Which derive their name from
the construction of the lid. which
Is so arranged that the trunk may
be placed close against the wall,
while the lid can be raised with
out danger OF falling. All have ex-
ira skirt trays, $7.25, $s.25, $685..

A DEFINITION BY JUDGE pEEMER.

In addressing the legislative commit
tees on educational institutions last
Saturday Judge II. E. Deener, of Red
Oak. unconsciously afforded a pretty
complete definition of "standpatter.'
The Judge was offering objections to
the Seeley- Newberry bill which pro-
vides that the Cedar Falls and Ames
state schools shall begin at once to
prepare teachers to give instruction in
practical agriculture and domestic
economy. His objection is that should
the teachers of Iowa be given instruc-
ton in these courses they would give
I'D their Iowa positions in order to go
to Texas and Georgia, where thousands
of Instructors in these lines are wanted
in the public schools and a bigger sal
arv scale is in effect than in Iowa.
This objection is typically standpat
in its argument, If there is any argu-
ment In 1t. It would apply to the MAX
ing Of lawyers at the state university
and the teaching Of engineers at Ames
quite as we'll as to the teachers turned
out at Cedar Falls. 1t is very likely
that lawyers and doctors and profess
ional people of all classes will seek the
highest levels of remuneration. Per-
hans were we to eliminate some i'm
portant part of the legal and medical

INDEPENDENT WOMEN.
Hardin County citizen.l


There is something about the "1nda-
pendent" woman that men do not adj
mire and husbands bear by sufferance.
If independent carried with it the
meaning of love, patience, and self
reliance, there could be no criticism
offered Every girl should be so trained
that she is capable of earning her own
way thru life, independent of mar
riage, and when such self-reliance is
mingled with love and patience, 1T
makes triumvirate of beautiful and
irresistible virtues.
But somehow the independent Wo-
man is to men clothed in a different
garb. Within her love means fight,
patience impatience, and self-rellanGe
fault finding. The laws are not made
to suit her and the ballot she wants at
once to remedy such evils as may to
her be discernible. There is something
wrong with her husbands makeup and
pocketbook. She is a slave in her own
house She is long on destruction but
short on creation. She grumbles and
finds fault. The men are all brutes and
the women do not know their rights.
The world is sadly in need of regenera-
ton.
The independent" woman is suffer-
ing with acute selfshness and self-sac-
rifice is to her terrible burden. She IS
quick to enlarge on her own grievances
but slow to perceive the pains of 9th
ers. She is determined and headstrong.
The sooner the husband changes wear
ing apparel with her the sooner there
will be peace in the home.
This is somewhat as men see the I'm
dependent woman She may be
species rare but not entirely unknown.
1T is wrong and useless for men 70
find fault with women in general or for
women to condemn man. We are &ll,
in a way, brothers and sisters, born of
the same parents and reared in the
same homes, and whaled with the same
stick. Generally speaking the brother
will not be much better or worse than
his sister or the sister much worse or
better than her brother. Generally
speaking, the man protects his mother
his wife, his child, and the wives and
mothers and children of others. There
are brutes at large and laws to punish
them and if the laws are bad there are
methods of correcting them independ-
ent of the independent woman.

courses at Iowa City we might be able
to keep all our lawyers and physicians
I'm the state. No doubt were we to in
sist that no teacher trained by the state
should be carried beyond vulgar lrae-
lions i'm mathematical training or past
the fourth reader in English the prob
lem of a supply of teachers would have
been solved for all time and Iowa
wouldn't be able to get rid of its edu-
cational army.
The teaching of practical agriculture
and domestic economy, especially that
of agriculture in the rural schools Is so
plainly a need of the time and OF the
schools that it is hard to understand
why any should object, unless IKE
Judge Deemer. they have the establish
ment of an agricultural college and
state normal or so at locations close
to their own residence towns
in mind. The argument made
by Judge Dcemer is beneath
the subject and below the stand
ard of that keen and eloquent jurist.
When Judge Deemer can find nothing
stronger to offer as Objectionable In the
bill, except that it would help to make
our teachers so efficient that other
states would bid for them and we
might possibly have to pay what they
are worth to keep them, the proposed
law has received high encomium.
The objection is overruled. Proceed
with the enactment of the bill.
