the Boer war had been thoroughly d.
gested, and that particular pains were
being taken to remedy the defects and
strengthen the weak places which had
been revealed by that war He claimed
that in its artillery branch the English
army was now superior to any in Eu-
rope.
Perhaps Lord Roberts sensational
pronouncement is due to some extent
to his personal sympathy for his old
comrade and lieutenant, General
Kitchener, who has been making a
hard fight in favor of the reorganiza-
ton of the army in India General
Kitchener appears to have won his

is also the opinion of many English

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SEES.
SIONS.

The United States government will
place at the disposal of the Russian
and Japanese peace ENJOYS two
yachts to be used during the meetings
at Portsmouth, N. H. Although either
Of the vessels is large enough to &C.
commodate both parties it is thought
better to provide two SO that the rep.
resentatives of the warning nations
shall not be too close to each other
during the intermissions between4 the
sessions Of the peace" meetings.
Such provisions seem at first glance
to be rather unnecessarily elaborate
but such Is not the case. The United
States government, in inviting the
car and the mikado to send their

responsibility for which this govern.
ment is answerable to the whole world
of nations The sessions of the peace
conference must be guarded with Sc.
crecy, they must be held under cir
cumstar' that will aid the move
ment toward pc &c in every possible
way. If the discussions, which will
naturally be heated, should be con-
tinued after the meetings, as might be
expected if the Russians and the jap
anese were CHARTERED on the same
boats or used them on trips from the
city of Portsmouth to the government
island where the meetings will be held
when the pleripotentiaries leave
Washington, the opp, ~tunity to think
calmly on the important questions
would be denied the ENJOYS. A per-
sonal quarrel might become SO bitter
that it would delay or possibly prevent
conclusion of peace between the
two countries. All these things, it
seems from developments which are
now becoming public property, have
been thought over by the President
and he has taken measures to make
for SUCCESS in every way.

FREE MARRIAGES.

Cedar Rapids Republican. - The
mayor of Marshalltown makes the offer
OF marrying people free of charge. He
intends this to be an inducement to
matrimony. He has been reading some
OF the present day utterances in favor
Of more marriages and more children
and, no doubt believes he Is doing a
great good for humanity. That he
might be mistaken may not have oc-
Cured to him. But the trouble with
the present Is not that there are too
few marriages, but that the are too
many marriages of the kind that can
not afford to pay the usual marriage
fees. If young man and q young
woman can not afford to pay $1.25 for
being tied for time and eternity, might
l. not be better to dissuade them from
taking such step instead of urging
them on by offering to perform the
ceremony free Of charge.
Has 1t not occurred to the mayor of
Marshalltown that every man who
takes his intended bride before him is
insulting her whom he would mike his
wife by confessing that she is not
worth Sl.25 or IS, which is sometimes
preachers honorarium? What should
woman think Of man who would
take her before the mayor Of Mar
shalltown? Ought she not feel insulted >
Can she afford to agree to live with
man who is not willing to pay fee
of $1.25? The mayor Of Marshalltown

good kind of notoriety Marshall

LARGEST FARM in IOWA.

w. P. Adams, of Sac County, Controls
$500 Acres of Land In This State.
w. P. Adams of Sac county, is said
TO have the largest farm in the state
under one management. It contains
ten sections or 6,4O0 acres. This big
farm has most modern and complete
equipment OF horses. sheds, cribs, ma
chine shops, seed mems quarters, SUI
perintendent's and forman's resi-
I.nces. telephones, electric houses,
power house, stables, machinery, lights
finely graded roads on all section lines
and model summer residence for the
proprietor. About $50 mules are used
for farm power, and over 100 men are
employed during the summer All wet
spots are thoroughly tile drained and
not spot of waste land is to be seen
on the great farm. The principal crop
raised is corn, the corn rotated with
oats and clover
There is not fowl on the farm
and only COWS enough to furnish milk
for the place. Neither are any hogs
or cattle kept, the clover hay and the
pastures being used by great focks
of sheep. which system Mr. Adams
finds enables him to easily maintain
the fertility Of the soil The bulk Of
the corn is sold, amounting this year
to 100000 bushels. or an average yield
Of f1fty-five bushels per acre. The
greatest pains are taken in saving,
selecting and caring for the seed corn
and no like .ea of corn in the state
has probably SO perfect stand Mr..
Adams has Just finished marketing the
last of $4,000 sheep which he fed this
winter and on which he realized net
profit of 81 per head, or the sum Of
| $4,000. The farm as conducted by
Mr.. Adams is mos. profitable invest.
ment and is furnishing to the farmers
of that part Of the state many object
lessons in the line Of what is possible
where business systems are applied to
agriculture.-The Centerville Citizen.

