PERKINS ON CURTIS.
ISioux CITY Journal.1

/
| Evidence is fast accommodating that
| the distinguished William e. Curtis,
despite his first column, first page
| franchise, is really made Of common
Journalistic clay: in fact, of rather
commoner material than would be de-
sirable in newspaper writer without
a reputation. When the eminent gen.
tleman came out to Iowa to do the
republican state convention his pedes-
tai received bad shock or two, and
since the returns from his Iowa tour
are all In it looks as if 1t had been
thru seismic disturbance complicated
with an acute manifestation of lorna
diensis Kansasticus.
Mr. Curtis seemed anxious to roast
few things, and he didn't make Il
bad guess when he tackled the Des
Moines river front and the capital
city's paving. He might even have
merited sympathy in some criticism of
insurance methods of some Des Moines
concerns. But he went farther and
generalized more broadly than the
facts warranted and as a result he is
denounced on all hands as utterly in
accurate and unreliable. After he had
handed several large pieces of baggage
to the Des Moines insurance industry,
without any particular discrimination
he went up to Minnesota and inter-
viewed Insurance Commissioner Dearth
of that state. Mr. Dearth is not known
as especially friendly to the Des Moines
companies. He has made a good deal
of trouble for some Of them, and has
insisted that they do business in Min
nesota at least, according to the rules
prevailing there. In fact IL Mr. Curtis
had been looking for just the right man
to assist him In administering a casti-
CATION to the bad element in Iowa in
surance he couldn't have done better
than go to Mr.. Dearth.
But In his zeal Mr. Curtis manufac-
tured an interview for the Minnesota
commissioners. Mr.. Dearth was made
to say things which sustained Mr.. Cur
tis charges but which Mr.. Dearth
now repudiates. In long article In a
st. Paul paper Mr.. Dearth repudiates

Following the Hand.
Life was joy when was boy,
In the days of long ago,
When eye and ear could see and hear
The things it was good to know,
But the kind old earth. once glad WITH
mirth
And pleasures high and grand,
Seems stale and tame since became
Too big to follow the band.
Yet dare say earth holds today
About as much or more
OF JOY and cheer. right now and hereS
Than ever it held before,
But by our pride we're now denied.
Gods gifts on every hand;
We've grown too proud to- follow thc
crowd
Too big to follow the band.
I'd like to stray in careless way
Through the broad green fields Of youth
And wander back along LIES track
To the blissful springs OF truth.
I'd like to trade my woes. self made,
And the cares that come to men
For the keen delight OF boys glad right
To follow the band again.

ceived unusually good tillage and be all
the better another year for any crop
wanted. The secret of success by this
plan is based almost wholly upon the
persistent, thorough use of the heavy
disk harrow, which chops the very life
out of the quack grass roots. 1t is a
hard task, but If once thoroughly done,
that is the end of the hated quaek
grass.

Galveston audiences seldom have a

as the play deserved. An Eye for an
