Mother knows a little girl
Mother won't tell who
Helps with all the many things
Mother has to do.
Sings to baby when he cries,
Builds his shaky blocks;
Irons grandma's neckerchiefs,
Folds up fathers socks;
Picks the berries, dusts the hall
Neat as neat can be,
Draws out %grandpa's easy chair,
Sets the plates for tea;
Buttons little sisters dress,
Lets her come and play
When another little girl
Sometimes runs away.

Don't you wish you knew
Which it is who helps her so?
Mother won't tell who.

is not because others have spent more
money or have formed more perfect

has overlooked any of the details to

ne came out openly and spent money
without stint In order to satisfy his
ambition. The American people, be
they of republican, democratic, popu.
list or any other persuasion, are still
Americans. They are free to think
and act for themselves and in import
ant matters they will, in most cases,
act as their judgment dictates The
idea that Hearst, in throwing his
money wildly around, was using it in
the furtherance of methods not en-
tirely legitimate took firm hold on the
American mind early in the fight and
1t has never let go. This has beaten
Hearst. The American people, de-
spite the many accusations of corrup-
ton in politics, will not allow the bar
tering Of the highest office in their
nation and they have demonstrated
this in the defeat of Hearst.
In the st. Louis convention Hearst's
name is seldom heard. Only when
some California delegate OF one from
some other state which has been
prominent in his behalf starts dem
onstration is the great crowd at the
convention city reminded of his exist

fallen a victim to a procurer from st.
Louis and has been lured to that city
for immoral purposes. She is but
seventeen years of age and never has
the slightest breath of suspicion put
blemish upon her reputation. If she
is found to have been made victim
by some oily tongued, constituencies
criminal, such as have been infesting
the middle west for several months
and the procurer himself is found, no
punishment too severe can be meted
out to ham.
A case has just been finished in the
Polk county courts and the result was
imprisonment for a man and woman
who entteed two innocent young girls
from their home on promise to give
them work in Des Moines, only to de.
coy then, into low resort, from which
place, fortunately, they were able at
once to 9nake their escape The Judge
refused ID allow the defendants to es
cape on G. technicality, saying that the
evidence showed that one of the worst
crimes III the history of the county had
been coGamitted and the guilty must
suffer.
1t is s,oped that the suspicious en-.
tertained by the friends and relatives
of the Appanoose county girl are
wrong ald that the mystery of her
disappearance may be solved in some
other why. However, if she, like sc
many unfortunate young women who
nave apparently dropped out of exist
ence, hab fallen a victim to the wiles
of prosurer, the authorities of Appa
moose county should never give UP
until they have found the wretch who
is responsible and brought him to jus
tice. There is punishment for such
men and women and the only way tc
prevent this trafficking in human be
ings is to arrest and prosecute every
guilty one, sparing no effort to have
inflicted the severest punishment al
lowed by law.

THE GOVERNMENTS 10.

THE GOVERNMENTS LOTTERY
The registration for land in the Rose.
bud Indian agency of South Dakota
which is now in progress. sets a new
marx for events of this kind. 1t is
one OF the last in the great western
country and by far the most quiet and
peaceful thus far. The United States
government, which has so often pro.
hiblted every form of lottery, has turn
ed to that system for a means of dis.
tributing the lands without bloodshed.
The day when the boundaries of the
territory to be opened to homestead
ers was crowded with a fighting mass
OF humanity and the races for claims
often ended in murder, has passed.
The scenes of the Oklahoma opening
are not repeated at Bonesteel and will
not be repeated again. The govern
ment's lottery has done away with it
and the new system of registration and
drawing gives everyone an even
chance.
The registration for lands has been
in progress two days and will continue
until July %. Then the drawing will
be conducted. The fortunate ones will
secure the best lands, regardless of
their numbers on the registration
books, and the unfortunate ones, even
though they may have been among the
hrst to register, will find that that did
not improve their chances. -
There has been murder among the
throngs gathering for this opening.
but 1t has been because Of outside
gambling carried on by the professions
al grafters attracted to the Rosebud
opening by the fact that each prospec-
tive settler must be supplied with a
dollar for each acre of land he expects
to have. Upon the weak-willed the
gamblers have played, and there have
been tragedies, but the number of
deaths has not been worthy of mention
In comparison to the awful results of
some of the openings of years ago in

THE BOY AND THE FARM.