LITTLE BoBs AND TOMMY.

Little Bobs," as the British soldier
lovingly calls Lord Roberts, has proven
his bravery on more than one occa-
sion and he is respected and honored
for it not only by the soldiers them
selves but by the British public and
the world at large. But never did he
need bigger stock Of nerve to sus-
tain him than when, short time ago.
he stood up before the British people
and Informed them coolly that the
army Of which they are wont to speak
so proudly, is neither efficient nor we'll
trained. The average Britisher is
more than contented on his little is
land and it is an insult to him to even
hint that some things might be
changed for the better over there. But
about the army he is especially sensi.
tive. Kipling's lines are only half
true. He wrote
Its Tommy this an Tommy that an
Tommy run away,
But it's thank you, Mr. Atkins, when
the band begins to play"
But in spite of all his appearance of
nonchalance the Britisher thinks much
of "Mr. Atkins" whether the band is
playing or silent, and for some of the
defenders of the crown the musicians
are piping all the time. Lord Roberts
took his reputation in his hands when
he calmly told England that her army
is not fit to be classed as flrst-rater.
1t is difficult. however, to reconcile
Lord Roberts declaration with the re-
cent speech of Premier Balfour in the
house of commons, in which he de-
clared that never in all her history was
England better prepared to uphold her
prestige on land and sea- Mr.. Bal
four said the same thing in maya
zine article several months ago, In
which he stated that since the Boer
war the English army and navy had

THE woMAN's WOMAN CRITIC.

I HE WOMAN'S WOMAN CRITIC.
No critic of woman can be SO caustic
and so pronounced as a woman critic.
All the little faults that men consider
as nothing or else choose to overlook
are picked up and moulded together
into big ball of fault by the artful
woman who is criticising women The
American woman, or the American
lady, as she is called in this instance,
comes in for severe analysis by a
woman from India, Baba Bharita, who
says:
"She Is lady partner who has
agreed, before church altar or in a
registry office, to live together with
the man of her momentary choice, as
long as it suits her or the man, in
suite of rooms or house for the pur-
pose of enjoying and hunting material
pleasures. 1t is lady who has abol-
ished the home as relic of a barbar-
GUS age, and turned 1t into sitting,
talking and sleeping rooms, with COM
Portable or luxurious conveniences;
who has made over the kitchen and
housekeeping to hired cooks and maid
servants or housekeepers to escape the
bother of worldly worries; in many
cases abolished it along with the home,
preferring to eat ready cooked foods in
hotels and restaurants 1t is lady
who tries to expiate the sin of her
share in race suicide by caring more
for baby dog fed to square proper
portions than for human being. 1t is
lady who knows no more of bringing
up children than she knows of keeping
- -.
hates"
While it is true that there are some
women in America, just as there are in
every other civilized part of the world,
where this description in it's entirety
would fit. that fact does not signify
that all American women are meas
ured by that standard. The typical
American woman loves her husband,
her children and her home, enjoys
them because she is true woman and
because she is type of the American
woman. She is devoted to them all
and though she gives part of her
time to other pleasures they come sec
ond to her home life. She is a prac-
tical, sensible woman, much more so
than her self appointed critic from the
other side of the world.
Baba Bharati has made a superficial
investigations of conditions in
America. She has possibly known
a half dozen American women,
one or two who come within the
classification she has outlined. But
she does the American woman an
injustice with her criticism of the
one woman or possibly two out of
the half dozen. She should travel
through the country, should Baba Bha-
rati. she should visit the happy homes
that disDrove he sensational declara-
tions. She should investigate fully,
and then. were she a man, she would
join that innumerable throng of Ameri-
can men. American gentlemen, who
bow to Americas womankind.
