WHEN A MAN LEAVES IOWA

Seneca Tribune. a
good man grows dissatisfied with Iowa
The milk Is too yellow or the honey
too sweet and doesn't like them to
flow over his land anyway. So he parts
with mis- farm, sells his live stock and
other things too numerous to men,
tion," and moves to Oklahoma. There
he takes his good Iowa money and
buys farm which today is and to-
morrow Is not, because the wind mas
blown 1t away. Or he tries Colorado
and slushes around In the mud irrigat-
Ing strip of bottom SO narrow that a
cow can't jump into the field because
she jumps over 1t.
Then he hears of Texas and goes
down to hunt the bag of gold at the
rainbow end. In daytime he scratches
sandburs out of his flesh and at night
centipedes crawl over his face When
his money is all gone he begins to feel
like he did the first night he stayed
away from home He yearns for good
old Iowa, and the yearn sticks in his
throat and SMOKES him until tears come
to his eyes. He would give month S
work to see the cows standing at the
bars on the old Iowa farm and hear the
horn blow for supper.
Memory is marvellous painter and
paints best the things we love best 1t
pictures to the traveller the corn silk
ing in the field he once owned, the
wheat following for the harvest, the
clover stretching away in carpet of
red an green. richer than the rugs Of
Persia. 1t shows him the elms as they
whispered to his children at play be-
meath them. points to the roses in the
corner Of the old rail fence, and in in
finite detail paints thousand things
that touches the heart and proves its
whimsical power. Happy is the man
who wakes from sleep to find that he
has wandered from Iowa only in his
dreams

The Chicago Tribune has given Sec
rotary Wilson Of the department OF
agriculture. Iowa's remaining member
Of the Presidents cabinet, new title
"The Little Father of His Country"
is the way the Tribune puts it in a
Washington dispatch, highly laudatory
of the Iowan and his work. When Will.
son came into this department, SAYS
the Tribune. the department Of agri
culture consisted of few scientists
and couple of roll top desks. He set
out to revolutionize it, proceeding N
the theory that this was the Little

ment; that he was here not merely to
administer, not merely to keep the
farmers quiet but to develop In the
most paternal fashion the industry
which he represented, and with it 60
much of the United States as that IN
dnstry fed. which is a pretty big part
Of said United States-and he made
no noise about his theory. He simply
proceeded to put 1t in force.
Touching upon some of Wilson
work the Tribune says:

had room enough to keep a couple of
goats could raise his own milk supply;

counting to man who has to figure up
pennies instead of dollars when he
looks over his household accounts

CHEER up. Mr.. AkEp.

What right have we to luxury
while others starve In sight Of plenty"
IN a grieved tone asked the Rev G. F..
Aked, Rockefeller's pastor in chau-
tauqua address. And the Rev. Mr..
Aked worked himself into state of
deep gloom as his address progressed.
What of our myriads of brethren.
pent up In mean streets, prisoners OF
counting house and shop, slaves Of
mill and mine, poor and heavy laden
Of every nameless class?" he asked
Christianity cannot rest while such
mortals live, disfranchised of their
right to rest and happiness. While
such poverty remains, while such evil
conditions sadden and appall US, what
right have we to our holidays, our
happiness?"
MY. N.Y. but aren't conditions fright
full. Just think Of the slaves Of count
Ing house and shop, mill and mine"
and grieve for them. And after you
have reached the depth of gloom sug-
gested by the pathos Of Mr.. Aked's
words, just cheer up and forget It.
The slave Of the counting house Is
down at his club playing a game of
billiards. The slaves of the shop and
The mill and the mine are out at the
park with their families having finish
ed their eight hours of shaving with
sixteen left to sleep and enjoy little
recreation. And Christianity might rs
we'll rest as the slaves are resting, If
by Christianity is meant the snobbish
speech of the kind the Rev. Mr.. Aked
loves to emit.
The Rev. Mr. Aked has been in
America about two months, yet he
sets himself up as advisory counsel to
the nation. Perhaps the men of the
counting house, whatever that term
may mean, the mills, the shops or the
mines were slaves in the Liverpool
from which he came, but he should
study up his dope book and advise
himself that this is not Liverpool and
that the American working man and
there are not very many between the
two coasts that do not have some
work to do do not consider themselves
as slaves and are not seeking the
sympathy of sensational pulpit ora
