OLD HOME WEEK.

The eastern states nave taken up Tic
beautiful custom of designating one
week in the year "old home week the
seven days of which are largely devoted
To the reception and entertainment OF
such friends and relatives as have gone
from the eastern neighbnrhoods, where
the custom obtains, to make new homes
in a far country. 1t is week of re-
unions for sundered families and Old
friends and playmates. The wanderers
time their visits back home TO the
week selected to accord with common
convenience and the homekeepers lay
plans for the entertainment of their
guests-the homecomers. The custom
has grown of its own strength to be-
come an institution in many eastern To-
calities Illinois is now taking up the
idea and in view of the strong emigra-
ton from this state within the past ten
wears an "old home week. might profit
ably and pleasantly be inaugurated in
the earlier settled counties of Iowa.
The "old home week" might very
properly and conveniently be combined
with that of the old settlers reunion.
Most of those who have moved into
other states from Iowa are the sons and
daughters of the pioneers. Neighbor
hood and family reunions might be held
during the week to eliminate in a
grand gathering on old settlers day.
a place and hour appointed for their
own particular meeting on the old set
tiers grounds, and committees should
be appointed to bring cid friends. ac-
auaintances and schoolmates together.
| There can be no doubt that an old
home day added to the attraction of the
| old settlers meeting would bring to-
gether hundreds of old time residents
to see and be seen. 1t would furnish
a central meeting point for Tom, Dick
and Harry and their wives from half
dozen different states. The family in the
Dakotas would come as much to meet
/ the brothers and sisters and old neigh
hors from Kansas and Nebraska
as to visit the old home. Even
those without home ties remaining
would come again to see the old IA
miliar faces OF their earlier days.
The Inauguration of an old home day
in connection With old settlers day is
worth the consideration of the old set
tiers. Let them talk 1t over at their
looming reunion and the capabilities and
prospects of such an addition to the in
terest of their annual gathering will be
likely to result in some definite action

NO TRIBUTE TO THE MOB.

President Roosevelt In his letter to

etory of the Indiana governors stand
against lynch law appears TO favor the
popular theory that the laws delay is
largely res ponsible for lynchings. While
most readers of the presidents letter
will agree with his expressed senu-
merits on the necessity of swift legal
punishment for rapists and murderers
few will recall Instances where the law
has dragged seriously IL the case OF
negro rapist. In cases where white
man has been the offender 1t is true
that Justice is often retarded by skill
full defense and sometimes defeated by
a technicality. but there are few IN
the mind where cond-gn punishment
has not followed legal prosecution of
the black man. The saying that "a mig
ger has no friends" holds good in le-
gal prosecutions as in ordinary affairs.
President Roosevelt, usually right,
seems to have fallen into common err
ror in this instance. If there are delays
In the law that favor actual criminals
ii should be remembered that the posi-
hiuty of delay, the calm, careful and
judicial investigation of guilt Is the
areatest safeguard of the innocent who
sre accused unjustly. To hurry the ac-
zion Of the law gives oppression its OPP
portunity and endangers the innocent.
Public opinion is tickle and as often
wrong as 1t Is right. II jumps to con-
ciusions. 1t RACES for the immediate
punishment of the prisoner it has pre-
Judged guilty as fiercely as for that of
the proven criminal. The slow process
of legal procedure Is eXasperating and
it's technicalities afford lcopholes of es-
cape to crime, but they are after all the
bulwarks of complete justice. 1t is bet

Dear little Curly Head. careless and jolly,

Toiling is useless, and fretting Is folly,
At least when you're having your way.

You ronp and you run.
Worrying not over work to be done,
Seeing no tasks that the years are to
bring.
Thinking the future will always be spring.
Dear little Curly Head. quickly forget
ting
Bruises of heart and of limb.
Taking your own and unselfishly letting
Your brother have what Is for him;
Thinking that they
Who choose the fair way
Are sure to be fully rewarded some
day,
You borrow no sorrow and treasure no
or heartbreaking tasks that are lying
ahead.
Dear little Curly Head, shouting and sing
ing.
Who is it frowns at the noise?
Know they not what the gray future Is
bringing,
After the pay and the toys?
Do they not know
| AS they harrow you so
That God hears the song of each child
here below,
That II children ne er shouted and never
were glad
Men never could sigh for the joys they
| once had?
Dear little Curly Head. why are they try

To lure you away from your play,
| To fret you with books while your child
| hood is flying
| Like the brown roses petals away7
| Before you are care
| And burdens to bear.

there?
Dear little Curly Head, God never plan
