He is farmer 60 years OF age and
rich. His principles have always been
to take up everything in sight. more
land. larger crops. more buildings
His gait has been the 'get there"
that kills. Overwork killed his third
wife five years ago His sons slid
away from home at the first opportun-
ity. his daughter married an old stick
of man just to get away from home.
His sons and worthless son-in law have
engaged their lawyers and are now
sitting on the fence like buzzards
waiting for the old man to die so they
can divide his wealth among them.
There will be large funeral one of
these days, 70 carriages and all that
will be the END OF the old man. Does
it pay to work night and day, save up
lot of money. and never spend a
cent? Does it?

Iowa Poets Attention.

There is a movement on foot TO or
ganize Iowa literary people into an
association for the purpose of bringing
Hawkeye writer's into greater public
recognition. One aim is to secure for
the State Reading Circle two books.
one composed of poetical contributions
and one of prose contributions by Iowa
authors. Poets and prose writer's who
are interested should write at once for
further particulars to Herbert j. Met
calf, Lansing, Iowa. author of River
side Echoes" or to Homer p. Branch,
Westgate, Iowa, author of "Bill's
Sohoolma am, :" 1.-The Farmer Jones
Poems" etc. Also send addresses of
as many Iowa literary people as you
may know, and secure TO this move
ment the strongest operation pos
sible.

A lawyer in courtroom may call a
man liar, scoundrcl, villain or thief
and no one makes complaint when
court has adjourned. If newspaper
prints such reflections on mans
character there is libel suit or dead
editor. And this must be owing to
the fact that people believe what an
editor says; what lawyer says cuts
no figure.

Possibly the negro citizens of the
United States are as much justified as
any body of electors In forming a
separate political party. Certainly
they have something at stake. someth
ing to defend. in politics, if no further
atte mpt is to be made by the great
parties. nor by the courts, for that
matter, TO enforce the 10th amendment
to the constitution. Under the cir
cumstances, the performance of the so.
called national Negro liberty party,
which, at st. Louis, has named can
didates for president and vice presi-
dent, is strictly logical. even if it
must be regarded as futile. In any
event, it serves we'll as protest. The
platform contains one sharp thrust in
the plank which urges non-i interference
in the affairs of other countries until
the government is able to protect all
of its citizens at home.

According TO the daily papers,
Bishop Potter of the Protestant Epis-
copal church of the diocese of New
York, has gone into the saloon busi-
ness. he having established saloon
called the Subway Tavern. in Gotham.
Every drink known TO the saloon
world, intoxicating or otherwise, is
to be on sale at the bar, and free
lunches are TO be served without
charge with every glass of beer The
saloon was opened with an address by
Bishop Potter and was dedicated with
religious services, which closed with
singing by the audience, praise God
from whom all blessings flow. This
singular action of the New York pre-
late is said to be copied after a similar
experiment by lord of England. 1t
is reported that the church repudiates
the whole thing and some of its bishops
denounce it in the most vigorous
terms. Bishop Nicholson of Milwau-
kee declares himself humiliated by the
action of Bishop Potter. and insists
that it must be interpreted as purely
personal matter and the Protestant
Episcopal church relieved FROM all re-
sponsibility in connection with it. It
will probably be short lived affair.

Three thrones in Europe want boys.
And if the wants aren't supplied this
summer there will be three downcast
queen mothers and as many irate king
fathers. 1t is bit curious, the per-
sistercy girls have shown in forcing
their society on the royal households
of Russia and Italy, though it does
accord with the general misunder-
standing of the contraryness that is in
human nature. Not that little girls
aren't the incest things in the world
everyone knows they are--but for
dynastic purposes italy, Russia and
Holland would like BOYS.
