PLURAL TO RHYME.

This spelling is funny, every one knows
Now why should the plural Of be spelled those,
While the plural OF mat is never spelled nose?
And why should the plural OF be spelled mice.
While the plural of grouse is spelled grtce?
For its singular dice takes that little word de.
But the singular of lice is surely not lie
The plural of steer we all know is steers.
But the plural Of dear-dear me!-is not deers.
The plural of fox Is quite simple just foxes;
But the plural OF OK. now would you write oxes?
For goose it is geese but for moose is IL meese'
Oh, mol deary mel Nor for moose is IL
For man IL is men, but for pan its not pen,
Nor would you even say that for fan it was fen.
Gracious me! If they had TO spell always like ue
guess the French children would make big fuss.

Representative Townsend Of Mich
gan, called upon President Roosevelt
at the White House yesterday and
talked with him about the outlook for
the railroad rate legislation. When he
left the President he said to newspa.
per correspondent" President Roosevelt
is dead in earnest on the subject OF
railroad rate legislation, and is just as
determined as ever that legislative
regulations shall be enacted looking
to federal supervision Of the freight
rate situation"
Mr.. Townsend is right. President
Roosevelt is truly dead in earnest,
and when that is the case there is al
ways prospect for the success of his
plans. The President has faculty OF
getting what he wants. He is at the
head of the administration mastered
by the republican party and he is re
sponsible to the people for his actions
He has no intention Of weakening on
his railroad rate legislation stand and
this fact will be brought home to the
people and to congress when that body
convenes and hears the reading Of the
annual message.

While the extreme phase treated by
Mr.. Lovejoy is unknown in Ottumwa,
there is no doubt that he is right with
regard to many parts of the country,
notably the large cities, and the child
labor law is not out of place. In OF
tumwa, however, the compulsory edu-
cation law is all that is necessary at
this time. Nearly all the youngsters
who are out of school in this city are
SO, because their parents neglect to
send them and not because they are
kept away from school to work. The
enforcement of the compulsory educa-
ton law will work a hardship on al
most no one in Ottumwa and will do
much good.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

Now that Ottumwa has attained the
| dignity of city of more than 10000
| people as counted in the official state
census, the school board has decided
! to enforce the law making education
! of children of school age compulsory.
This law is the outgrowth of a ma
tion-wide agitation against ignorance
and child labor. Though it is not as
strong as the child labor law the aims
l'of both converge and both may be said
to have practically tie same objects.
There are not a great number OF CHI
dren of school age in Ottuluwa that
are prevented from receiving the adj
vantages of the city's splendid public
school system, but the school board is
sure that there are some of them and
measures will be taken to cut this
number to the lowest possible mini
mum.
The child labor question is one that
is agitating many communities just
now and articles in several currena
magazines deal with it. Own R. Love-
JOY, of the National Child Labor COM
mittee is the author of one of these
articles, in which he says:
"The knowledge has just been driv-
en- home to us that the army of chill
dren we employ to clothe and feed us
is unprecedented in the history of CIV
lized nations.
During the last two decades of the
nineteenth century, while our popula-
ton increased from 100000 to 76.-
100000, or fifty per cent, the number
Of boys between the ages of ten and
fifteen engaged in the one class OF
industries known, to census reports as
manufacturing and mechanical pur-
suits,' increased one hundred per cent,
while the number of girls between the
same ages and engaged in the same
pursuits increased one hundred and
fifty per cent.
"The same volume of the census
which contains these figures, also
makes the disturbing confession that
the returns are undoubtedly far below
the actual number, as the facilities
and authority for securing reliable in
formation are often lacking.
1.-The growth is still going on and
is widespread.
Recently the Pennsylvania Child
Labor committee discovered that in
Philadelphia there were 16,100 child
rem between the ages of eight and
thirteen who were not in any public,
parochial, or private school and many
of them. by the aid Of false age certi-
fcates, secured permanent positions
in store or factory.
"An investigation in the state regions
showed that of the $4,000 slate
pickers, nearly 10000 were between
the ages of ten and fourteen.
In Wheeling, w. Va, there are
more than 5000 children of the nor

DOES HE MEAN IT7

The suggestion or Secretary He'll
man Of the Sioux City, Y. M. G. A.,
which he offers as solution for the
troubles caused pastors by flirting"
between boy and girl parishioners in
their churches, bears the stamp of the
true humorist. OF course, there is the
possibility that Mr.. Hellman really
means what he says, In which case
the humor is doubled-or Eilled-how-
ever man wants to look at it.
Mr.. Hellnan suggests that the
young men and young women be seq
regated when they attend church; in
short, that the churches return to the
old Quaker plan and set off one side
of the house of worship for the women
and girls and the other for the men
and boys. He declared before the
Sioux City Ministerial association that
a. young man Is not susceptible to re-
llgious teaching when he has at his
side a pretty girl or can ogle one from
behind the sheltering pages of a
hymnal. His declaration of principles
came in the course of defense of the
Y. NJ G. A., and its system of holding
mems meetings. The complaint is Of
ten made that the association does not
briag men into, the churches and Mr..
Heliman undertook to prove to the
preachers that 1t is the fault of the
churches, conducted as they are, that
the young men do not attend them, or,
if they do. that they are not morally
benefited as they should be.
Now if Mr.. Hellman Just wanted to
have his little joke at the expense of
those Sioux City preachers, all well
and good, but if he really means that
the congregations in churches should
he divided with respect to the sexes
there is something wrong with Mr..
Hellman. Perhaps he never strayed
from the protecting zone of a good
mothers influence when he was young.
Maybe he was one of the bright young
men who acted as ushers in his
church. Maybe he sang in the choir
when he was boy. Because, If he
was not held in leash by some of
these influences he would be able to
recall that when he began attending
church regularly it was because a
young woman whom he admired great
ly wanted him to go as her escort. If
he were the least bit observing this
defender of the Y. M. c. A., would be
able to see the truth in the actions of
other young men, for how many Of
those youths for whom the church is
striving would go to church voluntari-
ly and alone? If Mr.. Hellman doesn't
know, the young men do, and it is
pretty probable that the Sioux City
preachers know, too.
Mr. Hellman's object was all right,
just as is the association he represents
but his method of reasoning was con-
siderably faulty But there is still
the possibility that he was only jok-
ing.

Remarkable Reunion Of Family A,
Washnqton. Iowa.

Remarkable Reunion Of Family AZ
Washington, Iowa.
Washington, Iowa, Oct. s. - The Da.
vid Neiswanger family had reunion
at the old home last week in honor Of
the eightieth birthday celebration of
Mr.. Neiswanger. He was 80 years old
August is, but the family could not
all get home until recently.
A remarkable fact is that 1t was the
first time that the entire family was
at home together. The older children
were married before the younger ones
were born, and although the original
Neiswanger family got married nearly
fifty-five years ago and some Of the
children are grandparents, they had
never all been at home at one time
before. There is no evidence Of race
suicide in this family.
