Though small that space it is
more wide
Than kingdoms; though a desert

And these are the enchanted
bowers.

"Many men have been obscure
in their origin and birth, but a
great and glorious in life and
death. They have been born and
nurtured in villages, but have
reigned and triumphed in cities.
They were first laid in the man
ayers of poverty and obscurity,
but afterwards have become pos
SCISSORS of thrones and palaces.
Their fame is like the pinnacle
which ascends higher and higher,
until at last it becomes most a
conspicuous and towering object
of attraction. 1t is not good for
human nature to have the road
of life made too easy. So it is a
common saying that the men who
are the most successful in busi-
ness are those who begin the
world in their shirt sleeves, while
those who begin with fortunes
generally lose them"

esty should be given one or two chan

tician, or be elected to the lieutenant

slight a thing is fame" the lieutenant
governor tells this on himself.

ney general, a personal friend, the
telephone was answered by the Office
boy and the following conversation en-
sued:

taxes on his land. The law requires

he contributed nothing to the support

Turnout the thirty-five years of his
residence in Iowa Liebold has contrl-
buted nothing to the government; his
tenants have paid his land tax; his
personality taxes were never paid until
the ferrets unearthed his duplicity.
Every dollar of personally tax that
Liebold failed to pay increased the tax
burden of his tenants because If he had
paid his share, their share of the taxes
would have been less. He saddled the
entire burden of tax on those poorer
and consequently less we'll able to pay

A CABINET SYMPOSIUM.

The New York Tribune of January
contained a pleasing feature. 1t had
requested New Year sentiment from
the president and members of his cab
met which were reproduced in fac sim
lie on the front page of its paper.
President Roosevelt's expression was
typical and has the ring Of al sledge
hammer in it. He said:
All ask is a square deal for every
man. Give him fair chance. Do not
let him wrong any one, and do not let
him be wronged.
The people Of the United States be-
lieve him. 1t was the popular accep-
tance of the Roosevelt characteristic,
expressed above, that made him presi-
dent by reclamation.
Following up his chief, Vice Presi-
dent-elect Fairbanks said:
We are proud of our country not
only because it is great, but because
above all else, it is best. Justice must
keep pace with our increasing national
strength and expanding power, If we
would attain the highest possible de-
velopment. Without justice no state
is great; it is but a hollow mockery.
John Hay, statesman, practical man
ter into the lines which suggest:
If the press of the world would adopt
and persist in the high resolve that war
should be no more, the clangor of
arms would cease from the rising of
the sun to its going down, and we
could fancy that at last our earth is
no longer stunned by the din of armies,
might hear the morning stars singing
together and all the sons of God
shouting for joy.
Leslie NJ. Shaw's contribution to the
symposium deals with that patriotic
craftsmanship that forgets self to the
benefit of others. 1t must be graft
flying to all Iowans to know that their
representative in the cabinet holds to
such preoepts as these:
AS patriotic courage can be exercis-
ed in the home and in the market
place as well as In fields Of battle, so
the same standard OF patriotic states
manship can be evidenced at the polls.

people in a direction not hitherto
tested.

Lessons Of Pari. Tunnel Disaster.

A long editorial summarizing and
criticising report of the technical
committee which had investigated the
disaster on the Paris Metropolitan
railway in August last, is printed in the
London Electrician. A summary is
first given Of the causes of the acct
dent and the lessons from the disaster
are summarized for the prevention of
similar accidents. The investigating
technical committee lays the greatest
stress on the requirement that 1T
should be possible for the train staff to
cut the current off the conductor rail
at any point. For this purpose it is
suggested that the rail should be cut
up into a number of separately fed
sections, such that not more than
five or six trains can be on any one
section and that every train shall car
ry "short circuit bar" which can be
dropped across the conductor and run
ming rail in case of need and SO actu-
ate the circuit breakers controlling the
section. The committee also urges
tunnels should be provided from a
number of. sources, some of them en-
tirely independent, not only of the
IrdcLlOu supply, DuI even VI ILe COHl-
pany's generating and substations. 1t
appears that the committee considers
that the noninf1ammable car is at
present hardly attainable, SO that the
short-circuits mus be expected, and
when they do occur some risk Of fire is
unavoidable. The writer of the edi-
torial thinks that the committee has
inverted the proper order Of the meas
ures required and that the essential
condition of safety would be to design
and equip the motor cars in such q
way that ignition of combustable ma
teriaL is hardly possible. with rub
ber-covered cables boxed in with
wood, shoe that cannot be readily
lifted from the rail and circuit breaks
ers or fuses set for too heavy a cur
rent, it is conceivable that a short
circuit may put a car into blaze in a
few seconds and constructions carry
such risks must be avoided" 1t is al
so pointed out that from what happen
ed it appears that neither trainmen
nor the station staff had been instruct
ed how to deal with an electric fire.
