Why Love Iowa."

In the recent Worlds Fair edition
of the Des Moines Capital Ex-Speaker
David B. Henderson, who has return
ed to Iowa to live. answers the ques-
ton, Why Love Iowa" in the fol-
lowing beautiful language:
1.-THE question assumes that do
love Iowa Right Lafe / do, and
will until die. I love her heroes of
liberty and law. l love her farms and
homes of happy people. l love her
thrifty shops and the hardy men who
toll in them and aid TO work out
the great destiny of great people.
"Why Do Love Iowa" Because
I cannot help it and would hate myself
if l failed for one moment to love and
tenderly cherish all that she has been
to us. all that she is and ever will be.
l love her prairies. her hills and val
leys, her rich unequalled soil. Her
pure waters are 20 my taste. Her
flowers remind me of my boyhood and
their odors and rich, simple beauty
are fresh, pure and lovable as her
country homes and all her girls In
country. town or city. l love the
schools and colleges, the churches and
univeI stiles that make Iowa impregn-
able to attacks of vice and crime.
like yes love- her old fathers
and fruitful, noble women. Can't re-
member when the love began, but
know it will not end until do.
"Why Do Love Iowa?" You ask.
Why do l love my mother is just as
easy to answer, il the soul is sound,
and mine is, l believe. l love Iowa
bpecause she ever loved me. That is
selfish answer, but a true one.
love her because she is great state
and thinking state. There are NJ
truer. more enlightened people in any
state in the union.

Gone TO Mason City.

Seldom has the departure of any
family caused more universal regret
than that of Supt E. l.. Coffeen and
family, who left last Thursday for
their new home and work at Mason
City. Prof Coffeen is Decorah pro-
duct in whom Decorah has always
taken pride. He was reared here.
graduating from the high school and
later took the course at Carleton Col
lege, Northfield, Mimi. and since
entering upon the profession of teach
ing has been successful beyond the
ordinary. The people of Waukon were
just as loath to lose him as We are.
But he showed his capacity for a
larger field here. filling the position
Of superintendent with universal
praise and satisfaction. and has passed
to a higher and wider range of work,
which he will perform with the same
efficiency, thoroughness and ability he
has evidenced throughout his life.
The people of Mason City will find
him congenial. industrious. capable
and popular he will soon make close
friendships with his pupils and their
parents. and will take his place there
as everywhere among the busy people
of the world as a man Of honor. indus
try and integrity. That these predic-
tions may be fulfilled to the letter is
tie hope of all who know him.

A WORD TO THE CANDIDATES.

The republicans of Winnesheik coun-
ty are perhaps just at this time alike
fortunate and unfortunate-fortuna
In that at the convention next Satur-
dav there will be presented to them
an abundance of good material from
which to select the important county
officers, and unfortunate because the
strife between the various candidates
while as yet friendly, has nevertae-
less become quite intense. and the ex-
preston of the hope that all will con-
tinue to work together for the main
tainance of party unity and harmony
may not be out of place at this time.
The approaching national campaign
demands and deserves the very best
service of republicans in every school
district in the nation. In order to ac-
complish the best results absolute
harmony within the party must pre-
vail. 1t is therefore greatly to be
hoped that every candidate who goes
into the convention next Saturday will
do so with a we'll grounded knowledge
that but one candidate for each office
can be named; that whoever he is, he
will have been the choice of a majori-
ty of the people of the county, ex-
pressed through their chosen represen-
tatives. and that whatever his fortune,
il is his duty to accept it gracefully
as his party's mandate. There should
be no grumbling on his part if he is
one of the unfortunates, for he will
have company, and he should have
counted this as possible cost OF the
campaign before he entered. There
will be many crushed ambitions, and
this very thing will give each candi-
date an opportunity to show his mettle.
for we believe that each nominee will
be chosen because he is the best man
for the position and any defeated can
didate who will show his disappoint-
ment by threats of revenge or attempts
to injure the party or it's candidate
will thus show his utter unfitness for
the position he sought and lost. There
are other years and other campaigns
to come. there will be county officers
elected again, and the same thing will
be gone through with many times IN
the future. This is not an extraordi-
nary occasion, other than that there
sSe a greater number of fcandidates
then usual this fall. Let us therefore
be rational and temperate. seeking on.
ly the fulfillment of ambition through
honorable and upright methods. and
the conserving of the best interests OF
the party at all times. Let us go into
the convention resolved to abide by its
decision without dissent, with the
hope that in each instance the best
man will win, and the determination
to do all in our power to secure his
election at the polls next November
by large majority.

have thrown in marked copy OF

thoughtful of them, such an elegant
reminder of the sacred but discarded
principles of the great expounder OF
democracy would seem to be especially
appropriate at the present time. 1t is
hoped these gifts will be duly appreci'
ated and the delicate suggestion con-
veyed by those patriotic citizens OF
color will be heeoed by the honored
gentlemen to whom they have been
