Should the president receive that
noble peace prize, the question is would
he spend the proceeds for more hunt
ing armament?
Jasper county people have set Oc-
tober II as the day on which they will
vote bonds for 100000 to build first
class court house In a very short
time now there will be ninety mine OF
these 100000 court houses in Iowa.
The meeting Of Secretary Root, Am
bassador Choate and the president at
Sycamore Hill is now said to have been
for the purpose of considering the pres
ident's desire to yield to the czar the
honor of calling the next peace confer
ence at The Hague.
When a professional lobbyist is sent
to the Albany legislature with an in
surance company's check for 100000 it
is useless for him to deny that the
money was used for bribery. Is there
a reader of this paper who could not
tell just what he did with 100000 were
such sum given to him?
Despite rising price of refined oil
it is estimated at Toledo that the de-

they first came to the city they were
offered that lot for hundred dollars
and that It's been the GROWING regret
Of their lives that they didn't buy 1t.
But for every genuine case OF crowning
regret because fellow didn't buy
there are thousand because he did.
Don't let it make you feverish the next
time you see one of those won't you
come in quick and get rich sudden ads.
Freeze up and on to your thousand,
and by and by you'll get chance to
buy a little stock in the concern for
which you're working and which you
know something about, or to take that
thousand and one or two more like It
and buy an interest in nice little busl-
ness Of the breed that you've been
grooming and currying for some other
fellow. But if your moneys tied up In
the sudden millionaire business you'll
have to keep right on clerking.

easier, and easier through all the III
creased efficiency that self denial and
self control have given you.
1t doesn't seem like much when you
take your savings bank book around
at the end Of the year and get little
$50 or $40 interest added or when you
cash In the coupon on the bond that
you've bought, yet your bank book
and your bond are still true to you
But If you'd had your thousand in one
of these so per cent bleached blond
schemes it would have Lit out long
ago with fellow whose ways were
more coaxing, leaving you the laugh
and q mighty small lock OF peroxide
gold hair.
You can't too soon make it rule to
invest only on your own know and
never on somebody else's say so. You
may lose some profits by this policy,
but you're bound to miss a lot OF
losses Often the best reason for keep
ing out of thing is that everybody
else is going into it. A crowds al
ways dangerous; it first pushes prices
up beyond reason and then down be-
low common sense. The time to buy
is before the crowd comes in or after
it gets out. It'll always come back to
a good thing when it's been pushed
up again to the point where it's bad
thing.
It's better to go slow and lose good
bargain occasionally than to go fast
and never get bargain. It's all right
to take long chance now and then
when you've got a long bank account,
but it's been my experience that most
of the long chances are taken by the
fellows with short bank accounts.

A Self Made Merchant
Gilt Edged Insecurities Leave Nothing
Behind But Smoke and Smell.

There are Two branches in the study
Of riches getting money and keeping
it from getting away. When fellow
has saved thousand dollars and
every nickel represents a walk home
instead of a ride on trolley and every
dollar stands for cigars he didn't smoke
and for shows he didn't see, it natural
ly seems as if that money. when it's
invested, ought to declare dividends
every thirty days. But almost any
scheme which advertises that it will
make small investors rich quick is
like one of these Yellowstone geysers
that spout up straight from hades
with boom and roar; it's bound to
return to its native birthstone sooner
or later leaving nothing behind it but
a little smoke and smell Of burned
money-your money.
IL a fellow would stop to think he
would understand that when money
comes in so hard it isn't reasonable to
expect that 1t can go out and find more
easy. But the great trouble is that a
ROOu uluuJ tHNt2lolS uoh sup w
think or else let plausible strangers do
their thinking for them. That's why
most young men have tucked away
with their college diploma and the pic
ture Of their first girl an impressive
deed to q lot in Nowhere-on-the-No 10th

that has never gushed anything but
lies and promises.

