THE, NEXT GOV TlRNOR.

The Journal is slow to believe that
Shaw of Dolliver or even Senator Alli-

the republican party Of Iowa to non'in-

President Roosevelt calls important

THE MODERN IOWA FARM HAND.

1t can't be said of the Iowa hired
man that he hasn't kept pace with
the times, for he has. The inven-
tors and the theory makers have
made it possible for the Iowa farm
err to work hundred acres as easily
now as he could ten thirty years
ago. This Improvement in the
farmers condition in a few years
finds its mate in the improvements.

his hired man. Thirty years ago
when necessity required a hired
man it supplied enough hard knocks
to leave it an open question as to
whether he or the OK on the breaking
pillow had the harder time of 1t. His
pay of $40 month was considered =
license for his boss to load on all
the abuse that he and his family
were able to invent. The number
of hours he put in each day was
none of his business. The boss de-
cided that. Whether it was from
a. M, until 10 p. M, or few hours
more or less was matter entirely
within the jurisdiction of the boss.
All this is now changed. The hired
man of 1905 is a being as modern IN
all his requirements as the girl with
the kangaroo walk and the monkey
wrench hand shake. When hired
men now sign for seasons service
they don't ask for a IL hour day,
sleeping room with carpets and
lace curtains, the privilege of keep
ing a horse and buggy and go to
circus and ball game whenever the
notion strikes them, all these con-
cessions are understood. The mod

and white vests Saturdays after p.

have formed no petticoat attachments,
are very time in their demands and
tastes and are showing an exceptional

"HOsS' VS.. AUTOMOBILE
Iwatertown, 8. D., Public Opinion1
THE editor of this great family jour
nal is not the owner of an automobile.
He owns four-legged boss, instead.
Il his sympathy runs in either direc-
ton it is toward the boss rather than
the machine. There are auto drivers
excuse us, we should say chauffeurs
who are just as careful as drivers OF
horses, and there are others who are
lust as careless as some teamsters.
There are auto divers who take more
pains to avoid frightened horses than
heamsters take to avoid fright on the
part of their horses. Drivers of autos

may spell it without the III" in the
first syllable, If you like-will "aver-
age up" tolerably well with other
people One thing that probably ag-
gravates autoists is the failure OF
many drivers of horses to grant at
least half of the road. 1t is no incon-
venience whatever for a teanlster
heavy load, to give way a
little when an auto comes UP behind
him so the machine may pass without
going out into rough ground or bitches.
Not one auto driver in five will fail
TO stop his machine, IL necessary if
The driver of an approaching team
gives a signal by uplifting the hand or
otherwise indicating that his team is
fractions. On the other hand, occasion
ally an autoist will rush pelmell by, In
either meeting a team or passing one
going in the same direction, regardless
Of the action of the horses-but such
,hauffeu1.s, so far as we have observ-
ed, are comparatively few. To offset
these, there are transfers who refuse
to give an inch of the road for an auto
regardless of the condition of the high
way If he knows that his horses are
not skittish. It's the careless, don't
give-a-cent sort of autoist who helps
create sentiment among the owners
Of horses against autos in general, and
1t is the don't-give- an inch driver of
horses who aggravates and annoys
The operator of the machine. A little
more of the "You first, my dear Gas
TOM on the part of chauffeurs and
teamsters would soon wipe out what
little bad blood" may exist between
the owners of horses and the owners
