the arm and navy. United States
Judges are expected to retire, but as
the act is not compulsory there is a
disappointing neglect of their oppor-
tunities to enjoy leisure and pension.
Gen. jacob II. Smith,, who some time
ago was retired from the army not
only notes the fact that few men in
America have the nerve to retire but
he adds that America is not a fit place
for man who has retired, to live. He
has no associates. Everybody with
whom he would be glad to have a glass
and chat is SO dumb busy that the
retired individual cannot, get at him.
So Gen. Smith has been obliged. to
ing abroad.
Gen. Smith tells his experiences
whimsically, but at the foundation Of
his complaint there is a real national
grievance. The fact that men hang
on like grim death to their Jobs until
grim death prizes them loose Is a
weakness rather than a strength In the
national character, Japan has her
elder business men, but America has
neither. The man Of so with millions
to his credit dashes about competing
f1ercely with the boy of 80 who has a
pile to make The son Of the great
business man never expects to get hold
of the business until the governor
gets so sick he cannot sit up. The
business of this country has been built
up on the theory that 1t Is morally
wrong and personally despicable to be
a loafer. But the theory Is carried to
an extreme. There Is no old age, no
twilight Of life In America. 1t Is the
full glare Of the sun and then sud
den darkness.

MISS ROOSEVELT A TYPE.

New York commercial.-Mis Alice
Roosevelt. after the most remarkabl
tour an American girl has ever
made has returned to her own coun-
try with her equilibrium safely main
tanned. She was the subject of UNI
usual honors by foreign potentates, of
adulteration and praise by her own
'countrymen continuously; but Miss
Roosevelt seems to understand that
the honors conferred are not so much
due to unusual qualities possessed by
herself as for other manifest reasons.
These are two: She is splendid type
of the American girl whom everybody
naturally honors: and she is the
daughter of the President, thereby Sc
curing her exaltation to a conspicuous
place She doubtless understands
and the modesty and simplicity of her
actions warrant the opinion-that she
is only one of thousands of a race, each
entitled to the same degree Of hom-
age and respect from American men,
and receiving it. Thus we expect to
see the Presidents daughter return
from her foreign tour proud and happy
in the enjoyment of honors, but with
her head in nowise, turned. She was
treated just as we wish to see all
American women treated when travel
ing, and the nobility of the orient have
had an opportunity to study. not a
princess" but an American queen OF
whom there are many and of whom
this girl of democratic simplicity is a
fair representative.

OPTIMISTIC Mr.. cHoATE.

New York Globe.-Mr. Choata agrees
with Mi. Carnegie ana Mr. Rockefeller
that the opportunities for young men
are greater today than they ever were
in every trade. in every profession, in
al: grades OF human activity, he sees
work for ambitious. capable young
men to do Witt: the view that the
stsoycd chance for Individual advance
-.lent he has no sympath~
At is worthy OF note that it is among
the r,aen OF action that his note of OPP
iimism Is most commonly found.
while the cnlookers are inclined to less
hopeful opinion. From the pulpit rath-
er than The market place have come
words of encouragement for the
Young The theorist sees in the en-
wealth; the man of affairs finds in the
material growth OF the country multi
plying avenues to the goal of success.
Each perceives in self interest, always
the controlling cause, an opposite eff
feet. To the preacher it seems to
mean nothing but individual aggran-
dizement among the few whose OPP
portunities are great. To the man
who has been through the stress of
active life it means a constantly in
creasing demand for men that can dc
the work that has to be done. The
first sees the rich reaping the harvests
others have sown. The second knows
that the competition among the rich
urges them to outbid each other for
efficiency.
Most men will probably agree with
Mr.. Choate. For men of trained intel

grows larger every day. The demand
for them is Greater now than it evel
was, and their compensation is gov

nurses were Misses Mary Catherine
Sales. Florence Virginia Spooner and
Elizabeth Agnes Rice. Regarding the
address, which it published in full, the
Centerville Citizen has the following:
"The commencement address was a
very scholarly one, very timely and
very practical It dealt with a sub
ject very difficult to properly handle,
but DR.. Brockman succeeded admirably
in interesting his audience and at the
same time brought the truth forcibly
home to lis hearers.
CDR Brockman congratulated the
city on its excellent hospital, CHASING
the institution with its schools
and churches. the three caring
for the mental, moral and
physical advancement of the commun-
ity. He spoke Of the needed aid and
urged liberal donations for its support
He spoke Of the training school de.
partment and referred to trained
nurses as being necessity as well as
a luxury. The noble mission Of the
nurse was touched upon at some
length and the heroism, self sacrifice
faithfulness and integrity required be
ing emphasized"

ROOSEVELT WINNING THE SOUTH

Representative Spencer Blackburn.
of North Carolina, In an interview In
Washington: President Roosevelt has
made great inroads on the democratic
party in the south and many are en-
for him. They used to
say: IF --cu want to vote for Roose-
welt, go black YOUR face" Now they
declare that he has taken up Jeffer-
sonian doctrines, and that he looks at
things from their standpoint. That
enables them to approve of his policies
without rcnding themselves out of
their party. IL the President wins as
much demoncratic support in other
states as he did in North Carolina, he
will be able to turn it to better account
than if he had stayed at home for an
extra session of congress. The self
ishness of republican officeholders has
Blocked party success in North Caro-
lima, but now that Roosevelt's visit
has split the democratic opposition,
there will be new alignment.

The magnificent stone gate recently
completed at the Court street entrance
to the Ottumwa cemetery was built
with a fund founded by the late j. w.
Edgerly, who left bequest of $1,000
for the erection of a gate and lodge
at the cemetery. This, with the ac-
oumulated funds of the association,
made the handsome improvements
possible and the gate was erected at
a cost of nearly $4,000. Early next
spring the association contemplates
the building of chapel just inside
the gate.
The structure has frontage of for
ty feet and is built of the best rough
Bedford stone. Smooth cut stone be-
ing used for the corners and finish
ings, wrought iron is used in. the three
entrance ways. There are two small
gates for pedestrians and larger one,
