The IRISH LAND BILL.

Against all the grea; appropriations
making for naval and military arma-
ment the 100000 in gift and loan car
ried by the Irish land bill stands out in
bold relief as looking toward pace.
contentment and charity. When En-
gland proposes a measures acceptable to
the Land League, the n;stionalists and
the liberals alike it would seem that tn
day of reconciliation and of Irish re-
denption is near at hand. For the most
part the leaders of each party are sat
isfied. The extreme natienaHists object
to the rate of compensation allowed the
landlords as too high ana fear the bur-
den may prove too great for the pur-
chasing tenant to carry ~ competition
with other producing countries. But
while they may ask for amendments
they are too wise to destroy the advan-
tage gained by the concession of the
bill by any determined opposition on
satisfaction may exist. To the nations
aist the new bill is step toward home
rule.
Briefly sketched the bill proposes to
give Ireland outright ss.00O.000 and to
lend $500.000,000 more; in effect to ad-
vance sufficient money to enable ten
ants to become purchasers of the lands
at present held by lease. The govern
ment practically becomes owner of the
land and responsible TO the former
landlord. while the tenant pays for his
holdings in installnlents. Sixty-eight
years will be granted in which to repay
the advances and interest will be
charged at the rate of 81. per cent. The
bill is simply vast scheme promoted
and backed by ths government to-
change a tenant nation INTO a nation Of
landowners.
The bill should bring about a differ
ent feeling between Ireland and the
home government than mas existed. In
DrincipIa it is virtual recognition of
irish rights and an offer to Ireland of a
seat closer to the throne. 1t marks q
step forward for the Irish people and
YIELDS it more firmly to The empire.

ATMOSPHERE.

SIOUX CITY JOuFIlaiJ
The fact is that men and women are
dependent upon their atmosphere. 1t
1t is vicious 1t will innoculate their
lives. 1t will dull their hearing, blind
them to their marital and parental
obligations. impoverish their blood and
qualify them in abandon of reckless
ness. There are none so strong that
they can defy the poison of bad at
mosphere of necessity vitiated as time
passes. Many people make their own
atmosphere good or bad AID others
find themselves located. and know lit
tie Of now they came there. 1t is easy
TO condemn the overborne, but 1t is not
certain that critics would have done
better in like situation. The test of
virtue is In the temptation of 1t.
Many things are Very silly in print
and beyond excuse that are very ten
der and very real, in the experiences
of men and women. There never were
love letters that appeared to advantage
in the eyes of third parties. Yet in all
generations, since the invention of let
tiers, missives of love have held first
place In volume.
If foolishness We're to be sponged
out. there would not be many left to
report the history or perpetuate the
race.
The only safety of men and women is
in the healthfulness of the atmosphere
IN which they live.

THE NEW ROAD LAW.

The new road law enacted by the last
legislature appears somewhat confus-
ing to numerous township clerks who
are having considerable difficulty in
preparing their assessments for high
ways. The difficulty comes from the
action of the legislature in repeating
the very law it afterward altered and
amended. Woodbury. county especially
seems to be badly mixed up by the
mandate of the new law, which makes
every township q road district and does
away with the districts apportioned I'M
der the old law. which permitted much
sub division of the township. The
county attorney of Woodbury. has adj
dressed an explanatory letter toseach of
the township clerks OF that county
briefly criticising and reviewing the law
with the object of assisting to an un-
Outstanding of the points upon which
uncertainty appears to exist.
In this letter he points out that all
property taxes are payabie in cash and
that the only tax payable in labor is the
poll tax; also that at he April meet
ing of the board a double tax must 'e
levied, one to cover the current year
and one for 1904. The property road
tax for 1903 is to be levied as under the
old law, special provision having been
made for its levy and collection, and
tendent of roads or the township as
shall be determined by the trustees.
On that provision of the new law
which provides that IS per cent of the
township tax locally assessed shall be
expended by July 10 in each year he
advises that judgmen. and common
sense shall be the guide OF those in
charge. You might fully comply
with this provision during 1903" he
continues, because you will collect the
tax yourselves and may have the entire
tax collected early in the year. For the
year 1904 1t may be very different. Sec
ton 1913, page 62, provides that the
county treasurer shall pay over this
tax in April and October In each year.
1t is very doubtful if tie treasurer will
have even half of your tsx for 1904 by
April, 1904. But this is< probably cross
ing bridge before we get to it,"
The new law centralizes the power to
carry out It's provisions upon the town
ship trustees. They are given a free
hand in the hiring and dischargng of
township superintendent and may dis
charge such superintendent at any
time in the face of any contract to the
contrary. They may handle the entire
work themselves or may let 1t to the
lowest responsible bidder. The practi-
cally unlimited powers conferred upon
the trustees carry with them the ex
IRENE of responsibility.
The new law, with all Its deficiencies,
Is a step toward systematic road work
and it's success or failure depends al
most entirely upon the township trus-
tees over the state. chat 1t will prove
a failure in many townships where
trustees and people are prejudiced
neafnst it in advance Of its trial is a
foregone conclusion. That 1t may be
made extremely effective in economical
expenditure of the tax collected is quite
as patent to an unprecedented mind. 1t
Is to be hoped that the law may be ac-
repted by the people of the state in

1t seems wise provision of nature

of toll are history of achievement, In

bagatelles by comparison. In fact
nine tenths of the troubles Of humanity
