THE MAN HAY.

Now that the shock and sense Of
national loss occasioned by the death
of John Hay, the diplomat and states
man, has been modified, the people
are turning to contemplation and
analysis of the personality and char
acter Of the man who has been laid
to his eternal rest. AS one result of
this belated study of the man himself
MIR Hay dead is likely to achieve a
i personal popularity Which was denied
to John Hay living. AS secretarN of
state, all the world, and not least the
people he served, admired and respected
him. His overshadowing genius forced
confidence and acclaim. Personally he
was never q popular man. Norman
Hapgood in his appreciation Of John
Hay in the current Golfers, says he
could never have attained high cleo
tive office; that there was "a fastid-
iousness about him, an irony, q selec-
ton that made g. barrier between the
multitude and him." To Hay the per-
sonal affection Of the people he rep
resented meant little. He did his work
for love Of 1t, not for public applause.
Perhaps the plaudits pleased but IL 80
none knew. Popular approval brought
no smile to the reserved and silent
statesman, who turned aside, half
meeringly to seek the society Of books
and artists and literateus. He was
himself an artist and an aristocrat
satisfied with accomplishment, and of a
daintiness Of perception that shuns the
crowd. He thought like a democrat
and acted like prince. Hapgood tells
us he Stunned and dreaded death.
Perhaps his delicacy shuddered at
the thought of the narrow
house and decay. 1t was not
that his great mind failed to rise
above dissolution, but that his super
refinement baked at and shrank from
the horrors OF the chal.nel house
He had no lack Of faith or hope or
any OF the INDEFINITE attributes that
constitute what we call soul. Prjmar-
lily and essentially John Hay was a
dreamer and q poet, a truth and beauty
worshipper. 1t was these primal in
stincts Of his joined to keen and

cHAuTAuQuAs.


The Sioux City Journal AYERS that
the chautauuua assembly has become a
form of summer amusement and that
the controlling element is entertain
ment. 1T might as we'll be called cir
GUS says the Journal. The sun does
not agree with the Journal so far as It's
knowledge Of such assemblies goes. OF
all the chautauqua assemblies held IN
Iowa not one would fairly come under
such designation. 1t is true that most
people who attend chautauqua assem-
blles would rather be amused than be
compelled to listen to dry scientific, re-
ligious or moral lectures. Chautauqua
Arrangements seek to popularize their
lectures by getting men who are able
to present truth in an interesting way.
The Journal evidently regards the Sc
lection of speakers like La Toilette,
Folk and Lawson as in the circus line,
but 1t cannot be said that those who
listened intently for three hours to La
Toilette in Sac City's chautauqua tent
last Monday were amused by what
they heard. Rather they had implant-
ed in their hearts a determination to
do their duty as good citizens. Capt.
Hobson may have won his way to the
lecture platform by his exploit at San
tiago, but he is a popular chautauqua
speaker. not because OF his ability to
amuse, for he does not seek to amuse.
The men who draw the big crowds at
the summer assemblies are those
whom the newspapers have made fam
GUS. People go in part to see them, hut
they go also to hear them, and they are
disappointed IL one whom they esteem
ed greeat descends to the level OF q
clown.

WHISKY DRUG STORES.


If there were not fifty saloons In
this city there might be some excuse
for violating the liquor laws. But the
thirst of the people Is amply provided
for. The city takes $1,000 from every
saloon keeper and then it let's a few
favored men set up bars in the rear
of drug stores without paying the Ii
cense and the city let's them sell dur
ing the entire night and on Sundays
and holidays when the men who pay
the 81 900 license are compelled to
shut up.
The mayor has said he can't en-
force the law. Suppose one of the
saloons should be kept open after 10
o'clock at night. wouldn't he have
1t closed? It's. the same thing. A
saloon is saloon. He need not in
terfere with the reputable. druggists
OF the city-there have at no time
been more than few drug stores
who have violated the law by setting
up bar back of their prescription
case.
But in any event the city marshal
has said that he can keep such bars
closed. All he needs is an order from
the mayor to enforce the law.
Why won't the mayor give that sort
Of an order? Has he taken an oath
not to enforce certain laws?

THE NORWEGIAN RESOLUTION.

