Benny ON the Grizzly Bear.

The grizzly bear is large and awk-
ward animal. with long hair and an
unpleasant disposition. He is fond Of
honey and sheep and will attack man
If pressed by burger. When you meet
a grizzly bear the best way is to turn
aside with great speed unless he Is In
a cage. But if he comes at you, and
you have Il gun loaded with real bull
lets, you can offer silent prayer and
shoot. That is what my grandfather
used to do, except that he did not offer
the silent prayer. He was not that
kind. Once there was man who went
out to hunt grizzly bear and did not
come back. The editor put 1t in his
paper that the man had found the
bear, but cont think the editor knew
anything about it. We, should be care
full to tell the truth and lead good
life if we want to be rich and respect
eel. The grizzly bear will also eat pea
nuts, and when he is enraged he emits
growls with great ferceness.-Ch Chicago

Brooklyn, June lin Grlnnell the
other day, the writer heard the first
bit of political gossip, this for IA long
time, as long ago as the death of the
hopes of the amendment killers. To
be sure what follows, is what Is go
ing to happen next year, but the work
ers to bring about the desired end need
all the time there Is. Hear the news.
Lacey is to be retired by one crowd
and possibly promoted by another.
Senator Maytag,of Newton, is to occupy
his seat in congress. Maytag doesn't
want to run against Lacey or any
other man. but his political friends
will make" him enter the race, this
on the ground that it is the duty OF
every Iowa. idea man to kill off every
stand-patter man and where such kill
ing is possible.
1t goes without saying that Maytag
can carry Jasper county. It's certain
that Poweshiek is now strongly anti
stand-patter. Wapello has recently
shown her teeth and no stand-patter
need apply. Mahaska is all torn up

Love-.

II care not for love in a cottage.
Though love in a cottage be sweet.
But give me love III the mountains.
Where earth and inflntty meet.
Oh, give me the roar and the murmur
OF the cataract up near the DOME
Where jewels VI God are a-sparkle,
And nature is home, sweet home!
Il care not for love in the city,
Though love In tho city be smart,
For canyons OF stone. brick and mortar
Keep crowding the light from my heart
While out In the glow OF Gods sunshine,
Away In my own border land.
With flowers and sunshine inviting.
The heart ana the soul may expand
care not for love In the desert.
Though love in the desert be wild.
And, like the great slums OF the city,
With carrion often defled.
But, whether in desert e. city,
Look up to the Star spangled blue
Look deep in the true heart Of nature,
And God will be smiling at you.

work were all that could be desired.
There are on the road from Onawa
south twelve miles many beautifully
kept homes and many more homes that
with little more care could be made
attractive. The man who lives In
town and passes a farm house sur
rounded with lawns, orchards gardens,
barns, and all we'll kept as are many
of the country places, cannot but con-
graduate the people who are so stu
a,ed Thirty years has brought many
changes to the farm home. The
smudge fires to drive way mosquitoes
and insects have given way to screen
doors and windows and screened por-
ches. The man of fifty who follows the
evolution of machinery on his farm IS
made to WONDER but say It's we'll, and
asks what next? But prudence has
taught him to be ready to adapt HIM
self to those improvements that may
come in day. The country is apacc

ONLY ONE REMEDY.
INIT. AYR Record.l


Representative Weeks. of the pres
a proposition to substitute a state dis
pensary law in the place of the pres
ent Iowa anti-liquor laws. The prop
osition reveals the fact that there is
great dissatisfaction with our present
law, and that remedies are being
sought in many quarters. We are all
resting on the top Of 81 fiery crater. The
control and the eventual extinction of
the liquor traffic Is the burning ques-
tion of the age. 1t is the most de-
structfve agent known to humanity.
1t will not be still: 1t will not down.
1t is a lslwless business and an Sir
repressible conflict" Politicians are
afraid of it, They are we'll aware that
there is dynamite in that car and they
keep away from it, A thousand rem
edies are offered. They are all quack-'
cry. There is only one remedy for
cancer, and that lis to cut 1t out. The
dispensary is q state monopoly and In
South Carolina can get whiskey who
wants it. The sale which began with
5000, have actually grown to $3,374,786,
and it all goes to the school fund
Public vice has found out an easy way
to support public education and has
become an unmitigated curse. In fact
the liquor traffic is lawless and does
not intend to be controlled. The
Weeks proposition has already been
proven a failure and fraud.

