THE HORROR OF BARE FEET.

One of the southern Iowa editors
who writes editorial with capital 'I''
saw a barefoot girl lying on the grass
at the home of one Of the good and
hot day and the girl was probably
pretty we'll sprawled over the lawn
as sI' and my wife, drove by. The
editor took occasion to hand out Sc
we're criticism Of the young woman
who dared go barefooted when he
drove by on hot day.
Now this was in a small city where
everyone knows everybody It doesn't
amount to much except az an .illustra-
ton of what an editor should not do.
The less said the better, about the
taste and tact evinced in sharp and
to some degree brutalf criticism of a
young girl, who happefed to be bare
foot and to kick up her feet. It was go
Ing a long way for an opportunity to
condemn and criticize.
Why shouldn't the girl go bare
foot at home on a hot day? Really,
whose business is 1t but hers and her
mothers? Why shouldn't she lie around
in such comfort as she can find when
the dogstar RACES? Who are editors
to tell girls when to put on their shoes ?
Is it possible that this editor never
went barefoot? If not he doesn't know
what true comfort is. Is it possible
that he never went to school in the
country where boys and girls alike dis
dain shoes and stockings thru the
heated term? Where and how has he
lived that the sight Of two twinkling
bare feet on a neighbours lawn should
fill him with such dismay?
Let the editor-and the shoes-come
of.

THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WAGES.

An Ottumwa news dispatch tells the
story Of a woman who had committed
the objectionable SHIN women. She
ran away from her husband with an
other man. Later she had consumption
and the man she lived with took her
to the mountains in hope that she
might recover. She failed to find health
and they came back to Iowa driven by
the craving Of the woman to die in
sight Of her old home. The man In the
case had spent all he owned and they
found themselves broke" when they
reached Ottumwa where the woman
was taken to a hospital in the last
stage of tuberculosis. Then the "au-
thorities" got busy and the woman was
shipped to Centerville, where her rela-
tives, people of alleged prominence, re-
fused to receive or see her, and where
her request to see her two children
was denied. "She was then placed in
the hands OF the county authorities"
concludes the newspaper account, UNI
der it's SNUG headline Received the
Wages of Sin"
ALAS for the rarity OF Christian
charity under the SUM-" The wages of
the woman are so different from that

red his record, could have come home
dying to prominent relatives" and to
meet the fate of this poor, deceived
devil of the opposite sex, the plaything
of life contemptuously turned over to
the poormaster to be endured until she
dies? The wages are different What
man would send his brother or his
father to die under the load of such
horror and what woman would deny
a derelict husband a glimpse of his
children before his eyes closed for all
time. Sinfua OF course she was sin

suffering and common humanity for

gets much except of women. Wicked
Certainly wicked, but probably less so
than the woman at the we'll and than
the other who Amounted His feet with
tears and precious ointment Vile? So
was the thief, but he supped with
Christ in paradise BECAUSE he suffered
and asked mercy. But down at Cen
terville, as of old. they gather about
the woman taken in sin to stone her
to death without thought of their own
outlines. The wages of sin are paid
on a queer scale.
After all are the poorhouse and the
pauper's grave the wages of sin more
than misfortune? What else might the
friendless and poor and forsaken wom-
an whose only sin is poverty expect
from the authorities? ' Is there any
hospital where the woman dying of
tuberculosis may find the care and
tenderness that is her due thru simple
helplessness and suffering? How many
women today without a red mark on
their souls are dying in squalor and
neglect because of that lack of Chris
tan charity that recognizes need as
the supreme call?
Perhaps the woman at Centerville
had earned the sorrow and disappoint-
nent and loss that will be her constant
companions until the end comes. But
hasn't the other woman earned some
thing better? And can men and
women afford for the sake of their
own souls. the fear of God and the
love of Christ to pay such wages to
either?

Whom to Cut silaee Corn.

A few years ago it was thought nee
essary to ensilage corn in an immature
state in order to have it keep. This
made sour silage, with a strong, pun
gent odor The consensus of opinion
now favors letting the corn go until
the grain is fully matured, according
to Lyman Carrier Of the United States
department of agriculture. In ordin-
airy seasons there is a period lasting a
few days in which the corn ears are
ripe and the leaves and the stalks are
green This is the ideal time for put
ting into the silo. If the corn is al
lowed to mature beyond this stage
water should be added to the cut ma
terial at filling time to prevent IRE
Hanging of the silage. The results. of
many chemical analyses show that the

proaches maturity and do not reach
their maximum until it is fully ripe.
Most feeders prefer the silage made
from mature corn because 1t contains
less acid and possesses milder odor
than it does when cut In a greener
condition.

