the DANGER THE "ou1B leak"

AS a people we are prone to look to
results and mark up records by ac-
complishment We excuse much in the
man who does things.
Take the late emeute Of the house
and senate leaders against the presi-
dent as an example There is not the
least doubt that Roosevelt stepped
recklessly on individual and official
oorns in his investigation of the land
frauds; but he has the people behind
him enthusiastically and they are glad
he trod carelessly and without respect
to particular corns. Men do not watch
their footsteps while running to fire
or in an attempt to head off thieves.
So the land thieves were coralled or
frightened from their loot. Senator
Tillman found anything but sympathy
when he exhibited his sore toe. 1t de-
veloped that it was not the result OF
being stepped on, but of having been
in trap. When, Congressman Smith,
one of the strongly intrenched con-
gressmen of this state, broke out in
complaint and criticism, the resentful
voice of his district warned him to be
still. 1t is yet to he determined whether
or not he Quoted down in time. As a
people we like the man who goes after
things and gets them. And we like
Roosevelt because he goes after the
right things like two-headed terrier
after rats, and gets them.
Things are doing. Thirty-fve suits
are now filed against more than 100
railroads and other corporations to re-
cover lands sold by them to spectators
and timber companies when the lands
were granted to be sold to actual set
tiers at $3.50 an acre. Three hundred
and fifty thousand acres are involved
in the SUITS And back of these suits
are the suits to cancel the patents Of
all the crooked companies and recover
the lands remaining.
In the light of results the cutlery Of
congress is certain to make more
friends for the strenuous president who
carries on the chief executiveship in a
way that the plainest citizen under
stands. It is, however, not unlikely
to force few republican districts to
nominate new men for congress or suf-
fer defeat That is the serious danger
arising from the symposium of Roose-
velt's enemies in congress. And that is
not dangerous, but curative.

EMuLAT1NG "H1s HoGsHIP.'
DEBORAH Republican,


According to the Laporte Progress
Review, Waterloo is becoming piggish.
Here is the way it puts it,
"a club of Waterloo boosters seem to
he serious in their proposed plan to ask
the state legislature to move the head
quarters Of the Iowa State Normal
School to Waterloo. They do not expect
to have the buildings moved, but %
have all official management of the
school done from Waterloo, thus giving
the name Waterloo" in some way to
the school. This is certainly about tho
silliest piece of boosting of which wa
terloo has ever been guilty. That a
sensible business man should really eX-
meet the state legislature to even con-
s;der such a proposition, and yet this
matter was discussed at meeting OF

The irrepressible land hunger of the

the past ten years the earning capacity

Then the wealth of this country is in

occurs opportunity for investment safe

There is something more than silli-
ness in the foregoing-or even hoggish-
ness Ut would simply be the forerun-
ner of a move to make a complete
transfer of the school to the Black
Hawk capital. Waterloo has been d
thorn in the flesh to the powers that
be at the state normal for some time.
The close proximity and easy trans
portaton was an allurement that drew
many students away during class hours
and in some cases students-some of
them girls-Were known to remain
away two or three days. The practice
became so annoying and dangerous

Music and Sermons.

PRAYERS and hymns were character
lied by Jenkin Lloyd Jones in his ser
mon in All Souls church as the wires
connecting the worshiper with the in
SEPARATIONS of the musician, the poet and

Lord is My Shepherd" were mentioned
in his sermon which was on THE VAL
ue of Prayer Service" as among those
HYMNS which belong to humanity. He
said in part:
81 believe in the prayer service, oe-
cause 7 believe that words are counters
of thought that speech helps the mind
and heart up the ladder of human ex-
perience.
",rhe most permanent things of lit
eralture are the hymns and the prayers
of the ages. The most precious dc-
cumulations of life are those same
HYMNS and prayers deposited in the
treasure house of the soul by devout
father and mother. by the discipline
and experience of early childhood 1aa
the consultations and inspirations OF
mature life.

The election of Charles G. Hughes

and since then, with the exception OF
three years as secretary of the inter
