was of u high order and reflected credit
both on the author and the jasper
school. The thought which she en-
phasized was the danger of permitting
opportunities to 90 by while we stand

To Miss Tunnel fell the lot Of prepar.
ing Il history of the class. She followed
the vicissitudes Of the class, from lis
entrance into the high school three years
ago, with membership of II, until its
appearance on the night Of graduation
with but four Of its members left.
Miss Keener as yalidictorian in behalf
of the class thanked the Board Of Educa-

the other classes and all others who had
contributed in any way toward assisting
them in their pursuit of an education.

THE CORN CROP.

Everybody in business is now wait
ing for the great corn crop to pass
the danger point which, barring wide
spread and increasingly improbable
disaster, it will do in the next two or
three weeks. Crop reports during the
week have, taken altogether, main.
tanned their favorable character,
though the governments report on
cotton, which is this month issued
with proper precautions to insure its
accuracy, confirms other authorities
that the cotton yield will be consid.
erably below that of last season. But
the cotton crop is not a national af-
fair. That distinction belongs to the
corn crop alone and it is only natural
that all the land should stand idle, but
'at attention" until it can be an
nounced that the corn crop is out of
danger Iowa is greatly interested,
but large crop of corn such as the
present promises to be has many
ramifications. There is. in the first
place, the railroad traffic on the corn
| itsell and the greatly increased traffic
| of the many products into which this
great cereal enters, especially in the
great provision industry. Then
comes the enormous traffic incident
to the great prosperity throughout
the vast corn belt that bumper har
vest at hign prices means. Our coun
try is essentially an agricultural coun
try; its wealth comes from the ground
and the prosperity of the producer
quickly spreads to the entire fabric.
Commercial and financial circles are
just now wearing an optimistic ap
pearance Much interest attaches tt
the August report of the department
of agriculture on the grain crops
! which will appear next Thursday
Wall street is looking forward to ont
OF the most prosperous years in rail
road history. The earnings Of tn
great granger roads when the crop
begin to move will make comparison
with a lean wheat crop year, AM
these comparisons may be expected t.
present long series of stimulating
influences throughout the autumn an
winter.

A MAN WITH ENOUGH.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil.-TEe no
ton that the desire for riches is never
satisfied. no matter how great the &C
cumulations of the individual, has
been exploded. That there is such
thing as getting enough money has Il
current demonstration in the case OF
Otto Young, who has just sold his half
interest in The Fair department store
of Chicago. and who is accounted one
of the wealthiest men of that city. The
theory that the more we get the more
We want may find exempliflcation in

DESIRE" says Mr.. Young.
No statement is made in the ac-
counts at hand of just how much
money Mr.. Young has. but that there
are few people in southwestern Iowa
subject to shame at his example is
| judged from the statement that his
profits from The Fair store alone in
the past nineteen years have amount
| ed to between S12,000,O00 and $4,000,
| 600. Whether this constitutes a mere
| item in the fortune of Mr.. Young, or Is
the body of his wealth, is not known
and need not be known to justify the
conclusion that he saw himself Sc
cure from the famished wolves Of
want before relenting in the quest fol
gold. II do not Think says Mr.
Young, sit would be possible to lay
down any fixed sum as the amount g
reasonable man should be contentec
to obtain-the amount each man con.
siders enough depends, of course, or
his personal inclinations, on his age
and on his health I am go years old
and I feel that / no longer desire tt
add to my wealth. I have sufficien
for my personal wishes" In this con
nection it will be interesting to al
who are trying to discern the line O
enough, to further know that Mr.
Young is a man of extremely quie
tastes, from which we assume that HI
does not wear plaid suits or gorgeous
waistcoats. A man with tastes in thes'
directions might not reach the line o
plenty so soon. But Mr.. Young like
horses. This is something to consider
| Nothing is said about automobiles.
Perhaps Mr.. Young, as the man, VIII
has enough, is only the proverbial ex
ception that proves the rule that me-
never get enough, but his case, lose
nothing in interest for that

is also true that they can be mini
mized by care and never failing
watchfulness on the part of the man
agement of the roads. If rules look
ing to the safety of passengers and
trainmen are not rigidly enforced by
the officials the trainmen can hardly
be expected to observe them as they
should. In the same way, if safety ap
planes are not used by the roads and
every possible measure taken to in
sure safety in travelling, the trainmen
can not be expected to take the care
that the officials do not take.

A WAR BY WOMEN.

Since Mrs. Nation sprang into pop
ularity via the Ratchet and divorce
court route, women have not been so
active in the cause of temperance as
they were before their Kansas sister
became famous and nuisance. But
now the effect of her work is failing
temperance movement, one that may
be expected to result in good, is being
fostered by women all over the coun.
try. Notable among these are the
women of the Catholic church. Some
time ago they organized in New York
society to further the cause Of tenn
perance and named it Daughters of
Faith" The movement has been
taken up in Chicago and other places
and bids fair finally to extend all over
the country.
While the Daughters will be exclu.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

Successive reports of the interstate
commerce commission emphasize
anew every three months the truth Of
The now well known principle, that
unlimited sums may be spent upon
safety appliances and improved equip
ment without preventing accidents en-
tirely SO long as the working of rail
road trains must be in the hands of
fallible human beings. In the COM
MISSIONS accident bulletin No. 10,
this cause shines out conspicuously
among the factors producing fatalities
and injuries The totals in the sum-
mary of casualties are not strikingly
different from those in the bulletin
covering the same quarter Of the pre-
ceding year, though there is a decrease
of twelve in the number of passengers
killed in train accidents.
Collisions and derailments were in
large extent due to causes beyond
the power of efficient managers to
reach, although the proportion
charged to defects of roadway and
equipment" is still large, Two of the
derailments are charged to the fault
of the tower man; one to a runaway
train, due to bad management of the
air brakes by the engineman; one tc
the freezing of a signal in a clear pc
sition, and one to defect in a de
railing switch. Other cases are re
ported as due to the more ordinary
kinds of carelessness. In one in
stance the engineman. had been or

notable incident in the list occurred

RUssIA's NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.

The results of the social uprisings in
Russia are beginning to show them
selves in no uncertain way, and press
interview given yesterday by an Off
cial to a st. Petersburg correspondent
is good evidence that the czar intends
to do all in his power to placate his
angry subjects without endangering
his hold on the throne
''Fhe first base on which the new
project for national assembly rests"
as to the lines along which the princi-
pies of the project were developed, sis
a legacy from history. National repre-
sentation in Russia is nothing new for
the emperors, in times past, often sum-
moned persons familiar with local con-
ditions to discuss national affairs. 1t
is the imperial will that this condition
be given permanency and established
in the form of a council, composed of
two elements-the first of men in the
service of the state, appointed by the
governor, namely the present council
Of the empire, the second, of worthy
local representatives selected by the
people, Both elements are intended to
to be on an equal footing
The second base, SO the corresponds
ent's informant declared, is the consul
tative character of the participation of
representatives of the people in the
solving OF national problems, the en-
peror's wish being to provide DELHI
erative and not legislative body.
AS third principle, the Russian Off
cial says that it is not the aim to drag
the country into petty politics, such
as seen in western nations. but to call
it to participate in the difficult but re
munerative labor of national politics
The practica. character of the future
assembly is one of it's most important
features, and the motto of the trainers
mot a reform, but reforms" is rec
ogniZnd.
If all these provisions are carried
out Russia will have taken a forward
step that will pay her for all her losses
in the war with Japan.
