BENEFITS OF THE FLOOD.
Drove the Rodents, Gophers and Rab
bits From the Plains.
Topeka Cap1taI.I

Topeka SdpiLdl.I
The greatest disaster which ever WIS.,
tied Topeka. was the flood of last sum-
mer. Occasionally some one discovers
that the flood resulted in some good.
One thing which is a fact, however, and
which is blessing to the people OF the
valley, is that the mice, moles, gophers
and rabbits have not bothered the dis
trict which was flooded.
Prior to the flood, the stores, fac
tories, dwellings, granaries, and all
buildings in the valley were overrun
with rats and mice. Now it IS so sell
dom that the people who live in the
district which was flooded see
mouse or a rat that the fact is COM
mented upon.
When the water got into the build
ings along the valley, the rats and mice
tried to get away. Some Of them sue
ceeded, but most Of them were drown
ed. Many Of the rodents got into the
upper stories of the houses. but they
could get nothing to eat and In their
efforts to find food they were drowned.
After the flood the ground was covered
with soft mud for months. The ro-
dents attempted to get out Of the plac-
es of safety they had found during the
flood. and went to seek something to
eat. They died in the soft mud.
The driving out of the rats and mice
was a blessing, but that was nothing
compared to the benefit the farmers
all along the Kaw valley received by
the death of the moles and gophers.

gopher IN the valley, where the land

The United States Senate.

There is a popular impression that
the United State senate is largely
composed of men who have been In
that body q very long time, if not
running back a generation. This idea
is dispeled by the facts which show
J that there are but seventeen senators
who We're in service prior to 1893.
There are only nine senators who have
last few years good many of the men
who fggled in national affairs during
war times and in the en-year-period
of reconstruction after the war have
dropped out of public view from one
reason or another.
Senator Allison is the nestor of the
senate, having begun his service in
1878. Next in length of service comes
Senator Cockrell, with two years less
to his credit, and third, Senator Nor
gan. who began his senatorial work in
1877, and his present term will not end
until 1907, with his reelection practi-
cally assured. Then comes Senator
Plat of Connecticut, 1879; Hale, Hajw-
ley, Frye and Aldrich, 1881; Cullom,
1885, Teller and Berry, 1885; Bate,
Daniel and Stewart, 1887; Gallinger.

CARELESS CHARITY.

In the evidence given before the
court during a trial in a neighboring
county 1t was brought out that pro-
fessed home for INDECENT ex-pmests In
another state had had but one occu-
pant in six years. and he had stayed but
few days. How much money had been
donated and collected for this tenant
less s.home" the evidence failed to bring
oul, but the mere fact that 1t poses as
charitable institution suggests that
mere or less money has been given to
Its support by charitably inclined peo-
pie, ignorant of the true facts in the
case.
Investigation in a large city not long
ags, brought out the fact that certain
solicitors for charity and charitable In
stitutions of one kind and another
made excellent salaries at the work.
Twenty or more earned about $2,4o0
each annually as commissions paid
thsm in percentages ON sums collect-
ed. Few people of any class In Iowa
have escaped the touch of the man or
weman who solicits charity. Recorder
Goff, of New York City, famous for his
philanthropy and knowledge of existing
conditions asserts that there are too

Atlanta Journal.

The present center Of negro population,
however, as fixed by the same bureau,
is now at DeKalb county in Alabama.
on the Georgia border. a few miles
south of Tennessee. That is, while the
center of white population moves
westward, that of the negro population
moves steadily southwest, and has
been doing so far more than one hum
dred years, having travelled thru Vir-
glnia, North Carolina and Georgia in
turn, and now having crossed to Ala
hanna. The divergence between the
two centers grows greater each decade.
At the close of the reconstruction period
it was expected by many people that
there would be a vast influx of south
eln negroes into the north, until the
whole west would be overrun with ref
ugees from southern plantations Ac-
tually. thru the natural operation OF
the law of selection, the negro popu-
lation gravitates toward the Gulf of
Mexico and particularly to the cotton
raising states. The colored popula
ton of Maryland, Kentucky and Mis-
souri,, border states, is not increasing
considerably. Instead of coming near
er together the two races seem to be
getting further apart.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1904-12-30

