de-
partment to arrest the priest and give
him public fiogging, and in case he
should refuse or neglect to telegraph
again he was to be shot-Chicago Rec
ord-Herald.
