WILL NOT NOMINATE WADE.

Davenport Democrat.1
A republican paper circulates the
story, alleging that it comes from
! Washington, that Iowa democrats will
nominate Judge Wade for governor this
year; that the fractional feeling among
republicans is SO strong thai the oppo-
nents of Governor Cummins within his
party will vote for the man from John
son county in great numbers.
This is one of the most witless yarns
that has ever been started on its trav-
els; it is silly because 1t is improbable
True it would be the best politics the
republicans ever played If they could
keep Judge Wade from taking his seal
as a member of the house of represen-
tatives by p~ledging him votes for the
governorship. But he is not devotlns
his thoughts just now to ~harmonszing
republican troubles. He mas entered
into a contract with the people OF tals
congressional district to represent them
and take care of their interests at
WASHINGTON for two full years. And he
will perform his part OF that mutual
obligation ii he lives.
Saying nothing about the expense OF
a campaign ana the time required to
make it, Judge Wade would not be at
all likely to accept a certificate of cleo
ton as governor il 1T We're handed i'm.
The position is secondary to that OF
congressman. Democrats of the calibre
of Judge Wade are more needed at
Washington than they are at Des
Moines.

THE HELP QUESTION.

lNIdiiSiiCi1i4 OOai itiA'I
Farm hands have surely come to be
the power behind the throne. so far
as We are able to judge from express
sions dropped here and there. From
s26 to $50 a month and a horse kept
up to corn picking time, and then so
much a bushel until the crop is gather
ed, and hen with no certainty that the
man will remain if some one raises the
price a fraction of a cent. Not only
this, but many of them have to be
petted and pampered and knuckled to
in order to get them to remain at all.
The question of help, both male and
female. upon the farm. is a serious one,
and farmers scarcely know where to
look for its solution. The distinctively
farm laborer seems to have well nigh
vanished.

In Praise Of Tobacco.

OF all the good things man has foun0
Scattered upon this planet round.
Tobacco surely holds its ground
A weed delicious:
No other green leaf yields 10 much
Delight; no flower has fragrance such:
No plant, it's virtue with a touch
OF something vicious.
A pipeful after breakfast when
l read the morning paper, then,
At luncheon one small Whit again
A tube of tissue:
And, after dinner a cigar,
An easy chair beside the jar
Wherein the good Havanas are.
Too close to miss you.
Life is at its best a journey brief.
And time pursues Vi like a thief.
But If one %cultivates the leaf
There is no hurry.
A friend, 1t cheers n on the way
And helps to lengthen out the day.
And keeps the hair from turning gray
With'care and worry.

YALE CRUsHEs TRINITY.
Six Touchdowns Won, by Use of
Twenty-Eight Men.

b1tC Sf ESIAb .-.
New Haven, Conn.,. Sept. 2s.-In two
very short halves, Yale's football eleven
literally crushed the Trinity eleven and
brushed them aside like sc~hoolboys, roll
ing up six t%ouctdowns and a total of So
points. For less than ten minutes the
veteran blue team was intact and substi-
tutes were sent in after almost every
scrimmage. Twenty-eight men played for
Yale.
Trinity got the ball only when Yale
fumbled or IN kicks. Yale played the
simplest football, using the lightest backs
in the string. even for line-bucking. and
only three times calling upon tackles to
carry the ball. Bloomer. who played first
at guard and later at tackle, worked out
in his old-time form and laid two or three
men at a time on their backs and repeat
eddy caught Trinity's backs behind the
line.
Kinney. on his side of the line. did SIM
liar execution. The substitute Yale ends
alone seemed to lack finish. Shevlin
played five minutes only.
From to-day's exhibition, imperfect as
1t necessarily was and lone against one
of the weakest teams on the schedule,
nothing can. be learned exclusively ex-
cept that in no spot in the rush line, ex-
cept possibly center rush, will the Yale
eleven lack the powerful attack 1t had
last year. The backs, Metcalf, Mitchell
and Farman, ran well, but were also well
defended, helped by the big forward.
Score: Yale, SIS; Trinity, 0.

he stood still. but George was too wise
for that. He did a graceful mop, with the
result hat Roth made a circuit Of the

Barclay. however, had made a great
play. although few realized It. He figured
out before the hit was mada that Roth
would cut the bases. and. consequently,
be called out. Roth must have been under

his city lave returned from a trip which
took them over twenty-four counties and
through 129 cities and towns. They have
brought back signatures of town officers
and many mementoes of their trip.
They started from st. Louis several
months ago and agreed not to sleep in
beds in the course of the trip OF to ride
a foot OF the way. Mrs Newly states
and that they received splendid treatment
along the way.
I'VE slept outdoors in all kinds of
weather and pulled 4 hand cart contain

experience has done us both good. We
went as far west as Ellis City, which is
about $50 miles west of Kansas City. We
returned by way of St. Joseph, Macon
City. Paris, Louisiana and st. Charles.
Neither OF US is any the worse for our
trip. We arrived Thursday evening, and
really enjoyed the excursion. We had
agreed before starting that we were to de-
pend upon the hospitality of those along
the route for our food, and we never
missed q meal