Editor Times Republican: The fol-
lowing lines, which l have attempted
to turn into English rhyme, were writ
ten by Bjornbtierne Bjornson immed-
lately after the Norwegian resolution
which the grand dukes of Sweden are
pleased to call 1t. The grand old man
of Norway was just returning from his
winter sojourn in Italy when his coun-
trymen boldly dissolved the union with
Sweden, declaring that King Oscar had
ceased to be the ruler of Norway.
The little poem was written as a
greeting to the Norwegian people in
the pending trials and the serious re-
sponsibilities of the new authorities.
As a matter of course. do not pre-
tend to do Justice to Biornson's lines
by my imperfect translation, but
thought that some of the numerous
reads of the T.-R. might be interested
in a translation of the present little
poem:
To the Morse People.
Thou people in Saint Olafs land,
Where he for freedom took his
stand
With faith and hope from God to man,
Sealed with his blood in battles van;
Arise and sing on native sod
A song of praise to Olaf's God!
Unless, in matters small or grand,
Our native home alone can stand,
Our future fate looks dim, remote;
We drift as on an upturned boat
This fact. Saint Olaf plainly saw;
For God and home to him was law
And for his God and home as we'll,
When duty called, he fought and fell
And God and home arose as one
In Olaf and his noble son
And sounds of freedom and of home
Rang out from Olaf's mighty dome.
This loyal fact has held the sway
From Olafs time till present day,
Despite distractions which did bring
Collisions with our foreign king.
Oh, Thou, who loved Saint Olaf's zeal,
Give strength when trials test our
steel!
Raise over Norways mountain domes
The star of hope for all her homes;
Let mothers, rocking child on knee,
In happy trust our future see
The ancient home which is our part
Will then be dear and near our heart.

ROAD DRAG EXPERIENCE.

How il Worked.
Editor Times epublican: In a re-
cent issue of your paper you gave some
of the results of your experiment with
the King road drag and called for the
experience of others. If conditions
were made to order there could be no
more favorable time to demonstrate
the King method than the present sea-
son has given in humid Iowa" Early
in May, while the sprinkler of Jupiter
was working overtime, and fields were
saturated, we made drag of planks
inventor at cost of $1.25. for material.
The section of highway selected for our
work is one-half mile In length and
lies on the road between Marshalltown
and Prairieville.
This is piece of road naturally vel.
drained and is known to road men as
an "easy KEEPER" but was badly on.
of repair, being scanned and SCARED
with deep ruts filled with water. The
first treatment was revelation in rut
filling and frequent little journeys up
and down the pike on the new made
vehicle soon made the road as firm and
smooth as a speedway. Teams: ars
drawing heavy loads testify that there
is marked contrast between this and
the weary miles of neglected roads
they must traverse. Working the
ground soon after rain will cause it
to become hard as every farmer knows
who tries to pillow when the soil is wet.
We have proven that the road drag
gives the highway all that Is essential;
the oval shaped crown, a. crust inlper-
vious to water, smooth surface, and
also prevents the growth Of grass and
weeds.
When the farmers generally realize
the monetary saving and the all-year-
round comfort to be derived from the
use of the road drag, the great rail-
ways will not need to send out spec
ial trains bearing the paracletes of
road making to propagate the gospel of
improved dirt roads in Iowa.
Very truly,

,Sawdust and Milk.

Golfers on April 20 quotes profess
sor at the Tuskegee agricultural exper-
mental station as saying: II have
here seven samples of bran To most
of you they look alike. The price paid
for each was probably about s22 ton.
and yet one sample is nearly half saw
dust. If you want sawdust with your
bran, we can give 1t to you at much
less than $22 ton. You wonder why
your cattle are not satisfied with the
food, why they fail to yield the milk
and butter which you have right to
expect. Here is the reason" Another
sample, according to Golfers con
tanned a large proportion of ground
corncob. AS corncob and sawdust hap

making profit may turn the scale

Rape for Pig Pasture.

Hogs are not like sheep in taking
hold of large, overgrown rape. They
prefer it short, tender and succulent.
They seem to relish it best when it is
not to exceed six inches high. A very
common mistake made by those who
use rape for hog pasture is that they
keep the hogs off too long; wait until
it gets woody and tough, then the hogs
refuse to eat it. With most hogs the
rape appetite must be acquired.
When they are first turned in, it may
become necessary to cut down their
other rations for few days. They
will soon learn to like 1T. Some one
has best expressed the situation by
saying that hogs and rape are like
the boy and tobacco: Hard for them
to get together, and then hard to get
them separated"
