LUXURY AND HAPPINESS.
TIowa Falls Citizen.l

When the babe born today is called
upon in the public schools to write a
composition on The House Where /
Was Born" the picture will consider
ably from what man now in middle
life would draw.
1t is within the memory Of most men
now 40 to so years old, when Iowa con-
tanned plenty of houses with one room
Kitchen, dining room, living room,
parlor, bed room and bath room, all
united in one. The bed stood In one
corner, an old fashioned cook stove in
another, the table in another. and the
surplus population slept in the garnet,
where the snow sifted in during the
winter and the rains leaked In during
the summer. Salt pork, potatoes and
bread. was the standard diet Patent
breakfast foods were unknown. The
barn was covered with hay and the
horses ate holes thru the straw sides.
The cfstern was rain barrel and the
entrance to the cellar was a hole in the
floor. A new calico dress was luxury,
and the buffet, sldeboard, china closet,
etc, were not known and not needed.
The children herded the cattle in the
summer and the wolves howled in the
winter.
The world changes and it is we'll that
it does. However, In consideration of
the past, young people of today might
learn patience. Electric lights, city
water, bath rooms, carriages, fine
horses, pianos, ETC.. are all very nice
and possible, but it is well to wait until
we earn them. 1t was possible to be
happy in a one room house forty years
ago. 1t is possible to be happy now
without carriages, pianos, electric lights
etc. Father and mother enjoy the
fruits of progress. Their children may
to. when they reach the age of father
and mother.
The time to buy luxury is when you
have the money to pay for 1t.

CURTIS HAS TROUBLE.

Before w. f. Curtis hears the last Of
his Iowa trip he will wish that he had
been assigned to Dublin or some other
seaport instead. His troubles began
when he thought to make himself solid
with Iowa republicans by calling their
state central committee chairman a
"tall fellow with a fine head" and the
compositor set 1t up pin head" This
set Curtis to explaining and in order
to prove to the people of Des Moines
that he was Joker himself he pro-
ceeded to make fun of their ancient IL
byary building and to have sport with
the bill boards of the capital city, but
ne found a woeful lack Of humor on
the part of his Des Moines readers. In
despair Curtis remembered that some
one had sent him one of those notom-
Gus gold bond insurance contracts and
he felt that here was his needed oppor-

A MEAN TRICK.
TCouncil Bluffs Nonpareil.


There are good many ways of scat
tering CONSERVATION and hard feelings
broadcast on the vociferous Fourth. but
IL remained for pestiferous insect
about six feet high to invent the mean
est trick of all. After throwing
giant crackers under horses feet at
the corner of Pearl and Broadway until
the novelty no longer appealed to him.
he buried Il big bomb into one of the
mud puddles for which the street is
justly famous. and waited until a
crowd OF women in their holiday best
had gathered for Manawa car. Then
he touched it off and fled.
Half minute later thirty angry
women covered with large black splot-
ches of mud held an indignation meet
Ing and decided by an overwhelming
majority that If the intellectual pin
point who had buried the bomb could be
rounded up. he should be fed a dyna-
mite cartridge and then spanked with a
board.

alas! He was too general in his re-
marks and failed to distinguish be-
tween the reputable and the disreputa-
ble insurance companies in his censure

excited a formal reply from State Audi
tor Carroll, which suggests that Cur
It's did not know what he was talking
about
What. Curtis said was very much true
as regards some companies and as re-
CARDS the state auditor preceding Car
roll. He opened his paragraph with
the opinion that the psople of Iowa
have been robbed Of enormous sums of
money by fraudulent Insurance. He
has discovered, that many ex-state off,
Gals have been interested in these in
surance companies and that the Des
Moines newspapers have not dared to
say word in exposure because the In
surance companies We're big adver-
these observations appli. only to GER

were several old-line companies in Des
Moines doing a legitimate and highly
creditable business no one could have
taken exception to his article. State
Auditor Carroll resents the imputation
that his department has been lax In its
enforcement of insurance laws or that
the laws themselves are inadequate. He
a deposit of approved securities to COW
err the net cash value OF all policies has
been copied in several other states and
that up to date no old-line Iowa COM
pany has ever yet failed to meet its
obligations. What Curtis was writing
about was the methods Of the gold
brick insurance companies and the dir
ty work done in the auditors office
during Merriam's incumbency. This has
all been changed. Carroll is clean
official. No more gold bond contracts
are sold and Iowa insurance laws are
enforced There are several old-lina
companies in Des Moints which are
selling perfectly reliable insurance. The
Des Moines press. however, can claim
little credit for the public work done by
the outside newspapers IN driving the
gold brick concerns out Of the state.

