IOWA STILL THE BEST.
Forest City independent


There are signs here and there that
the exodus from Iowa in farming dis
tricts is waning. From various sec
tions of the state large numbers OF
farmers have been lurea to other
states and across the border by the
tales of cheap land and the magnifi-
cent crops that can be produced on
that land. BY and by some of these
people discovered what they might
have known long ere they left, that
there Is no other spot under the sun
that is so favorable to farmers and
farming as the Hawkeye state. Other
sections of the country may produce
{. bumper crop, now and then, but
Iowa never fails to produce good
crops. The farmers elsewhere may
make a lot of money one year and
lose lit the next. and eventually be
starved out The Iowa farmer who
understands farming is sure to get ON.
Every year will see little bit added
to what he's got and not such a very
little bit either. 1t requires consider
able effort and exertion in the wrong
direction, if a farmer in Iowa wants 10
keep from getting very prosperous,

THlE IOWA DELEGATION.
|Iowa City Republican,


The Cedar Rapids Republican is
troubled about the quality of the pres
emf DELEGATION to congress, or rather
the one that will represent the state
after the 4th of March. The only MEM
Der who will be dropped out and be
missed is Colonel Hepburn. and he IS
of an age when retirement would be
only a question of a few years Ger
tainly the Fifth district will not be the
loser by the retirement of Cousins ana
the succession of Mr. Good. The new
congressman is man of more natural
ability than Mr. Cousins, and he has
industry in the bargain After two or
three months laborious efforts, after
rehashing the Irish orators and the
earlier American patriots, Mr.. Cousins
is able to make an oratorical effort
which it is a pleasure to hear, but
called I'D. without special preparation,
Mr.. Good will double discount BOD
Cousins any day as a speaker. AS a
LAWYER, Mr. Good has proved his abl-
ity TO meet the best of them, while Mr..
Cousins never tried an important case

ids paper lis intended merely as an in
suit to the newly elected congressman
from its district and not as criticism
of the new delegation in general.

THE TRAIN DRuNkARD.
TTraer Star-Ciipper1.


We came down from Marshalltown
recently on an evening train and there
were no less than three fellows aboard
who were in a beastly state of intoxi-
cation. They were foul mouthed, dis
gustingly familiar and positively inde-
cent The company should have had
them prosecuted as it was the COM
panys business to keep their cars free
of Objectionable people. 1T is bad
enough to have drunken men or women
on the streets. 1t is worse to have
them on the crowded passenger trains.
-Tama News.
Amen Those of us who have spent
much time on passenger trains will
see the force of the above. II there
is any place this side of hell where a
drunken sot feels at liberty to make a
hog of himself it is in a smoking car.
The wonder is that trainmen will per-
nit such conduct. Time and again
Traer toughs, who have been up at
Reinbeck to fill up, disgrace them
selves and their home town while on
the train returning, in way that would
not be tolerated for moment on the
street. We see bill has been intro
duced in the Iowa legislature to punish
drunkenness and obscene language on
trains and giving conductors the power
of police officers. We hope it will

we may hope to encyst 1T. The condi-
| tion is incurable; our only hope is in
the inherent vitality of the nation to
prevent 1t from being fatal.
But no such hope remains If we re-
peat the blunder in the form which
now threatens. 1t was one thing to
deal with few hundred thousands
negroes 1t merely subjected out insti-
tutions to one strain which nearly dis
rupted them and, then obliterated them
from a quarter of our territory But it
| is quite another thing to deal With the
overflow of whole world of Chinese
Japanese, and Hindus, backed by pow
erful and jealous nations, which will
submit to no imputation of racial in
feriority. And it is still another thing
and a relatively easy one. to deal with
unlimited hordes of white immigrants.
equal or inferior, desirable or undesir-
able Their problem is at most political
and social. The other problem is bio
logical, Whatever any generation may
swallow, thru the New York mouth,
future generations will digest But
what comes in thru the San Francisco
mouth no American generation can
ever digest or eject. Only Asia can as
simulate oriental blood, and we must
either become Asiatic or refuse to try
to assimilate it.
Already we raise more fruit than we

