THE END OF LAMDL0RDlsM. /.

The people Of the United States
should take more than passing pride in
the vindication of the wisdom Of their
free home policies contained in the
land reforms now going onin Ireland.
I The government has just received
popular subscriptions forty times over
! for q. $25,000,000 bond issue which it
| has offered at a three per cent basis
for the purpose Of purchasing from the
great landlords their estates which are
! to be re-sold to the Irish farmer In
small tracts and upon long time.
In the strife Of ancient politics
which assumed the form of wars of
conquest and succession to the throne
the land of the country was used as
/ the spoils Of victory. To the faithful
aides Of the victor went the great es-
/ tates until, in modern times, the land
upon which nation must live be-
Icame curtailed and handed down from
fxeneration to generation by inheri-
tance to such an extent that progress
and prosperity and civilization suf-
Tered blight and decay among a home
less, landless people.
The statesmen Of England and Ire
land finally discovered that the land
must be made available for ownership
| by the man who lived on 1t and worked
ION it before Ireland could ever thrive
again The government is now buying
rat modern prices and the people are
sloaning the purchase money that the
LAND may become possessed by the av-
terage citizen at large. Already $780,
| oo0, 900 have been used in the land re-
form purchase.
In the United States 1t may have
faeemed profligate to have given over

Iship. greed and avarice but this owner
;ship of land by the average citizen. the
free home TO the man who must start
with nothing, has been The source of
aspiration to a mighty development
which has made the nation rich and
has builded 1t upon the solid rocks of
& land-oWning nation of proprietors. 1t

Topics of the Times.

Nobody has as yet sought us out to
tell US how sorry he is that the en-
gagement of the notorious Mrs. Sher-
cliffe as vaudeville feature failed to
have any ducat drawing power Her
contract must have been a peculiar
one If her employer could concel it
without weeks notice. But it's just
as well.
The postal savings bank will pay
only two per cent on deposits while
the building and loan society will pay
six per cent or more and is just as
good guarantee.
Even the railroads Of Iowa are mot
invulnerable when popular sentiment
gets strong enough. They have decided
to give a rate to the state fair of 3
cents mile for the round trip, which
is the outcome of continued, urgent ar
gu1nent. The railroads evidently real
lied that the people deserved what
they asked for and no doubt they will
reap their reward in fat receipts, for
the fair this year is expected to sur
pass all previous ones
Mr.. Hearst, has returned from Eu-
rope and is believed to favor Happy
Hooligan for president on the indie
pendence ticket.
The heritage Of fighting blood which
fell to the son Of Admiral Evans does
not always seem to be directed in the
wisest channels. His defense of fell
low sailors against robbers in San
Francisco won him national applause,
but 1t is doubtful whether this strik-
ing of his superior officer will do the
same. Those who revere his dad only
hope that the blow was provoked.
Hull wins the nomination simply
because nobody can beat Hull.
Harry Thaw's troubles seem never
to end nor to quit bothering the pub
lie. He had heart trouble from the time
he met Evelyn Thaw, brain trouble
when he believed things about Stan
ford White, and now he has stomach
trouble. He is very troublesome
culprit.

engrossed in a huge platter Of boiled
sweet corn, to which the rest of his
dinner served only as sort of relish.
Ear after ear Of corn was turned
adroitly beneath the speakers teeth,
and the countryman gradually forgot
his own appetite in gazing at this pro-
cess.
"Joe," he blurted out finally, II wish
you would tell me in confidence what
it costs you to board here"

replied, picking up fresh ear OF corn

nation offers to its people land which
they can possess at raw land prices
so long will it prosper Whenever Its
opportunity to do this ceases. the I'm
tied States will follow the lead Of the
Irish land reforms and with money
borrowed from the people will buy out
the multi-mllionaire landlords at
forced sale that their land may be re-
sold to the public. No one need ever
fear that private ownership can COM
pei the average citizen to get off the
earth. Ireland reached that point and
found remedy.

A pretty cottage bungalow % by %
: feet with two rooms in the roof is
shown in this plan. Bungalows are
becoming very fashionable in some
places as suburban residences. A
good many families that happen to In
.clude several small children find 1t
necessary to live as near. the country
as possible.
Children are nuisance in flats, so
they are driven out and parents are
obliged to go further and fare better.
In all large cities the fiat evil has
taken possession of the population
until women without, children have
become selfshly accustomed to living
in these little packing boxes, and they
dread to make change. But when
they have families the children grow
up to be noisy, then the neighbors OBJ
ject, and a move becomes necessary.
There are hundreds Of such little
bungalows within 10 or 20 miles Of
Chicago, where families OF children
have found comfortable homes very
much to their advantage. Transports
ton on steam roads is almost as
quick for ten or f1fteen-mile run as
the ordinary street car is for one
third of the distance. The family can
grow fruit and vegetables enough to
easily make the difference in car fare,

when necessary. Generally speaking,
a separate entrance from the porch is
liked better than to have the front
door open directly into the living
room.
Where no cellar is provided an
extra good pantry is needed for stor.
age. The cost of building it in this
way is but little extra, because the
same projection answers for the rear
porch. The front porch is built in
a very economical way, as it saves the
usual button veranda and it looks
very well for little house Of this
kind.

To Study Fire Fighting Methods.

Brig.-Gen. Joseph Stephen Adams,
head of the Buda-Pesth fire brigade,
at the command of the Hungarian
government, is in Philadelphia to
study its fire department. He pur-
poses to learn from the inside, by
experience, and to that end he will
respond to alarms and drag leads of
hose, like everyday professional blue
shirt" In explaining his mission to
this country to Mayor Reyburn he
said he wanted to be commissioned as
a fireman, and, if necessary, wear the
uniform of the Philadelphia depart

The main object in building bunga-

The Iowa City Republican remarks:
This talk about corporation subscrip-
lions is a lot of rot calculated to catch
the feeble minded. The campaign man
ayers know they are playing horse with

"The democratic platform denounces

ct is to be hoped that the fragrant

On Sunday morning however, the
