The Des Moines Register and Lead
is an excellent paper, but there is too
much of it. 1t is mouthful and two
gasps in addition. The Register is a
good sensible name and the Leader is
another. But the Register and Lead
er hitched up together is an imposition
upon a busy nation - particularly
when "Des Moines" is hitched to the
front of it, We often start to quote
from this paper but by the time we
have got the name written out and
have gone home for lunch I'VE have
forgotten what we we're going to say.
The Register and Leader is daily
using up many dollars, worth of time
throughout the country by compelling
its admirers to wade through veri-
table slough of name in order to
speak of it and praise it. The paper
should hold caucus and amalgamate
itself.
There are many other papers which
have the same trouble. There is the

Helen Gould who has been credited
with being generous contributor to
the fund for the prosecution of the
Smoot case, is now said to have given
nothing to this cause but her SYM
pathy. 1t is interesting to note just
why this is. When the Roberts case
was up in the house few years ago
Miss Gould gave $4,000 to the fund
to prosecute the case for his ejectment.
The Mormons retaliated by going
after the Gould railroad lines and
Helen has naturally, become a little
more cautious.

President Eliot of Harvard, who has
just turned 20, is a fine example of
what wholesome observance of laws of
health will do for the physical man.
He walks from six to ten miles every
day and, whenever possible, takes a
long bicycle ride before breakfast.
To this, with regularity in eating and
sleeping, he attributes his splendid
physical and mental condition. DR..
Eliot is the oldest college president in
America, having been at the head of
Harvard for thirty-fve years.

God Bless Our Dad.

We happened in home the other
night and over the parlor door saw
the legend worked in letters of red:
"What is home without a mother"'
Across the room was another brief
God bless our home"
Now, what's the matter with God
bless our dad?' He gets up early,
lights the fires, boils an egg, grabs
his dinner pail and wipes off the dew
of the dawn with his boots while many
a mother is sleeping. He makes the
weekly hand-out for the butcher, the
grocer, the milkman and baker, and
his little pile is badly worn before he
has been home an hour. He stands of
the bailiff and keeps the rent paid up.
If there is noise during the night
dad is kicked in the back and made to
60 down stairs to find the burglar and
kill him. Mother darns the socks ir
the first place and the needles and the
yarn afterward. Mother does UP. the
fruit; we'll dad bought it all, and jars
and sugar cost like the mischief.
Dad buys chickens for Sunday din
ner, carves them himself and draws
the neck from the ruins after everyone
else is served. "What is home with
out a mother?'' Yes, that is all right
but what is home without father
Ten chances to one it is boarding
house, father is under slab and the
landlady is the widow. Dad heres's t.

lots of 'em-but you're all right, ant

Dallas people who attended the
basket ball game in Monmouth, We'd
nesday night, say that the Wash
ington team resorted to the same
brutal tactics employed in the Dallas
game to win. The first half was COM
paratively clean and the Washington
team was only two points ahead Of
the Normal boys when the closing
whistle was blown. In the second
half, big Mcdonald went into the
game and at once proceeded to start
rough house. He threw four goals in
four minutes, and had things all his
own way throughout the remainder of
the game. The playing was rough in
the extreme. Crowley, the Normal
center, received blow that broke off
one tooth and loosened three more
