a member of the party. will not take
such part in the matter as his proml-
nence in leadership would warrant.
Such a course would be neither becom-
ing nor patriotic in the president as
AN individual. There is no reason why
as Theodore Roosevelt the president
should not take an active part In the
forming of his partys policy and In the
expression of that policy thru the
selection of leader, and while 1t may
be accepted that he will not attempt to
dictate or to be arbitrary, we do not
believe that he will abdicate his right
to a voice in the affairs of the party.
1t is hardly conceivable that he ever
intended to give out such an impress
sion.
SO, In Iowa, while 1t is to be hoped
that no one now in office will be so
forming of his party's policy and in the
nomination of his successor, 1t is to
be hoped also, that none who are now
in office will feel, because of that fact,
that they must take no part In the
future counsels Of their party. 1t is
far call from the role of the dictator to
that of the participant on a footing
commensurate with his prominence,

sion Of public sentiment and party poll

A LIMIT TO LEylATHANs.

Thirteen years ago Mr.. David
Fackler, president Of the Actuarial So
ciety, deliverd an address on insurance
before national convention in which
he presented certain views which have
since proved prophetic. Fully year
before the panic Of '9S had struck the
country and hence long before the past
decade Of unprecedented prosperity
and the era OF consolidation and trust
formation in commercial affairs which
this prosperity has developed, this
insurance man discussed tendencies OF
Insurance drift which he then perceived
and he predicted results which then
seemed impossible, but which have
since proved his propositions to be
automatic in their certainty.
Mr.. Fack1er said then that there was
already great danger of insurance
companies growing too large to be
carefully managed by their officers.
and scrutinized by their directors. He
cited the fact that already it had be-
come an almost impossible task for
state examiners to check UP and exam

dertake to name his successor in the
white house but would leave that to
his party. Whether the correspondent
had any specific authority to speak
thus for the president doesn't matter
work, it was well done, and had the
advantage of being conservative and
of pointing out Il course for the presi-

But the role thus given the presi-

and leave the selection Of their sue

query was restricted and took form in
the singular number-Should not he
leave the selection of his successor to
his party?
The idea is a very good one, but 1t

He argued that the huge conn anies
offered no advantages to the public in
the way of cheaper insurance than
companies of reasonable size. ant pre-
dicted that vast accumulations OF cap
ital in the control of immense insur-
ance companies would become a source
of great danger to the financial welfare
of the country. This sounds so COM
monplace now that it is scarcely inter-
esting, but it was first expressed by
Mr. Fackler thirteen years ago.
What he said then has proved itself
to be true as to insurance. There are
many men of excellent judgmen: who
believe that the same principles apply
in all lines Of business. 1t is possible
to consolidate until the corporations
under single management not only
become a source of great danger to the
public, such as the beef trust, the coal
trust, the Standard Oil Company, the
steel trust, the sugar trust, the tobac-
co trust and others, but they can be-

wasteful in their operation, instead of

The latest volume Of Murray's sNew

Last fall an English woman of let

before she finally succeeded in bring

"a lady has been hurt-thrown from

in the road. Can you give me some

breathless anxiety.

The Singers.

mo Sln9eFSs
God sent his singers upon earth,
With songs Of sadness and Of mirth,
That they might touch the hearts OF men
And bring them back to heaven again.
The first, youth with soul of fire.
Held in his hand a golden Tyre:
Through groves he wandered and by
streams,
Playing the music OF our dreams.
The second, with a bearded face.
Stood singing in the market place
And stirred with accents deep and loud
The hearts Of all the listening crowd.
A gray old man. the third and last,
Sang in cathedrals dim and vast
While the majestic organ rolled
Contrition from Its mouths OF gold.
And those who heard the singers three
Disputed which the best might be,
For still their music seemed to start
lDiscordant echoes in each heart.
But the great Master said: II see
mo best In kind, but in degree:
II gave various gift to each.
To charm, to strengthen and to teach.
's'These are the three great chords Of
might,
land he whose ear is tuned Alright
Will hear no discord in the three,
But the most perfect harmony"

