THE MECHANICS SERMON.

There was a whole encyclopedia of

plant made by d contracting mechanic

of building in sight and in progress he
hind on his contracts and must refuse
much that Will De offered him and was
sorry that he had let one workman
"get away from him" He wasn't
much good the contractor admitted,
"but he did pretty we'll when I was
with him Then he continued, "I find
1t difficult to split up my gang. have
one man who Is perfectly trustworthy
and a. good workman when am with
him but alone he doesn't know any
thing. Perhaps if he did he would be
working for himself and not for me-
The meat of the sermon is in the
last sentence. II he knew anything ne
would be doing what the contractor
is doing, taking jobs for himself, Civ
ing the employer his moneys worth

orders away. That is the conclusion of
the man who hires him and makes a
profit on his labor by assuming re-

WHY THE SENATE KEPT JOHN cowNE

With all the charges of factionallsnl
Jones which has developed from the
senate's refusal to confirm the govern
or's appointment 10 the board OF con-
troll of the two latter named gentle
men no word has been said against
John Cownie This in itself affords a
very good reason for his retention for
an official who can serve as long and
actively as Mr.. Cownie has done with
out affording opportunity for cavil is
the right sort 10 keep. The fact is that
there was no factionalisln in the sem
ates action but simply general un-
Outstanding and acceptance of the fact
that Cownie is the best man in the
state for the place and that Iowa can
not afford TO let him go.
Cownie represents the best of the
better class of Iowa farmers, econom-
zeal with reason and liberahty, shrewd
without thickness, and a business man
as we'll as one deeply interested in the
unfortunate persons sheltered by the
state institutions. He is simply honest.
He has been tried over and over again.
No firm that deals with the state of
Iowa would think of offering John
Cownie a rake-off or a percentage on
che business it secures thru his Office.
These are some of the reasons why the
senate refused 10 part with him.
The state needs Cownie as buyer
and watchdog over its interests. He is
always in his office between eight
o'clock and six when he is not
of the city looking after the
various institutions He buys
supplies as a merchant purchases
stock, as shrewdly and as carefully. An
instance related by salesman who
sells a protective apparatus illustrated
the point. He sold the board OF con-
troll and he sold the same apparatus 70,
use at q. state educational institution
..When / call on the one board am told
TO come again. I come to find they have
adjourned AT last l sci! them. When
sell the board of control l find some
one ready TO talk to me, the price is
cut 10 the lowest limit can stand and
if there is a future order it is always
given at the same or a lower price. It's
business proposition. And that is the
reason that the board of control buys
apparatus IS a piece cheaper than the
educational institution. 1t costs less tc
sell them. and the price must be right
That IS another reason why the senate
kept John Cownie.
The senators nearly all oe them know
personally about all these things. Tha.
was why democrats and republicans
standpaeters and progressive Gas wer:
once the terms in common use) com
bined to keep John Cownie. Summed W
it was neither political parttsanshiI
nor factionalisn but just common
sense.
The senate exercised the plain hors
sense that most corn-fed Iowans ar
gifted with. That Is the main reason
why i kept John Cownie.

WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE.
rEinuy Nity, Trihnna1


Why can't the doctors get together?
Here they have been telling US that we
must be regular in good habits If we
would be healthy, but no sooner do
we begin to become convinced than an
authority arises to declare that it Is
ridiculous to say that health depends
upon regular habits. He further de-
clares that any man should be able to
go without sleep for twenty-four hours
and do good work next day. City boys,
according to his theory, are better able
to endure the hardships of military life
than country boys, because the latter,
having been used to regular habits of
living, adapt themselves with difficulty
to the demands made upon them. We
imagine that several large holes can
be punched in this authority's theory.

Destroying Legitimate Industry.

Is il fair question 10 ask whether
the people Of the country shall be pre-
vented from buying good, wholesome
food product, sold under its own name
and for what it is worth, without hav-
ing it taxed SO as 10 put it beyond the
reach of those who desire to use it? S,
much has been written about butter
inc that an impression has been Gre
ated that all substitutes for butter are
made in such a manner as to be I'M.
wholesome There may be unwhols
some butterines, just as there
are unwholesome buffers. Everything
depends on the cleanliness with which
the products are made. Under exist
ing restrictions, butterine is in many
instances superior from the standpoint
Of wholesomeness, to the cheap buffers
that are put upon the market. The
manufacturers of butterine are per-
fectly willing to label their product fer
what it is and to sell it as such. 1t can
be sold much cheaper than butter. ard
! for all practical uses it furnishes a
very acceptable and economical subst,-
tute. Made as it is. from beef suet,
cream and dairy butter, 1T is hard to
distinguish the difference between but
! -
! Yet the government. with all it's needs
of an increased revenue TO meet d
growing deficit, is trying to tax butter
inc out of sight, and to kill revenue
producing and entirely legitimate in
dustry, and leave it to be monopolized
by foreigners.
But for an unjust tax Of 10 cents a
pound on butterine, the government
would nave collected millions in reve-
nue. from growing industry, giving
employment to many men, and the peo-
pie would be able to purchase at rea-
sonable price a wholesome and pala-
table substitute for butter. In order
that makers of butter might be pro
tected," the government has been de-
rrived of it's revenues and the people
forced to pay tribute. The time has ar.
rived when the people, thru their rep.
resentatives in congress, should pro
tect themselves against a glazing piece
Of class legislation, inexcusable, un.
American. and which Is depicting The
national treasury. In 1902 the congress,
of the United States passed the So
called 'Grout law" which provided fol
tax of one-quarter cent per pound or
uncolored butterine, and 10 cents PEI
a pound on butterins containing color.

NOW FOR ENFORCEMENT.
Waterloo Courier.

L W
Iowa is about to enter upon . new
era of strict law enforcement. State-
wide prohibition has failed but moro
mulct laws have been passed and,
most important of all, the Cosson bills
for law enforcement will make the
liquor as we'll as other laws effective.
Upon the conduct Of the officials of
the law and the behavior OF the liquor
traders depends the life OF license at
the end of the two years ahead Of us.
The anti-liquor forces have shown
themselves to be possessed Of dam
gerous set Of fangs. Only a polite de-
meanor will prevent the killing Of the
liquor business.
Whether or not law enforcement will
prolong the life Of the liquor business
in the state the Cosson laws are bound
to lead the way to more ideal com.
