THE SENSIBLE RULE.
WASHINGTON. Iowa, Press

Let no one laugh and jeer at the
fah or lapse of NJ. L. Hostetter, who
lately told an audience in one of our
churches about his drunken life. 1t is
pitiful to see amy man become a slave
to an appetite At Clinton this man
grew Respondent, and was weak enough
to take ona drink, and OF course, he
went over the dam. He had just sense
enough to go UP to Jail and confess
his weakness and ask to be shut up
away from sight and the chance of
drinking more. 1t must ruin self-re-
spect, the sense that one Is but hand
full of reeds trying to resist the onset
OF q freshet of passion and base pro-
pensity. His case and many another's
is an object lesson; a young man is very
foolish to begin on a course that Will
probable floor him and take all the
moral force and gumptdon out OF him.
Who wants to be showed down from
the plane of self sufficing, vigorous
manhood to the estate of a moral angle
worm? A man should always wish to
be at himself, as the phrase is, ready
for any emergency, and not be a feather
or thistle-down, caught UP by the
breeze and tossed every whittier. The
only way to he a man is TO be one and
not a pismire. And the safe, sensible
rule is, to let liquor and harmful drugs
alone. When you tell Satan to get be-
hind you. hell jump lively to one side
and beat a hasty retreat for there is
nothing the devil hates so much as to
be so thoroughly kicked that his base
goes up under his hat But pshaw.
Where's the use OF preaching? A
whole lot of Smart Alecs will keep on
sucking the banefu1 juice, fancying it
Is smart. There is positively no cure
for "da1nphoolishness.

ROOSEVELT AS A "uSuRPER. /"

There has ben much serious discus
sion and-a great dead of interested dem
ocratdc criticism of the now famous
pension order bearing upon disability
pensions for old soldiers.
The aaw passed in 1890 gives all vet
Grams who are incapacitated for man
ual labor and who hold honorable dis
charges from the service pensions rang
ing from Sc to S12 per month, gradual
cd according to their disability and In
capacity to maintain themselves. The
rule in the pension office has been to
presume that at the age of 60 the pow
ers of the pensioner had diminished
one-haH and to grant the Sc rate to sol
oilers who had reached that limit. AT
20 the rate was raised to $40 and at
80 he received the maximum rate of $12
monthly. The new rule fixes the min
mum age at Sc. gives the pensioner IS
at IS, SO at IS and $12 at 90.
There has been much excited talk of
arbitrary assumption and usurpation of
power by President Roosevelt in direct
ing thru one of his cabinet officers the
Interpretation OF the age limit of man
Uea dsa bility. The first is that it was
- more extraordinary or arbitrary
than the order fixing the limit at SIX
ty-five years. Under the act referred
to the secretary of the interior has en-
tire charge of the execution OF the pen
sion laws and the payment of pensions.
Ali the buster about "usurpation of
power is a windy attempt by demo-
Gratis to create capital for the coming
campaign.
There Is the shamelessness OF the
democratic party In its blatant crit
icism Of this order. II pensions are due
from the nation to the men who defend
ed it and whose patriotic service Is the
we1lspring of its greatest pride they
should be granted with gratitude and

No one with comon sense will deny

the QUESTION OF RESPONSIBILITY.

On the first page Of the Chicago
newspaper upon which he is employed
famous cartoonist pictured today a
dime. novel flying Unto space from the
blow of mighty fist The legend reads,
This Friday is a bad day for the dime
novel" The reference is to the three
car barn murderers whose lives were
strangled out upon a scaffold this
morning. To lay the responsibility for
such lives as Neidermeye's, Marks and
Van Dimes upon the crude and quasi
criminal fiction which unwise laws per-
NIT the publication and sale to boys is
an easy way out Of the cul de sac into
which extraordinary criminals like
these lead civilization. Without doubt
The nickel library and It's ilk have
their share of responsibility to bear,
but Gt is only a share. The bad
book lis only an incident in Q
had life. one that has Its influence
as an assistant toward crime, but not
the deeper foundation of a wasted and
criminal life
Nothing ever written is truer than
the poetical assertion of the hymn wrt-
ter that Satan finds some mischief
still for idle hands to do Laziness
and a desire to live easily without work
or responsibility is the breeding matrix
Of more crime than all the prurient nc
ton ever printed. The boy without
employment is ship full rugged and
without rudder at the mercy Of every
breeze of evil or squall of criminality.
The Neidermeyers. Van Dimes and
Marxes are spawned of laziness and
parental folly and carelessness.
1t is q generally accepted axiom that
a s'town is bad place to bring up
boys and this is true if the boy is to
grow up on the streets. Town is bad
place to raise dogs If they are to run
wild. 1t is more a question OF en-
ployment than of place. Trees care
lessly tended grow crooked In the
country with the Inclination OF tnelr
twigs as they do in the city.
The best safeguard against evil is
work. The boy needs employment and
the spur of responsibility. His ener-
gies drive him and he needs a guiding
hand. He should have regular duties
and be required to attend to them reg
uIariy. His time should be usefully
occupied. Play should be secondary
and he should learn early that the
world owes him nothing that he has
not earned. Mistaken Kindness and
parental carelessness make more crimi-
nails ana worthless men than dime nov
els. And worthless man is in sense
criminal.

Cows Should Freshen in Autumn.
We are asked If autumn is the best
time for cows to come fresh, and II SO,
why?
It seems preferable to have them
freshen in September, October or NO
vember, as they then give the heaviest
flow OF milk while butter rs highest.
They can then receive the special care
needed at this, time as field work Will
not be pressing. The well cared for
autumn fresh COW turned to good pas
ture the following spring, receives a
new incentive to milk, giving almost
equivalent to again coming fresh. 1t
is a we'll established fact that the good
cow, we'll cared for, viii give more
milk during the year by coming fresh
in the autumn than she Will when
freshening n the spring.
The autumn fresh COW goes dry In
fly season, and at time when field
work is rushing, and her calf is reared
during the winter, and is ready for
pasture, and to take care of himself,
when grass comes; while the spring
calf is ready for grass when snow
comes, and must thus be hand fed for
the first year Of its life.
