IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Mason City Times Herald
thinks, Senator Foraker is entitled
to due credit for his candor. The
fellows here in Iowa who are opposed
to control of railway rates and giving
the Interstate Commerce commission
greater powers, claim to be with
Roosevelt on that proposition For
aker is frank enough to say that he
opposes that policy and he disagrees
with the president upon it. The fell
lows here in Iowa who are opposing
the policies of the president ought to
quit trying to tie themselves to his
coat tails"
"There is slight prospect that just
ice will ever deal impartially with the
men," says the Sioux City Journal.
They are overborne by picture hats.

the Fairfield Ledger, referring to the
state fair. cit has had all the appro-
priations it should have with its affairs

'tHearst's fight is against govern
ment by political machine and for
the principle of municipal ownership
declares the Dubuque Telegraph. He
is a great fighter and a wonderful Or
ganizer. He has an immense personal
following. But that he will be able to
defeat Tammany seems improbable
The Des Moines Capital thinks, "any
man who proposes to discuss woman's
clubs and woman suffrage in the spirit
adopted by Mr.. Cleveland would need
to be not only invulnerable in his own
family life, but far more nimble than
he"
"The wisdom of building and con-
Quoting high schools in the heart of
any city may be open to question,
suggests the FIT. Dodge Messenger.
1.-THE convenient location of a high
school is not the only or the chief con
sideration and the scholars might be
better students and more healthy
fundamentally if the high schools were
surrounded by park lands"
Strike while the iron is hot applies
as well to city growth and building as
If does to the blacksmith's shaping

the Oskaloosa Herald.
"The Titus discovery that the bein-

FROM A WOhiAN's POINT OF VIEW

ban and polo styles in hats, for which
there has been such a rage this sum-
ner and fall. have come almost to the
end of their popularity and that IN
the fashion centers and larger cities
they have already almost ceased to be
worn. The small hat, it is rumored,
will still be worn, but it will, while
short in the back and fitting the hair
closely. project further in front. The
woman who looks we'll with her hair
parted may regret the passing OF the
polo style, for she is about the only
one to whom it is becoming, but she
who still affects the ponpadour will
hail with gladness the passing OF
tantalizing style which, as a general
rule, she cannot wear without sac
rifice of good loks.
But the ponpadour devotee will not

Two facts of possible interest are
noticed in the line of footwear. One
is the return of the cloth-top shoe, in

Is a spoiled child more of source
of unhappiness to itself, when 1t grows
old enough to realize life, or to its rel
atives and friends? Many will answer
that the disappointment of the latter
is greater, and perhaps it is. For upon
parents and other adoring relatives
whose idolatry has blinded their Wis

knowing that the responsibility, in
large measure, of spelling nature

The president of Bryn Mawr college,
Miss NJ. Carey Thomas, called atten-
ton to an edifying fact when she said
that educational attachments will no
longer excuse slovenliness In dress
and manners among women, and that
the day of the college trump is past.
For the sake of what her appearance
means to her associates, every woman
should cultivate a pardonable sense of
vanity, strong enough to keep alive
her ambition to look always neat and
clean, not only when on the street or
out in company, but in her own nome,
which latter place is probably most
important of all. Intellectual brilliance
and personal carelessness is a disap-
pointing combination, and one winch
shows that the PERSONS education has
been one sided, to say the least. Tne
girl, however brilliant, whose mind has
been so trained that she cares nothing
for her appearance, is to be pitied.
Her friends and acquaintances may
praise her brilliance, "but," they will
say, II do wish she We're little more
stylish or careful in her dress" FASH
ion does undoubtedly hold too capri
cious and arbitrary a sway over us,
and it is an unwise thing for the wom
an Of limited means to strive to keep
up with the leaders in the race, but
anyone can at least, with a slight eff
fort, be neatly attractive in appear
ance.
The busy housewife desiring a new
dessert to serve, would find in the fol-
lowing connection a delicious dish.
The first preparation for it consists Of
removing the cores from tart apples
and filling the cavities with chopped
dates and grated maple sugar. Next,
haste the apples with water, in which
scraped maple sugar has been dis
solved, or thinned maple syrup will
do. Cool; then scrape all the jellied
Juice and pack into the core centers.
Place an apple in cup and fill up
with this jelly. Heat one pint of sweet
cider and add to it half box of gela-
tin soaked in one-half cup water for
half an hour; stir until the gelatin is
dissolved in the hot liquid; set in a
pan of ice water and stir slowly until
it begins to CONCEAL, then fill the cups.

