FISHING FOR THE FARMERS
MONEY.

TDubuqua Telegraph Herald.l
Certain mail order houses in an eff
fort to secure control of farmers mon
ey are making various propositions to
them.
One house offers to sell the farmer
one share Of stock in the concern
worth par" for $3.50.
Other concerns offer the farmer six
he shall deposit with them.
OF course both propositions are put
before the farmer in most attractive
light. This is to be expected inasmuch
as there never was a proposition
framed to attract other peoples money
which did not have the appearance of
a "sure thing"
The farmer who should buy share
of stock in the company would not,
of course, have any voice in the man
agement of the concern. If he at
tempted to assert policy in conflict
with the managers desires, he would
be outvoted and sat upon.
The farmer has not so much money
that he can not take care of it HIM
self-either by loaning it out on the
security of good real estate mortgages
or by depositing it in banks, the Off
GERS and directors of which he knows
to be honorable men.
The farmer has not so much money
that it's Investment troubles him. 1t
is always good rule and a safe rule
not to give your money to other people
to handle it for you. The temptation
confronting them to handle it for
themselves is likely to be too strong
to be resisted.
Borrowing money on a guaranteed
interest payment basis is banking
business There are no banking laws
protecting the farmer who sends his
money to a Chicago mail order house;
no provisions against speculation with
the money to insure Its security, There
is positively not one Of the provisions

rwo p,fFrREN1 THANKSGIVING DAYS

"A wealthy and childleSs couple III
Detroit have gone into the adoptloh
business on an unprecedented scale by
adopting fifteen orphans and outcasts'
including two cripples. They bought fVe
acres and large house in the suburb
called Highland Park, and there they
& live with these adopted children. They
are taught to call Mr.. McGregor ia
ther and Mrs. McGregor mother. The
little ones will receive a proper edu-
cation, and, when adults, will be es-
tablished in business Other homeless
children will then take their place.
This seems more in the, line OF an
institution than home, but to what
better work could this wealthy couple
turn and what accomplishment could
bring more or greater satisfaction to
their closing years? II they are ordi-
narily successful and are spared to
carry out their most beneficent plan
thru an ordinary lifetime, imagine
what thanksgiving day reunion forty
years from now will mean to Father
and Mother McGregor, of Detroit, and
figure out of you can what their life
work will have done for. the world.
The Detroit case brings an Iowa
woman to mind who has in her quiet
and Christian way been doing for
Years in a small way what the Nc
Gregors have started to do on larger
scale. She is not a rich woman, her
health is poor and for ten years she
was unable TO rise from her chair, but
her widowed home in Nevada has
never been without one or two home
less children or youths seeking and Sc
curing an education. She made no
adoptions. but she furnished the home
and the chance for schooling. or the
number of boys aud girls who have
found her their helper, mentor and
friend, not one but has justified her
faith and assistance. Tom Platt COM
plains that his life has been failure.
The physically weak but morally strong
little woman at Nevada, who is giving
to other children the help and tender
ness due her own dead baby, is not
complaining Of failure.
Childless men and women who find
yourselves growing self centered and
selfish, who lack the natural objects of
affection and care, there are hundreds
of bright little boys and girls in Iowa
craving what you are longing to be-
stow. When you sit by lonely hearth
stone in the winter of your years, will
you regret the opportunities you pass
ed and wish that you too might live
again in the children you might have
nurtured into splendid manhood and
womanhood? Will you listen in vain
for footsteps on the threshold in the
thanksgiving days of your old age and
find the stiffness torture?

The Issue in Nebraska.

The progressive republicans who are
asking the railroads to keep their hands
off the state convention on Wednesday
do not wish to record themselves as
against the corporations" in all
things. But they do want to be under
stood as saying that the control of the
politics of this state by the railroads
must cease. They will make fight on
the floor of the convention not for in
furious or repressive measures directed
against any Nebraska industry, but
for the liberation of the republican
party from the influence that has
brought to the party practically all of
the troubles and difficulties it has en-
countered in the last fifteen years.

Casey on the Links.

[Denver Republican,
The links were bright and bonny wi
the tartan and the plaid
\ When the pride of Skibo village met
IL the best st. Andrews had;
The play was fast and furious and sair
the ball was whacked,
And in the final test o. skill one point
Maclaren lacked.
The cadies stood WI bated breath and
every face was set,
For not man was in the crowd but
had his silver bet,
And one lad cried as wi his stick Mac
laren lomed UP tall;
.Hoot, mon! now show 'em hoo old
Skibo kills the BALI"
The gowfer lookit at the sky and then
doom at the dirt,
And cannily he weighed his stick ana
loosed his plaided shirt;
He slowly planted both his feet and
then replanted each.
And dinna doot he swung his arms as
high as he could reach.
Grim death at just that moment would
have beer Maclaren's wish,
For the atmosphere RESPONDED to that
mighty, empty swish;
His stick flew Iike rocket, but-alas'
the woe decreed-
The ball rolled two feet sickly, when It
just lay doom and deed.
oh. somewhere in our boony land the
pipes skirl all the day,
And somewhere lads and lasses apout
and men are passing gay.

