It is rumored that the agricultural
college is to lose its very capable head,
Dr. A. B. Storms 1t is to be hoped
that this report may prove an inven-
ton The college owes very much Of
it's high rank and magnificent develop
ment to the present president, who
succeeded in showing the farmers that
an agricultural college is a good thing.
Former generations OF Iowa farmers
looked at the agricultural college as a
fad, and the band at Ames was about
the most i'm portant feature of the col
lege work. Now, not merely the farm
ers of Iowa, but the agriculturists and
stockmen Of the whole union, yes. Of
the whole world, know the Iowa col
lege and the work that is being done
there In the good old times it was
difficult to get appropriations for the
college. But since President Storms
has been in the chair and since men
like Holden and a dozen others have
been showing the Iowa farmers that
the professors can farm and that
books may be made a great aid to the
farmers, and that farming with the
head pays ever so much better than
farming with the hands only there is
no more trouble on that score, and the
Iowa college can get anything that 1t
cares to ask for. And the next time
the budget is made up there ought to
be very substantial increases in the
salaries of the president, every pro-
fessor and assistant professor and in
structor in the institution. The val
liable men ought to be paid salary
sufficient to hold them here at home
when other states come with better
offers.

tn: s7u EST MEN IN THE WORLD

Most of US fall into a state Of mind
at times which leads to self pity. Here
is a little story from the Mt. Pleasant
Free Press which is the best remedy
for that feeling of self pity:
"You may think you have hard row
to hoe with the present high prices, but
listen to this: Eugene Russell at Rome.
section boss, lost his eyesight in a gas
explosion; he has but one thirteenth
of the eyesight of one eye left, and he
can not see even with that unless he
has on powerful spectacles. Yet he
works every day. supports a family of
five or six and is not standing around
bewailing his hard luck. When you
think your wages are low and that you
are not paid what you are worth, or if
your farm did not produce as big
crop last year as you had expected,
and you feel all out of sorts with the
world, think of Eugene Russell"
in an Iowa city an old man has just
celebrated his Tooth birthday and is
living in his second century. To one man
at least in his city the sight of this old
man has been a physical and mental
tonic. When he came down town of a
morning feeling old and worn with a
tendency toward self pity, it has so
happened that as a usual thing he saw

trict to bring about this improvemen t
and they should do it now. The BUSH
ness men should be the aggressors In
this good roads movement because
they will come in for the major share
of the benefits If it accomplishes what
it sets out to do. We have had the
reputation all over the county of hav-
ing the worst roads within mile or
this town that there are in the county
and the worst Of it is that we deserve
the reputation that we have. Farmers
can't help but feel that town that is
so hard to get into as this one doesn't
seem to care whether they bring their
crops and produce to market or not.
They are justified to feel that town
that allows bad roads to be up around
it all the year wants to be let alone
and they leave it alone. The business
men of this town can't afford to let
this feeling grow deeper. They can
do something to uproot it and they
should do it now. We have got the
money to work with. There is now ST.
500 in the county road fund. A good
share of this money can and should be
used to make roads into this town that
are passable the year around. Mr.. Frost,

favor of getting the service Of a prac-
teal road builder to come here to sup
erintend this road work as soon as the
weather permits in the spring. Mr..
Frost should have the cooperation OF
the town council Of this town and the
township trustees of this township in
this work The business men of this
town should see to it that this cooper
alton will come and they should see to
it now. They should get together and
stay together until this work Is accom-
plished. Good roads sentiment Is in
the air. Let US get into action, and
let US do it now.

IT still remains true that the Ian
enare melted by sectarian quarrels is
more violent than it is in political dis
a agreements. but even in such disputes
time is bringing Improvement IN
tern per and expression. This is shown
by a comparison between the Fair
banks incident in Rome and some OF
the the earlier denominational DIVER
genc!es. Some infammatory eplthets,
such as "pernicious activity often
sive proselyting.'' "reactionary rell-
gious spirit vulgar intolerance,
medieval intermeddling," and other
fighting phrases have been used by a
few of the churchmen and laymen on
both sides.
But the violence of the sectarlan
feuds of half a century ago or pre-
viously has been softened in a large
degree No longer are churches de-
stroyed and pastors naltreated Inc
old Know-nothing party which would
have excluded the members OF one
particular Christian church out OF the
privilege of office holding in the United
States, and which aimed ultimately at
excluding them from the franchise, has
no counterpart in our day. 1t had a
feeble and sporadic echo in the "a. P.
A." of two decades ago, but that erup-
ton of intolerance is forgotten by most
persons who were old enough when it
was here to know what it meant, while
| the young ger generation has not heard
of it. This proscriptive spirit, even IN
| its latest manifestation, had some eff
feet in politics, but it is now only a
"reminiscences and probably it will not
| be revived.
Nevertheless, as shown by other dis
closures besides the Fairbanks episode
| there is more of the unchristian spirit
among some christians than is pleasant
to think of. In some of the denomina-
tons the divisions of the slavery days
are maintained. Slavery has been dead
for forty-five years. Nearly that length