Wigs have an old and honorable ped

masculine good looks. Even the best
eroomed head from which the hair has
PERMANENTLY departed could be i'm
proved by a we'll made wig. In Eng
land the wig is the symbol and outward
sign Of the highest judicial dignity
But will the nation which has made
an institution of the "baldhead row"

the wig? It's use would mark de-

Miss Jane Adams proposes that the
public schools do something more than
take the children of immigrants and
train them in American ideas. Thls,
she says, tends to make them know
more of English than their elders, to
put them in the way of earning more,
and thereby teaches them disrespect.
Miss Adams suggests that the pubic
schools take the parents in hand also,
deliver lectures to them on the Ameri-
can spirit and on American institu-
lions, in their own language IL neces-
sary, and carry the good work they are
doing for the youngsters back a gener-
alton.

STILL FROM s1AnDpATTERsvllLe.

Major Lacey'S speech at BlOonnetd
is evidence enough to prove the wis.,
dom OF the suggestion that reciprocity
should be made an issue in a few con-
gressional nominating conventions If
it is ever to receive serious considera-
ton outside of conferences, and farm
ers' gatherings. Because commercial
depression came under the Wilson
bill and prosperity returned under the
Dingley bill, Major Lacey is going to
stand pat and never touch a single
Dingley schedule until adversely again
appears. Then he will doubtless well
come defeat by the democrats and shift
responsibility to their shoulders. This
is not such very had politics, either,
but it is woefully poor craftsmanship.
There is an unmi stakably strong de-
mand in this state for the state nomin-
atoms to be made next year strictly
upon the Cummins VS.. anti Cummins
issues. The lines must be drawn, say
many, SO as to put the state on record.
The T.-R. has already suggested that
the issue of reciprocity should be
fought out in the congressional NOM
nations where result would count
for something. Major Lacey, evidently
agrees with this view, or else he is
bidding for recognition as an anti
Cummins candidate, for he is opposed
not only to everything that is proposed
thing that has been done by them. He
is opposed to reciprocity and to every
suggestion to change single Dingley
schedule. He is opposed to a primary
election law and il still opposed to the
biennial election law, altho it has
been passed by two legislatures and
twice adopted by the vote of the people
without knowledge Of Cummins Is
sue being involved in it. He is oppos-
ed to politicians talking about ideals
in citizenship at chautauquas and If
he were to be analysed he would be
found opposed to everything the Cum
minis following ever did or wanted to
do and for anything the Cummins fol-
lowing thought wrong. AS to the pres
ident's rate regulation measure Major
Lacey is silent, but it is hoped he will
vote right.
Such men as Major Lacey have been
In congress very long time. The lack
of dangerous democratic opposition
causes them to think more of making
their comparatively safe job at Wash
ington an easy one than to undertake
courageously the work of bringing con-
troversial legislation up to date. In
spite of the confessed fact that the 90
per cent margin was never used for
trading purposes as intended and in
spite of the very obvious fact that GER
tain schedules are no longer needed as
President Mckinley said, Major Lacey
shrinks from the task of changing a
single schedule in a tariff law now
eight years old He seeks rather to
pacify the people with references to
their bounteous crops. With such men
as Major Lacey unmolested the reci-
procity issue viii never get beyond
academic discussion.

The Advocate at Rockwell City says:
"As a matter of fact we cannot see
why a newspaper should feel the
slightest political obligation to a rail-
road agent for an advertising con-
tract, any more than it would feel I'M
der obligation to a local society for So
called complimentary" tickets to an
entertainment in return for liberal adj
vertising notices Nor do the railroads
expect. In sixteen years of newspaper
experience we have never received the
slightest intimation from any trans
portation manager that have ever con-
sidered the opinions of the paper as
factor in making advertising con-
tracts"
The Knoxville journal is positive
when it says: "a more stupendous
mistake could not be made than to
place the fate Of our great colleges in
the hands of large board of salaried
or unsalaried members. Such action
would merely aggravate the evils COM
planned of under the present manage
ment. Such board would almost inn
mediately develop factions and the
pulling and hauling would result
in great damage to all the insti-
buttons. If the management of the fl
nances of our state schools is to be
entrusted to a single board, that
board ought to be composed of not
more than five men who should be
paid a salary sufficient to insure the
acceptance Of appointments by compe-
tent, broad-minded business and pro-
fessional men,
