Fort Dodge Post; Professor Lowell
having said the canals on the planet Mars
are artificial, would it not be good idea
to import a few of the bsings who made

have ''done things" according to the pro-

Red Oak Express: The pupils of the
Jefferson high school very much wanted a
piano in their room so day was set for
them to earn the money to pay for it,
Part of them gave supper and earned
500 in that way, some of the boys and
one teacher sawed and split wood and
earned $40. some husked corn, sold
candy, washed dishes, and when their
earnings were all in they found they had
$500 as result of the days work. Good
for the Jefferson high school, Some of
those pupils will be heard from again
some day.
Editor Wolf of the Alton Democrat got
married recently and is now busily en-
gagged in '.writing it up" Some latitude
is usually allowed the newly wed, but
If ever man made consumate idiot OF
himself and seemed to glory in it, it is
Editor Wolf. He is one of the would be
humorists of the Iowa PRESS. Thank
is sample of his wit. sShe This wife) is
undoubtedly the most adorable little ami
NAL that ever happened. Excuse me a
moment while bite her ear" We could
better excuse brother Wolf if he would
4 keep still while aud spare the long suffer
ing public. The trouble with most hui
morists is that in the everlasting effort tc
sustain their sepStation for wit they write
yards Of stuff that is about as fiat as the
proverbial pancake and not nearly SC
digestible. We would rather be an
insurance president than have reputa.
ton as wit.
Audubon Republican: The fact tina
Secretary Shaw is continued member
of the cabinet is the best evidence that hi
has made fine record-one that bring
honor to himself and the state of Iowa
of which he is one of the most distin
guished citizens. Four years ago Govern
or Shaw was invited by the President t.
become Secretary of the Treasury with
out solicitation by himself or anybody
else. When the President was inaugu
rated last spring he again invited the Sec
rotary to remain, and he promised to do S,
1905. Now to have the President extene
third invitation and insist upon hi
giving up his plans to go abroad and re
main in the cabinet ''until congress ad
journs anyway and longer if you will il
certainly distinguished and unusua
honor, coming from such man as Presi
dent Roosevelt. 1t does seem to us tina
this action of the President ought to b.
sufficient to shut off the uncalled for ant
repeated attacks made by some paper
and politicians upon the character ant
work Of Secretary Shaw.
