What She AccompIishes at Home
While Husband is Reaching High
est Political Goal
FIRST LADY OF LAND

In the great political game which every
four years ends in the election of Presi-
dent of the United States the President
makers give absolutely no thought to the
possible Mrs. President" yet it is a truism
well proved that no nation has ever risen
above the level of its women, hence the
Mrs. President" is of paramount impor-
lance, since, as the first lady in the
land" her manners habits, tastes and per-
sonality are practically public property and
set the pace for two-thirdS of the women
of the country.
1t speaks well for the American system of
rearing and educating its women that not
one who has gained the high social position
of chatelaine of the White House has ever
failed to discharge her duties there with
dignity and true courtesy. AND in all the
IL years OF the nations existence no wom-
an attached to the Presidents household
has ever by word or action brought the
lightest blush to the brow of modesty or
caused an American to wish that some
other woman might have been elected to
fill the high place because better fitted. If
Presidents are not born, they at least are
made. They are educated in the great world
to fill advancing political positions till at
last the highest is attained
With Mrs. President it is different

banding from crude young manhood into
the worldly wise and successful man of bust

her attention and she chairman of the

the head of the family can make not too

AT least she thinks she has lost step,
and while every woman believes that her
husband is fitted for the highest honors
she is apt to dread the necessity of that

forced to share those honors fearing that

7. F. Oldt, Of Dubuque, one chief Walt,

Whitman Club, an organization of
school book men, have made arrange
ments for holding the annual meeting
of the club at the Chamberlain hotel
during the week of the State Teach
ers' Association There is, however.
some question whether or not any of
the representative men of the club Will
be present at the meeting. Two or
three times during the last year there
has been considerable light thrown on
to the club and the chief blow was from
Waterloo where it is alleged the school
board refused to employ member or
the Walt Whitman Club as city super
intendent. There have been allegations
that the club is composed for political
purposes to influence the selection of
school teachers. and while ev-
cry charge that has been made
against the club has been strenu-
ously denied by the members and Off
GERS, including the action of the Wat
erloo school board. yet there is some
suspicion in the minds of number of
school men 1t is known that some OF
the members of the club are rather
doubtful about the propriety of main
tanning heir membership. The meet
ing this year will arouse considerable
interest among the school men in the
matter Of the attendance at the am
nual meeting.

MAY SHUT OFF WATER
Ice Gorge in Des Moines River is AZ

Fort Dodge High Water Also a
Menace.

Fort Dodge, Dec. 22-The ice gorge
in the Des Moines river now threatens
the city water supply. The gorge now
extends over a distance of more than
six miles, and the continued warm
weather tends to cement the flows
tighter, bringing the stage of water up
over five feet above normal.
Late In the fall, Superintendent Pray
took precautions to guard against such
condition, but the high stage of the
water renders all his precautions use
less. Anchor ice is forming at the
bottom of the channel in the swiftest
current, and is extremely difficult to
dislodge. The dynamite would wreck the
intake of the water works, and cannot
be employed. The intake is being
watched day and night.