One of the simplest and nobbiest
STYLES of the season, in street hats, is
the plain fedora style, or that known,
we believe, as the President Roosevelt
hat. Thus that great mans popular
ity has invaded even the realm of mill
linery. These hats are becoming to q
variety of feminine types. and are so
soft and pliable that they can be Worn
in numerous shapes, the more odd. the
more fascinating and popular. In the
larger cities hundreds of these hats,
which can be made to lose their slight
ly mannish effect, are worn, and in one
city particularly, the fad is for this
kind of hat in bright red. The streets
there. it is said, have rather a Pc
culiar appearance, for nearly every
woman one meets is wearing Roose-
velt hat, and among them are dozens

Expenses of Asylums.

Under the provisions Of the insanity
law. the boards Of the several asylums
make their own appropriations for cur
rent expenses. These expenses will be
materially greater through the next
two fiscal years The amount during
the fiscal years Of 1908 and 1904 was
$1,5G1 ,0O7 80
Under the law governing the man
agement of the prisons. the warden of
each of these institutions is allowed
to draw such an amount MS he shall
find necessary TO meet the current ex-
penses Of the institution Of which he
has charge. 1t is not probable that
the amount to be 50 drawn during the
next two years will be less than dur
Ing the fiscal years of 1903 and 1904,
which amount was $3.50, 900.
We find. therefore, that legislation
already i'm operation has provided for
appropriations for the coming two
years 10 the amount Of So. 422 G79.G5.
Through official and unofficial state
ments and reports, / learn that those
institutions which present their eSti-
mates to the state board Of corrections
and charities for approval will come
to the legislature asking for the
amount approved by that board, which
is S1.SSG 707.30.

The College Of Mines submits its

amount for which this institution will
ask. but Judging from past requests
and requirements. the amount will not
be less than 100000.
Others Will Ask for Funds.

Demand for Retrenchment.

We can easily understand how ii
may seem to be the duty of those who
have been intrusted with the care and
responsibility Of state institutions to
enthusiastically urge increased and
ever increasing expenditures for their
maintenance and up-building. but am
sure that there will be a willingness
on the part Of all who are so connected
with state affairs TO join with those
more directly responsible 10 the people
for state expenditures. i'm intellgently
meeting an imperative and not I'M
reasonable demand for such retrench-
ment as it is possible TO make with
out positive injury to any state insti-
tuition.
In dealing with the ordinary ex-
penSes of institutions. you will be quite
justified in the most rigid examination
in order TO assure yourselves that the
money granted is being used prudently
and efficiently. 4 legislature which
shall give its attention seriously and
intelligently to the scrutiny of state af-
fairs should and will receive the com
mendation of the people Of the state.

Appropriations.
Among the most important duties de-

that of providing for the requirements
and needs of our state institutions, and
of making general provision for the
maintenance of the state government.
In this connection il is well that we
should recall our promise TO the people
TO exercise the greatest possible de-
gree Of care and economy in our eX-

VALUE OF A SUNNY SOUL.
Disposition More to Be Valued Than
Great Riches.

The world is too full of sadness
and sorrow, misery and sickness; 1t
needs more sunshine; it needs cheer
full lives which radiate gladness; it
needs encouragers who will lift and
not bear down, who will encourage,
not discourage, says Success.
Who can estimate the value OF
sunny soul who scatters gladness and
good cheer wherever he goes, instead
If gloom and sadness? Everybody is
aitracted to these cheerful faces and
sunny lives, and repealed by the
gloomy, the morose and the sad. we
envy people who radiate cheer wher
ever they go and fling out gladness
from every pore. Money, houses and
lands look contemplate beside such a
disposition. The ability to radiate
sunshine is a greater power than
beauty, or than mere mental accom-
plishments.
Some people will 60 out of their
way to tell the truth, especially if it
is unpleasant.

hand, but keeps the other one doubled
