The Tribune has received a mark
ed copy OF the Keokuk County News,
published, at sigourney, Iowa. The
editor Of that paper, Mr.. E. W. Need
ham; is running a series of articles
ON "Keokuk County Boys Who Have
Made Good" and 1t seems that Gov.
Burke of North Dakota is one OF EN-.
Mr.. Needham writes very graphically
of our Democratic governor, and
among other things, says:
"Of all the sons who have gone
out into the world from the borders
of old Keokuk county, none fills a
larger or more useful sphere than
John Burke, governor of North Dako'
ia. BY his own honest and valiant
struggle, he has placed his name
highest in the ranks of the boys who
have made good Keokuk county
claims him as her own and gladly
lends him her sister state for the
great and meritorious work he is daily
accomplishing against odds that few
men could overcome.
But since he has struggled into
renown another county and state
claim him. 1t was ever thus. But we
voice our spirit of protest and claim
him for old Keokuk. Under recent
date the Enquirer of Cincinnati, O.,
devoted three columns of space to
John Burke, claiming for his birth
place, the small town of Milville, six
miles from Hamilton, Ohio. It was
there that he was born about fifty
years ago. His father died when
John was quite young man, leaving
the widow with two boys. The little
family were hard pressed for funds to
maintain the household And this
worthy paper, which happens to be
on the wrong track this time, con-
tinues with the story of how John
Burke worked at the trade of cigar
maker, finally going to Hamilton, and
from thence to Cincinnati, where he
became auditor of the Nickle Plate
road. firing of this, he took his
mother and went to the state of Ar
kansas, and then moved into North
Dakota, where he finally reached the
high station to which we are all IA
miliar. They weave romantic story

u Orison SWEET Marden, In Success
Magazine: Il. Many parents who
think they love their children are in
reality their greatest enemies. They
bring out the worst that Is in them
because they appeal g the worst,
They appeal to all that Il frail. weak,
timid and ENJOYABLE in their nature,
by catering to their selfishness, in
dulging every whim-no matter how
reasonable or vicious ,by doing every.
thing for them instead of allowing
them to do things for themselves and
thus strengthen their fa.ulty and
power of self-reliance.
They are allowed to stay at home
from school when they play" sick,
as SO many children do, and are pet
ted and coddled and fused over when
there is really nothing the matter
with them. II they fall or hurt them
selves they are sympathized with
and encouraged to cry, BY Expressions
of pity, instead of being taught. to
bear a little pain or hurt bravely
and manfully and not whimper like a
weakling. . @.; M
In a hundred such ways weak. fool
ish parents cultivate the selfishness
Of their children, until they become
unbearable; they destroy their cour-
age and self reliance; make towards
and weaklings of them and pave the
way for their destruction.
Many men and women have lived
to curse in bitterness OF heart the
weak, criminal Indulgence of over
fond parents, who were the prime
cause of their ruin. 4s
Do not do for your children what
they ought to do, for themselves, but
help them to help themselves. Do
not allow them to trample on the
rights of others in order to crafty
their own selfish desires. Show them
the beauty of the Golden HUE, and
insist upon their practicing It in their
games, with their playmates and with
older people. Teach them to respect
the rights of others; and don't forget
that they also have rights which
should be respected.

The worset exhibition of narrow minded
selfishness. inordinate lust for money,
vicious ana contemplate statesmanship, is
now being given in Congress- by the men to
whom has been delegated the duty OF franz
ing and passing a new tariff bill. During
the hearings that the committee has held
there has been more bare-faced lying by
parties directly interested than ever before
during similar time. Lies have been brok-
en- up into bits and these particles magni-
fled and made to serve specious argu-.
ments to bolster up the selfish demands of
arrogant, and powerful what might truly
be called ill-gotten gains.

now needs tariff on raw material; on the
contrary. such tax only servee to retard
the advancement and activity of the smaller
materials they feQure. Without regard to
the needs OF the country to individuals

cal pledge OF party; in fact. both parties

these have neither right. logic, justice, nor
ordinary fairness their side, Free raw

