KEEP OUT OF Politics.
lDavenport Tim.es.)

(DaVeIlpOEC lILGS.J
The Travellers Protective association
of Iowa was given an opportunity to
mix into politics at its convention at
keokuk last week. j. A. Uhler of Bur-
lington presented resolution advocat-
ing that the railroads of Iowa keep
out of politics and attend strictly to
the transportation question" Mr.. Uh-
Ter did not seem to realize that by the
changing of few words the resolution
could be made applicable closer home.
Suppose it had been made to read,
that the travellers of Iowa keep out
of politics and attend strictly to the
selling question While Uhler did
not see the point, the other members
of the association did, and they i'm
mediately voted to turn down the res
olution for the reason that they them
selves, as association members, make
a practice Of refraining from mixing
up in political matters. 1t Is one Of
the sources of strength of the T. p. A.
that 1t steers clear of political shoals
and consequently avoids danger Of
being wrecked.

not annoy the New York boss any

KEEP YOUR EYE ON IOWA.

1 Iowa is no longer open to the charge
Of devoting more attention to improv-
i ing it's breed Of livestock than of its
boys and girls. The Hawkeye state
for years has been contributing to the
4 world a large share of the pork and
| the corn consumed. Now its brains
and genius are being drafted in In
creasing quantities.
Many men have honored Iowa within
the memory Of the present generation,
by being called to greater opportunity
and service in politics. in education In
| business and in reform work. Iowa has
given to the political and diplomatic
| service a Kasson, to the cabinet of the
president g, Wilson, the greatest agri-
cultural secretary ever serving the ma
| ton and who has the record of hold
| ing his position thru two administra-
tions. Iowa has given to literature
Octave Thanet and DR. Shaw, the lat
ter an alumnus of Grinnell. When
New York desired an organizer tor its
great charity societies, 1t drafted an
Iowa school man. Edward T. Devine,
and Devine has made good. The prod
ucts Of its colleges are being sought
in far-off states, and students from
the great college at Ames are spread
ing the gospel Of farm science.
When the great Methodist conference
at Baltimore was confronted with the
necessity Of choosing eight additional
bishops, the delegates naturally turned
to Iowa. They elected DR.. w. S. Lew
is, president Of ,Morningside college,
Sioux City, as one, DR.. Lewis, an
alumnus of Cornell college, at Mt. YER
non, is said to be admirably fitted Tor
the episcopacy. The conference was not
satisfied with one bishop educated in
the HaWkeye state, and elected also
DR.. B. II. Hughes, president of De-
Pauw University. DR.. Hughes is an
Iowa man, being an alumnus Of Grin
nell college, and his aged parents are
residents Of Grinnell. DR.. Hughes
preached his maiden sermon in a coun-
try church near Marshalltown. DR..
Homer c. Stuntz, another Cornell
alumnus, and for many years an Iowa
preacher, probably will be honored by
the conference with the missionary
secretaryship, a position but one de-
gree removed from the episcopacy.
Keep your eye on Iowa. When the
railroad crowd gets the habit OF bolt
ing the ticket regularly, thus making
Iowa a doubtful state, the nation will
look to us for presidential candidate.
And his name won't be Dolliver, either.

DANGERS BesEr THE IDLE RICH.

If YOU are poor, rejoice. II you are
as far from riches as is the east from
the west, be glad. If fortune smiles
at everybody else and passes you by
coldly-lift up your voice in song,
When YOU contemplate the fact that
you do not have to sit up late at
night until the wftohing hour when
churchyards yawn and graves give up
their dead, in order to clip the coupons
off your bonds or to make entries of
dividends in your private journal, 1t is
good cause for you to exult with limit
less glee.
Think what 1t is to be rich. What
perils beset him who hath the price!
Cast your eye, for instance on the
spectacle of Hon. Thomas G. Platt,
senior senator from the great state OF
! New York, who affords a striking dem
onstration of the argument that riches
have great dangers. If you have mon
| ey, some one else is covetous and
would try to pry you loose from 1t.
| Platt is halfway between 20 and 80
years of age. He's rich beyond any
thought of want, much less poverty.
He's a great man. in the sense of a
"has been,'' for in his day he was po-
litical boss of his state, head of big
| express company, and made money
faster than he cared to spend it. The
money made life easy for him. So he
naturally sought amusements. Whether
or not they were always exactly of as
dignified sort as would comport
with his advanced age, seems doubt
full, if we are to judge by his friend
ship for Mae Wood. This friendship
was Platt's amusement and put him on
the danger line.
Miss Wood was not wealthy. in fact
she had to toll for living, and despite
Platt's friendship for her he did not
give her all the money she would have
| liked, so 1t was necessary for her to
use unpleasant means to tear him
asunder from some of it. She got &c.

GROWTH OF RURAL DELIVERY.
(SheMield loress.)


Every farmer who now receives his
mail by the rural free delivery will, in
the course OF a few weeks. be able to
make his collection by the same medi-
UNI. Cash on money orders will be
paid into his hands and all that he
will be called upon to do is to sign the
receipt The money will be brought
to his own door. This feature is the
latest exemplification Of the perfec-
ton Of the rural mail delivery. Under
the rules the rural mail carriers have
always taken applications for money
orders but the new system provides
for their pawn ent also and payment
will be made to farmers up to 500:
This is regarded as the highest devel-
opment of the rural free delivery sys-
tenn and it's benefits will be duly APP
preciated.
