Won't you come and fly with me7

Ways through stars to be unraVeIedi

Up and up and up-away!
Leave the hills and clear the mountain,
Dripping with the showery spray

Where poor mortals fret and ponder
Seem as distant as the star
Twinkling in the heavens yonder.

MORE WOMEN in CHURCHES.

Advance reports of a census bulle-
tin containing data of the fifth cen
sus Of religious bodies in the United
States show total investment In
church property in 1906 of more than
100000 and total membership
of 33.o00,O0O, of which considerably
more than one-half are women. Out
OF this total it is estimated that SIS
per cent are Protestants and 1851 per
cent are Roman Catholics. Among the
Protestant churches females were IN
greater numerical proportion, there
being only 1913 per cent OF males,
while in the Catholic churches the pro-
portion Of males was 49.3 per cent.
OF all churches the percentage of fe-
males was $50. The total member
ship Of all churches was 39.1 per cent
of the total population, as compared
with 1927 per cent in 1890. The num-
Der of Professionals was given as TO-
2S7,742, and of Catholics 12,079,142.

the Republican party has done its best
in good faith to revise the tariff
downward, and that its best is good
enough FOR practical purposes.
1t Will be noted that the Presidents
defense of the tariff bill is In direct
conflict with claims that the general
effect of the revision is to increase the
cost of important necessaries. Those
who have been advancing that propo-
sition since the Presidents statement
was made public knew they were do
ing so in direct contradiction to the
view of the President. If embarrass-
ment shall come to them as a result OF
what the President says in the west
they will have to take the responsible
ity on their own shoulders. At no
time has the President given any
ground for misapprehension of his
attitude toward the completed tariff
bill.

office. In 1889 there were but seventy.
five post offices in the entire United
States and the volume of business

935-about half the annual revenue Of
the Keokuk postoffice-at an expense
of s32,140. Franklin, however. was
able to point with pride to surplus.

PRESIDENT TAFT.

A fine appreciation OF President
Taft and his policies was uttered by
Judge E. H. Gary in recent inter-
view in a London newspaper. Among
other things he said:
II do not believe we can have bet
ter equipped President than we have
now, nor one more ably seconded in
his cabinet Mr. Taft has judicial
mind that meets with the country's
present needs. Mr.. Roosevelt sound
ed a much needed warning and did
well in awakening the public con-
science as he did. Now the spirit Of
fair dealing, and the far-seeing policy
Of doing the right thing, rather than
trying to be always doing the public,
which is animating our business men
everywhere, will be found and ably de-
veloped by Mr.. Taft and his col
leagues. We had to come to it sooner
or later, and from now on l believe
We shall see continuous cultivation
OF broader and better business spir-
1T than we have ever known before. .
There is no question that Judge
Gary has the correct idea of President
Taft's intentions, and that he has not
overestimated his powers for useful
ness in the advancement of an era OF
prosperity and fair-dealing. President
Taft, in his own way and time, is as
essential as was his predecessor in
the presidential Office and will nc
doubt be equally successful. The one
is complement to the other and both
are entitled to public appreciation.

INTEREST IN WATERWAYS.

Since the tariff has been settled a
tremendous quickening of interest in
national needs is apparent. Already
there are noticeable changes going on
throughout the country on the subject
OF improving the inland waters. The
statements of Hartman, Yoakum and
Hill of railroad connections, that the
railroads cannot transport more than
six-tenths of the commerce OF the
country at the time 1t should be car
ried, has emphasized the needs for a
broad and comprehensive waterway,
policy on the part of the government.
to the end that the great natura' and
national thoroughfares may be made
to take their share of transporting.
A much greater interest Is being
shown by senators and representa-
tives in congress than ever before in
this subject. Many o. the leaders in
both houses favor bond issue Of
large size to carry on the work of i'm
proving the inland waters and canals
of the United States They point to
the fact that as New York state has
voted s101,0oo,o0o in bonds to deepen
Erie canal, and Illinois has voted in
favor of bond issue of s2O,0oO, 900 to
aid the Lakes to the Gulf Deep Water
way the government should take a
hand New York and Illinois have
done the part they say, towards Gre
ating efficient waterways within their
boundaries connecting our interior
lakes with the sea, and the time has
arrived for the government to issue
bonds for carrying on the great work
of river improvement and canal build
ing, upon which the future prosperity
Of the country rests.