both conditions. He exists somehow,

son of no work and he can do as much
work squatting as he can standing up.
That is the reason one Japanese, who
could hardly compete with one Sicilian
digging trenches, can pick more grapes
and thin more beets than any three
white men. The Chinese does not squat
so we'll, but he is quieter, keeps his
contracts better, and has fierce her
editary mania for work. Also. he is the
ideal hibernator and he is organized
so you can buy him by the dozen. with
out bothering about individual human
relations. The Hindu, SO far is worth
less. He has long legs and long back
and can not squat. He refuses to eat
enough of such food as he finds here
to keep in working condition. and he
shivers and dies in the rainy season in
stead of alternating. Nobody UNDER

scHooLHousEs AND SAT Gems.

When the Tennessee legislature
passed over the governors veto the law
making saloons illegal il located within
four miles of a school house it added
another vain regret that they had not
been good in time to the aecumlating
regrets of the liquor interests. The law
is virtual prohibition. If there is any
spot in Tennessee without school
house within the legal proximity some
one will be found to build it and in
a state which passes "a law like this
over all opposition and with pleasure
over veto there is certainly hard
time ahead for the saloon and the sa-
loonists. It is virtual prohibition. But
the assembly went on and passed a bill
to prohibit manufacture of Intoxicating
liquors in Tennessee after Jan. l.,
1910.
It will be interesting to keep watch
Of the situation in Tennessee as it de-
velops.. Mind you, not all nor most of
those who favored the law as voters
and legislators are practical and indi-
yidual prohibitionists. 1t is to be pre-
sumed that a majority take a drink"
But the groggeries and the cross roads
saloons, the multiplicity of drinking
places and the arrogance of the dis
filling and brewing interests has had
their. effect in Tennessee as they are in
other states. Joined to all this Tennes-
see has her negro problem and the
liquor problem finds quicker solution
where the negro is thickest. A drunken
man of any color is menace, a drunk
en- negro is a certainty of crime.
Will Tennessee have to show SIM
liar set of statistics to those being ex-
hibited by Georgia and which show a
so per cent decrease in arrests and Of
Jail population? Let US watch and find
out. If 1t works out that way in Geor-
gia and Tennessee and Mississippi and
Texas the figures can scarcely be acci-
dental.

Lone Star state is actually trying to

a private concern.
There has, it is true, been consider
able radical legislation in Texas, some
of which was a mistaken effort tow ard

a pEsscRA1lon OF LINCOLN.

The American ham may not go

the American flag, for we have classed
this manner of advertising as desc
Grafton of the star spangied banner
We make considerable fuss when some
enterprising firm of chemists attempts
to paint pill advertisement across
the face of peak in Yosemite or
spread the merits of baby food
abroad by mailing signs to the Big
Trees. And the strongest protest comes
from the magazines of higher class.
Their cutlery is loudest.
Nevertheless these magazines are
now displaying extremely poor taste
and shocking the sensibilities of the
American people, by the same method
which the pork packer and the man-
ufacturing chemist desires to employ,
when they permit the portrait of Lin
coin to be made the center of man

tennial interest of the greatest Ameri-
can to be twisted into sordid channels.
If America has one great and notable
figure that should be sacred, 1t is that
of Lincoln. He means more than the
rocks, the big trees and the geysers.
He and his history are sacred as the
the flag that we refuse the advertise
ing meat manufacturer. Why permit
any producer to hitch the fame Of
Lincoln to a cart that he may more
quickly drag his product to market?
I 1t should not be necessary to forbid
by law the desecra ton of great men
and great places by the commercially

drive bill posters away from the
Bartholdi statue and the Washington
monument; and it should be still less
necessary to enact laws to protect the
memory Of our great ones gone for

appears that it should be done.
