A VERSATILE POET.

Longfellow is unique among the
great American poets in writing all
three forms of verse, epic. lyric and
dramatic. The dramas, of sourse, do
not appeal to us as the lyrihs and the
narrative poems do, but even here
we see the poetic perception that Ell
ther fuses two objects in nature into
a living compound, or else carries
their fanciful yet essential likeness
through brilliant comparison. The

committee and even the promoters be-
came alarmed at their own audacity
The result was that Red Oak was
dropped and four schools proposed
simply to obscure the vision of the
voter 1t is simply an audacious and
asinine scheme to loot the treasury.
There is no demand for such schools.
They can accomplish no good, and they
would be worse than failures if estab-
lished.
We have an agricultural school, one
of the greatest and best in the world.
Every farmer in iowa is proud of It,
The legislature is LIBERAL in appropria-
tons and no one objects to the most
lavish outlay We have a plant there
costing into the millions. We have a
great capital invested and 1t earns for
the farmers of Iowa a great dividend
on the Investment. The work that that
school does is made possible only by
reason of the splendid plant. the great
capital and the ability of the managers
to get the best. This is now to be neu-
'tralized and made ridiculous by es-
tablishing four primary schools, cost
ing $4,000 each this year, $4,000 next
year and God only knows the extent of
the loot when everything is we'll
creased. 1t stands to reason that such
schools will need an enormous amount
of money, or be worse than failures.
The plea of the promoters is that
these schools are to teach elementary
principles. This is a joke. Elementary
principles don't have to be taught, they
are born in every man born in this
state. 1t is the science of agriculture
in it's highest sense that we should
teach at our agricultural schools, and
not elementaries at all. The structure
and nature of the soils, the best meth
DDS of sustaining and fertilizing, the
art of feeding, the proper mixing of
foods to get the best results, etc.
After this bill becomes law, and it
won't, for the senate committee is
watching it, then the four towns must
be selected, what an opportunity for
log rolling and grating! What a
splendid time the real estate agents
and the promoters will have! The
plum is worth picking, for if the bill
becomes a law we will not get off
for less than 100000 a year to each
town in the pool

When the Roman empire was at the
height of it's power the month of

with more or less virulence. During
one spell of the ides of March Julius
Caesar was assassinated. julius felt
much cut up because OF this incident,
and it cast gloom over the nations
of the earth. Many crowned heads
trembled In their $3.50 shoes, and 1t
affected all ranks from the king sitting
on the throne to the cottager sitting
on his cottage. But julius had been
warned and he should have s1nelt q
rat before it burst forth into a mighty
conflagration and deluged the Roman
empire. He was warned to beware of
Brutus and his bunch of spaghetti
eaters but he continued to gobble his

We're aroused from the awful thrall-

right then is when American manhood
got hot under the collar. To have q
bunch of Holsters make fun of the
bone and sinew of the nation; the good
old common people, was enough to
arouse a spirit of fight that would make
Jack rabbit slap a bull dogs face.
And then to consider that all that dis
tinguished the people in the car from
the commonest of the common herd,
was peroxide of hydrogen, money and
few cheap mannerisms The encour-
aging and hopeful side the scene at

only the few as regards the proportions

A recent happening illustrates we'll the
cautiousness of the average politician.
A bill was introduced in the house to
establish four schools of agriculture
one in the southwest part OF the state
Cred Oals), one in the southeast, one In
the northeast and one in the northwest,
and under the mistaken notion that this
was a farmers bill and that the farm
ers wanted it, the committee to which
it was referred, reported it favorably,
to 1.
Now the farmer in Iowa is entitled to
consideration He is the main spoke IN
the wheel, in fact, he is the Yhole
thing. and he should be given re-
spectacle hearing. and his interests
guarded. but no farmer has asked for
this measure. Not to put it too strong,
1 will say, that if any farmer has been
dragooned into its support, it is simply
because he doesn't understand it. In
telligentl farmers will be against it.
The writer is farmer and this bill
only appeals to his sense of the lu-
dicrous
Now do not misunderstood me. do
not want legislators to sheer at the de-
mands OF agriculture, as certain sena-
tors have done, but on the other
hand, it is ludicrous to see men rushing
to the support of perfectly absurd
bill under the belief that it is farmer
measure.
Toadyism, trucking. ,subserviency are
as contemplate as the ill-timed sneers
of the members of the system No
bill is entitled to support because 1T is
or is not farmer measure. 1t is only
entitled to support when it is right.
Take the bill under consideration.

and this school of agriculture is his fad.
It was struggling for existence when
the Judge and his friends appealed to
the legislature for help. 1t was school
of agriculture, the farmers wanted it,

s MOI BINDING rw,ks THEN ROADS.

In the house of representatives yes
terday the bill to establish binding
Irvine plant in the Anamosa peniteh-
tiary was defeated by one vote. 1t was
a close thing to the establishment OF
the industry at cost OF SzoV'VoV ~
the state in the appropriation carried
by the bill.
Perhaps it is as we'll that the biil
was defeated. Too many bills, sup
posedly in the interests of the agrl-
culturists. pass without sufficiently
painstaking inquiry into their value
and expediency. 1t seems the proper
and sensible thing to have a commits
sion report on the prospects before
al new factory is built at heavy cost
to the state. No corporation would
place large capital until it had Sc
cured reports from experts and satis-
fed itself that the investment prom
ised well. Perhaps this is one of the
prominent reasons why corporations
lose less money than the state.
But the inmates of the penitentiar-
les and reforma tories need employ
sment and should be occupied at labor
as little as may be competitive with
the man who is trying to earn an nom
est living and keep out of the peniten-
tiary The Irvine industry appears to
offer such employment. but the state
should satisfy itself that no serious
loss is likely to ensue before it invests
a quarter million of it's cash to keep
5convicts busy.
There is always an outlet for con-
Wet labor in states like Iowa, where
the highways cry aloud for improve
lnent. If we are not to have the bind
ing Irvine factory. why not the road
camp? What could be better for the
health and morals of the convict than
/. summer out-of doors and labor in
the open air? And the roads need the
labor.