$43.50. So you see that even If not fin
ished the farmer realizes a nice little
bunch of money for his calves, quick
money and off his hands. If properly
fed and we'll handled they can be made
to gain two and one-half pounds per
day and will weight twelve hundred
pounds: will sell for "baby beef" $500
per hundred or $1,000.
From experience l have proved that
1 can make nine hundred and sixty
pound steers in sixteen months from
a calf that will sell for top notch
feeder, with an average of grain feed
OF four pounds per day, thus costing
me for grain alone (grain at 1c per
pounds) $500. This steer brings
$432O and leaves me balance of
$500 for milk and roughage. In case
he is finished he weighs twelve hum
dred pounds, and brings me $1,000. He
has cost me eight pounds of ground
feed and oats per day, or $4,000, leav-
ing me $4,000 for milk and roughage.
This pays better than a gold mine-at
least the average gold mine. Can
this be kept up for another year? We
will see. Even supposing this two and
a half pound daily gain can be kept up
for another year, they would weigh
twenty-one hundred pounds, this is
too heavy for the market, and will
cost too much feed. Steers Of this
weight would bring about five cents
perhaps, or $1O5.00, at least $4,000
more than the sixteen month steer. 1t
takes great stretch Of the magma
ton for man to think there is money
in keeping a 2-year-old steer on full
feed for $4,000.
The sixteen months old steer brings
1880 if not finished, $1,000 If finished
and the food of the smaller or
younger steer has certainly cost less
than the older and larger steer, for
the reason that the animal is younger,
develops more muscle and its powers
of indigestion and assimilation are
better.

Worms in Hogs.
NEBRASKA Farmer.1

Hogs affected with worms in the
intestines, run down in condition, be-
come very thin and lank, back is arch
ed, eyes dull, refuse feed, walk stiffly,
and appear lneless. The worms may
be very numerous, in bad cases COM
pletely filling the intestines. The
pigs die if not treated. To secure the
best results, hogs should receive in
dividual treatment. Twenty-four
hours before administering treatment
very little feed should be given them.
Then give the following medicine as
a drench, to each one-hundred-pound
hog: larger or smaller hogs should re-
ceive dose in proportion:
Oil of turpentine, drachms; liquor
ferri dialysatus u drachm; raw lin
seed oil, 6 ounces
If necessary repeat the dose in four
days. After worms have been removed
give the tonic recommended above, to
put the pigs in condition.

THE ROLE OF BACkBITER.

The natural historian who writes
The Washington, Iowa, Press, should
apply his keen sense of discrimination
to the motives of men as well as of the
lower animals. Then he would not be
betrayed into furthering silly SANDER
as when he said
They say Governor Cummins writes
to Iowa chautauquas asking the privi-
lege of speaking for car fare and hotel
expenses, and he tells what awful
things railroads are and how we ought
Ito have statewide primary election
law.
This sneaking little falsehood Is part
OF the contemplate backbiting CAM
paign, which has been waged by few
men and newspapers against the gov
Arnor and which has been of late re-
newed with redoubled virulence. Its
patent and self-evident untruthfulness
and the motive that prompted its
propagation are so apparent that to
admit It to place in the news COLI
umns OF a reputable paper is to dis
credit either the common sense or the
candor Of the editor who SO admits it.
It IL nothing to be refuted but to be
condemned for its contemptibleness.
Governor Cummins is a high class
chautauqua speaker from the same
causes. that make him one Of the finest
lawyers and most pleasing orators in
the country. If he has ever spoken
to q small assemblage no one knows
I OF It or has forgotten the incident. He
has message to convey and the
"common people" whose reign" he
predicts gather In crowds to hear 1t.
Thence comes the petty SANDER. 1t is
noticeable that none of these papers
take up and analyze the governors
chautauqua speeches to his confusion.
They fall back on the last resort OF
knayes, the propagation and circula-
ton Of such stuff as that quoted above.
No editor in Iowa has been more
widely quoted than he of the Washing
ton. Press. Surely he should not OBJ
ject to another's popularity. Much thai
the governor says disagrees with the
Press editor So does much that he
eats. but beef and mustard shall not
perish from the earth on that account.
1t is a charitable and not entirely I'M
founded conclusion that the bitterness
i Of the Press against the governor is
the result of political dyspepsia and
sour political stomach.
"They say" Who says? The Des
Moines Capital said it and claimed
that it had letter to prove Its asser-
ton. Then the Register and Leader
dared the Capital to publish the let
ter and offered to print it If the Capital
could produce it. No such letter as
claimed had been sent or received and
the Capital again backed down dis
credited and exposed. Manufactured
dispatches and unfounded assertion
are not uncommon in the Capital office
and this was an occasion where his
tory was repeated. There was no more
truth in the Capitals assertion than in
its notorious Conger interview, and
other instances that may readily be
called to mind where the Capitals zeal
overran its truthfulness.