cey can barely carry his own county
in an out and out fight, with tariff re-
form and stand pattism as the issues.
| All this comes to the writer from a
source that is in hearty sympathy with
| the proposed reforms.
| And here is more interesting gossip.
Lacey is such a good standpatter, such
an out and out only true blue straight
republican that "Lafe' and the powers
that be, have decided to make him
Cummin's successor in the guberna-
torial chair. In this position he will be
in active training for the United
states senatorship, Johnny on
the spot" as it We're. This information
is strictly confidential and goes no
further.
Again and this is. a sad illustration
of the treachery of politics, it comes
to the writer from we'll posted poll
tician that secret Vaccinations against
Uncle George of the Sioux City jour-
nal are in progress here in central
Iowa. 1t seems that the tariff reform.
rate legislation crowd are not sure of
Geo. DIS political position on these
two mooted questions. And so quiet
work is even now being done to shelve
him as Il possible candidate to succeed
Cummins. Worse than all the animus
of this secret work comes from Per-
kin's own part of the state. In other
words northwestern Iowa republican
politicians are doing missionary work
in central Iowa, not in the interest of
any particular candidate, at present,
but suggesting the non-advisability of
nominating Mr. Perkins for governor,
this on the ground and with the argu-
ment that Curnmins' successor must
be free from all appearance of the evil
of standpattism, not even have the
smell Of Ere on his garments. Names
of the workers along this line are men
toned, but the writer omfts them for
obvious reasons.
From another source comes the
story that a certain standpatter of no
mean reputation. will be before the
next state convention as candidate
for governor, and his support in addi-
ton to that of his own county, will be
added to by the votes of one of the
Cummins' counties. This in line with
an agreement, a trade, at previous
convention, whereby faVoflte SOD OF
the Cumnins' county received the
vote of the standpatters of the other
county, and now they demand their
pound OF flesh when their favorite son
wants to be governor. Reports are to
The effect that the Cummins' men will
take their medicine, altho it is an
especially bitter dose.
1t is true that the state over is not
talking politics, but just as true is it
that there is to be a line UP at the
next general election, where the sheep
and the goats will be divided. The day
has gone by when the Cummins' sheep
will be longer cajoled by the stand
patter goats cry of harmony. LET
us have peace" will not be the slogan
next year. The Cummins' men oar-
tainly, at least in northwestern Iowa.
have been reading up the Good Book.
They now quote with JUNCTION HE that

which is sad or otherwise, just as you
look at it.

womanhood. The public objected to
her exhibiting herself very much as
it objects tn the hangman at the head
of public committee.
Really ii is much matter of pub
lie indifference whether Nan Patterson

NO USE FOR NAN.

Nan Patterson's failure to draw
money to the box office, while indi-
eating financial disaster for Miss Pat
terson, is perhaps indicative Of gain
in decent public sentiment. Time was
not so many years ago that any wom-
an who had Mans advantages of per
son and notoriety could coin her
counterfeit reputation into good money
on the stage. Miss Patterson's fail
ure proves that public taste has
changed for the better or that women
as to cease to attract attention. Like
most of her class Hiss Patterson has
overestimated her personal Importance
and mistaken morbid interest in
a peculiar crime for personal interest
in herself. The fact is that the public
has never been deeply interested in
Nan Patterson. There has been no
great wave Of public sympathy for
her She was accused of killing the
kind Of man whom everyone in his
heart feels ought to be killed, and the
public in general was curious to see
what the courts would do about it. 1t
was simply case of crooked chorus
girl killing a gambler and libertine.
The feeling of the public was not of
sympathy with Nan Patterson but of
satisfaction that Caesar Young got
"what was coming: to him." She stood
in the limelight as an executioner, not
as an outraged woman defending her

OUR OWN BUREAUCRACY.
TCedar RAPIDS Gazette

| There Is absolute need that the Am
orleans give some attention to their
own bureaucrats who hold positions in
| the United States senate. and who
have assumed the authority to dictate
to the people of the country as to what
they may or nay not have.
| AS a conservative measure, and to
prevent too frequent change, the term
| of the senators was made six years
while the terms of the representatives
elected by the people direct were fixed
at two years. The theory of the states
men at the time was that the people,
by direct VOTE were likely to make
! three times as many mistakes as were
the members of the bodies electing the
! senators, and that as a consequence
| they should have three times as many
opportunities to rectify their errors.
Men were sent to the senate as a mark
Of esteemn for their abilities. 1t has
come to pass that the longer terms Of
the serrat tors, and the custom by which
senator is returned for term after
term, making his office practically one
of life tenure, has tempted the very
class of politicians that We're in the
beginning most feared, and the senate
is controlled by jobbers and machine
men, elected by special interests, and

are against responsible government.
Nothing could more clearly demon