many charitable organizations and In
sinuates that too many of them need
watching.
It is a beautiful and dutiful thing
to be charita BILE, and give freely to the
alienation of want and suffering, but
it is sensible to be businesslike in such
giving. The mere assertion that an
institution exists with a charitable
purpose and needs money for its work,
will not suffice. 1t may turn out that
it has not had an inmate for six years.
The most insistent beggars are never
the most deserving, or in the greatest
need. The CRATER is abroad from the
ragged tramp to the crooked solicitor
for a fake charity. 1t is a duty to be
cautious as it is duty to be kind
1t is hard for most people to refuse
an appeal for small sum, backed up
by apparent evidences Of want, but 1t
is best to know to whom and why we
are giving. 1t is best to depend most
on common sense and least on impulse
when the unknown solicitor or the
beggar from the outside comes along.
There are opportunities at home for
most of our charity and these should
be sought out and relieved. The i'm.
pudence that demands is rarely worthy.
The deserving are always the timid.
Impulsive charity is oftener an aid to
professional mendicancy than help
to the poor and friendless.

was under water for three days. The
strange part of 1T is that the gophers
did not come back after the flood.
Tracts of land that were honey
combed with gopher and mole holes
are now as solid as a piece OF land
that had been cultivated every year.
In fact, there is not a gopher or mole
in the district which was flooded. This
is the opinion of the men who live in
the flooded district. 1t may seem like
hunting mighty hard for benefits from
a disaster, but this relief the farmers
have experienced from the absence OF
the moles and gophers has been OF
enough Importance to cause a general
comment. In the past fields have
been almost ruined by the pests, and
many horses have been crippled by
stepping into the holes in the fields.
The people in the western part of
the state have been asking for years
for some way to get rid Of the prairie
dogs. The farmers in the eastern part
Of the state have also asked for some
method Of cleaning out the gophers.
1t appears that the only effective meth
cd Is to have a flood which Will keep
the pests under water for three or four
days The remedy is severe, but it is
effective.
Another thing that the people in the
flooded district have to be thankful for
is the driving out of the rabbits from
the valley. 1t would be supposed that
the rabbits would have run away from
the flood. but they did not. Many Of
them were drowned. Strange as it
may seem, the rabbits did not come
back after the flood. Why this should
be no one can tell, but it is the truth.

that all important roads in the United
states can be, and doubtless will be,
e Yoal,a d nnized or otherwise improved
IN the not distant future. This ex-
pectation, the director thinks, should
govern their present location, and
treatment everywhere. He says that
+ mat,adamizing will fix their locations
permanently, and that they should be
relocated, II not properly located, be-
for, the macadamizing process Is be-,
gun. He makes many suggestions with
regard to location and grading OF
highways as we'll as their drainage
& and other matters Of prominent feat
ure.
The bureau Of inquiry seems to have
practically eliminated the dirt road
from It's consideration and settled upon
macadam as the only really practical
roadbed. 1t is pity that more atten-
{, ton was not paid to methods of inn
proving the present prairie roads and
less, stress placed upon stone facings.
It will be long before Iowa highways
are macadamized. Theeexpense Of such
roads is too great to permit their gem
eral consideration. What Iowa is par
tics,larly anxious to learn is some
method of fixing up her dirt roads into
passable highways until such time as
increased values and subdivision of
lands shall tighten the burden Of hard
road construction. A bulletin dealing
with dirt roads and cheap and effective
means Of keeping them in condition
woild be valuable and eagerly received
by the Iowa farmer. We must use
dir. roads for many years in Iowa, and
our efforts should be devoted to the
general improvement of such highways
rather than q propaganda Of macadam.
