THE YOUNG MAN OF 1871.

Senator Allison has birthday today
He is 10 wears old and has served In
congress since 1862. Forty-six years
legislator is record which will
stand in history unequaled for many
generations. AS the soldiers OF the
civil war pass in review a silent pro-
cessiol marching toward the great be-
yond they can contemplate with aston
ishment the man who was almost
fifteen years their senior on the day the
first guns were fired at Fit. Sumpter
They can marvel at the man who
seems to have so far outlived the men
of his day as to belong almost to past
generation.
1t will be with interest that the aged
and grey haired men, whoHwere the ac-
tive politicians of 1872, will recall the
senatorial campaign which ragged thru
out Iowa thirty-seven years ago. Iheh
it was the young men of northern Iowa
and Allison against the old men OF
southern Iowa, and the venerable Har-
Ian. So fierce did the contest become
that candidates for the general assem-
bly universally were compelled to de-
clare where they stood and not a few
in northern Iowa were defeated at the
polls by Allison men because they had
failed to get on the Allison side so
bitter was the campaign against the
venerable Harlan that charges of IL
legal conduct when superintendent of
public instruction, were preferred
against him and he was defeated in
the legislative caucus. Harlan had
been a leader in the senate, trusted
friend to Lincoln and Grant and held
the confidence, esteem and admiration
of the republicans Of Iowa, but the
Young men of northern Iowa were de-
termined to have young man from
their part of the state in the senate and
they won.
In those days the Burlington Hawk
eve. Sioux City Journal and Des MONIES
Republican stood by the old man Har-
Ian. While the Dubuque Times and Des
Moines Register boosted the young
man Allison. 1t was a memorable
campaign in the political history Of
Iowa. but it is probable that not {; sim
gle participant in that campaign ever
dreamed that the young man Allison
would live to celebrate his 18th birth
day as a member of the United States
senate, and d majority of the young
men Of Iowa who supported him to
success in that campaign. have since
been gathered to their fathers by the
passing of time.

LOOK TO YOUR SEED,

With the passing of the first of
March it is timely to caution every
farmer to beware Of impure seeds lest
the labor of his season be poorly re-
war6ed or his land become seeded to
noXious weeds. So important has be-
come the matter of clean and pure seed
that every European country with the
exception of Spain and Turkey mas
government testing stations to test the
seeds and strict laws regulating the
sale of same.
At the last session of the Iowa leg
islatu a statute was enacted estab-
fishing very high standard of purity
for seeds sold in this state but it does
not apply to seeds shipped into the
state from outside points and until the
federal government regulates the seed
business by drastic legislation the Iowa
farmer had better stick TO the Iowa
seed dealer and know that the seeds
he BUYS have been made pure under
heavy penalties for violation OF the
state law.
The same conditions prevail In the
seed business as in the food business.
Before Iowa had 4 pure food law many
a factory and jobber outside the state
was using Iowa for a dumping ground
for adulterated foods of a much IN
ferior quality to those sold in adjoin-
ing states but because of the fact that
food products reached the consumer
thru a resident retail dealer the state
pure food law regulated this business.
In the case Of seeds it is feared that
there will be dumping OF interior
grades upon the Iowa farmer provided
he does not take the precautlon to puy
within the borders of his state ana
bring the sale within the jurisdiction
of the state law, enforcing purity or
seeds. Look to your seeds this spring
and keep your eyes turned to points
this side of the state boundaries.

Mail Order Matrimony.
New Orleans Times-Democr

(NeW (JFltfiIlS IllueS-De'IHOCId
1t is a grave question whether the
government has the constitutional
right to conspire against mail order
matrmony If we are permitted to
order an umbrella by mail. why may
we not order husband or wife in the
same way. If the matrimonially in
clined are willing to pay for the as
sistance of an expert in finding their
affinity, why should the government
interfere to restrain or obstruct the
transaction? The search for an af-
finity prior to marriage would seem
to be infinitely more decorous and
praiseworthy than the search for the
same commodity after marriage. And
yet, because a professional affinity
seeker fails to find a wife for a Penn
sylvania widower or an unlovely Mis-
souri, bachelor she must be branded as
fraud and deprived the use of the
mails. tho she may be able to cite
hundreds of customers who have paid
their fee and have been too wise to

under well-regulated license. The con-
sequence will be that liquor will be dis
ing sold in accord With law Then, too,
the city will be deprived of a large
revenue which is so much needed for
the government of this community.
When a law is nagrantly and habit
ually violated it brings legislation into
contempt. 1t creates a spirit of de-
ception and hypocrisy and compels
men to do insidiously and by stealth
what they would otherwise do openly
ard above board.
All good men-good citizens-are In
favor of the virtue of temperance. and
I regret to see that the moral side of
the question has not been, sufficiently
considered. You cannot legislate men
by civil action into the performance of
good and righteous deeds.
If we are to improve the morality
of our city and make our citizens more
temperate. let the virtue of temper
ance be proclaimed in the churches.

