To the Rockwell Photograph at is
absolutely shocking to think that the
prohibition party contains a member
who would in moment OF thoughtless-
ness "lnoclI down" ten or fifteen thous-

encroachment of socialism," declares
the Knoxville Journal. 1T has declared
it's purpose to deal vigorously yet care
fully with the trusts. With the entire
machinery OF the federal government in
It's hands. it must now make good its
promises. The next two years should
see not only careful revision of the
tariff, but also additional legislation
along the line of curbing the power OF
the trusts and great corporations"
THE question Is not when, but how
the tariff shall be revised" says the

the new Iowa road law is a good thing.
1t results in more work for q given
amount OF road tax and in work or
better quality. The old road law was
about as inefficient and wasteful of
substance as any that could have been
devised. 1t was suited to an early
day, when there was no money In the
hands Of the farmer but is an outlived
relic in this day, when the farmer is
so .numerously in the loan business
that he is making the savings bank
trouble to hold it's own"
"The people in Port Arthur may not
be having as good a time as some OF
us" admits the Sioux City Journal,
"but there are redeeming features. For
instance they aren't bothered by life In
surance agents"
"That there are some tariff changes
desirable goes without saying for no
tariff law was ever perfect ana law
is no sooner made and put into effect
but deficiencies can be seen In It," con-
fesses the Cedar Rapids Republican.
Noting that both the Sioux City
Journal and the Des Moines Capital are
hoping the biennial elections amend
ment is safe, the Council Bluffs Non
pareil takes this unanimity to mean
chat both Mr.. Perkins and Mr.. Young
have commenced operations on the
theory that there will be no governor
elected in Iowa until 1906.
The Marion Register says: Here
there and everywhere there are men
with a grievance, men who are worry
ing over disappointments, men who are
mad because things did not come their
way and went the other mans way.
So runs the world away. Some have a
lust grievance. But the world don't
even care about that. And the world
won't help revenge the wrongs they
have suffered. 1t is too busy looking
after its own affairs. We say the world.
of course we, mean the people. we
wish It were not so. But it is, always
has been. always will be. 1t is fate.
We must bear the ills we have each
for himself. We must be our own Dur
den bearers First take things as they
come. Do our best. Win If we can.
Lose out if we do"

eign immigration was at the rate of
100000 to 100000 per year. This year
over million immigrants have landed
on our shores and it is safe to expect
from six To seven millions within the
ten years from the last census. Fig
ured at 20 per cent increase and some
we may expect to make room for sew
enteen millions of new people in ten
years and the population of all of the
nine states above mentioned is only
seventeen millions today.
Those of us who are doing business
in the Mississippi valley today, and
think that we have a grand territory
in nine or ten of these middle western
states, can get ready for u business in
the next ten years based on popula-
ton increased by an amount equal to
the present population of our nine
states. But that is not all. Many
business man today has a career of
twenty years before him. The next
national census is going to show 93
millions Of people, and at the same
rate of increase the census of 1920,
millions or an increase Of nearly so
per cent in the twenty years. In 9TH
ho pf nnnti1n-
ton located in Indiana business men
today can size up in their own minds
the number Of people living in all the
states OF the union east of Indiana or
in all the states west of Indiana and
add that number of people to the whole
population to get a fair idea of the
field for business just sixteen years
from now. Farmers who want to spec
ulate in lands for their children or for
their old age can do the same. And
there is no note of alarm in the pros
pect, either, for, whereas our popula-
ton at the last census was Fl per
square MILE and in twenty years Will
be 81 per square mile, the population
of France today is 1SS per square mile
and of the Netherlands 1853 per mile.
A noted English observer travelling in

AN EVEN TRADE.

| When a young woman in Killarney
Ireland sent a requisition for a nus
band to an Irish newspaper editorial
notice began to prick it's ears. The
| young woman wanted a young man,
handsome as Apollo, courageous as
Michael Dwyer, subtle as Michiavelli,
patriotic as Robert Emmett, enthusiast
tic as the organizer of the Jesuits and
patient as Job. With all these quail
ties she requires that he accept not
with resignation but pleasure the pres
ence of his mother-in and six OF
the young womans sisters as members
of his family. The nerve or hopeful
ton, and editors all over the world
have been arguing the case with her
and each other and trying to persuade
her that she doesn't want the man she
describes as desirable.
The case is one that seems easy of
settlement In the first place there
isn't any such man, and it there were
there isn't woman on earth who de-
serves him. The young woman as
sumes too much for herself and her
sex. She hasn't catalogued what she
has to trade for the kind of man she
is in the market for. Her demand for
everything desirable while she propos-
es to make the other party trade sight
unseen" sheds considerable light on
the old maid question. There is no
assurance that she can cook or keep
house. She may have a devil of an
Irish temper. She may be slatternly
in her habits and go dirty and drag
gled with her shoes unlaced until al
ter breakfast. The only thing certain
is that she has, the nerve to ask for
a demigod for husband.
All girls have these dreams of trad
ing an ordinary sort Of young woman
for a husband half hero and half angel.
Such dreams invariably fail to come
true. MOST girls expect loo AluSA.
They set up statue of pure marble in
a market place and expect it to re-
main unspotted. They have yet to
learn that all our ideals grow speck-
led with age. They all want wealthy,
refined, intellectual patient and hand
some husbands. But only few get
them. 1t is well that they do not. The.
average man or woman who married
an ideal that wears well is likely to
find his own position an awkward one.
1t is hard to live up to an ideal. 1t is
harder still to live with one.
What our girls need is more prac-
teal training. Their minds should be
disabused of the idea that a demi-
god is waiting for them somewhere
along life's highway. They should be
given a common sense view of mar
rage and it's duties and burdens. 1t
is the ideal, subtle, handsome, patri-
otto. brave, enthusiastic, ETC., ETC., that
goes oftenest wrecked to the divorce
court. Let the manageable young
woman expect nothing more than an
even trade. She will lie lucky if she
gets it.

THE CENSUS of TRANSPORTATION.

5nileage totaled 2O7.603 miles or seven
miles of railroad to each 100 square

were this mileage equally distributed
no farm would be farther than ten
miles by highway from a railroad and
