If the Laird of Skibo, otherwise
Andrew Carnegie, is anything of a
prophet, Philander C. Knox will some
day be President of the United States.
When the new secretary of state
took charge of his department, Mr..
Carnegie hurried to Washington to
congratulate him and the Pittsburg
steel maker is said to have addressed
his protege and former attorney as
follows: You're good boy, Phil,
and l always said there was no
telling where you would land. l knew
you would go far and I'm sure you're
not at the end of the road yet. Mark
my word, you'll be President yet
you'll be President yet"

The Sioux City Journal suggests
that it should be comfort to con-
gressmen who have lost their stand
in" with the President and the speak

not help them to accomplish results
for their constituents. They have
bartered their Inheritance for a mess

When Gypsy" Smith was in st.
Louis holding his revival meetings
there he inaugurated a movement for
abolition Of church choirs. Comes
now the Globe-D Democrat and enters
protest on the ground that there
may be choirs which offer promis-
ing brand to be saved from burning.
Why send missionaries away to for
eign lands when there is church
choir much nearer to be led to saliva
ton? The. CD. argues that if these
choirs are to be driven out and CON
gregations are to do their own sing
ing one chance to further extend d.
vine grace will be lost. AS gentle
slam" at the worldliness of the aver
age church choir the Globe-Democrat' s
protest is entitled to high rank.

Governor Carroll is being generally
commended for demanding the resig-
nations of members of the pharmacy
commission who have been drawing
per diem from the state treasury to
which they were not entitled. The
praise is deserved and it is to be
hoped the governor viii make the
same demand of all officials who have
been guilty of like practice. A thor
ough housekeeping in the state of
fees at Des Moines would doubtless
save the people of Iowa a handsome
sum annually.

THE MUSIC THAT CARRIES.


I've toiled with the men the world has
blessed,
And I've toiled VITA the men who
failed;
I've toiled with the men who strove
with zest,
walled.
And this is the tale my soul would tell,
AS it drifts DER the harbor bar:
The sounds of sigh don't carry well,
But the Tilt of laugh rings far.
The men who were near the grum-
bler's side;
Oh, they heard not word he said;
The sound of song swept far and
wide,
And they hearkeneG to that instead.
It's tones were sweet as the tales they
tell
OF the rise of the Christmas star
The sounds of sigh don't carry well,
But the Tilt of laugh rings far.
If you would be heard at all, my lad,
Keep laugh in your heart and
throat;
For those who are deaf to accents sad
Are alert to the cheerful note.
Keep hold on the cord of daughters
bell,
Keep aloof from the means that
mar;
The sound of a sigh don't carry well
But the lit of laugh rings far

Iowa and Weeds,

DR.. L. H. Pammell is quoted by the
Des Moines Register and Leader as
saying:
Cleaner farms in Iowa should be
the watchword for the next decade
Iowa with its fertile soil does not pro.
duce what 1t can and should If all
the farmers of Iowa would make
united effort to remove tie noxious
weeds, we would be richer by $1,000
900 a year at present prices of corn.
1T takes just as much labor to put the
seed in and a little more labor to keep
the fields clean, but the corn harvest
can be increased from five to ten bush
lels per acre. No matter how good the
quality of the seed, If me crop is not
taken care of properly the harvestcan
not be great What we need in Iowa
is cleaning up of the weeds, not in
few places, but everywhere"
