And now it is Pocahontas county that
is to have complete rural delivery by
April l. How many years have elapsed
since Pocahontas county got her very
first postoilice, to which she pointed
with pride? And how long will it be
until every farmer in Iowa will have
his mail delivered at his front gate
every week day of the year. And still
there are people, who wonder, why the
soil in, Iowa is constantly rising in
value. The man on remote farm in
Iowa to-day, enjoys more comforts and
is nearer to the rest of the world, than
the dweller in one of the early towns of
the state, even though he was promi-
nent citizen and got the best there
was. Iowa is growing into not vast
city, but into one great community
and the telephone, and the interu aba, S
and the railroads and the rural delivery
and the road Improvement and other
things are all working in that direc ton
The town is not moving into the
country and the country is not moving
Into the town-lowans are simply
getting together.

Agriculture is now a profession and
is gaining recognition as such. The
landowner is the true aristocrat; and
the intelligent farmer and breeder, such
as we have in this locality, is the high
est type of the landowner. Given a
fertile soil, like that Of this section, a
salubrious climate like ours, progress
sive farm population like that of this
part of the country and general dis
semination of knowledge of farm meth
DDS, and prosperity can hardly fail to
result. For this purpose there is moth
ing better than a higher grade farm
journal like the Iowa Homestead, pub
lished at Des Moines, Iowa. which has
attained circulation of $4,000 among
the best farmers of the corn belt. The
Homestead is the oldest and best of the
farm papers, being fifty years old. 1t is
edited by farmers who reside on and
operate their own farms, and numbers
among it's contributors practically every
expert in agriculture and live stock in
the west. The REPORTER takes pleasure
in extending the Homestead's circula-
tion. If you want good farm paper,
come to this office, and we will order
the Homestead for you at very moder-
ate cost to you.

bors have learned that lesson and are practising
Il with much profit and satisfaction. Countries
in which the state owns the railroads are fore
most in canal construction and in canazation
of rivers in what to the superficial observer
might seem like competition with their own
railroads. There are railroads running along
or near the banks of the Rhine, the Ems the
Main, the Danube and other rivers, In most
cases along both sides, and there are other
railroads connecting those on one river win
those on another. Yet the rivers are all canal
lied. and canals have been made 10 connect one
river with another In a sense, the railroads
and canals are competitors. but ii is compe-

THE TP0UBLE WITH THE ARMY.

In contributed special article which appears
elsewhere in this issue of The Tribune rather
nessimistic view is taken of the lot of the
United States soldier. Soldering is not easy
work at best, and the government does not
offer Inducements enough in the way of pay
and advancement to tempt either the slug
gardv or the very ambitious. The man who
enlists does not, rule. enter the service
with the idea that he will save competency
out of it, He must have another motive-de-
sire for adventure, impatience with narrow
surroundings love of responsibility or n pur-
pose to rise by hard work from the ranks to
commission 1t is misleading, therefore, 10 in
stitute comparisons between army pay and
wages of aborers or mechanics The soldier
is fed clothed and housed, is cared for when
sick and enjoys without cost what is prac-
tcally an accident and life insurance. lie Is
care free and in most cases has no family to
support: so that his pay is TO great extent
merely Il fund for savings pocket money.
The average soldier is improvident because
he has few ties to hinder imprOvldence. But
frugality sobriety and hard work will under
normal conditions bring their rewards In mill
tary life Just certainly as they do In other
fields of activity The pay of the soldier is
doubtcd;y too small and should be increased.
Put the real trouble with the enlisted force s'
thot il is necessarily out of touch with stand
ards Of life and thought outside the army. In
democratic nation the army remains undemo-
cratic in constitution and methods. and the
soldier is therefore looked on with cOndescen-
sion by workers outside who enjoy much
greater freedom. If the public could be con-
vinced that there were as free a career open
in the army to talent and application as there
Is In industrial and commercial pursuits. there
would be no avoidance of the service by youths
of ambition and energy. Promotion to commits
sions from the ranks has been tried but it has
failed il. great measure because such promo
tion clashes with the military ideas which we
have inherited aud which rule rigidly in
nearly all the military nations. But fuller,
freer chance to rise would be sufficient TO trans
form the material now recruited for service
and end most complaints about the hardships
of the soldiers profession.
New-York tribune., 1907-10-06

If any one does object to these provisions o.
the existing law and wants to make cam
paign on such lines the field is open TO hlih'
We should feel q certain grim enjoyment III
seeing somebody appeal to the voters or New
Jersey to support the sacred right of saloon
keepers to sell grOg to infants or to break
the law behind screens. Certainly the Demo
cratic party in its platform did not dare 10
take such ground, and the Democratic candl-
date shows no signs of doing so.
The Republican party was explicit in its plat
FORM and the Republican. candidate is, II pos
sble. still more explicit. Nobody in the state
has cause now for the slightest uncertainty
as to their meaning and their purpose. But
how do the Democrats and their candidate
stand? Who can tell? Their platform is silent
on the subject 1t neither approves nor con-
demns the Bishops bill" As Mr.. Fort justly
no one knows, and it was intended no one
should know" The Democratic candidate
too. is silent He talks freely enough on all
other topics. but on the question of excise not
a word Yet his supporters and managers are
shrilly declaimng that the excise issue is the
foremost issue of the campaign. The foremost
issue. and vet their platform ignores it ana
their candidate lodges it! Why? Because as
is cynicaly admitted by the Democratic candl-
dates chief newspaper organ, the trenton
True American" the party would lose votes
if it took any positive stand. For Mr.. hatz-
epbach to declare himself for the bishops
bill" would lose him votes in some counties, ana
for him 10 declare himself against 1T would lose
him votes in other counties. therefore ne lhuSt
dodge the subject altogether, and the campaign
must be fought on the Democratic side without
a word about its chief issue.
