As TO the AVERAGE WORKING MAN.

1t is a poor philosopher who. in
these days. has not theo'y with re-
gard to the widespread discomfort
with conditions. Every man Of note
has had his say on the subj ct, even
if he only declared the discomfort to
be imaginary.
Naturally DR.. Elliott, latepresident
of Hazard college, holds to his ideas
on the matter, which in the abstract
are partly true. He says:
1T is the lust for gold and the
thirst for power considered by
Americans as the main object of
existence that the present discon-
tent in the country is to be at
tributed.
1.-THE object of life with the In
dividual, as with the nation, re-
suits from the succession of plea
surable emotions and feelings.
and progress is measured by hap
piness, not in dollars and cents.
The average workingman seems
unable to realize this
As a statement of fact the first sem
tence is correct. The desire for gold
and power are leading factors in the
country discomfort, but if he means
by the last sentence, that only the av
erage workingman fails to realize that
money is not the object in life, he has
studied the matter through his own
blue glasses. He reasons as man
having his life environment Of wealth
and culture is likely to do. While not
ranked in the over-rich class, it is un-
likely that the president of so great
an institution of learning ever knew
the pinch of real poverty. In all his
life there has never been a day when
he did not know where to get bread.
Ii such a day had been Of his ex-
perience lie would have known that to
the average workingman happiness
Is measured by dollars and cents.
The average workingman is not a
philosopher, an apostle of culture or
anything of that sort: but he knows
when he and his family are hungry,
ill-housed and ill-clothed. Even if he
knows the exact "object in life,' he
will not be really happy contemplate
ing that, when he and his dear ones
are in want.

Has Acted as Caretaker OF Iowa Ath :
letic Field Nearly Sixty Years.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, March 25.-"Jimmie," the
caretaker of the University of Iowa
athletic field, will complete his sixtieth
year of service here next st. Patrick s
day and the students in the college of
applied science are planning to honor
him in their annual celebration of the
day.
Jimmy Barry will be so years old on
March II. 1911. He started in the en-
ploy of the state university on his goth
birthday and heNhas missed few days
of service since.
AS one of the most unique characters
in the institution Jimmie is respected
by the students and reverenced by the
athletes. He is jealous of the powers
invested in him regarding the care and
guarding of Iowa field and the small
boys are fearful of "Jimmie's" big
stick which he yields with dexterity
despite his SO years.
Two summers ago Jimmie accom-
plished the peculiar feat of keeping the
grass, on the gridiron of Iowa field
down by cutting it with a hand mower.
More credit was given him because 1t
was a wet summer. He insisted that
no horse be let on the field because the
hoof prints would make it rough for
the fall football practice.
