POLITICS AND PHILANTHROPY.

The general impression that public
services are payable in political prefer
ment appears to be shared by the Ack-
lev monograph. which takes the peo-
ple of Iowa Falls to task after the
following fashion:
.Our neighbor, Iowa Falls, does
rood deal OF Wanting betimes in her
elains to superiority over other towns
h the county In progressiveness. We
are pleased to note the prosperity OF
that burg, and do so without jeasousy.
But while she has several very pro-
eressive citizens to whose efforts ana
enterprise the town mainly owes her
rapid growth. take one from among
them and the conditions might be ma
terially different. Mr.. e. S. Ellsworth
has been a generous contributor to Its
prosperity. Being a man OF wealth.
generous impulses, magnanimity and
superb executive ability, the town has
had the means required to foster its
growth. But how about reciprocity as
to announcement or gratitude to Its
helpful citizen: have It's citizens I'M
proved the opportunities to manifest
their appreciation of his distinguished
executive ability by honoring him with
public office? Had he been citizen of
any other town in the county he would
not only have been in the legislature.
but united efforts would have been
litical preferment."
The Photograph appears to have
fallen into the common error of assum-
ing that public Office is to be used as
an individual reward. 1t also seems
inferentially to have arrived at the err
roneous conclusion that all men desire
office. Both errors are most natural,
for most men do want orllce and most
candidates for office base their claims
the localities that control the votes
necessary to their election. But the
theory is all wrong nevertheless. 1t
prostitutes the Office ana cheapens the
man.
Gene" Ellsworth. as his friendly
townsmen call him, Is a unique mill
ionaire. His ambitious are not politi-
cal and his benefactions to his, home
city have been actuated by public spirit
and a generous local pride, not by
selfish or sordid motives. His gifts
were not purchases and the people of
Iowa Falls have done NJ. Ellsworth the
justice to accept them in the spirit they
were given. In so doing they have paid
him compliment and silently ex-
pressed an appreciation above any pos
sihle political preferment. That a
millionaire should build colleges and
hospitals and create parks for the pub
tic without a thought of political bar
ter or mercenary advantage Is vastly
to his credit. 1t is quite as much to the
credit of Iowa Falls that it has accepted
them without asking. What does Ellis
worth want?"
Mr.. Ellsworth has received more
from the people of Iowa Falls than he
has given. There is no casn value to
be placed on sincere personal regard
His books will show the amount of his
money outlay, but the universal respect
and liking the people of Iowa Falls
bear toYards e. s. Ellsworth is not to

rhe Serpent 'rh::: Talked Like Man
In John Asnton's Curious Creatures
of Zoology" there is a quotation from
"a little Lathe booke printed at Wen
ma in the yeare 1851" which tells a
most wonderful story. Ashton quotes
as follows: There was found in a
move or rycke of corn almost as many
snakes, adders aud other serpentes as
there was sheafes, SO as no one sheaf
could he removed but there presently
appeared a heape Of ougly and fierce
serpentes. The countrie men deter
myned to set fire upon the barne and
so attempted to do. but in yalne, for
the straw would take no fire. although
they laboured with all their Wits and
policye to burn them up.
