Congressman Mckinley of Illinois
has introduced bill In congress au-
thorizing all postoffices to sell govern
ment bonds. The bill also authorizes
the secretary of the treasury to issue
Panama canal bonds in small denomin-
atoms, such as $50 and $500, payable
fifty years from date and drawing 9
per cent interest. The advantage of
the proposed arrangement is thus stat
ed by the Kewanee Star-Courier:
Such a law would make investment

AN ANNIVERSARY.

The Sioux City Journal having ar
rived at it's fortieth year rnodestly
mentions the fact that il has had an
other birthday and briefly reviews the
changes that have brought about the
transformation ~ Sioux City and the
Journal has circulated during so long
a span. 1t notes chat few remain who
came in the SOS and not many pioneers
are left. Looking beyond. to a period
forty years hence the editor of the
Journal sees even greater transforma-
ton and, if one may be permitted to
read between the lines the unexpressed
thought does not see himself busy in
the little front office at the desk near
the window. No doubt som ewhat of
regret mingles itself with philosophy
and that regret will be shared for him
and for themselves by those who expect
TO remain part of things in 1850 and
by those who have no such expecta-
ton.
L ne JouTlial 4tSeii - Dui an iiiSi
dent says the Journal; but it is
somewhat more. 1t has been moving
force. necessary word in the incan-
tation part not only of the enchant-
ment but assistant to the enchanter.
And saving this is also saying that no
newspaper which has labored for years
hopefully and helpfully to the growth
and prosperity of city or section
is merely an incident in its trans
formation. 1t has been vital. 1t has
been builder. Its best reward is that
those who have built with it can lock
on forty years or forty centuries to the
builder Of that day saying: u too,
have wrought"

WHAT WOULD 7HEIlLInols FARMER Dor

If an Iowa farmer was moving
west" seeking a location where lone
Iowa acre will buy ten" he would IA
vor the farm where the rural delivery
box stood at the front door, the tele-
phone hung on the wall of the farm
house; and he would mark the state
Of the roads between the farm and the
market town most carefully.
Now suppose a half section was
quoted at $40 an acre and three miles
away, same kind of farm, same land
same buildings were quoted at $50
From the $40 farm bad dirt road
ran townwards with the promise of "a
fearful road in the spring" From the
$50 land a hard road, good any day in
the year. Mr.. Iowa farmer. which
would you buy?
Now the difference between the
prices set on those farms is so per
ing with the $50 an acre from the sale
of your own Iowa land. Ten dollars an
acre wouldn't look big.
Suppose a paved road ran from your
iowa farm to the city. When the man
from central Illinois came to Iowa look
ing for land; the man who sold the
other day for $3.50 an acre, would he
be likely to select your farm at s175
an acre OF the one three miles away
on a poor dirt road at $3.50?
It's worth thinking Of when you can
pave the road between your home and
the city at annual expense on a bond
issue of less than 6 per cent interest on
81 DER acre. Would the land be worth
the increase?

WANTS ROOSEVELT CLUBS.

I1meS- Ike puDi!can:
Leading democrats in this state are
advising the organization all over the
state Of Jefferson Democratic Clubs.
AS a republican l would suggest to
the republicans of the state the Or
ganization of Roosevelt Republican
Clubs.
The Roosevelt administrations are
nos, matter of history. The leading
policies of the same are designated
and known the country over as the
Roosevelt policies and as such were
approved and made part Of the last
republican national platform. They
have repeatedly been endorsed by Pres
ident Taft and the executing and carry
ing out of these policies as far as pos
sibIe on his part is the declared in
tention Of his administration, therefore
are the legitimate policies of the re-
publican party.
The organization of Roosevelt Re-
publican Clubs would emphasize this
fact.
Further as the endorsement Of the
Roosevelt policies in the republican
platform indicated a spirit of progress
sion within the party, so the organiza-
ton today OF Roosevelt republican
Clubs would indicate a progressive re-
publicanism It would tend to strength
en- the hands Of President Taft and
the members Of congress who are in
sympathy with those policies in their
| efforts to make the same effective.
| 1t would greatly harmonic and
strengthen the party in the state as
but few, If any, would be found who
would oppose such an organization
| 1t would open up an opportunity
for a friendly consideration and dis
cussion of the difficulties that have
confronted the president and our legis-
lation in thus carrying out OF those
policies, and no doubt have a tendency
to allay the bitterness OF conflicting
opinions.
| 1t would fix a standard Of principles
around which all republicans in the
state could rally in the coming con-
gressional and state campaigns Why
not then organize Roosevelt Republican
Clubs all over this state?

Planting Potatoes.

The prevailing. and we might say
foolish, custom Of most farmers is to
plant potatoes just as they come, little
and big. Indeed, some use the smaller
ones for seed and retain the larger ones
for cooking purposes. sometimes plac-
ing them on the market.
While such course will not notice.
ably affect the potato crop for single
season, its continuation surely but
slowly lowers the yield-not SO much
by an insufficient number Of tubers. but
by inferiority in size and quality. We
believe this to be the chief blunder
made by most potato raisers and that
it accounts for more failure with this
crop than any other one cause.
Assuming that you failed to select
seed potatoes at the proper time last
season Gas nine out Of ten fail to),
great care should be exercised in Sc
lecting seed this spring. With the
thought in mind that it was quite likely
the healthy, vigorous plant which pro-
duced the larger tubers, these should
be chosen for seed, since they will be
more liable to propagate stronger
plant and heavier yield than the
smaller potatoes, which no doubt came
from weak or inferior plant growth.
Is this not true of any other plant or
animal life? Then why should it not
be true OF otatoes?-Twentieth Gem

HAPPY RELEASE,

Senator Aldrich has made UP his
mind to retire. He is 10 years old and
In poor health. He is going to quit.
Aldrich is type IN American life
and politics. Shrewd, insistent, cold
bloodedly calculating he represents
type Of success in business and politics.
Aldrich is a steam roller. He is ma
chine with unlimited horse power be-
hind it, Accomplishment of an end Is
the controlling spring of this type OF
business man or politician. The char
acter of the end to be accomplished
and the means to accomplish II are
subordinated 10 the desire. Senator
Aldrich more than any other man In
the senate combines in himself the
brainy and audacious selfishness of the
age. He succeeded to Mark Hanna's
throne of supreme boss by right OF
force, intelligence, capacity and lack of
scruples. Lacking somewhat of Hanna's
dynamic power the unsuitable poise of
Aldrich made him even more absolute
than the boss he succeeded. Hanna
never forgot a man who had served
him; A!drich never remembered unless
he could use him further.
Senator Aldrich is a strong man in
public life but one who can be spared
to immense advantage. His greatness
is not of the statesman but of the poll
tician. He is a sectionalist and as
sectionalist representative of a minor
ity of his section. He is not of the
United States but of Rhole Island, not
of Rhode Island but of a few in Rhode
Island who seek special privilege and
demand profit by public loss. He is the
Rockefeller of political life, sincere no
doubt in his SNUG conviction that the
earth is the saints and that the saints
are special interests.
It is time for the Aldrichs and Can
mons TO retire. The Rochester election
is somewhat more than d hint. The
nation can well spare Senator Aldrich
from congress and the republican party
must take its choice between the AL
drichs and its own retirement. There
will be no popular outburst of regret
over Aldrich's decision to leave The
public has long been standing near the
door with the sen ator's hat in its hand.
