diets the Bremer County Independent.
"If TreWin is such a big man, 1t is
strange that his ability is not recog-
nized by members of the Linn county
bar, where both candidates arc known"
says the Mt. Vernon Record. I'VE
venture the assertion that three out
of every four of the lawyers of Linn
county are for Mr.. Good, and they are
for him because they believe him to
be the best man for the place"
The Clinton Herald believes that
One of the lessons taught by the
Chelsea calamity is to cover the roof
of every building with q nreproof
tile. No matter how humble the
structure, take leaf out of Europe's
wise books and build no more inilam-
mable cardboard blocks"
"If Iowa did not have a political fight
on 1t would indeed be lonesome" de-
clares the Sioux City Tribune. Bound
ed on the north by faction on the
south by faction: and the east by fac
ton and on the west by faction, why
not have factions at home?
The Cedar Rapids Gazette believes
that "One trouble with congress, and
especially the upper house, is that
while the members have been going
back to Washington term after term.
they have grown to believe that their
mere presence within the sacred pre-
cincts OF the halls of legislation Is a
sufficient guard for the country: they
have been unmindful of arising evils,
and have failed to see the need of pro-
gressive legislation; either that or
they have been part Of the evils, rep
resenting special interests instead Of
representing the people"
Speaking Of progressive newspapers
and of J. w. Blythe. the standpat Mus
catne Journal says: ut certainly
CRATES on our sense OF the propriety
of things to see these same papers
grill daily a man for whom we have
q certain sense of sympathy because
he was a boss and is no longer"
"Cheer up!" exclaims the Sioux City
Journal. "rhe record goes to show
that the fruit buds have as many lives

up before he begins work. Quizzes ere
held, too, at frequent intervals, and the
employees must show they know the
other mans work as we'll as their own.
This plan, however, while successful
in big establishment, is not neces-
sary in smaller business. There ev-
cry man has ample opportunity to
learn the business IL he will apply him
SELF If he lifts his thoughts above the
blowing OF the whistle on week days
and the pay envelope on Saturday
night, and takes real interest in his
employers business, he will find time
to learn enough of that business to fill
post above when vacancy occurs.
And he will gain as much as his en-
ployer by proving himself more than
a mere cog In the machine.

GOOD WOULD CURB MONOPOLY.
(From His vinton Address)

from Richmond to Wall street.
Deception has been practiced on
large part of the republican voters OF
today This deception has been &C
complished in large measure, thru
the medium of a part of the press
which the president has denominated
the purchased newspapers, ano
muckrakers." 1t has also arisen by
reason Of the argument that men make
political issues; then, by creating a
prejudice against a man who may
espouse needed reforms, a prejudice Is
aroused against the principles Of re-
publicanism

Great as was the demand for the
passage of laws in 1856, guaranteeing
equal rights to all, the demand for
such laws is greater today, than ever
before in the history of our nation.
Inequality existed in 1906 in a more
marked degree than it did in 1856.
Then it existed in the absence of
specific laws; today, it defies statutory
enactments, and exists in spite of them.
That great octopus, human greed, that
for more than half century, con-
trolled the government nominated our
officers, and dictated our policies, still
exists. 1t has only been transferred

A FABULOUS ASSET.
(Muscatine Journal.)

(MuScat1ne Journal.)
No man can go further on pull"
than you can lift yourself "tugging"
at your own boot straps. There may
be few exceptions to this rule, but
what If there are? They only prove
its correctness.
No man ever held a responsible
position as the result Of a pull A
corporation could not afford to keep
a man even tho he were q relative
of one of the "big guns" in a 'bie;" job
unless he were a "big" man. They
might give him q fiat" job that pays
a fiat" salary but at best he would
be naught but a figurehead.
Pulls of the kind usually meant
when the word Is used are at best
but filmy things. They are dreams
to most Of us who seeing in our too
verdant imagination brilliant visions

thrown in their paths. Then some day
by some hook or crook the woof OF
their pull gives way and down they go.
incapable Of self sustainment and no
longer held up by outside influences,
doomed to failure in this world. per-
haps in the next.
The man with an actual pull is as
a rule so handicapped that the pos
sibility Of his being useful to the
world is about as great as the chance
of the conquest Of England by the Re-
public of Panama.

LEARN THE OTHER MANS JOB.

(Ottumwa Courier)
Employers sometimes find them
selves in quandary when they at
tempt to fill the post of some valuable
employee who has gone higher 1t US
ually happens that the man filling this
post outgrew 1t. He had become more
valuable in some other department,
where his services were worth more, or
had gone to some other firm who were
able to do more for him. The employer
looks about among the other workers
and finds himself unable to fill the va
cant post from their numbers because
none of the others were familiar with
the work of the man higher up.
They had not learned the other
mans job.
AS cogs In the machine they fitted
excellently. They could do their part
of the work in manner with which
no fault could be found. But they.
never took the time nor the pains to
familiarize themselves with the work
of the other men. They never tried to
fit themselves to any other cogs in the
machine And outside of their own
particular department they were of no
value to the firm.
An eastern corporation which en-
ploys large number of men has talk
en- steps to remedy this. A book has
been published at the expense of the
firm which gives complete informa-
ton of the workings of each cog in the
machine The employees are furnished
copies free and are expected to mas
ter not only the portions pertaining to
their own work, but the entire book.
A new employee is told to read his man
ual and do nothing else until he has
thoroughly mastered it. This gives
him a general knowledge of the bust
ness, and If there are any points he
does not understand they are cleared
