AND II is CHRISTMAS TIME.

Dies MONIES newspapers relate a
story that doesn't seem to belong to
Christmas time Mrs. Nellie Cox has
been a long time resident of Des
Moines on the east side. Her home
seems once to have been happy and
pleasant one where many friends and
relatives enjoyed and received well
come and it's best hospitality Long
ago her husband deserted her but she
appears to have gone on living and
doing her part uncomplainingly. Her
children died and the old wom-
an was alone In the world.
AS her weakness grew she seems
to have found life hard. Three
weeks ago the Officer of the humane
society found her sick and helpless,
took her to the county hospital where
she died Today her body is unclaimed
at an undertakers establishment and
it is said will be sent to some medical
school to be used as a cadaver.
Does it occur to us that this is hard
and heartless? Is 1t a square deal? The
old woman doesn't care. 1t will not
matter to her whether she is laid UNI
der granite monument or plunged
into the picking vat of a, medical coll
lege. Perhaps while she lay lonely
and dying she longed for some of the
familiar faces that had shone in her
had shared her comfort. However,N the
old woman has passed beyond all that
But is 1t square deal for ourselves
and for our children? How is the resi-
dent of the east side, the old ac-,
quaintance and. possible neighbor of
this old woman to explain it to his
curious children? When an old woman
who has kept out of the poorhouse and
out of Jail until the weakness of years
conquered her strength and spirit. dies
in need and her weakened old body is
turned over to science for the price of
a burial it was denied, how would the
parent square the circumstance with
the story of the Christ Child if the lit
tie ones about his knee We're to force
the embarrassing question?
1t is pretty hard to lose husband,
children, friends, die UNDECIDED and Of
fer the remnant of mortality that re-
mains to the horror of the dissecting
table. 1t is harder that children must
know that this is the possible end of
the unfortunate.

A SENSATIONAL FINISH.

The spirit which sixty years ago
caused men to sell their property, bid
goodbye to their friends at home and
invade an almost trackless prairie for
the sole purpose of founding Christian
college is being put to, a test at Grin
nell There college, which has grown
from the personal sacrifices and priva-
tons of it's founders into the superla-
tive class among all colleges west Of
the Mississippi river, is struggling to
complete the final sums of a half mill
ion endowment which it must have II
it is to continue to do the work which
it has been doing for half a century.
The Rockefeller board of education has
offered 100000 and Andrew Carnegie
has offered $4,000 toward the endow-
ment upon the condition that s350,000

uary.

GLIDING it's rural population in the
vicinity have turned out to raise money
for the college. the trustees have come
| forward with very large sum, one
man giving $4,000 and another $4,000.
Some 600 students have gone to their
homes under promise to raise money
for the college Every alumnus who
has gone out from the college since the
early classes of '65 has been canvassed
and the returns have been enormous.
but Iowa college at Grinnell is unfor-
tunate in that it has no multimillion-
aire friend to call upon in this hour
of need
With less than two weeks of time
left the college is within $4,000 of its
goal Almost 100000 has been raised
from its friends, but $4,000 more must
come in the next ten days in order to
claim the s15O,0OO offered by Rookie
Teller and Carnegie. OF this the town
of Grinnell Is endeavoring to raise S10.-
900 altho its citizens in the aggregate
have already subscribed very close to
100000. At least $4,000 must be
raised outside of Grinnell, and raised
within q week. 1t is a race that should
arouse mems sporting blood. 1t is to
be sensational finish. 1t is race
that must be won.
1t would seem that college which
could be started in wilderness by
men who had little but their enthus-
iasm and perseverance with which to
endow 1t: a college which educated
early generations who sawed wood,
taught school. MIXED cows and moved
lawns in order to get an education; a
college which has given the highest
grade of education this side of Harv-
ard college, ought to findsthe financial
support it needs among millions OF
people, prosperous. cultured and pub
lie spirited. It's present necessities
must be due to the individuals failure
to appreciate what importance is at
tached to his note of 500 to $1,000 In
this eleventh hour Of the campaign.
Few people realize what public bene-
fit it is to have a college within their
state, and fed people realize what it
means when one town of 5000 people
has raised 100000 by POI ar SUBJ
scription. 1t is because the college
town, the trustees and the alumni have
done their limit, that Iowa college is
appealing to the public with out
stretched arms at this time. Theres
are hundreds of thousands Of men
within the call of this newspaper who
enjoy am abundant surplus; have any.
of them a cent for education?

INSPECTING HOTELS,

Assemblyman Courtwright at the re-
quest and instance of the travelling
men of the state will ask the legis-
lature to enact a law providing for
state inspection of hotels. His bill will
provide for fire escapes, and fire pro-
tective apparatus, properly built and
protected elevators, sufficient sanitary
precautions as regards sewerage. etc.
The bill or one very similar should
be enacted. 1t is needed for the pro-
lection Of the travelling public. Too
many hotels in Iowa as in other states
are simply fire traps with narrow
Stairways built of the most infiam-
mable wood without fire escapes of any
sort and waiting for accident or care
lessness to complete the tragedy for
which all is arranged When it hap
pens the telegraph wires will be bur-
dened again with the names of the men
and women who died like rats in a
trap and descriptions of the horrors
that shaking hands dig out of the ruins
OF hotel disaster.
There are a great many suggestions
that might be made along the proposed
legislation There is much more than
lack of sewerage and fire protection
that needs reform and is ripe for in
spection in hotels. However, the bill as
proposed deals with the most msistent
and necessary reforms of public houses
and it should receive attention at the
hands of the assembly.

THE NEW SPIRIT OF THE FARM
(Grinnell Herald.)

THE NEW SPIRIT OF THE FARM.
(Grinnell Herald)
We have heard much in recent years
about "the new spirit of the farm
but recently we have seen two very
excellent illustrations of this new
spirit close at hand. One was the or
ganization of farmers institute here
the other day. While farmers or
CARNATIONS are not new institutions
the spirit which is back of the Powe-
shiek county institute is a new one
that of Improvement in agricultural
methods. 1t is the spirit that regards
agriculture as science and a field
for the specialist. The time was and
not so very long ago. either when 1T
was thought that any man could run
a farm Today it is recognized that 1T
requires a man with a clear brain and
a good training to make a really sue
cessful farmer And the Poweshiek
County Farmers Institute is organ
lied with the idea that by getting to-
gether and hearing lectures from ag-
ricultural experts and exchanging
ideas each may receive benefit. 1t is
a recognition of the principle that men
are never too old to learn and that
every little bit of knowledge helps in
agriculture as in everything else.
The other evidence of this new and
broadening spirit of the farm is found
in the list Of farmers who have con-
tributed very substantial aid to Iowa
college in her endowment campaign.
In one sense these gifts were 'impelled
by the generosity Of the donors. And
yet we think that in it there is also a
recognition of the fact that the inter-
ests of town and country are interde-
pendent There used to be an old idea
that the interests of the rural popu-
ation and the town population ran
counter to each other 1t was the
town VS.. the country" Now we know
that both prosper or fail together:
that whatever goes to make for better
crops makes for better towns and
whatever makes for better towns
makes also for the happiness and COM
fort of the country. And so by
the interest," which town merchants
and college faculty are taking in the
annual corn contest as well as by the
generous gifts of the farmers tel the
college is shown the mutually of in
terests which is one of the phases of
the new agricultural spirit.
