A SUGGESTION TO YOUNG FARMERS.

In another column of today's issue an
article by Mr.. d. w. Norris, of Grin
nell, on the conditions and prospects of
South Dakota seems excellently sug-
gestive to the tenant farmers of Iowa
ard Illinois, where high-prced land
makes high cash rents imperative.
Near Geddes. which NJ. Norris evil
IDENTIFY believes is the garden spot of the
state. rents are comparatively cheap
and crop failures unknown. Much of
this land is owned by non residents and
is well improved. Many of these own
ers must travel long distances to per-
sonally transact business connected
with their holdings and properly safe
guard their interests. Naturally they
are on the outlook for that class of
tenant farmers who have acquired cor
rect methods of farming under the
stress of high Iowa and Illinois rents,
who are honest and anxious to better
themselves. Such tenants may make
SAASiiSht IbiitIhStS viii hoh-iSSidSi.
owners of the best Dakota farm lands.
The suggestion of partnership be-
tween owner and tenant Is one that will
appeal to the tenant farmer whose
rneans are inadequate to properly stock
Il farm. 1t offers him the opportunity
to work $50 acres where he must 9th
erwise content himself With quarter
section. 1t lessons his chances of loss.
while multiplying his opportunity to
gain. He feeds his grain and is not
dependent upon the elevator price to
pay cash rental. Tie owner is
gamer in the fact that the farm is not
robbed by the sale of straw hay and
grain, but enriched by having them
fed upon the premises. The tenant is
interested in keeping UP the place"
and the owner is anxious to keep the
tenant. Between two honorable and
liberal men such an arrangement is an
ideal one and mutually profitable. II
seems to the T,-R. that Mr.. Norris
are worthy Of considera-
ton, especially by the young farmer
whose capital consists largely OF an I'M
limited number of days work and a
good practical knowledge of farming.

Some of you will remember the 4th
OF July celebration at Cedar's capital
about the year 1869 when Col. Sanford
stood in the court square and predicted
before a large assembly that land
around Upton would some day be
worth 500 per acre. Doubling Thorn
ases looked at each other, little dream
ing that they would live to realize the
truth of the statement. But the
browning event came In the evening.
The committee had the audacity to ad-
yertise wheel riding right in the face

the people. but the reckless riders TOOK
no warning and in due time came spin

wooden wheels. Up into the nall they
went and then and there astonlshed the
multitude with an exhibition far ahead
of anything attempted by ordinary
performers of the present day. Ihe

Democratic editors who had hoped
that the proceedings of the Iowa re-
publican convention would reveal a
serious breach in the party ranks in
that state and lead to disruption of
the party turnout the country are maxi
ing their disappointment conspicuous.
Their unhappiness is natural, but they
will obtain no real consolation by pro-
Tossing contempt for the tariff plank
of the platform which the convention
unanimously adopted. Their assertion
that it means everything or nothing.
according to the Interpretation which
individuals choose to put upon 1T. is
quite characteristic of men who invari-
ably hail reaffirmation of "the princi-
plies OF Thomas Jefferson" as the most
specific and inflexible of all possible
human utterances. For their benefit
let us examine the declarations of the
Iowa republicans on the subject of the
tariff
They say: I'VE reiterate our faith
in the historic principle of protection"
Just what, If anything, is the matter
with that? The enemy may have sighed
but they can hardly have looked for the
reputation OIL prihSiPie "hoSe Niiu1-
cation is found in the history of its
success and the rapidity with which
our national resources have been de-
veloped and our industrial indepen-
dence secured" The republicans of To-
wa heartily renew their pledge to main
tain that principle. There is no obscur-
ity or indecision about that, is there?
Tariff rates enacted to carry this
policy into effect should be just. fair
and impartial" Shouldn't they? Or
should they be unjust. Unfair and
stepped in partially? They should be
equally opposed to foreign control and
domestic monopoly" Will some demo-
.crat kindly put his hand upon his heart
and protest that they ought to be ad-
iusted in such manner as either TO

