And all this on land that is poor,
especially when compared with our
soil here, but the people are thrifty
aud know how to make the best of
every foot of soil For specially
here he suggested dairy farming
but he thinks the diversified farm
ing is probably better and surer in
the end. After these remarks on
the above mentioned subject Prof.
Kennedy took up his regular after
noon subject of Live Stock I'm
provement, Feeds and Feeding"
The Iowa farmer could keep a.
few sheep to good advantage.
They will keep down the weeds.
There are 600 varieties of weeds
and sheep will eat $50. There are
three things which determine the
making of money with stock. Good
breeding, good management and
good feeding. But you can't do
everything with feeding. People do
produce good stock here but the
average stock in Iowa and in the
United States does not compare
with average stock on European
| farms. 80 per cent of them there
| produce fine stock. But this is a
new country and it is only natural
that in settling a new land they pro-
duce grain first but later on they
turn their attention to live stock
farming. The average today is just
as good as 20 years ago but all the
stock is getting little better. If
you all went into the same business
you would reduce the price Of that
article by reducing the cost OF pro-
duction. Mr.. Kennedy then pre-
ceeded to show by charts the differ
ent methods Of feeding and which
grains taken in conjunction with
others were most healthful. There
are certain essential elements that
must be taken in proportion with
others and Prof. Kennedy explained
what they were and what grains fed
together would produce these re-
suits. At the close Of Mr.. Ken
nedy's very able remarks the SEES
sion closed.
Several Of the papers read at the
Institute were to have been publish
ed in this issue but were received
too late to set up, we will take great
pleasure in printing them in follow
ing issues.

Mr. Bryan told the democratic
members of the legislature. at the
banquet which they gave him in
Des Moines last week, that one
trouble with the democratic party
was the fact that there were "men
in the party in whom the people
did not have the full confidence that
if they were chosen they would per.
form the service which as democrats
they we're supposed to be ready tc
perform. MIR. Bryan was talking
to number Of men who voted a
gainst a primary law at the last SEES
sion of the Legislature, and made il
very plain in the course of his re.
marks that such votes were undem.
ocratic. He said poor primary law
was better than none at all.

Iowa has been contributing for
10, these many years. to the building
up Of Chicago and other great cities.
One OF the important factors in the
building up of these great centers
Of industry and population has been
the railroad. It is about time for
the people of Iowa to build up their
own cities little more. and to Sc
cure from the railroads rates which
willsencourage the establishment Of
more factories>.and m re wholesfl
houses, and in the end still better
home market for the states farm
products. Iowa is the center of the
uniyerse 10 the Iowan. ard the
quicker the people of the state
realize that fact and compel the
railroad companies. to come TO a
proper realization Of it, also, the
better.

The sentiment against Capital
punishment is, as it ought to, rapid
ly increasing. DR.. Bleyer, the man
who induced the legislature of New
York to substitute the electric chair
for the Gallows, is now making an
effort to induce the legislature of
that state to abolish capital punish
ment. He asserts that taking human
life is one of the evils affecting the
en- 'ightened civilized nations of the
present era. Justice and human
passions don't affiliate, and per-
fectly dispassionate and unbiased
judgement is myth.
The chief aim Of a true surgeon is
to save limb, not to take it off. Sc
it should be with the state.
In inaicting capital punishment
upon murderer the state is like the
false mother in the judgement OIL
Solomon-she prefers a dead son tc
one whom she might reclaim by
justice seasoned with mercy. The
true mother would redeem the
criminals by keeping him out OIL
harms way, promoting his moral
and spiritual welfare and making
him by proper punishment and
suitable work a useful though re-
stricted member Of the state.
The true scientific solution Of the
difficulty is to redeem the murderer
like other criminals, and give him {
chance to work out his salvation or
principles dependent upon true civ
ilization, rather than upon that be
queathed to us from the middleages
We must not take life he declares
until we can produce it.
The greatest argument agains
capital punishment is that the prin
ciple of life must not be violated
Do not destroy that beauty which i
is the scientists despair to solve
hold sacrilegious hands from til,
crime of destroying that which 20,
cannot restore and that which W,
cannot even understand.

Congressman Champ Clark, says:
If the population of the Mississippi
Valley increases as rapidly when
compared with the population of the
rest Of the county from 1900 to 1910
as it did from 1890 to 1900 the val
ley states could, if voting solidly,
elect president and house of rep
resentatives in 1912. They could
do it easily in 1914 and for all time
thereafter. The senate will be the
only possible obstacle to their com.
plete supremacy and eventually the
senate must on every important
question yield to the. public senti-
ment voiced by the house Of repre-
sentatiyes fresh from the people,
just as the British house Of lords
yields to the British house Of com.

Bryan and cummins Favor State Wide
Primary.

In his speeches on Tuesday of last
week before the Iowa legislature and
at the democratic banquet. Mr..
Bryan took strong positions in favor
of statewide primary. Governor
Cummins listened to Bryan's speech
in the House of Representatives and
approved Of the points made by the
speaker in favor Of a primary law.
In fact the great audience which
heard him seemed to go with him
and approved Of nearly everything
he said, but theapplause for a state
wide primary was most pronounced
of all.

Hearst wins Appeal Against Mcclellan

Last Saturday the Supreme Couit
of New York State handed down a
sweeping decision in favor of Will
liam R. Hearst, in his contest with
Mcclellan for the office Of May
or Of New York City. The court
clears away all technical objections
to a recount of the ballots and an
examination of all questions relating
to the validity Of the election. And,
according to the courts ruling, the
entire cost Of the proceeding will be
paid by the state.

Congress has passed some kind Of
law, the object of which is to settle
the dispute between the California
school authorities and the people of
Japan. The meager reports con-
tanned in the press dispatches IN
dictate that Mayor Schmitz of San

laws Of California to help out the
President, and the President is tc
administer the emigration laws in
such away as to help out Mayor
Schmitz. The arrangement may OF
may not end the trouble with Japan.

The weather bulletin for the week

The week was marked by unusu-
ally low temperatures throughout the
section and by abundant precipita-
ton in the eastern and generally
dry weather in the western portion
of the state. The precipitation was
greater than the normal in the cen
trail, northeastern, eastern and the
| coast counties, where the amounts
ranged from one to over three in
ches. and 1t was less than the nor
NAL elsewhere in the state. In the
4. western counties and in numerous
northwestern and southwestern
counties there was either no precipi
tation or the amounts were toe
small to be measured.
The mean temperature was decid'
eddy below the normal. the deficien'
