8 JUDGING FURS''
a New Book ON an Old Subject.
Read with Interest and
Easy Ito Get.

The country doctor probably makes Z
better combination Of common horse sense
\ mixed with scientific knowledge than any
1 ordinary man. AT airy rate his example may
u well be followed touching the use Of furs for
3 health. The successful country doctor wears
furs generally he owns fur overcoat (ot a
fur lined coat and he wears it, too.
In the northern climate fur garment is =
health necessity. People get along without
furs as they get along without many things,
but mans wardrobe is not complete with
! out a fur coat, and, with the other side Of the
house no argument is Necessary every
I woman needs furs-she needs them for health;
i she ought to have them for comfort and she
wants them for their beauty and style.
sNothing adds SO much to the effectiveness Of
dress as furs.
"A new book, nicely illustrated and easily
read in a half-hour written from the view
point Of the purchaser and wearer Of furs
rather than that of the dealer or manufacturer,
is just from the press, published by Lanpher,
Skinner 6 Co., the St Paul fur nanufact-
ufers, whose product is on sale in the leading
retail store Of every town in the Northwest
and sold from Maine Il, Oregon.
This book is called 's Judging Furs.'
II any Of our readers have any interest in
furs, either for themselves or as presents to
trends men, women or children-this book
. worth asking for-,vhich is all it costs.
"a mention Of this paper will be appreciated
Write to- Lanpher, Skinner & Co., st. Paul,
and they will send you the booklet and the
name of the nearest retail dealer who sells

Montezuma.> Oct. 27-Mr. c. J. Won
ser of the Tama Herald, In a recent is
sue Of his paper, came out squarely in
favor of elec1ing the entire republican
state ticket. Mr.. Wonser was and is a
standpatter, has "a perfect right to be
one, but he says in substance that iu-
dividual opinions must be side track
ed, and party nominees supported. All
this is mentioned here, to say his ac-
ton gives much satisfaction to the ma
jority of his subscribers in Tama coun-
5ty. AS one man said, 'Wonser is too
good republican to kick over the
traces just because he was in the mi
nority."

number being made up of ninety-siS
employers, eighty one labor leaders
seventy -one public" and fifty-three
lawyers. After printing the substance
of the replies the report gives this
summation of the result of the in
auiry:
Employers believe that trade I'M
ions should incorporate because the
better class of members would be in
dividually active in the management
of the union for the purpose of con-
sentative action leading to continually
increased strength in their standing
before the community.
Labor leaders. on the other hand, be-
heve that trade unions should not be
Incorporated because the individual
member would be held responsible for
the actions of the organizations, also
because the organizations would be
held responsible for the action of the
individual member, or, in other words
the responsible members would be
liable on account of the irresponsible
ones. They further opposed to incor-
poration for the reasons. as they adj
vance, that their finds would be liable
10 attachment, and that manufacturers
would possess more power in the
courts than the unions because they
could employ the best available legal
talent to advance their claims.
The public view is that incorpora-
ton is desirable both from the stand
point of the public and unions, for.
while it might limit to certain degree
the freedom of action of the unions,
in ways which do not now exist. and
at times the unions might be embar-
raised by legal proceedings directed
against them, these disadvantages
would be more than Offset by the
greater willingness of their employers
to deal with the unions when they
feel that the unions are legally re-
sponsible bodies. In view OF certain
decisions of the courts it is thought
that the responsibility desired may
already exist, but there would be no
doubt about it if the unions were in
scorporated.
The legal profession, which is per-
haps in a better position to Judge inn
partially of the matter than any other,
for the reason that it may have ,as
clients both employers and employees,
is of the opinion that 1t would not be
inimical to the interests of trade un-
ions to be Incorporated. The legal
profession declares the difficulty with
trade unions at present to be their ir-
responsible character 1T is claimed
they frequently fail to show any re-
gard whatever for their agreements,
which is the first essential in COM
handing public respect. Incorpora-
ton would mean responsibility, and
actions by responsible unions would
be accepted as pledge of good faith
by responsible employers.

THE HEAD OF THE TICKET.
[Kanawl1a Record]

Are you republican? II so, are
you working in favor of the state tick
ct? If not, why not? The head of
the ticket received his nomination at
the hand Of the majority; is your re :
publicanism strong enough to stand
pat ON the voice Of the majority? If
not there is big democratic streak
in it. We have heard much about
how Cummins and his friends disrupt
the republican party of Iowa. Yet the
same republicans who did not want to
see him nominated are the ones who
are urging voters to either vote for
the democrat nominee or none at all.
They are those who before the state
convention were loud in their false
claim that Cummins was not always
republican,; yet they propose to &C
complish deed worse than that OF
which he is accused. If these party
disturbers had had the good sense to
gracefully accept their defeat three
years ago in the state convention,
there would now be united state par
ty and some one else at the head OF
the state ticket. But they kept the
prod Of discord moving from day to
day and month to month, paving the

TERMS:
The W. c. I.u..

