MARRIAGE FAILURES
Several Reasons Advanced-Home the
Sanctuary of Dearest Faith and
Love.

New Orleans States: Man and woman
should live their married life alone in
their own home,- even if it is only two
rooms. Let their bafaed efforts, their
quarrels and kissing and repentance be
sheltered in the spirit of home Many a
woman has faltered and rushed into re-
5ellion because of the nagging and sug
gestions of home folks. Many brilliant
nan 5 career has been checked by dom
ineering one-opinion autocratic father-in
law, Many child knows the tyranny
Of destiny of a separated mother and
father because papa OF mamma wanted
a. married daughter or son to live with
them
There are many reasons why mar
riagcs are failures but there is one thing
sure, if woman wants to ruin the
chances Of her having a good husband.
Just let her papa give him the best room
N the house. release him from all fnan-
cial obligations, invest money in business
for him. or make him a partner in his
own business. New Orleans society
marriages tell many a story Of marriage
failures because some foolish, loving
oapa put their daughters husband on a
,evel of no work. When papa wanted
sim to work Mr., Husband would not
work. 1t is truly said: Habit is human
nature.
When Arabs marry, they go to thei.-
own tent. Morning and evening they
sing God IS great, God is Great in All

MORALS AND A JOB.

Not many days ago one of the larg
asked some very pertinent questions
regarding the kind of men he would
be likely to select for position of
trust. This man buys hand dexterity,
business ability, and brains His DEAL
ings with workers run pretty well thru
the gamut of the different classes Of
men who sell their services. His an
swers would astonish the avera ge
young man who has gained, in one
way or another, the impression that
"if man does his work, his personal
character is OF little concern to the
employer"
What he was looking for was the
clean man, one who feels a personal
responsibility, not alone toward his
job, but to his family, himself and the
community in general. He wanted the
man who thinks well Of himself.
No young man under % who is in the
habit of taking a drink when he
wants to" need apply there for a po-
sition that brings him close to the en-
ployer, or that entails special trust and
responsibility. He won't have him.
No man whose morals are openly bad
can find employment in the real work,
the creative work, of the business in
which this man is engaged. OF course
La common laborer, "roustabout,"
might not find his character closely
scrutinized, and so long as he drove
with yigor, might hold his job and his

evil habits But this labor is evanes-
cent. 1t isn't the kind the young mar
hopes for. 1t never gets close to the
central office. The labor that comes
as we'll as efficient.
Don't tlatter yourself, young man
that you can have one character in
business and another in private EV-
cry mans face is an index to his hopes
and his habits. Don't imagine that
YOU can cope with the man of correct
habits and carry an undercurrent of
scoundrelism. Don't get the idea that
your misdeeds are hidden in a minor
town at least. from common report. If
you play poker, hundreds know 1t. IT
you are immoral in other ways, some
one knows and tells It, If you were
drunk In a party of friends" some one
OF these whisky friends" told 1t before
the headache you acquired had worn
itself out Perhaps he had been drunk
himself and wanted company In his
reputation. Anyway. he told it. You
know he did.
More than ever before, clean men are
in demand. If you were to hire man
to look after your interests. you would
go outside the circle in which you find
immoral and degeneratlve amusement.
If you have been OUT with family
man of loose morals. have you ever
noticed that he fails to invite you to
his home?
So In business: You may he boon

he fails to notice you. He is with an

Good morals and the best success go
hand in hand. You can't separate
them.

Mr.. HARRlm4N,s Joke.