The old time "tear-'em-up" aggres-
siveness of the Governor is lacking In
his message to the extra session Of
the Legislature. Before each message
has been an attack-the last is de-
fensa.
The Governor like Bottom. can roar
frightfuiiy as q lion. or he can coo as
gently as anv dove. There Is more
cooling than roaring I'm the message.
Sure enough there Is a deficit. Is It
possibie7 Why statements that the big
Jelks surplus had been exhausted. by
big appropriations and increased SAL
aries were brushed aside with the as
sertion that venal newspapers. only
printed that to embarrass the Govern
or But the Governor admits that the
bottom has been reached. He says
that he will in December do the
usual thing" in such situations and
penses of the State. The Governor
does not give the Legislature q state
ment of the financial condition of the
treasury, and the Legislature does not
know whether or not the big special
funds are now being used to run the
State. The Governor in his call for
the extra session asked for law
which would combine all special funds
and use them to meet general demands.
The Legislature is not told whether
all general funds are now exhausted
and whether the State 10 now running
on the special funds.
That the Governor considers the de-
ficit an unfortunate fact Is shown by
his general defense of It. The con-
sideration Of the causes Of the deficit
will come UP later.
Notwithstanding the deficit more
money is needed for the attorneys of
the Governor. which Is not surprising.
Alabama Is involved in costly litiga-
ton and 1t will be q long time before
ths State Is out OF 1t. It 10 wrong to
say that all Alabama has suffered from
agitation: some people have pronted
by II.
The Governor strikes his true gait
when he gets on the railroad issue.
He recommends no new legislation.
but he seems to be pleased with what
the Conner administration has done. An
old tale again told is the part of the
message which deals with the rail-
road question
The Governor. II would seem. was
pushed to defense of his famous
change OF heart from local option to
prohibition. Being late In the cause
which seems so popular, he shows that
he is going to have as much zeai az
any Of them. Enlisted with the consti-
tutionai prohibitionists he draws at
tentiou to the fact that he is carrying
the banner and leading the night. Two
years ago the Governor and his asso-
ciate rrohibitionists raised their voices
in thanksgiving that whiskey had been
banished from Alabama. Now strange
to say, tbs more dangerous than It
ever was and prohibition seems
better political issue than It ever was.
The Governors fierce lecture on the
evils OF Incorporate whiskey drinking
may well be endorsed But II could be
as well delivered In the interest of
temperance as under the brand of pro-
hibition.
The present State administration is
recommended highly In the message.

The question of constitutional prohi-
bitfon Is merely leaving to a vote of
the people the endorsement of our
State law, and 1t cannot go into our
constitution except a majority so de-
clare. Surely none should object to
this proposition. The temperance peo-
pie are willing to risk the decision of
the voters Of Alabama. Let the liquor
interests and the papers fighting pro-
hibition submit their case to the same
court and see whether their claim that
the prohibition wave has receded Is
justified bv facts.
This clipping from The Alabama
Christian Advocate was sent The Ad-
vertiser by friend who requested its
publication but asked that his name
be not used. The paragraph is note
worthy. more for its zeal than its wis
dom. The same arguments for an APP
peal to the people were advanced at
the first Legislature for local option
when 1t was strongly urged by the An
ti-Saioon League. The Legislature
passed the bill exactly as the Anti
Saloon League wanted it passed. The
Anti-Saloon League ten months later
at an extra session of the Legisla-
ture demanded a Statewide statutory
prohibition bill. saying in effect that
local option. which 1t had advocated
at the first session. was a mistake and
that the old doctrine of permitting the
people in the affected communities to
vote on 1t was wrong and the people
should have no such right.
The Statewide statutory prohibition
bill was put into the law by the Legis-
lature. The Anti-Saloon League.
which dictated all prohibition legisla-
ton, never once offered to give the
people chance to vote on the meas
ure. In the light of the record of pro-
hibitiou legislation 1t is safe to pre-

from them when it appeared that some
counties in Alabama would not vote
