J. Pierpont Morgan recently brought
to this country the most valuable Bible
now In America. The copy was made
by the monks Of Cluny, France, in the
Thirteenth century. With the Bible
also came the original warrant for the
arrest of John Bunyan. Mr. Morgan

warrant
There is a distinct joy in owning
land, unlike that which you have In
money, in houses, in books, pictures
or anything else which men have de-
vised. Personal property brings you
into society with men. But land is u
part Of Gods estate in the globe; and
when parcel of ground is decided to
you, and you walk over it, and call it
your own, 1t seems as IL you had come
into partnership with the original pro-
prietor of the earth. Henry Ward
Beecher.

NANCY, mongrel town dog should be
segregated to comfortable place four
feet under the sod, and the green grass
of our lawns and liberty of our streets
reserved for the toddling feet of our
three year-olds, without asking them
to face the terrors of the hobgobbln

ing bitten by a vicious or playful dog.
Kill all the dogs in town or keep them

are as the graves Of those who never
wore the blue. Let the dead bury
their dead" There appears to be no
help for 1t, and the presumption is there
should be no help for it, 1t does NOT
follow that the heroic sacrifice of the
defenders. of the union has lost appre-
citation. but the emotion with which
1t was recognized has subsidized, and 1T
cannot be restored or maintained by
law. A statute such as is proposed
would but emphasize the fact.
The number of people who think
Sunday should be kept holy is very
large. but the law IS an fmpotent
agency for the enforcement of their
will. The saloon is recognized as an
evil. and whatever law men may set
up against 1t staggers under the load.
1t is unnecessary to make Memorial
day another example of lawlessness.
There must be no interference with
the professions on the way to deco
rate the graves of soldiers; there
must be no disturbance of the meet
ings where those who choose gather
to review the achievements of pa
triots. The law cannot we'll under
take more. Tears extracted by stat
ute would mock the dead and the
living.
There are times when people think
they can never get far from the graves
of their loves: butNa gentle hand is
upon them that leads them away.
and they are tempted back to the
joy OF living To say this should not
be so is to dispute with law that Is
higher than mans law.

MORE SENSIBLE COMBINATION.

Two republican county newspapers
at Mt. Ayr, the Ringgold Record and
the News, have merged and will issue
In semi weekly form. From business
point Of view the merger is sensible
and one indicated in many counties.
From politicians view point it looks
as though the Tedfords and the cor
poration element needed a clear field
and went the shortest way about to
get 1t.
We have too many county news
papers In Iowa. Not that most Of those
now published fail to give the sub
scriber his moneys worth and are not
edited with discrimination and ability.
They are. But a dozen or even half
dozen county papers in one county,
fighting for county printing, are too
great burden and too much OF an
annoyance to the average citizen
from whom they must derive their
revenues.
Consolidate more Of them. So shall
We have better newspapers, stronger
men and better service at less cost. The

Memorial day, which falls on the

rHE GAME o. MARBLES.

At a few points In the field of Iowa
Journalism, as at present conducted,
there is evidence OF the swelling and
soreness Of old wounds. Somewhat Is
evident Of pentulance fostered by vain
regret, tendency to watch. in a peek
ing way, as from around a corner. and
to magnify trifles and minor things
into serious offenses. Especially from
the corner contiguous to Dakota is this
tendency noticeable In a sort of school
boy fashion to FOLLOW and cry out after
the victor such points of history manu-
featured or actual as may embarrass
and enrage. The state administration
is doing very nicely, thank you, and
behaving itself as state administrations
should Still from around the corner
rises the raucous cry of the boy who
lost his marbles

those who lost. They made the game.

Of mo dubs" and some marbles were

its conclusion 1t was they who grabbed
every white alley and disgorged on
compulsion. Why now wander about
the streets in the trail of all and any
who won, grouching and screaming in
impotent rage It doesn't get any OF
the marbles back. 1t simply sets the
other boys wondering why some fell
lows insist that they shall play II they
can't bear to lose.
It is hard to lose; but the loser who
runs raving over his losses gets more
sneers than sympathy. And still. in
this case establishment over-rides con-
tempt. For he who whines most has
played the game since most Of US who
are now old, were young. He has all
ways had store OF aggies and classics
in his sack, won from the less fortun-
ate and astute. Now, because ne can
not have and keep all the marbles, must
he lie prone, kicking wildly and tear
Ing his hair amid loud objurgation?
The other boys are getting back in,
slowly and without spoken approval Of
the revised rules. From now on under
these rules nobody is barred. The game
will never be close corporation again
Every one shall have chance for his
white alley. With somewhat of dis
content and determination to go back
to the old way, If possible, the other
boys are getting back in Some day
they will all be back. Why stay out