The platform adopted by this con-
vention was one Of the finest we have
ever heard read in party annals. There
was peculiar significance In the fact
that this should be written by Senator
Allison. (whom Chairman Kendall in
troduced as Senator William B. Allison
of the United States), read by Hon.
j. w. Blythe and accepted by Albert
b. Cummins as a candidate for COVER
nor. These circumstances point I'M
erringly to harmonious condition.
There is no Cummins and anu-Cum-

splendid feeling that Iowa republican
ism is triumphant. The platform is

Icedar Rapids Republican,

There Is nothing in the republican
platform adopted at Des Moines yes
terday that will make any republicans
point to it with pride. 1t is not that
kind of platform The one pride
that can be felt in the. platform is the
fact that it embodies, on the tariff,
compromise which at least takes the
party away from the somewhat dan
gerous admissions Of the past two
years. There is a lot of meaningless
verbage In the platform, which Will
mean one thing to one set of men
and another thing to another set of
men-but it has at least wiped out the
shelter" idea, which is the dead idea.
For ourselves we shall continue to re-
gret that we did not get terse and
strong national idea in the Iowa plat
form. But we have done the next
best thing. The compromise ought not
to be claimed as victory by either
faction, but a victory to the extent that
step in the right direction is VIC
tory for party.

The platform so far as 1T pertained
to the tariff revision, was presented
just as it was outlined weeks ago by
the conference of Allison, Cummins.
Blythe, Perkins and others. Its intent
is practically the same as that of the
two previous state platforms but the
phaseology is changed SO as to leave
less chance for demonstrations such
as have been made. 1t was adopted
and it is hoped that no
true republican will imagine he is not
in harmony with 1t. 1t is given in full

IMuscatine Journal.1

Iowa republicans, standpatters and
revisionists alike, may stand on the
republican platform and still be honest
with themselves. Not as much can be
said of all platforms where there are
factional differences widely separated
by ideas as conflicting as extreme OPP
posites could well be. This is not the
case in Iowa. All republicans are uni
ted in the principle that protection IS
the handmaiden of prosperity and we
are also united on the theory that the
world does not stand still.

The platform speaks for itself. Col
umns of contention can not alter the
fact that in it is expressed in language
unmistakable the sentiments contained
in the platforms of 1902 and in terms
even more direct and explicit. With all
the men responsible for the utterances
of the past and enthusiastic in their
support stands Governor Cummins in
serene content with both feet on this
strong platform. 1t is gratifying to
believe it is generally satisfactory
to Iowa republicans. 1t matters not to
reasonable persons whether the more
important sections were written by the
governor, the senior senator or by any
other man, it is the things said that
count.

To claim that the governor has re-

charge insincerity upon those oppo-

INT. Vernon Record.1

The tariff plank Of the republican
state platform. the plank which has
had greatness thrust upon it by the
discussions of the past year. is given
in full in another column. The plank
to our mind is a clearcut expression of
the best republicanism 1t is an ex-
preston of the Iowa idea" as inter-
preted by this paper and by almost all
the republican newspapers and the
public men of the state.
The plank puts the more chronic
fault finders of the stand pat press on
the defensive. For the past year they
have been saying, IF this is the inter
probation of the Iowa idea" all good
republicans can subscribe to 1t. This,
then is the Interpretation. 1t is now
up to them to prove that they were in
earnest in their remarks.

What IL Weighs and the Number Of

Whether IL be the brain cell of a

stun it is made OF is much the same.
IL IS difference OF structure apparent
" rather than Of material. And the
chemical differences between n brain OF
nerve cell and that Of the muscles or
the skin seems reducible mainly TO a
difference in the proportion Of two sub
stances-watcr and phosphorus. Lean
beef, for example. IS from 40 TO 50 per
cent water; the brain Is from 90 to %
per cent water. And n brain or nerve
cell may contain from five 10 ten times
rs much phosphorus as. let us say. the
cells Of the liver or the heart. The ac-
tual quantity is OF course extremely
small-by weight but fraction OF 1