And scared aloft to where

With Jewels large and rare.

Reposed upon the gate.

From nine o'clock till ten:
From ten to twelve and then till three,

.Bu1 THE YOUNG. YOUNG cHlLDR NJ

The crime of the centuries is the ne
glect of children. The growth Of GRIM
inality, in high and low places, is dl-
rectly attributable to the fact that the
world is busy with reform and idle to
a criminal extent as regards the ne
elected child. 1t is as true in religion
as in sociology, in the home as upon
the street, in meeting and out, on Sat
urday afternoon as on Sunday. We
spend our time with a mass OF wreck
age to the neglect of good lumber. We
bolster trees ready to fall With their
own weight and rottenness While the
twigs and saplings grow into twisted
shapes without attention. We are poor
foresters, retaining much that is prac-
tically worthless, perpetuating species
which are of little value and permitting
vandalism TO run riot in the growing
sprouts Of humanity.
1T is a serious mistake, not the effort
to reclaim but the paucity of effort put
forth TO prevent. We make a ulonstrous
fuss over one blackleg, who processes
reformation and take slight notice Of
the boy who is growing into a blackleg.
We open missions for men who do not
deserve them and deny the children the
help and opportunity which they have
a right to claim as inherently their
own. We build dipsomaniac asylums
and keep on filing them by giving
every person soulless enough 10 profit
in the blood and souls Of boys and the
tears of women legal right to go filling
millions on fallen men, thousands on
fallen women and hundreds in pre-
venting children becoming fallen men
and lost women. We weep over the
down and cutters and watch with equa-
nimfty the children start on the road
to Avernus.
A Jail under present conditions. is a
necessity, but a place where the ne
elected child may refuge is not. An
insane asylum is a public charity and
peniteniaries q, needed protection but
the care and cultivation of children
who lack everything but pareatage are
to be left to private charity and the
reform schools. We are not forming
character but reforming it. And we
are wasting at the spigot and not saw
ing at the bung.
1t is time that the state and the COM
munity awoke TO the needs of the chill
dren, TO the prevention of crime and
the depopulation Of penitentiaries by
turning the food which fills them and
swells the Grim NAL tide aside at its
source. We show common engineerin g
sense in our drainage bitches; we show
a notable lack of ordinary observation
and desire to assist society in general
when we turn away from the neglected
children and the children who need help
and moral support. Why not begin
moral drainage at the spring head?
This is for good people 10 ponder.
The beginning of crime and immortality
is among the children The first 10
years of a boys life determines the
course of his life, its usefulness or its
useless or worse The children are be-
ing neglected while we expend excess
sive effort on men who return little. 1t
is a case of lost motion" Let's get
b1sv where it will do most good.

Nevada Representative
The Ballinger Investigating commit
tee has been taking a recess In order
to give Mr. Ballinger time to get a
lawyer and have the latter get ready
for making the desired defence in the
further progress of the case When
the committee started in the admin
istration theory was that the investiga-
ton was of no consequence and that
the republican senators and congress-
men on the committee would sufficient
~ take care of the administration in
terest. AS the matter has gone on,
however, the case made against Bal
linger has been much stronger than
appears to have been officially antici-
pated, and the republican senators and
congressman have objected to the
amount of responsibility that has been
thrown upon them. So a lawyer has
pected hereafter. The lawyer selected
who seem to be so popular with the
Taft administration; and thus it ap-
pears that besides having one Tenes-
see democrat in the cabinet and an
other Tennessee democrat on the su-
prene bench we are to have the general
defence of the administration against
imputations Of improperly in the mat
ter Of Alaska coal lands intrusted to a

alton is peculiar, and one of it's strang-

had congregated in large numbers and
were taken out with pitchforks, spears,

would be light if they plead guilty,
they all did so and We're fined few
