from the evident sincerity of his pur
poses and his desire for that which is
best in the nation, state and his par.

been shaken. His effort is always to

Yates the amenities rather than the
asperities of life. This trait of his
character was never more strongly
manifest than at present. In reply to
Governor Cummins, who strutted into
the arena brandishing his sword, and
like Goliath of old, breathing out de-
fiance to the armies of Isreal, he, like
the mild and gentle shepherd boy,
without pomp or display, hurls from
his sling little stone which seems to
have laid Mr.. Cummins low, in the
form of a proposition that Senators
Allison and Dolliver and Governor
Cummins, if he so desires, should be
three of the delegates at large from
Iowa, and that he would not allow his
name to be considered for the fourth
place, if it was likely to cause trouble
in the party.
Whatever may have been said of
aim, he has never been charged with
disloyalty to his party or friends, nor
with bad faith in his political actions.
His word passes at par with his enc,
mics as well as friends.
He is man of whom Iowa should
be proud.

After the adjustment of the canteen
some officers acknowledged that it

demonstrated the vast srnerioritv of
that legislation.
1t is delightful to meet so many en-
ergetic, honest and in many cases, re-
ligious Americans in charge of the
various departments. The Bilibid

ter strong enough to endure tempta-

a rRIeuTE TO M. A. HANNA.

There was something great in the
makeup of the departed senator, great
as a statesman, great as politician,
great as a party leader, and in other
important lines and duties AS presi-
dent of the Civic Federation he was
vigorous worker. A part of the
workingmen of the United States and
of the masses may have misunder-
stood this remarkable man. Why?
Because they had not studied him
and judged him in mis- proper light
Yet he was worthy of being called
Americas Great Labor Emancipator.
He was the true workingman's
friend. as no man took a deeper in
terest in the workingman's position
that the late senator We must re
member that the senator was a great
employer of labor and so ne did bus
mess with employed labor and organ
izations for over thirty years. Sen
ator Hanna believed in workingmen's
rights; also in labor unions, and as
an admirer of the departed senator l
tried to see and read his talks and
speeches on the labor question. The
more read, the more it kindled a
warmth in my heart of admiration 10
wards the great industrial defender
of the 18th century.
True the senator was conservative,
yet frank and just in his remarks. At
the Civic Federation held in Chicago
in May, 1908, we find such honorable
speakers as DR.. E. C. Hauch, John
Mitchell, Franklyn McYey. President
Harper of Chicago university, Bishop
Follows, Judge Tullys and Senator
Hanna. Senator Hanna addressed
the Federation on the subject, "Ele-
walton OF Labor" He remarked That

by petitions to work against the prop
osition. While it may be true that a
great many of these protests origi-
nate with the country store keepers,
who fear that the working of such a
system would interfere with their bus
mess and work to the interest of the
mail order houses in the cities, an
other source Of objection to the prop
osition is unquestionably the express
companies of the country. These
companies have opposed the PROPOSE
ton ever since it was first brought
up in congress.
On the other hand there are inter-
ests working in favor or the proposed
legislation. Paid Hobbies are in the
national capital busily engaged in
bringing forward arguments in favor
of the plan and though there is no
probability Of immediate success, this
lobby continues to urge it upon the
national legislators.
Ex-Congressman Loud, Of Califor-
mia, discusses this subject at length
in an article appearing recently in the
North American Review. Mr.. Loud
was long chairman OF the house post
Office committee and by reason Of the
information and experience gained
during that time ana his knowledge
of postal affairs, mis- statements are
exceptionally interesting. He OPP
poses the express business under the
management of the government, be-
cause it's adoption would involve the
organization of an entirely new
branch of business, the providing or
large and expensive ware houses in
all the large cities of the country, the
ownership and use of vast drayage
and wagon systems, also an entirely
new system of transmission, unless
the advocates of the measure propose
to carry the parcels post matter on
fast trains with mail at maximum
cost, which would be improbable be-
cause of delay in loading and unload
ing.
Mr.. Loud comedies that the express
business is profitable to the compa-
MES but he does not agree that the
government could make it pay by
charging the same rates they do. His
reason for this position is good Le-
cause the government can do nothing
as cheaply as can the private compa-
n.y. Mr.. Loud cites as an instance
the money order business conducted
by the postoffice department and the
express companies. The government
nets loss, while the express compa-
MES make a profit. Advocates of the
measure cite England, France ana
Germany as to the success of the par
GELS post system. But In these coun-
tries short distances and dense popu-
lations prevail. Mr.. Loud states that
he has been informed, too, that Eng
land operates this system at a loss.
The postal system or the country
has enough burdens to bear now with
cut being loaded down with others
especially those designed only to
help big department stores and mail
order houses.

The Kansas Experiment station in
reporting upon feeding dried blood as
q preventative of scours, says:
"Dried blood is not only good for .
weak calf, but is an excellent remedy
for any calf subject to scours. With
the 70 head OF young calves under ex-
pertinent at the Kansas station during
the past year, there has not been q
single case Of scours that dried blood
has failed to check.
"In feeding dried blood, teaspoon
full at q feed Is a great plenty. This
should be continued until the scours
disappear. In case Of weak calf the
allowance may be gradually increased

the calf will be unable to get 1t. 1t
may be stirred in the milk while the
