WAYS OF ATTACKING POVERTY

Philadelphia Ledger.-The problem
of poverty has been pretty thoroughly
studied in this generation. Without
pretending to intimate that all is
known that can be known or that wis
dom will die with us, yet it appears
pretty clear that one of the worst
possible means of attacking the pow.
erty problem is to give great sums
of money to the poor. The right aim
of society is justice and charity. Char
ity is always to be regarded as pal
liative, as an attempt to render some
measure of equity where the ordinary
processes-that is to say, the system
of society at that time in vogue-have
failed. The socialists and dreamers
imagine vainly that the only factor
in the failure to distribute the bens-
fits of society is the think called a
frame of government or the collective
thing called the fabric of society,
whereas the greatest factor contribute
ing to the failure is human nature
and the inherent defects of indivi-
duals.

ANNUAL DIVIDENDS.

Cedar Rapids Gazette THE Gazette
would like to suggest that the bill pass
ed by the Iowa house last week, pro-
viding that after January 1, 1908, no
life insurance company doing bust
ness in Iowa can write other than an
nual dividend policies, is a good one.
The proposed law forbids absolutely
deferred or accumulated surplus poll
cies. 1t, however, safeguards the inter-
ests Of the companies by providing that
the dividend paying period need not
begin until the third year in which the
policy has been in force. The measure
is good one because 1t is in the inter-
est of the policy holder. It returns to
him, at the time the dividends ought
to be returned, his proper share of the
dividends. It prevents the accumula.
ton Of vast funds, unnecessary for the
protection of the policy Of the insured,
funds which in the past have tempted
insurance magnates until they fell q

TAFT. FORAKER AND CANNON.

Chicago Inter Ocean.-The efforts at
the national administration to make
Secretary Taft heir apparent to the
presidency in 1908 are interesting, but
for both general and specific reasons
are likely to be futile.
The gamer reason i. that the Amer
Kan peorle inj.ilctlvelv rsent the idea
IF an h. II appa ert. 1iilcv do not re-
gard it IS the American way for an
administrat;c To nam. ,'e suco efs or.
The specifi: reason is fnnnG i'll tie
situation in Ohio politics. Senator For
aker has come to be the recognized
head of the republican organization in
Ohio. His strength and his popularity
were never SO great there as they are
today. He is regarded by the republi-
cans of his own state as the represen-
tative Ohioan.
Hence it follows that If Mr.Taft is
to go before the republican national
convention as the favorite's son of
Ohio it must be through the kindness
and generosity Of Senator Foraker.
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Foraker are person
ally friendly, but even remote
chance at the greatest prize of public
HE 10 uoI puSSSu llOll u1oA W ucu do
commonplace courtesy.
If Ohio presents a favorite son to
the republican convention of 1908
which We do not regard as very likely,
1T is evident that the man so exalted
will not be the Hon. William H. Taft,
but the Hon. Joseph B. Foraker
In word, on the face Of things,
Secretary Taft is not today avail
able" And this is an unbiased opinion
of course, in view of the fact that II
linois has already committed herself
to the Hon. Joseph G. Canon as the
foremost republican candidate of the
middle west for 1908.

reached the center of the stage so to
speak in relations to the whole coun-
try At these epoch-making periods
the name Fort Dodge was emblazoned
across the whole sky and the people
of the United States looked from every
direction
There was the Cardiff Giant in years
gone by. 1t wasn't exactly thing
to boast of and the. people who per-
petrated the fake on the country were
not Fort Dodgers. but willingly or Tin
willingly the town has the reputation
of being the birthplace of that most
successful joke on the scientists and
people. The slab of gypsum rock from
Fort Dodge when transformed into a
dead giant made several fortunes for
the originators of the scheme News
papers we're not SO keen after stories
in this days and Fort Dodge did not
get as much notoriety out fits part
in the Cardiff Giants construction as
it would in these days.
The next sensation of nationwide
size was more creditable. Years rolled
around and from country village
Fort Dodge took up city ways. Among
other things that were changed was
the custom of turning the town COWS
loose to break down fences and ruin
sidewalks. An ordinance was passed
by the council forbidding the turning
loose of COWS within the limits of the
corporation There was some opposi-
tion-not so much as was thought by
some who read in the newspapers of
the ordinances passage. A short tele-
gram to a metropolitan paper about
the progressive step called forth more
kilograms for columns of descriptive
copy than have ever been received by
newspapers here at any one time ex-
cept when Pomeroy was hit by cy-
clone. The stories that were sent out
they gave the city papers what they
wanted. Fort Dodge was known as
Cow Town" for a long time, after
that.
Mayor Sorber of Gowrie got his
share of fame a couple of years ago by
his alleged commands regarding the
promotion of matrimony. But as the
proper length of time has rolled
around for Fort Dodge to get into the
lime-light that did not interfere with
the prominence Mayor S. j.. Bennett
enjoys now as stern dictator from
whose commands recreant bachelors
and spinsters quail.
Fort Dodge is proud of many super
ior natural resources and of possessing
citizens of brains The future pros.
poets for a Greater Fort Dodge are
very encouraging. but 1t is matter
of doubt if the time will ever come

open their columns and clamor for
material to fill them with praise in the

spirit Of fair play would ultimately

He is right.
1t is the national spirit of fair play
that has created the very legislation
about which the railroads are now SO
concerned. This legislation is not the
result OF any radical tendency. 1t does
not mean that lot of local statesmen

1t means you've got to play fair"
The fight may continue for some
time. Sweeping reforms are not &C.

WILSON APPRECIATED.

1Owa's remaining member OF the
President Roosevelt's cabinet, Secre.
tary Wilson of the department of agri.
culture, bids fair to break all records
for continuous service in the cabinet
Commenting on this probability the
Washington, D. c., Post, says:
Rumors of Secretary Wilson's re.
tirement from the cabinet have ap.
peared from time to time, but if re.
mark attributed to- the President re.
Gently accurately represents his views
on the matter, Wilson's tenure in the
official household of Mr.. Roosevelt is
certain. According to this report, Mr.
Roosevelt said that he had but one re.
quest to make to his successor and
that would be to continue Mr.. Wilson
at the head of the agriculture depart.
ment for a few months, SO that he
could break all records for the length
Of continuous service in the cabinet.
The record. it appears, is now held by
Albert Gallatin of Pennsylvania. He
was appointed secretary of the treas.
ury on January 26, 1902, by Thomas
Jefferson, was re-appointed by Presi
dent Madison, and served until Febru
airy 9, 1914.
If the reported statement of the
President is true. and it is to be hoped
1t is, Secretary Wilson's position will
be secure for number of years to
come. And with his position secure
there will be an added security given
to the agricultural interests of the
country. Under Mr. Wilson'S admins
tration scientific experiments have
been undertaken and difficulties over
come which have been of incalculablg
benefit to farmers, and no one knows
this better than the farmer himself
If the question was left to the farmer
Secretary Wilson would be voted a
lifetime job as head if his department