Ii the farmer boy had few reasons
for leaving his rural home ten years
ago he has almost none now. There
has been remarkable revolution in
country life and it is still in progress.
The farm is getting nearer and nearer
to the city daily. Where two years
ago the characteristic sounds were the
growing of the chanticleer and the hum
of the reaper the telephone has taken
its place, and the mail carrier has be-
come as familiar a figure in nearly
every farming community as was the
sewing machine agent or the wander
ing tinsmith few years ago. There
are now $4,000 routes over which mail
is delivered daily, this number having
been the result of the expansion policy
of the postoffce departm ent since Jan
uary 1, 1899, when there were only
200 routes. The inter-urban line, which
is now beginning to invade Iowa and
other states equally as far west, is
another powerful link in the chain
which is drawing the city and the coun-
try constantly closer.
The advantages being gained by the
farm are duly appreciated by the boy.
A few years ago the cry was annually
raised that the boy was leaving the
farm. Now that cry is seldom heard
and when 1t Is the reason can general
ly be found to be no other than the
boys fondness for the glare and din Of
city life. On the other hand, city boys
are going to the country. The new
advantages that have brought rural life
so close to the city are drawing cards
for these "made-t o-order" farmers. The
agricultural schools take their part in
making the farmer boy appreciate his
home, too, and the large attendance
at these institutions all over the coun-
try is good evidence in favor of the
argument that the next generation will
see vast Improvement in the way of
exemplary farms.
Let these improvements continue.
They are part Of the progress Of the
great nation. They will insure the
best care of the countrys great agri-
cultural resources by the coming men,
their children and their children's chill
dren. Another generation. and there
will be no fear that the farmer boy
will leave the farm. The tendency has
never been very dangerous one but
1t has been made to appear SO by COM
binations of various circumstances The
solution has come, however, in the nat
ural march Of progress, and 1t is well

HEARsr,s WATERLOO.

Can any good come out of the
democratic party?" was the question
asked by a respondent editor after
the panic of '93 had left the country
in worse condition than for many
years. Easily can he be answered in
the affirmative. If the democratic
party had done or should do nothing
more that might entitle it to credit
throughout its career it deserves to
be congratulated upon its refusal to
be lured with money into nominating
q man whose sole recommendation
when viewed through sane eyes, is
that he has money enough to carry
him through hard campaign.
After all has been said Of corruption
in American politics 1t cannot be
claimed that any man can buy the
presidency, the highest office in the
gift Of any nation on earth. This has
been conclusively proven this week
by the utter failure Of William Ran
dolph Hearst in his efforts to secure
the democratic nomination. For two
years or more he has been laying his
plans. He has spent money lavishly.
He has employed men for months in
every part Of the country to work in
lis interests. He has sent his papers
Broadcast throughout the land and has
frrrished money for state and district
campaigns in order to have others I'M
der obligations to him. The amount
Of money he has spent in his wild ef-
lorts to secure the nomination is
known only to himself. But he has
failed utterly.

IHE REPUBLICAN sEMI.cENTEN
- MAI

FIFTY years ago, at a meeting held
IN jackson. Mich. the republican party
was organized. From q small begin.
ming 1t has grown to be the greatest
power in politics in America. It num-
nors among its millions Of adherents,
the. greatest men of the age. 1t rep
resents the safe, careful yet progressive
methods of administration of public
affa1rs. 1t has lived for fifty years
and IS only now beginning its greatest
successes. Its history is the history
OF American progress. 1t can show
more forward. steps and few backward
ones than generally fall to the lot of
a'similar organization.
Born Of a spirit of equality, the re.
publican party's organization may we'll
be. called revival of the nation. Just
as, IN l776, the colonists who met in
Philadelphia and framed the Declara-
ton of independence declared their be.
lief in the theory that all men are
born free and equal, SO those who met
In Jackson on July 6, 1854, declared
that that theory should hold good in
the United States and that all men
should be free and equal, regardless of
race, color, religion or previous con-
dition of servitude.
The republican party was organized
to fight slavery. Other matters were
overlooked in the great national dis.
pute over the system that cursed tbe
land. that allowed one man to sell or
buy other men simply because the
formers skin was white and that of
the human merchandise black. The
other evils of slavery. too well known
to need detail here, were as we'll or
better known then. Abolition of slay.
cry was the first object of the re.
publican party and with that as their
motto the founders of the party fought
an uphill fight but finally won.
