Iowa's Place.

In many respects Iowa is the greatest
state in the union. Iowa is great in
public schools, in small colleges, in
churches, in agriculture, in states
men and in the sturdy honesty of her
yoemanry.
Iowa has no big cities filed with
unassimilated foreigners, spreading
anarchy and discord or holding the
balance of power at election time.
Iowa is an empire of towns aud
villages and the people move slowly
but usually together. No state in the
union has an ADLER delegation in the
national house of representatives,. Mer