Death Of M. A. Kirkpatrick

Burlington Saturday Evening Post:
Mr.. M. A. Kirkpatrick of the Salem
News passed away on August 81, after
an illness of seven weeks. On July
5, 1909, Mr.. Kirkpatrick, then in his
eightieth year. had a bad fall. which
resulted in broken hip. From this
injury he never recovered. An old
stomach trouble appeared to compli-
cate his case, and death came as a
relief to sufferings which, while borne
with fortitude and patience, were Of
so acute a nature as to rob death or
Its terrors. Mr.. Kirkpatrick will be re-
called by our readers as the very kind
ly old gentleman who was for some
years publisher of the Danville News.
Associated with him at Danville was
his son, who went with him to Salem
ten years ago, and now succeeds to
the ownership and editorship of the
News of that village. The Kirkpat-
ricks were quite successful in Dan
vile, where they built up fine bust
ness and prospered. They gave the
people of Danville good weekly
newspaper and enjoyed the conf
ence and affection of the best citi.
zens there as we'll as of the business
men of Burlington. Seeing the op.
portunity to enlarge their field, they
sold the Danville paper about ten
years ago to Simeon Beardsley and
purchased the News at Salem, paper
that had been owned and edited by
Judge w. S. Withrow. In Salem they
built UP their business by the same
honorable methods and by the same
diligence they had employed at Dan
Vile. They were eminently success
full in the weekly newspaper field, and
their paper has been and is Influential
and prosperous. Mr.. Kirkpatrick was
a methodical and intelligent worker
during all of his long life. He was
a man of fine personal character, ant
association with. him was both pleas
ure and instruction to earnest and
sober men. He goes to his long home
4 beloved by many friends who received
much inspiration from hi~ kind heart
his expansive mind and his noble
character.

Cedar Rapids Republican: The
Iowa newspapers seem to have taken
the advice of the Belle PLANE Union,
to drop the tariff. There are so many
other things in Iowa to discuss, SO
many other things that ought to be
done. We have a state that is filed
with opportunities for young men and
for all men. We have factories to
build and to operate and improved
roads to make. We ought to be pre-
pairing this state for the home Of three
millions Of people, instead OF for a
paltry two millions and little more.
II during the next ten years we will

The Cedar Rapids Republican won
ders why they do not hate Speaker
Cannon at Danville, where he lives,
and in the congressional district he
has represented for a quarter of a
century. "He seems to be a prophet
who is without honor away from
home" continues the Republican, "but
with plenty of it among his own peo-
ple.' The fact Of the matter is that
the people of his congressional dis
trict know him better than he Is
known away from home. and appreci-
ate him as he deserves. AS long as
he is continued in congress by those
who know him best the people of this
country have no occasion for with
holding their confidence.

New Fish In pes Moines River.

Des Moines correspondence Mar
shalltown mes-Republican: T. Van
Hyning has discovered two new
species of fish In tae Des Moines river.
They are fish that have never hereto
fore been seen in the waters of Iowa
rivers. They are Lake Michigan fish
and the only way in which he can &C.
count for their being In the Des Moines
river Where they were caught by fish
ermen, is that they escaped down the
Illinois river through the Chicago
river which was dredged out so that 1t
ran backward and drained the lake
into the Illinois river.
The fact that these lake fish are
coming down into the rivers which
never knew them before is raising a
large question with fishermen as to
what it will eventually amount to. Will
the Lake Michigan fish drive out the
native fish or will the rivers and
streams of Iowa and other states be
thus replenished with a good fish so
that the fishermen will have new
paradise in which to live-and fish?
The two kinds thus far discovered
are not good for food. One is the APP
lodinotus grunniens rafinesque COM
monty known as the fresh-water drum
or tiunder pumper. The other Is the
hiodentergisus lie seuer, commonly
known as moon-eye or toothed herring.
The specimen received Of the first was
four FOUNDER but they reach as high
as fifty and sixty pounds. The other
is about twelve inches long. The moon
eye is pretty fish with shining sill
very scales and blood red fins and tail
with marginal white.
Since neither of these fish are of any
account for food and will merely eat
the food Of the other fish and possibly
eat the otner fish as well fishermen
can see no particular good to be had
from the Lake Michigan fish thus far.
The two specimens are common in the
rivers that drain into the Great Lakes
but are uncommon to the Mississippi
valley,
