development of the coal underneath
under wise laws.
Speaking I'M high commentator OF
the presidents policy, the Review of
Reviews says:
But the master stroke in this achieve
ment reaches further, in two direc-
tons, 1t forms the third essential ele-
ment--the final necessary element, in
the development of the west. Quietly,
but efficiently, did the president pro-
mote the geological surveys reclama-
ton system. which in its many projects
.outstrips the Importance Of the Pan
ssMa canal. AT the same time the pres
ideht nthrew the whole weight Of his
national popularity to the aid of a
wisely planned forest service, which
is broad enough for the entire country,
and Is bringing back popularity to the
president and to Pinchot, with interest.
This third administrative act, not only
nurtured, but bred by the president
alone, insures fuel enough for the
manufacturing development of the
west. More than this, 1t suggests the
necessary change in the mining law,
which shall make it the effectual sup
plement of the homestead act in the
development Of individual effort in the
west.

THE PAST CONGRESS.

When the record Of the past con-
gress is finally adjusted, it will be
classed with the congresses that did
things. 1t passed the rate law, the
pure food law, touched upon currency
reform, shut out Japanese coolies,
made free alcohol, reformed meat in
spection, cut out corporation contri-
buttons to campaign funds, and spent
nearly two billion dollars. It is the
record Of a busy life as congresses live.
and of time well spent.
Some public demands that 1t failed to
hear distinctly include the call for a
child labor law, relief for the Philip
pines in The matter Of duties, and tariff
revision. But these will come. with a
later congress. and considering the
of work done and we'll done
the people may set the seal Of general
on the congress that has adj
jorrned without day. Something there
is in a. 1880, 100000 expense account
that makes us vince and wonder, but
since results always justify expense as
1 commercial maxim. let that go.
The verdict is that the present con-
gress is entitled to praise. Let the
fact that it worked under the shadow
IF the big stick be neither here nor
here.

GUARDING THE ..pEoPLE's COAL

The presidents insistence upon :
square deal for the public by with
holding coal lands from pre- emption,
has been the subject matter of attack
and misrepresentation by those whose
speculative greed suffers from his in
terposition. The administration meas
ure prepared by the experts ,of the adj
minissration outlined leasing sys-i
tenn certainly equitable and including
no hardship on settlers. In fact, the
only hardship worked to actual settlers
has been the segregation of coal lands
from present settlement, and this only
in localities where the coal underlies

The new legislation contemplates only
holding fast to the coal under these
lands. 1t allows the surface TO be pre-

While we are plying the others whose

coored from within, and not from

That our American forests abound in
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores of the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent of the white race. This informa-
ton, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue Investigations until
to-day we have a rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots.

WIFE DEsERTERs AND THE LAW.

The wife desertion bill comes before
the legislature today. Its purpose. is to
prevent or punish a practice that has
become SO common AS to have its ex-
ample in every community, the deser-
ton Of wife and family by worthless
men who thus relieve themselves Of
the responsibility Of supporting their
own. The legislature should enact it
into law. Men who wilfully desert
their families and repudiate their self
assumed responsibilities, belong with
felons.
1t would be well If the legislature
should listen to the legislative commit
tee of the Iowa League Of Municipali
ties and consider the proposed law
under which inebriates and worthless
meni who refuse to labor in support
of their families, may be sentenced to
public labor on the highways, at wages
to be devoted to the support of their
dependents, and under a cumulative
SeUISllCe al SdSS VI 1C1x1PS0 1AlSA 5l1lS
first term.
There is little reform in a jail sem
;tence, and while the incarceration Of
a family deserter may be. and doubt
less is, q gratifying and salutary cir
cumstance, it buys no bread and pays
no rent for the deserted. The state of
Iowa should see to 1t that every
healthy man works for his own chill
dren, either of his own volition or I'M
der the big stick Of the state law.
Marry the road camp to the family
desertion law. Add it to the inebriate
and vagrant laws. Make the second
sentence double the first and the third
double the second. Give every worth
less and designing scamp to understand
that when he refuses to support his
family the state will collect by dis
traint the labor that is due his wife
and children while he stays in Iowa.

We have begun to shorten the hours

ment is widespread. All sorts Of labor
saving machinery now lightens the
toll Of the producer along thousand
lines of activity. We talk increasingly
of progress and we are always plying
those who went before us, because
they enjoyed so few Of the advantages
that we possess, and because their
lives were frequently cast in hard
places. They lacked so many things
that to us seem necessary and that
after all they really could never have
lacked and missed, as they had not
been invented. We pity their hard,
dull, prosaic lives, and yet we may be
entirely in the wrong. For the vast

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

CALIFORNIA VS.. IOWA.
A. B. Funk's California letter to the
Spirit Lake Beacon: Men and women
to the number of several hundred, for
mer residents of Iowa met on Mission
heights the other day. There was
some speaking and some singing and
a lot Of social interest. 1t brought
that funny feeling to my enervated
spinal column to hear Iowa sung with
force and feeling by the audience. Evil
dence abounds as to the enduring at
tachment for Iowa on the part OF those
who have lived in our noble common
wealth. Many have found prosperity
and happiness elsewhere but most of
the wanderers would be glad to be
back in Iowa. In view of the conditions
there 1t Is assuming grave RESPONSE
bility to contribute to local discomfort.
and to urge the average citizen to seek
more of prosperity and happiness else
where. It Is true that here and there
a man may make a change to his adj
vantage. For instance, where ills of
the flesh demand a change of climate;
where a farmer with a growing fam
lily. and little means needs to go where
land is cheaper but many moves are
unfortunate, and most Iowans are bet
ter off to stay where they are. This
beautiful coast country is by no means
without its advantages, but the Iowa
farmer must throw away most of the
experience OF lifetime. and spend
years in learning the ways peculiar to
local conditions before he may have
a fair chance to prosper. 1t is I'M
fortunately the way of human nature
to minimize the advantages of our
home situation and the disadvantages
existing elsewhere--to desire to fly
from the ills we have to those we know
not Of Verify "all Natures children
share her care" Unbiased investiga
ton always shows that there are trou-
bles everywhere and that no section is
without it's advantages. Then it is
lesson of bitter experience that to
sunder the home ties of a lifetime and
build up again among strangers is so
serious matter as to be justified only
by considerations most Important
Iowans, of all others, should deliber-
ately reflect upon these things, for they
live in state of all the union most
blest in many ways.
