rHE MAYS OF REFORM.

The ways of the professional re-
former are a bit devious at times.
The case of Senator La Toilette OF
Wisconsin is an instance in point.
The Creston Advertiser thus briefly
states the facts involved:

money freely to help elect La foiieIte

A bill has been introduced in
the Texas legislature for a grad
uated tax on bachelors of from
s25.oO to $1,000, according to age;
double tax unless each eligible
bachelor makes affidavit that he pro-
posed to at least one woman during
the year. A somewhat similar meas
ure introduced in the Wisconsin leg
islature calls for the organization OF
a state bureau to find wives for bache-
lors who wish to avoid the tax. 1t
will be noted from this that proposals
to enact freak" legislation are not
confined to one state or any particular
latitude.

How TO Land a Husband.

Atchison Globe: An Atchison fam
lily of three girls, all of them equally
attractive, had curiosity to know the
best method of landing husband, and
agreed to make an experiment. One
of them learned to cook, and was
domestic sort of girl. Another learned
shorthand and got a position in a
downtown office. The third devoted
all her attention to society. If we
were writing story, we would marry
off the girl who could cook within
three months; but, alas. the facts are
different. The society girl has landed
wealthy man, the stenographer has
another nibbling, but the real heroine

THE NEW SCHOOL LAW

Two more strong Iowa papers have
come out in opposition to the pro
posed new school law The Waterloo
Reporter notes that the bill is not
meeting with much favor over the
state. saying in this connection:
"The school officers association OF
Blackhawk county at its meeting IN
Waterloo last week went on record as
opposed to the revolutionary changes
pronosed by the law, and from the re
ports heard from other portions of tbs
state the people are becoming aroused
over the contemplated change. If the
effect of the measure was more widely
studied the prospect is it would no
muster a very strong support in tht
| Legislature"
The Reporter quotes with approva

the subject The Waterloo Courie
agrees that the wisdom of the new Law
is open to grave question 1t aim

SALE NOTES DISAPPEARING.

A Few days ago the Kewanee Qll.)
Star-Cour1er reprinted from The Gate
City an article reporting the disap-
pearance of the farm sale notes that
We're SO common in this state ten
years ago and before that time. Since
giving the matter publicity the Star
Courier has been making inquiries
locally and finds the same conditions
there regarding this kind of paper as
In Iowa. A local auctioneer is quoted
to the following effect:
Conversation with Mr.. Lester, who
as auctioneer is in attendance at near
ly all the sales in this vicinity, and
therefore familiar with the facts
brings out the information, that more
than half of the business at the farm
sales held here is on cash basis. Not
many years ago practically all of the
business was through notes, which
were later sold to the banks. The
change is due to easier financial condi-
tons among the farmers, who are the
principal BUYERS at these sales. They
have the cash and they are ready to
take advantage of the five per cent
discount allowed"
The Star-Courier adds as a note
worthy fact that very few of the farm
sale notes that have been given in that
vicinity have proved worthless. One
Kewanee banker, who has handled
thousands of dollars worth of these
notes, recently made the statement
that he had not lost a penny through
the failure of the giver of such a note
to meet the obligation.

meeting told their hearers that ST

power transmitted by overhead cables

that the same power will be sold
cheaper here than in ST. Louis, with
corresponding advantage to local fac
tories. The power that boosts st
Louis will be still more potent IN

1t is said that if the Peterson en-
ployers' liability bill now before the
state senate is adopted by the legis-
lature Iowa will have stronger, more
far-reaching law on this important
subject than the famous measure re-
Gently enacted by congress. The bill
provides that in case of the death or
injury of an employe through negli-
gence of the employing company the
company is to re held liable for dam
ages. even though it may be shown
that the employe was guilty of con-
tributory negligence. The amount
that may be recovered, however, shall
be governed by the degree to which
the employe was guilty of contribu'
tory negligence.

The prairies to the mountains call,
The mountains to the sea;
From shore to shore a nation keeps
Her martyrs memory.
Though lowly born the seal Of God
Was in that rugged face;
Still from the humble Nazareths
come
The saviors of the race.
With patient heart and vision clear
He wrought through trying days
Malice toward none, with love for
ALL"
Unswerved by blame or praise.
And when the morn of Peace broke
through
The battles cloud and din,
He hailed with joy the promised

He might not enter in.