Behind the orifamme of the white
ribbon of the w. C. T. u, an army OF
earnest, conscientious and intelligent
women is gathered at Hartford,
Connecticut, counseling together and
mapping world campaigns against the
forces of evil. The worldwide touch
and influence of their distinctively
femme organization is emphasized by
the presence of delegates from every
continent and quarter of the globe,
from Greece, Finland, Australia, and
even the Fiji Islands. What powerful
influence does the white ribbon repre-
sent to bring women to asconmcE CEN
ter at Hartford from the remote anu
even the savage places of the earth :
First of all the w. c. I. U. stands for
celigion and the practice of the pc
,cepts of piety. 1t stands for the right
as 1t sees it and for the militant asser-
ton of right and the forcible as wei
as the argumentative suppression OF
evil. There are but two things i'll his
tory-religion and politics. The w. G..
n. u combines both. 1t works as much
as it prays. 1t is positive and not
negative. 1t puts it's impress on every
community and is an influence toward
good in the national councils of every
civilized and Christian country. The
great reason for its existence is the
need Of it. The secret Of its growth
and influence is its application OF abb
sract principles to concrete conditions.
The w. G. T. U. is not always right
but it is always right in intention. Its
mistakes are the mistakes of the
builder, whose impotence and anxiety
TO accomplish urges him to use his
material before 1t ripens. Where the
w. G. \. U. misses weld" it is WHERE
Ut failed to wait until the iron grew
incandescent.
I. Long life and more power-and pa
tience-to the w. c. T. U. May its
shadow lengthen. 1t has passed the
noint where the unthinking smiled at
the ..women crusaders" and grown TO
the dignity Of a world power as the
expression of our wives and mothers.

WHAT IS IT3

Az M. G. A. debating club at Cleve-
land has decided that a millionaire can
not he an honest man. One of the
members held that the automobile IN
which a man worth a million passed a
tired washerwoman on the street be-
longed, according to just law OF
wages for labor, to the woman rather
than TO the rich man. Carnegie made
money too fast to be honest" another
sneaker said. The general opinion, as
expressed by John A. Album, the lead
ar was that a man ceases to be hon
est when he accumulates more money
than is needed for him to live modestly
If he does not use the surplus for the
henefit of his fellow men. The judges
decided by vote ten to seven that
the gates of honesty are as impossible
To the millionaire as the needles eye
to the camel.
This is not socialism-as socialism
as generally understood -breaking out.
~ 2 s
Is IT simply another expression affirm
atiye Of the square deal? It is beconf-
ing rather widespread and settled
sentiment that the good Of society en-
,nasse is opposed to the contgol of the
great fortunes by individuals. AS to
honesty we have been making new
standards with the growth OF individ-
ual Intelligence and independence. We
have long been assuming to criticise
in praise and condemnation the dis
posal Of large fortunes by their pos
SCISSORS. Now we are beginning to
scrutinize in critical fashion thu
methods and justice of accumulation.
After all, it is not the amount gained,
but the way it was gained. that counts
most. The greatest difference between
the stock manipulation who wrecks and
builds railroads to fleece others and
add to his own gains, and the grocer
on the corner who weighs an ounce or
two short when the customer is not
present, is in the magnitude of the
operations and the number of people
affected There is only cash differ
ence between the thief who steals
dollar and the hnancier who cleans
up a million by crooked means. The
grocer, however, may make a living
while giving honest weight. The ques-
ton is, can any man pile up millions
of days work without robbing others
of their just dues? The Arena Club
says he can't do it. What do you say,
and how do you prove it?
Is it possible that we are on the
verge of a new deal? That we have
evolved to a point where mental ca
pacity to overcome shall be classed
with physical power to take and keep?
And is the expression that is becoming
common. socialism, the square deal or
anarchy? Some one speak up.

THE BOY WHO SAYS WE"

rama Herald
Don't laugh at boy who magnifies
his place. You may see him coming
from the postoffice with a big bundle
of his employers letters, which he dis
plays with as much pride as tho they
were his own. He feels important and
looks it, but he is proud of his place.
He is attending to business. He likes
to have the world know that he is
working for busy concern. The boy
who says I'VE" identifies himself with
the concern, its interests are his. He
sticks up for its credit and reputation.
He takes pleasure in his work and
hopes to say we are In earnest. The
boy will reap what he sows if he keeps
his grit and sticks to his job. You
may take off your hat to him as one
of the solid men of the town. Let his
employer do the right thing by him;
check him kindly If he shows signs Of
being too big for his place, counsel him
as to his habits and associates, and oc-
casionally show him a prospect of adj
vancement. A little pride does an
honest boy a heap Of good. Good luck
to the boy who says "we."

Nests That Weigh Five Tons.

The largest birds nests are to be
found in Australia. The Australian
jungle fowl build for nests great
mounds fifteen feet In height and Ia
or $50 feet in circumference. Grass
leaves and other vegetable matter are
used in the construction Of the nests
which easily weigh a ton.
The Australian brush turkeys, work
ing in colonies, build pyramidal nests
even larger One Of these nests, on
being removed, filed seven carts. and