family that parents. both by word and

perance and sobretN: and let them i'm

consequences of drunkenness.
However. it is reported from Wash
ington that the democratic leaders
have agreed to insert prohibitory
plank in their national platform to be
adopted at Denver and if il is done
ii will be the most noteworthy and im-
portant political event that has hap
pened in many years. The solid south.
which constitutes the sum and sub
stance of democracy. has gone dry of
its own volton. There the presence
of the irresponsible black race has
driven the country to prohibition first
by counties and then by states. If they
should take their movement into their
national convention and into their par

elect their ticket. there would be

that would make men sit up and take

and library building. Other clubs
have taken up the subject OF parks
and drives, the removal of unsightly
bill boards. the passage of anti-spit-
ting ordinances and such measures for
the benefit OF the public health. 1t is
unnecessary to enumerate these de-
partments of service to the commun-
ty, for they are generally known and
appreciated.
Perhaps there are other editors as
ignorant of the womans club work as
Mr.. Edward Box seems to be, but ii
so they have not called the attention
of the public to the fact in so con-
spicuous a manner. A proper move
for him would be to get acquainted
with this feature of the work of the
women of America, from whom his
$4,000 salary is annually collected by
the publishers of the Ladies' Home
journal.

Yet the leading editorial of the cur
rent issue of the Journal is a state
ment that the editor Is opposed to

is given by them to literature, history
and the like, and so little to practical
good works. AS an illustration of what

be novel one. that something on the

more worthy undertaking that the

Box, oracularly
1t is almost incomprehensible that
the editor of woman's magazine
should know so little about the work
of the woman's clubs of the land. VIII

particular forms of activity in which
the woman's clubs of America have
ACCOMPLISHED notable results. The man

CARDINAL GIBBONS ON PROHIBITION.

4 fierce campaign Is being Wage;t
just now in the state of Maryland to
induce the legislature to adopt liquor
law which will attempt to prohibit the
sale of intoxicants, even in the city OF
Baltimore and the press of that city
is full of the argument. Among the
many expressions of public men, per-
haps, the most noteworthy of all, con-
sidering the sentiment expressed and
the profession of the speaker, is that
of Cardinal Gibbons.

that local option should under no cir

Cardinal said:

BONDS OR no WATER.

(CdTTDll Herald.
Our city is up against the PROPOSE
ton of bond issue for the purpose of
repairing our water works. There is
no other alternative and the question
of bond issue for $4,000 will be sub
mitted to the voters at the regular city
election which will be held March 80
1t is of prime Importance to our citi-
zens that our water system be put in
as high a stage of proficiency as pos
sible and to do this it will require an
outlay Of about $4,000 Few cities are
as dependant upon water as Is this.
Our heating, lighting, sewers, house
hold use and fire protection are en-
tirely dependent upon the supply of
water secured from the water works
system. If it should fail one can easily
conceive of the condition our citizens
would be in without it.

MIR. WHITE is WHITE.
lAIaxMell Trihunel


Announcement of the candidacy of
George c. White. of Nevada, to succeed
himself as Representative of Story
county in the general assembly, is
made in this issue. Mr.. White is a
young man of ability and during his
one term i'm the lower house demon
strated his ability as a law maker and
made many friends by the perception
he displayed in grasping the jist of
any measure quickly and fighting for
the rights of his constituents. There
are but few men that secured the
prominence in one term that was ac-
corded Mr. White and his popularity
bids fair to land him in the speakers
chair, to which position he aspires.
He made an exceedingly satisfactory
officer as is demonstrated by the fact
that so far we have heard Of no OPP
position to his denomination.

IOWA PACKERS IN DANGER.
(Newton Record.)


A fight is in progress in which the
Corn Belt Meat Producers Associa-
ton takes one side and the packers OF
Iowa take the other The association
wants lower freight rates on live stock
to Chicago and the packers say that
If it is granted their business will be
ruined. We all want to see the farm
ers get the best possible rates and
yet we do not want anything done
which will injure our Iowa packers. 1t
is an industry which has been built up
under great difficulties and without
the least assistance from the state. and
it would be not only an injustice to
the owners but a serious blow to the
state to drive them out of the busi-
ness. The loss of the competition
would soon be felt by the people also.