Mr. E. II. Hartman has made joke
He says that his years of experience
in railroad affairs eminently qualify
him for the position of interstate COM
MERGE commissioner, and that he may,
sooner or later, ask for the job.
OF course, Mr.. Hartman was jocular
in his remarks. He is not likely to find
the salary of commissionership es-
pecially attractive soon but there is
something more than a joke in his
pleasantly.
Mr.. Hartman is right. His years OF
experience are an excellent qualifica-
ton for the position to which he refers.
There are, however, other important
qualifications that he seems not to pos
sess. Among these are the most i'm
portant OF all, an honest desire to serve
the public and judge impartially be-
tween the interests of the many and
the greed Of the few. Experience is a
weapon that cuts on both edges. We
have had instances of the futility of
trusting men whose only qualification
is experience. Interstate commerce or
state railroad commission the impor-
tant and essential qualification is hon
esty. Men may gain experience. Few
men grow new consciences.
However, we are coming to a time
when men of the highest capacity will
ask and desire to hold the positions
which are the objects of the railroad
magnate's merriment, because they feel
their responsibility for the square deal.
We are coming to new ideals of what
constitutes prominence. The time Is
coming. when the measure of service
shall not be hard cash. and when men
of capacity will not be on the market
to the highest bidder. Whatever his
purchase price may be- no cheaper man
exists than the one who may be bought
from great work to the service of the
stock market and the manipulation Of
the ticker. We are breeding a new
type of public men and of private cit
izenship. When it arrives, men like
Hartman will not sneer at the idea
of public service for public good.

NEED OF JOINT RATES.

| The 2-cent fare bill went thru on
creased rails. Not a single member of
| the lower house dared to oppose it. The
| bill will become law during this ses-
sion. and the people of Iowa Will be
riding on railroads at cents per mile
after July ] next. One reform mas
been accomplished as the direct result
,of a Cummins victory in last summers
convention.
But the 2-cent fare will be of infinl-
tesimal benefit to the public as COM
pared to what could be accomplished
by revision Of the freight rates. Elk
Governor Larrabee has explained how
the tax upon the country for freight
charges is many times greater than all
government taxes, national, state,
county, school and town combined. In
Iowa our loss of population and slow
growth in manufacturing is directly
attributable to inequitable freight
rates. Iowa wants a revision that will
equalize the handicap Of rates which
break at Mississippi and Missouri river
points and add high local to all In
coming shipments to interior Iowa
points, and every city, excepting pos
sibly Des Moines, wants a joint rate
equal practically to the same distance
tariff on one road. Today jobbers and
manufacturers located in Iowa towns
must pay the sum Of two short haul
local tariffs when they ship to points
which require routing over two rail-
roads, or the sum of three short haul
locals If routed over three roads; yet
some competitor outside the state can
reach these same towns at much
greater distance for even less freight
which has access to nearly every road,
has the advantage Of one local for al
most every shipment
Every large town in iowa should
have a. traffic manager. Des Moines
has one, and ,he has saved more than
his $50 per week salary in the correc-
tions Of overcharges he has made on
freight bills for Des Moines business
men. Besides this, he has secured
changes in classifcations on commodi-
ties in which Des Moines is interested,
which materially reduce the rates on
Des Moines business. Every large
town in Iowa should have such a man.
Then they could move on the legisla-
ture with some force and secure joint
tariff which would build up Iowa cities.
Business men should know what is the
matter with Iowa

Was the low. sweet wordless grooming

But the frnges Of that midnight

Her hearts unconscious beating starry

Tho a worlds wild footballs at her

Much of the hostility that the roads
affect to see In the public mind against
them is due primarily to the strenuous
way in which they fight against re-
forms in their management and against
changes in their schedules made neces-
sary by changed Industrial, commer-
cial and social conditions" observes the
Waterloo Reporter. "A greater willing
ness to meet the public half way would
work wondrous change"
The DEBORAH Republican approves
the course of the democrats in the
legislature in preparing primary bill
embodying their views of the question
The present election law was adopted
in 1892 under such circumstances" the
Republican recalls "and better law
vas secured than would have been
adopted if there had not been a party
rivalry aroused when it came from
the house to the senate and had to
run the gauntlet of democratic COM
mittee."
Noting that bill is to be introduced
in the Illinois legislature making the
minimum salary of school teachers in
that state $40 per month";" the Cedar
Falls Record says something will have
to be done here in Iowa or there will
not be teachers enough to instruct the
children of the state in a few years