a small machine to be hauled around

possible. consistent with strength. The
machine that was described in that
article is too heavy, twice over me
manufacturers Of machines have lost
sight of weight in making the large
power machines to be hauled with
steam power, because the steam, where
straw is used, costs no more. and a
heavy machine is more solid to stand
the usage it is usually put to. Strength.
durability and capacity were all that
were cared for with the large machine,
a large and indiscriminate crew was
the rule, and grain was put in, In any
way to get it in. In fact, the machine
had to furnish the brains and know
when it had enough. and balk the at
tempt of the crew to give it more. In
order to do that, it had to be more
complicated and strong than would
have been the case if grain was always
put in just right, as can be done with
only one or two pitchers that under

In the large steam rig, the power
required to run it was also ignored.
for an engine that was large enough
to move the rig around was plenty
strong enough to thresh with; and. as
in moving, the steam required was not
considered, for the straw cost nothing
and the cost Of labor was practically
the same with a large or small rig.
1t required an engineer, a fireman, a
water man and a straw man much of
the time anyhow.
Now, any one that has fed much
grain by hand. and any one at all con-
versant with threshing, knows that

Eeedina Roots to Live stock.

Roots of some kind are good for all
domestic animals. Their effect is tonic
as we'll as nutritive. Breeders and
feeders of animals for exhibition find
them invaluable. For most pur-
poses the roots are chopped or sliced
before feeding, according to Cor
nell bulletin. Various hand powder
machines are on the market for this
work Generally speaking roots should
not be fed alone. as they carry too
much water A feed may vary from
twenty five to fifty pounds per day
for a thousand pounds of animal, &C
cording to the amount of dry concen-
trates and roughage fed. 1t is usual
to put the cut roots into the feed box
and distribute the ground feed over
them. For poultry, however, the whole
roots may be given, allowing the fowls
to pick them. It is said by some that
turnips and rutabagas impart flavor
to the milk However, if no roots are
in the milking room at the time Of
milking and they are fed just after
milking, this may be avoided.

Increased Taxation Of Jersey Railroads
to Swell County Treasures.

Figures put out by the State Board of
Assessors show how each county in the
State is to be benefited by the decision of
the Courts holding the Perkins main stem
railway tax constitutional In the first
place the revenues from the taxation Of
main stem property alone go from $3.50,
991.21 to So, 500, 500 20, and this sum goes
largely to decreasing the State school tax
Under the law 1880, 867.35 goes to the
several counties, and the apportionment is
as follows:
The amounts each county will receive
from taxation of seoond-c railroad prop
erty cannot be ascertained with correctness
just now. This tax was levied upon ST.
100000 worth of property. 1t was assessed
under the Dufield act of 1905 by the State
Board Of Assessors, and the amounts certi-
fed with local taxing authorities were taxed
at the local rates. Ii is now assessed as
well as taxed by the local authorities.

Push This Appeal !!

The decision Of the Court Of Errors de-
claring valid the Dufield tax law, and the
decision Of the Supreme Court declaring
valid the Perkins tax law, are nearly coin
cident events which promise we'll for our
State, as at least showing the rising power
OF public opinion for the overthrow of
corporation control.
Neither is full measure Of Equal Taxa
tion, but each, when given full legal effect,
will greatly benefit the State and relieve
the body of taxpayers.
Much the most important of the two,
however, is the Perkins act; and that is.
the one which has not vet been passed on
by the Court of Errors, to which the rail-
load companies have appealed for a final
contest.
This act is one whose validity was viewed
with suspicion when the Republican Legis-
latiye managers in 1906 had it passed with
what seemed to be an intent to at least
temporarily stay the demands Of the people
for relief from the inequitable tax laws
which had been put upon the State and
kept there in the interest Of the money
hackers Of the Republican party.
1t was ground for suspicion that that
party should pass an act which would
really effect its object.
1t was suspicious that certain provisions
were needlessly put into the bill, before its
passage, which gave grounds for the legal
contest against it which at once began and
was made to run for year.
1t is yet suspicious that the Republican
organs are at once using the fact of its hav-
ing now passed the Supreme Court to make
election capital in the Gubernatorial cam
paign that opens so OPPORTUNITY.
And if, as is now the announced pro-
cedure, the action Of the Court of Appeals
is to be delayed until after the election Of
Governor, there will be good reason to be-
lieve that an adverse final decision is and
has been counted on by the party manag-
ers who passed the act and who want not
only the votes Of the people but the cleo
tion funds of the corporations.
If this act is to stand, its validity should
be pronounced by the highest court before
the November election; and the Republican
campaign managers should be made to un-
derstand that the people demand this as
evidence that they have been treated with
good faith. [Ciinton Democrat.
