it is a disgrace to die rich, but it. is
convenient to live rich.
Perjury is valued only for young men.
1t seems to be universally conceded
that it is good for them like athletics,
plenty of sleep and high class litera-
ture; but nobody begrudges the young
man his poverty. 1t is something we
are generous with to him. Give him
enough of it, together with ambition,
and he will become a millionaire and
go to Monte Carlo and break the bank,
as Charles Schwab did. OF course. if
he had the money when he was a
young man he could have done it then
just as well.
But young men should be taught to
earn the prizes in this world. Reared
in poverty they can look forward to
the time when they will have the leis-
ure to run automobile road races
around Paris, settle down in England
and buy bric-a-brac, break Monte
Carlo and carry on other such useful
activities These things are not good
for young men-only for middle aged
and old ones

LOSS TO THE ENGLISH PEOPLE

LOSS TO THE ENGLISH PEOPLE.
There is no wonder that many of the
English leaders are championing the
cause of protection and waging a Wig
orous campaign in favor of it's adoption
in that country. 1t is pointed out in
a recent edition of the American econ
omist that although the population
of Great Britain has increased largely
Within the last thirty years, yet she
sells about $110,O00,00O worth of goods
a year less to foreign countries than
she did thirty years ago, while her i'm
ports have increased in the same per-
iod more than $500, 100000 a year, or
$165 for each adult male in England,
Ireland, Scotland and Wales" Such
being the results of the national pol
icy there is no wonder that the people
have begun to question its wisdom
and are thinking of adopting the policy
of protection.
They look across the Atlantic to the
United States review the history of
this country's trade for the past seven
years since the adoption of the Ding
ley law and they see that under the
working of the protective policy not
only have the exports of the United
States been greatly increased, and the
imports materially lessened, but the
domestic trade has advanced by leaps
and bounds. They see that under the
activities that have sprung up in this
protective country every person has
employment at good wages and is
thereby enabled to purchase not only
the necessities of life, but has enough
of this worlds goods to enjoy many
things that in Great Britain are con-
sidered luxuries, available only to the
wealthy

Senator Harper, Wapello county's
representative in the Iowa senate, has
the confidence of his fellow legislators
to an unlimited extent. Saturday SEN
ator Harper introduced a bill asking
for the appropriation of $1,50O to meet
the expenses of the Iowa department
OF the Grand Army of the Republic.
This measure was passed without a
dissenting vote and without even be-
ing referred to committee. A very
unusual proceeding.

Sioux City Journal.-It is understood
that our sepators, who are to be the
leaders of the Iowa delegation at Chi
cago, would like to have both Cum
Minis and Blythe associated with them.
Both our senators are men of peace.
They are also for Roosevelt. 1t is
thought in some quarters that the
President is also for Cummins and
Blythe, though possibly, shielding him
self behind the alphabetical order, he
might prefer to have it said Blythe and
Cummins. And that suggests an ar
augmentation Blythe, Cummins

RussIAs BLACK SEA FLEET.

Philadelphia Press.-Some of the
Russian war news is novel, if nothing
else. The report that Turkey will use
force to prevent the Russian Black sea
fleet from passing the Dardanelles is
of the tnovelistic" nature. The chances
are that Russia would be willing to pay
Turkey not to let these vessels out if
their officers tried to take them out.
In the Black sea they are safe, but once
outside there is no telling what might
happen to them, as they were not built
for long trips on the ocean.

POVERTY FOR YOUNG MEN.

Dolliver says that poor boys need no
sympathy, but that the rich boys are
entitled to all the compassion which
anyone may be seeking to bestow.
Probably poor boys can feel sorry for
themselves in a sufficient degree for
all needs. A proper degree of grief in
a young man for his own poverty is
the best thing to rouse his spirits.
1t is no disgrace to be poor, but it is
inconvenient. Andrew Carnegie says

Governor Cummins will not abide by
the vote of the Polk county convention
