The experience of the last year in all
the institutions has been most crafty
ing. They are at this moment more
prosperous, more efficient, more DIS
tinguished, than ever before. The llb-
eral spirit manifested in the generous
appropriations of the half decade just
closed is bearing rich and abundant
fruit The fathers and mothers who
have boys and girls to educate have
more confidence in these schools than
they have had in former years. and
therefore the attendance of students
is rapidly increasing.
AS | have more than once said. our
young people are worthy of the best
educational facilities that genius
learning and money can establish and
maintain, and we are swiftly nearing
the point at which it can be. truthfully
said that they have as good as the
country affords.
Speaking specifically of the institu-
lions, it is most gratifying to note
that the university has added, during
the year, to it's student body. larger
percentage than any other university
in the country. Its course of instruc-
ton has not only been broadened, but
at the same time has been made more
practical. 1t is applying more to the
actual things Of life. The fidelity Of
the board of regents, the leadership Of
its Institutional force, are all to DE
commended. l sincerely hope that you
will make it possible for the institution
to grow until it fully occupies the field
which it was established to occupy.
The college of agriculture and me-
Charlie arts is not only maintaining the
high standard which was attained I'M
der IL former president but the inspir-
alton of it's present distinguished heaa
is constantly lifting it up into loftier
attitudes of excellence. The conduct
of all it's departments is efficient in a
marked degree, but the agricultural de-
partment is especially notable Every
year adds to its victories and makes it's
supremacy among agricultural colleges
still more secure. I sincerely believe
thai the farms of Iowa have produced.

Woman's Success in Business.
(Boston Transcript

Someone. discussing the ways OF wo-
men in business recently, says a partia'
explanation of their success IN many
callings is due to their thinking they
are still on trial. which leads them to
take a great deal more pains to please
their patrons than do men engaged IN
the same kind of work. To certain
extent this may be true: that is. Wo-
men do feel that they are still serving
an apprenticeship in undertaking work
that has been the exclusive heia Oh
men for generations. But as women
have been housekeepers since the world
began. and as they are as falthiul ana
steadfast in this profession In the pres
eut time as they were centuries ago. 1t
seems safe to argue that a similar
thing may be said of them years hence
in commenting on their success in BUS

Talking About the Times-Republican
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

There may be a better Iowa paper
for Iowa readers than the Marshall
town T.-R, but we have yet to see it.
The Times-Republican prints more
special Iowa news than any other pa
per in the state and has over ESQ spec
ial correspondents, also keeping two
reporters in the capital city. 1t is al
ways to the front with the very best
and most accurate news obtainable,
and we would advise our readers. when
they want a daily paper, that they cam
not go wrong in subscribing for the

GOOD LORD GOOD DEVIL,

What is the matter with the T.-R?
Is it up to Good Lord, Good Devil, or
does it really know where it is at? One
day it publishes approvingly a plea for
the canteen by DR.. Anita MCGEE, as
sistant surgeon of the army The next
what editors know about whisky"
They know that it is full Of head
aches, heartaches, sorrow, crime and
poverty. That temporary insanity,
possibly murder, turks in every quart
of it, That it is the attendant of every
vice, and at the bottom Of nine-tenths
of every crime. That it ruins families,
burdens the police courts and fills the
penitentiaries. All bad, bad"
"They know all that, and yet it is
good for soldiers, they can ejoy it
harmlessly. Why not? Don't you know
that that is the plea Of the whisky
soaked army officer? If you don't
know it you had better be finding it
OUT
The above extracts were taken from
communication volunteered by a
fairly representative type Of the ex-
IRENE, unreasoning and uninformed
prohibitionist He is probably the ex-
tremist of the extreme. Such men
know no more of the world than what
they see on their daily travels from
their hen house to the corner grocery
with a basket of eggs. Their knowledge
of the world is gained from the elderly
ladies who still continue to sew crazy
quilts and dry apples under the roof of
the back stoop or from their reading of
their extremist journals whose editing
is fairly insane with its bigotry. They
mean all right and are as zeaelous in
their beliefs as any of the historic
crusaders, but their value in the moral
uplift of the world is nil. They often
try the patience of reasonable men and
many prohibitionist is himself a
reasonable man with just as much i'm
patience for the bigotry of this class as
other people have.
In the first place man must be too
old and childish to know any better or
else woefully uniformed, or he would
never refer 10 the Officers Oh IHe
standing army Of his country as
a whisky soaked class. The world at
large, foreign nations included, has
learned to respect the American army
officer very highly.
Secondly, no person who knows any
thing about the average man in Amer
lea would ever accuse the officers or
the physicians of our army with a
desire to corrupt the enlisted men with

subject to come in contact with. One
day one of the old mans favorite
hounds was shot and killed by bully
man who had been in more fights
than any man in that section. HIS
fighting reputation, however, did not
keep the old man from hunting him up
and giving him thrashing, and then
he announced:

Rio Grande, and especially il he kills
one of my hounds"

Moose hi a Jersey Swamp.

Tracks of moose were discovered In
the snow near the great swamp a few
miles from Myersville, N. j., by John
Ryan n few days ago, says Madison
IN. j. correspondent Of the New York
Herald. He traced them for few
hundred yards to brook, where they
were lost. Several moose escaped from
a Somerset county game preserve two
wears ago, together with several deer.
The deer have been seen frequently in
this section, but it was supposed that
the moose had made their way north
ward to Canada. Ihey were seen in
the vicinity of Port Jervis, N. Y, a few
DAYS after their escape.

If there is daily newspaper as gool
as the Times Republican published in
any city of Marshalltown's size we
have never heard of it, 1t is fearless

support of Iowa people, because it adj

The Carroll Herald says "there is a
genuine demand for the enactment of
two cent fare and indications point
Enthusiastically to favorable action in
the legislature. TIL proposition of the
railroadsd to compromise on a two
and-a-half cent bill is not worthy of
consideration. Nor should the legisla
ture be Influenced by the threat that
the railroads will take the matter into
the courts, if two cent law should
be enalted. Compromises with inter-
ests affected are not tenable ground for
legislature to stand on. No rogue
Ger felt the halter draw with good
opinion Of the law"
AS the Ackley World sizes him up.
GA good citizenn is one who is always
ready to give according to his means
to community enterprises. He takes
stock in them all, and doesn't lose his
faith if an occasional venture proves
bad. He is not afraid to buy real es-
tate and to pay what it is worth. He
believes his town to be the best of its
size, the healthiest place on earth
and his desire is to be buried there
when dissolution comes. He is worth
a regiment of luke-warm ones"
"The unfortunate which the materni-
ty home issue brings to mind are en-
titled to the attention of the state" as
serts the Des Moines Capital. They
are entitled to protection from the
harpies and vampires which would
prey upon them. The institutions which
are opened to them should be Ravens
of refuge in fact as we'll as in name. 1t
would seem that it would hardly be
necessary to plead with the state leg
islature to do it's duty in the premises"
The woodbine Twiner is of the
opinion that if the legislature would
stop introducing new bills and kill a
few hundred now supposed to be in
force it would do world of good and
receive the thanks of those who sent
it to Des Moines to do something.

proposition is all wrong, just as the
proposition to exempt a corporations
taxes for period of years, as a means
of getting the proposition to locate is
wrong No town or city should be al