THE MEANNBss OF MILLIONS.

ltilC MnAAANANILNNAo w
Esprit Lake Beason.1
The Saviour must have looked far
down the avenue of the centuries Wheh
he said to his disciples, e'Veniy, l say
unto you, that rich man shall hafdiy
enter the Kingdom of heaven.
When we look for meanness tna1
passeth understanding 1T is not among
common thieves, for there Is method
in their meanness; not among the lg-
norant vicious or the criminal poor, TOT
dearth, of knowledge and depth OF need
plead strongly in palliation. 1t is along
the walks of wealth that deviltry finds
it's surest spawning ground.
And in what evident variety does
the meannesss of millions fiaunt ITSELF
In one case it runs to moral depraV-
ity and physical debauchery. II it
would here feed only upon the body
and soul Of its promoter, the net result
would hardly be worth considering
But it must in its mad pace run
amuck with mothers and wives and
misguided men and women as 1t strews
it's trail with broken hearts, ruined
hopes and homes and general demor-
alization. Then appears the arena OF
vanity for others mad with much
wealth who serve the devil as they
wear the livery of heaven. I'M their
fierce ambition they trample upon men,
women and children as oxen crunch
the gravel beneath their cloven hoofs.
In garnering gold they SOW in tears and
reap in blood, as they assume to soothe
mankind and placate outraged deity
with rich spoils Of commercial warfare.
All these there are, and then Russell
Sage. He boarded millions and saved
money as he marred the landscape
with the cheap raiment that covered
his dry bones. He used mankind as
ladders upon which to mount to COM
mercial eminence.
Here is an example of how he used
man made in the image of his Maker.
Fifteen years ago crank with an in'-
fernal machine approached the finan-
cier in his office and gave him just
space in which to save his life by
handing over an enormous sum. OF
course he f1inched and the crank made
good. In the dire emergency Sage
arose to the demand by grabbing a
clerk and offering him as a shield Of
sacrifice to save his own shriveled car
IL
process. Laidlaw, the clerk, was filled
full of slivers and odds and ends of Of
flee equipment. He lay in the hospital
for six months without word of SYM
pathy from any member of the Sage
family. He was doomed for life as a
physical wreck. No offer of dollar
was made to soften the hardship i'm
posed in AFFECT selfishness. He sued
Sage four times, was awarded two YER
diets in large sums, but appeals
knocked him out. Then he was out Of
money, and, of course, out Of court.
He is dependent upon charitable rela-
t.ves and drags out miserable exist
ence craving a few crumbs from the
table of Dives, which are cruelty de-
MED o, the meanness of the millions!
And again l say unto you, 1t is
easier for camel to go thru the eye
of a needle than for a rich man to en-
ter into the kingdom of God"

The editor of the Mt. Vernon Rec
ord was in southeastern Iowa few
days last week and from what he could
learn. does not believe there will be
any great DETECTION from the republic
lean ranks there this fall. Some Of
the republicans are little sore ye:,'
admits the editor, 'sbut they told me
that they could not see anything to
gain by getting out their scalping
knives, and, as a consequence they will
support the ticket This was in the
middle of the reservation too. When
November rolls around the party will
roll with it an old time majority"
Speaking of Dawson the Davenport
Times declares: I'm brief, he stands
for prosperity, progress, business and
industrial success, restriction of corr
porations and square deal for every
man. He talks as he thinks. He acts
because of conviction that right and
justice must prevail. He shows no ia
vors. H has proved himself to be ev-
cry inch a man for the responsible POI
sition of representative of the Second
district"
The Newton Journal says: Jasper
county democrats are about the sorest
men we know Of nowadays. The deli
egation from this county went to the
convention in high feather, thinking
that Gen. Weaver would be nominated
perhaps by reclamation. The old
wheel horses were turned down, and
the conservatives ruled" The Journal
AYERS at is limited that the old gener-
ais opposition to the whiskey plank
caused his defeat"
The Eagle Grove Eagle complains
that Dan Patch receives better care
than the average man gives his wife

in his own dunghill, Mr.. Bryan dis
play the degree of asininity en-
blematic of membership in the demo-
cratic party" cuttingly asserts the

which experience has forced the state
to apply to banks which applies to a
catalog house receiving money on
deposit.
The banks can't afford to pay per
cent, ard it is not reasonable to sup
pose that the catalog houses can safe
ly do it.
A fellow named Miller once adver-
tised that he would pay very large
interest rate on money deposited with
him. There were persons willing to
trust him Uhere always are), and
soon he was deluged with deposits.
Out of every dollar last received, he
paid the interest due on the money al
ready In hand. Thus when A sent
$40 and B later sent $40, he paid the
fabulous interest to A out of BIS mon
ey, and to b, out of C's money, and so
on. From a condition of poverty he
soon had half-million dollars and
then the bubble bursted. The fools
who sent him their money lost 1t, OF
course. and the fact that Miller went
to iail didn't do them any good.
This is not an assertion that the
catalog banking scheme is a Miller
scheme 1t is only a suggestion that
If experience teaches us anything, 1t
is that we ought to be sure about the
security Of our money. This is why
we have framed banking laws, trust
company laws, etc. There are no
banking laws governing the catalog
houses. There are no provisions that
they shall not speculate with their
money. And when the farmer sends
his money he has only the word OF
the csltalog houses that he will re-
ceiye interest on it. II the interest
fails, he can't very well foreclose. II
he loses the principal he can't get II
back. He can only whistle In repent
ing his folly.
