A pARALYZED PLANT.

says: II saw a great tinplate plant,
erected by some prominent Pittsburg
ers at the cost of half million dollars,
standing idle in the Ohio Valley near
Steubenville yesterday, and ! inquired
from native the cause. He told me
that it was because the independent
company which had built the plant had
been unable to secure it's raw material
from the steel combine and was forced
to allow it's brand new works to remain
in idleness. Remember, not wheel
has been turned to the plant which is
considered one of the most up to date

SEND THE BOY TO SCHOOL.

This is the time of the year when the
average boy is wishing he might go to col
lege. Manga boy who is indulging in such
longings cannot have them satisfied, and
it is for this boy we want to say a word.
He should by all means be allowed to CON
tinue his education beyond the ordinary
school. 1t is true that many youth
amounts to nothing after he has acquir-
ed a good education, but if he is a failure
with such advantages, imagine what he
would have been without them. 1t is %
common excuse of those parents who
would keep their children away from
college or the high school that an cdu-
cation doesn't always make the success
ful business man. Don't allow any such
ideas to govern your decisions in regard
to the boys schooling. If he has any
desire to gain knowledge, a whole world
of useful information will open to his
view the moment he crosses the TIRES
hold of the modern college, not one
StupSIU III my lpliS w icCclNc hllo
ledge of incalcuabIe worth.
1T is no uncommon thing to find faith
er with lot OF BOYS who believes
that successful career in this world is
lined inside and out and bounded on all
sides with silver dollars, and instead of
allowing those sons liberal education,
he keeps them at home and at work.
When once those boys haze reached the
age when they may decide such a ques-
their Ignorance and will make no attempt
to gain an education. That father will
| forever be held responsible for all that
his son lost aa acquiring an education
When he is besaeath the sodr he will be
remembered Esy what he has failed to do
not by what he did do for those sons.
| Let the boy go to school. Every da.
brings change in the commercial worlt
and with every change soma one step
higher The man who makes the stel
is the man who prepared himself for tn
work; he has the edllcatios, got it whel
he was boy. or at least got the star
for it at that period of his life. 1t ma,
cost few dollars to allow the boy min
months in the year in which to get Ii,

instances where such step has bee

SECRETARY SHAW is A SMART
MAN.

With his usual interest in the Iowa
farmers, Secretary Shaw has again made
a speech urging the payment Of a bounty
to ship owners. He is such a friend
of the farmer that he would pay mil
lions annually to build up ship trust
that would be about as much benefit to
the western farmer as prayer book
would be to a western robber. He did
the same thing in a speech in our opera
house and the republicans cheered him
to the echo, although they did not have
any more use for a ship subsidy bill
than they have for the moon.
Shaw also favors an elastic currency.
Now, if anybody will tell us what an
elastic currency is, he may have our old
hat for football, even if we have to go
bareheaded.
| Will some one tell us, now, what great
thing Shaw has ever done? He has not
advanced one sensible, practical idea
siuce he has been in public life, yet our
republican friends are continually
bowling: Keep your eye on Shaw"
| Yes, we should say so. Keep your
eye on Shaw and at the same time keep
your hands on your pocketbook. To
show how popular he is, just look over
the election returns from Denison
his home town, and see how far he rar
behind each time. Shaw is daisy.

Jasper county republicans still
adhere strictly to the rule of giving
county officers only two consecutive
terms. and they find that the party in
terests are better served by the en-
forcement OF the rnle. The same is
true Of number of other counties.
when the rule once becomes firmly
established there is little inclination to
go back to the old fashioned ring plan
of allowing a sort OF official aristocracy
to develop i'll the community. In some
places it becomes hereditary and it is a
bad thing for all concerned. -Clarinda

Help For Widows

In late years several governments
have remembered their duty towards
the aged and decrepit; the time can
not be far off when society, for its
own protection, will be forced to make
some provision for widows left penni-
less and with a swarm of children on
their hands. That duty the state must
recognize either directly OF indirectly.
a. present the indirect way is favored
instead of taxing the people to help
the widows they are taxed for the sup
port of prisons, hospitals, and insane
asylums.
| am pleased to add that, according
to recent information, bill will be
introduced in the German reichstag
asking for funds to provide for the
widows and children of workmen.--

trashy literature, and from such the
mind rarely ii ever receives any last
ing instruction, profit or inspirations
Whereas history abounds with the di-
rect advantage of reading consecu-
lively, If only for few minutes each
morning and evening from a good
book. BY good book we mean some
thing OF equity, righteousness, truth;
something that is calculated to
strengthen the will in its endeavor to
do good, and the heart in it's search
for true happiness and rest. We get
into the habit of reading newspaper.
Why should we not get into the habit
OF acquainting ourselves with such
authors as Milton, Finny, LongfelloW,
Green, Poe, Thomas A. Kempis, Rus
kin, and any good expository Of the
Bible? Such authors as these would
bring to us invaluable truths which.

to stand the test in all time and all
