was said to resemble Mr.. Hamilton.

THE HUsks or THE FAR COUNTRY.

When on the occasion of the Sioux
City Journals tlirty-eighth birthday
| the Carroll Herald in that spirit of
friendly admonition characteristic OF
the missionary and the peacemaker.
called the attention of Mr.. Perkins to
the opportunity offered him to read
just himself and his paper to Iowa
political conditions, the Times Repub.
lican quoted the Carroll newspaper az
part Of Iowa opinion and of import
ance to warrant interest. Unfortunate
" the journal looks upon the kindly
advances Of the Herald as a Joke and
mockery and insinuates that repub-
LEGATION in the Times-Republican was
in the way and after the fashion of
Mischief As regards har-
mony, says the Journal:
If it be idle tc, talk of harmony
the thing to do is to await q time
when it is not Tho one have a glad
lance to extend 1t to have it spit upon.
II suspicion Is to be allayed there
must be kindly office in a progressive
way, to the end that faith may have
a chance to root itself, take up sap
and supply the requisite for flower.
And further inquiry is made thus:
Has anything been heard from
Jerusalem? Has the king of the pro-
gressives sent an epistle of peace to
the churches? Has a reckoning finger
been seen from the citadel making sign
that feast is ready and that the poor
are to come in from the byways and
alleys and suburbs of our civilization?
Thus are the kindly offices Of the
Carroll Herald received. The foot
warmer is spurned from the royal dais
when anxiously attempting to do his
office. The barbados are still up in
Sioux City. Confessing hankering
and hunger Mr.. Perkins comes not
to the beast at behest of a messenger.
He awaits the backoning finger of the
king.
Funerals and birthdays are natur-
ally times when reconciliat ion is easy
and arrangements may be healed. The
Carroll Herald had without doubt this
settled truth in mind when it flew
Sioux cityward like the dove Of
peace. laden with olive and myrtle.
It surmised 1t was doing good It
was delegate to peace conference
but it nutters away from the editorial
