Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1904-07-13

A leading Iowa newspaper favors
the law giving employment to inebri-
ates in state asylums on the ground
that Labor as we'll as medicine is
needed to restore the proper tone and
balance to both bouy and mind" Idle
ness is injurious to health of body and
mind and destructive to morals.
Work is an essential of the proper per-
formance of all of the functions of
strong manhood. The busy men are
not dipsomaniacs.

Just as we expected 1t appears
now, from the Marshalltown Times
Republican and the Cedar Rapids
Gazette, that Governor Cummins
made the Chicago platform to suit
himself. and that it stands for tariff
reform and revision Now it really
does not make any material difference
what contraction any republican puts
upon the platform, only SO that he
does not thereby give aid and comfort
to the common enemy. 1t seems to
us that the whole case is in nutshell (:
Governor Cummins' Minneapolis
speech. and all his subsequent utter
ances, except the speech at the last
state convention, were to the effect
that the tariff needed revision now.
All republicans agree that when it
does need revision, it should be re-
vised. No republican says that it
will never need revision. Hence. if
the republican platform adopted at
Chicago last week says, directly or in
directly, that the tariff should be re-
vised now. then the governor and the
tariff 'reformers have scored de-
cisive victory. And il so, please tell
us the difference between the republi-
can and the democratic positions on
the tariff? They say it needs revision
now, and IL the republican platform
means the same thing, what are we
wrangling over the tariff for?-Hamp.

In 1900 the farmers were prosperous
and farm prices were good. Populism
squeaked a few times and died and
the calamity cries of the democrats
were unable to make any serious in
roads into the republican phalanx de-
spite their cries of Imperialism, the
impending downfall of the constitu-
tion and American liberty, and such
like. The situation has not material
ly changed The country is still pros
porous, money is plenty and prices are
good; the republican party hiss kept
faith with the people. the administra-
tIon has been alert and resourceful. its
internal policy has been wise and
beneficial, its foreign policy has been
strong and has elevated the nation
among the world powers. it has been
unhesitating in its drastic course
toward dishonest public officials. and
the coming campaign will soon demon.

Julian Renfro of Chicago is a
doubter no more. In conversation
with friends some weeks ago he said
there was no God, and intimated that
he could only be convinced to the con-
trsry by somo actual demonstration
1t came and in An instant he could
neither speak, nor hear. Perhaps some
men will scoff at this and call it
superstition, but it will not alter the
eternal fact that there is God, and
a fool is he who sayeth to the con-
trary. -Ex

Simon Glazer, a Des Moines rabbi,
has written history of the Jews in
Iowa. He estimates their number at
a little more ihan 0,000 and their ag-
gregate wealth at $4.375, 900. About
one half of this wealth is held by the
Jews of Des Moines and Davenport.
There are practically no Jews IN the
state who ara objects of charity
About 65 per cent are of foreign birth.
chiefly from Germany and Russia. In
sixty-four of the ninety nine counties
of the state there is no record of a Jew
ever having been criminally prose-
cuted. There are no Jew prohibition
lists. and neither do Jews ever die of
alcoholism in Iowa. Mr.. Glazer pre-
diets that within the next twenty i've
years there will be more Jewish
farmers in Iowa than there are now

Sir Henry M. Stanley, the African
explorer, is dead. Sir Henry passed
away peacefully May 10th. He was
quite conscious to the last and able to
recognize his wife. Before he died
Sir Henry expressed a wish to be bur-
led at his country seat, Furze Hill Pr
bright, Surrey. The question how
ever, is being discussed of burying
him beside Livingstone, in Westmin
ster.
In his 81 years of life the famous
explorer has passed through adven-
lures and perils sufficient to crowd a
dozen life times and the hardships of
his unparalleled marches through
darkest Africa had, even at the time
of his marriage, IA years ago, brok-
en- his wonderful constitution and
brought him to a condition of semi
invalidism. His discovery of Living
stone, his explorations of the hitherto
unknown regions of Central Africa
his rescue of Emin Bay, his appoint
ment as governor of the Congo State
by King Leopold of Belgium and his
knighting on Queen Victoria's birth
dav, June ,, 1S99-all are fresh in the
memories of the reading public.

AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ms TRUCTION.

To aid teachers and school officials
to make early plans for attendance
upon the seventy fourth annual ses-
sion of the American Institute of In
struction, the executive committee
calls attention to arrangements al
ready made for the convention. The
meeting will be held at Bethlehem in
the White Mountains, the center of
the most picturesque section of New
England, beginning Tuesday evening,
July 9TH, and continuing through Fri
day evening, July 9Th. 1t will be the
only general or Interstate meeting of
teachers during the summer vacation
of 1904.
Provisions have been made for a
series of programs which will appeal
to all classes of educational workers.
General sessions, at which will be
heard some of the most distinguished
educators, will be held "a
morning and evening. Monsieur
Gabriel Compare Of Lyons,
France, Hon. George H. Martin,
Secretary Massachusetts State Board,
Prof. Bernadotte Perrin and Prof. E.
Hersey Sheath of Yale College, New
Haven, Conn.,, Professor Paul FL
Hanus of Harvard, Marie L. Shedlock
of London, Eng, and Ellor E. Carlisle
of Boston, are among the speakers
invited to participate in the general
program. These meetings will be de-
voted to earnest consideration of cur
rent educational problems.
Provision has also been made for
two afternoon sessions of each of five
important departments, any one OF
which would be adequate occasion for
attracting to the sessions a large body
of progressive teachers.
Hon. Walter Ranger, State Super
intendent of Public instruction for
Vermont, will preside over the De-
partment of Elementary Education.
The problems of the common schools,
both graded and rural, will be ably
presented and discussed by persons
actually engaged in their solution.

slams at first reported, achieved its
purpose. 1t was bravely done. Elev-
en- ships, laden with stones and cement
to prevent their being easily removed
once sunk, were manned with volun-
teer crews and under the convoy of
torpedo boats approached the harbor
in broad daylight. A storm was rag
ing and the commander decided to
postpone the venture, but the word
did not reach the vessels and they
proceeded at full speed to the harbor
entrance. The Russian batteries
poured in a destructive fire snd tor
pedoes and mines exploded all about,
sinking some of the ships while still
at a distance, but enough of them
reached the channel to effectually
block it to all save small boats.
Admiral Alexieff, the Czar's viceroy
in the Far East, has cabled his imper-
ial maater that the Russians have
blown up the piers and books at Port
Dalny, about 20 miles from Port Ar
thur, presumably to prevent their fall
ing into the hands of the Japanese.
The full extent of the meaning of
this action is seen when it is an
nounced that before the end of 1902
Russia had spent S6,O00,O00 on the
dock system, and it is said that the
total cost of Dalny exceeded $4,000, :

sal, and we commend it TO our read
ers. There is no doubt that Mr.. De
Boer is stronger to- day with the peo-
pie of Vermont than ever before, and
Notwithstanding he has said he did
not want the Governorship, there is a
strong feeling that he is just the man
for the position. What Vermont
wants is man of the caliber of De
Boer for it's executive. 1t is not who
wants the office, but who does the
state want? Mr.. DeBoer may have
said he didn't want the office, but we
believe that the state wants him, and
if he must be drafted" to secure
him, why, let's have the "draft'' and
take a man that the entire state will
be proud of. DeBoer is worth going

The bulk of the paints in market are 40 or

How do they act? They cover from one to

The life of country doctor is by no
means an easy one. He is at every
body's beck and call. There is no
time of day or night when he can be
sure of an hours rest. There is no
storm which he may not be summoned
to brave and no roads through which
he must not pillow to those who need
him. Others may take vacation but
not he; others may make plans for
the future, but his future is dependent
upon the needs of others. He is the
servant of all, and the friend of all.
There are none go poor that he will
not help them, and none so rich that
they do not need him. He is unself-
ish, and does large amount of gratu-
itous work, the full extent of which
no one, not even his wife, usually
knows. He gets a living, sometimes
is able to lay up something for the
future. But the best of his reward is
usually reserved until the next world
People confide in. him, and he knows
more secrets than any other mar
in the community, yet he rarely be-
trays a confidence or proves untrue
to trust. All honor to the country
doctor.-Bdrre Telegram.