Washington Gowa) Press to r. l.. Liv-

practical retirement from newspaper
work. Iowa newspapers will find occa-
sion for great regret in Mr.. Burrells
decision and none will agree with him
that he has been s>ribbling long
enough" in his thirtyseTen years con-
nection with the Press. His suggestion
of Imprisonment for old editors who
refuse to quit Will not be applied to
his personal case by the editorial fra
ternity of the state to which the quaint
Ipertinence Of his paragraphs has been
a helpful delight. None of us wants to
write Burrell's obituary. tho the sub
ject matter in hand might tempt lit
erateur to his best effort
If Burrell is tired of his work, let 1t
be known that none of his contempora-
res are. If he is old, none of us have
been able to read it. His WEAKNESS has
never made him irritable. There has
been no toothless snarl between his
lines. If ne has had troubles he has
never told any but the policeman.
Keen, analytical, optimistic and hui
morous, the press of Iowa is going to
be lonesome without Howard Burrell.
We don't believe that he is as tir1i
as he insists he is. 1t is the same old
story of the messenger boys grand
mothers funeral. BurreN wants to go
away and see things. He wants more
time to see the sunrise over the land
scapes he has written of; to lie out
hidden beneath the hedges and watch
unseen the home life of the birds and
animals he loves. He has visions of
sedolent clover patches and bees and
shifting summer clouds and breezes.
There is a strain of Indian in his ma
ture that Graves outdoors and envies
Thoreau more than Napoleon. For Bur-
rell his new move is not retirement,
but metempsychosis.

A JUST ReBukE.

To the Cedar Rapids Republicans
wall that the democratic state platform
and the republican state platform are
alike in that they say little or nothing.
and are wholly satisfactory to no one.
Neither has platform that
represents the sentiment of the party"
the Sioux City Journal replies with a
bit of Mr.. Perkins best effort as fol-
lows:
What is the matter with the Re-
publican, anyway? What good excuse
has 1t, in reviewing the platform worR
Of the state convention, to seek to place
the republicans of Iowa on all tours
with the democrats? Is not that the
meat of the indictment against Mr..
Cummins? If there is Just ground for
the complaint the charge is against the
great convention which assembled in
Des Moines July /. 1903. 1t can not be
said the convention was composed of a
that Senator Allison. who gave the
weight Of his name TO the platform and
! in open convention pledged himself to
that James w. Blythe, who approved
the platform and who was chairman of
the committee on resolutions and re-
ported the platform to The convention,
is coward. The Republicans assault
| Is upon the party. SO far as 1t Is possi-
BILE to represent the party In a dele
gate convention. and upon men such
as it has long professed to admire.
What would the Republican have
the platform say more than is said
wherein is slight put upon the achieve
ments of the party? Wherein Is there
failure to recognize. gratefully and
proudly. "a time of industrial prosper
Iity?' Specifically, what heroics are
lacking?
"Coincident with the existence of the
Dingley tariff act of 1897 the country
recovered from the wretcned conditions
prevailing under the last democratic
administration. But does that require
that the republican party shall dream
dreams until fossilizatior robs it of Its
senses? The party that assumes to
stand still will hitch rearward. The
glory of past should be an incentive
to live men to comprehend the obliga-
etoIiS dIlu opPSl " hAiSaA oNis
time.
"Say what may be said Of the Ding
| icy act, framed In the hope of the dawn
of industrial life. It was not the be-
ginning of the protective policy; it is
to be hoped it is not the end. One
tariff writing has succeeded another
since the republican party had power:
hut every writing has been dictated by
the protective policy.
The republicans of Iowa do not yield
to the republicans of any state in con-
! fidence in the principle of protection.
I They believe in the policy. They be-
Il:eve in it out Of their desire to pro-
mote the general welfare. But they are
unwilling to tie themselves body and
soul TO the statute of 1857. They pre-
t fer the liberty Of 1897 which was exer-
cised apart from the statute of $780,"
