A DIFFERENCE IN MEN.
(Hardin County Citizen.)


What a difference there is in men
in the handling of autos. for instance.
In driving in the country in the west
ern part of the state the other day the
writer was much impressed by the ac-
tons Of the men who were handling
number of these machines which we
CHANGED to meet.
Here comes a man down the road
like a streak of lightning. Your horse
jumps and veers and plunges He goes
past, little caring, little needing You
have your rig smashed to pieces, leg
broken or lose the life of a child
Down the road is capsized vehicle
and the lady who drove it is lying in
bed at the point Of death. The man
with his auto is tearing on. Such fell
lows are neither brute nor human.
They are wors than ghouls. They
may justify themselves in word Of
mouth by saying that they are en-
titled to half the road And the other
man might equally as we'll justify his
conscience for filling the fellows an
atomy with a load of buckshot. This
is one sample of man.
But there is difference. The writer
on the same day met gentleman with
an auto. He stopped it still beside the
road for every rig, if the horse showed
any tendency to become frightened
He was a doctor. He had respect for

WANTS 1T "cuT QUIZ

Editor imes-Republican: 1t oc-
ours to me that the newspaper men of
this country are over working the
word millionaire. One can scarcely
pick UP daily paper without running
across an item something like this:
John Smith, the millionaire merchant
of Podunk, was thrown from his auto
mobile today and broke his right
arm.' Why millionaire 2" Why not
plain John Smith? Is a man any bet
ter or more entitled to newspaper no.
tice because he happens to have a few
more dollars than his less fortunate
and possibly more respected neigh
Dor? Are we trying to create, espec-
tally in the minds Of the young, the
impression that the possession Of
wealth is the only evidence Of ability,
the only measure of success, and the
great avenue of distinction? Let us
try for awhile to cultivate the true
idea. that character and brains are the
only genuine patents Of nobility and
that OF the two the former is vastly
the more important. Millionaires are
neither better or worse because of the
wealth they possess and should be.
measured by the same standards as
other men. If they are modest and
self-respecting they are not seeking
notoriety of the cheap millionaire"
sort. If they are using their wealth in
vulgar display they deserve the same
contempt that is meted out to vulgari-
ty wherever 1t may be found would
suggest to the news editor that it is
time to give the prefix millionaire" a
rest. j. d. MORRISON.

been buried on limb of an oak tree
on the east side Of what is known as

summer of 1868 that your correspond

there were signs of hostilities around

picking up dry sticks to start fire
to make our coffee we went under q
large burr oak tree and finding some
shreds of blankets under a large limb
that ran out nearly straight from the
body Of the tree, we began looking to
see where they came from and there
on that big limb was the remains Of an
Indian wrapped in blankets and bound
fast to the limb with bark. The
head was bare and his hair was wav-

RECKLESS SENSATIONAL1SM.
(Fairfia1d T,ndper0


Mrs. A. b. Sims, of Des Moines, who
once signed herself the champion
woman whist player Of the United
States" has quite the card table to
enter the evangelistic field. She de-
livered a lecture against dancing in
her home city recently in which she
declared that dancing is the direct
cause of the ruin Of young girls" But
she didn't stop there, for she solemnly
asserted that "a far greater per cent
of our young girls are ruined than the
public generally suspects: some au-
thorities claim that So per cent of them
fall" In other words, eighty-tive
women out of every hundred women
in the United States, at one time or
another in their lives, have been i'm
moral or unchaste! Mrs. Sims seems
to be making hit for a home run on
the revival field or the chautauqua
platform. But she should be called to
time for her reckless sensationalism.
This woman's attack on the women OF
the country should not be ignored.
Mrs. Sims should be properly classi-
fed. Turning her loose than cant do
any harm!

RUSH.
tMapleton Press

This is the greatest country in the
world for everything to go with a
rush. The trains rush. Automobiles
rush. Everybody is in rush for a
train and a seat. Before the train
stops they rush for the platform.
They rush into a restaurant and rush
for a table and give the waiter rush
order. They rush the food into the
stomach and then rush for doctor
to get something for their Indigestion.
A fellow will rush girl for a short
time, rush into an engagement with
her, rush after license, rush for q
preacher. to get married, and pretty
soon he Is making a rush for divorce
to end it all. But there are sometimes
when they don't rush. For instance a
man will rush into saloon and never
think or rushing out. He will rush
into newspaper office to subscribe
and forget about the editor for four
years to come. A man will rush thru
life as If he were in hurry to have
1t done with as soon as possible, but
when the time comes for him to die
his rush is over.

AT THE INSANE HOSPITAL.
(Clarinda Herald)

Supplies for the semi-annual per-
Tod beginning Oct. 1, 1907, are be-
ginning to be received at the Clar-
linda State Hospital. To provide
the nearly 200 population OF the
hospital for six months $4,000 pounds
of granulated sugar are required, thir-
ty-nine barrels Of syrup, and 5000
pounds of coffee. besides all other artl-
cles of food. The sugar and SYRUP
now used by the hospital come from
Des Moines, the coffee from Chicago
the beef from Omaha. One weeks
supply Of beef for the institution is 4,
200 pounds.
Fresh fish Is furnished the table
each Friday, and of that 420 pounds
are required for a single meal. Dur
Ding the present semi-annual period the
hospital has a meal of thirty gallons
of fresh oysters every Sunday. 1t
takes 1900 pounds OF live chickens
for enough dressed and cooked to
make single meal for the hospital
population. The pork used by the
hospital is nearly all slaughtered
from the institutions herd, during
the cool and cold weather seasons.
Occasionally ham and bacon are bought
but these articles are so high in
price now that the quantity pur-
chased is necessarily light. Food ma
terials for the hospital cost from is
to % per cent more than formerly,
1T is estimated, and the income be-
ing fixed on an economical basis 1t
Is found hard matter to "n1ake
both ends meet" in buying supplies
with the available cash.
This year the products Of the Clar-
india State Hospital farm are helping
out great deal in sustaining the in
stitution. And We're it not for the in
stitution of these farms turnout the
state and other state institutions would
also suffer or be Inconvenience.

families. Just stop and think of the
difference between these two men.
The reckless use of the auto is
meaning much just now to every home,
especially every country home. TIE
conditions have become such in many
parts that the mother and children en-
the farm are in terror of meeting one
of these machines every time they
drive away from home. They are
afraid to go to town or anywhere. 1t
is time that some of these reckless
auto fiends wake up and learn that
there are other people with rights.
