A SENSIBLE JUDGE.

The Missouri papers are applauding
the action of Judge In the southern
part of the state who rebuked an at
torney for objecting to the acceptance
of juror who had read accounts CT
the case in the newspapers What's
the difference If he has read the news
papers?" the Judge demanded Hell
make the better jurymen To say
that g man ought not to serve because
he has read the newspaper accounts is
saying In effect that jury of intelli-
gence is objected to-" The ST. Joseph
Gazette makes this comment:
There is something so absolutely
sensible and practical about the utter
ance of this Judge that 1t is indeed
refreshing. The idea that man is
unfit to sit upon jury because he
reads the papers is so utterly foolish
as to be ludicrous, if it were not dis
gusting. One would imagine if the
questions propounded by certain law
yers to men being examined for jury
duty are to be considered. that abso-
lutte ignorance and stupidity are re-
quisite qualities for jury service. Com
mon sense ought to teach us that the
more intelligent the men who COM
pose our iuries the more likely we are
to get justice in the courts, and it is
absolutely impossible to find an in
telligent man today who does not read
the newspapers. We take Off our hat
to this south Missouri judge, who has
given us a ray Of hope for the ulti-
mate use OF common sense in the mat
ter of selecting jurors

PERHAPS IT'S SOUR GRAPES.

''The Democratic state central com
mittee,' says the Des Moines Capital,
in ironical vein, could have made it
much more inconvenient for q major
ity of the delegates to the next state
convention if they had tried. For ex.
ample, they might have selected Rock
Rapids, in Lyon county; Waukon, in
Allamakee county; Sidney, in Ere
mont county, or Keokuk, in Lee coun-
ty. The action of the committee in
compromising on Ottumwa, Wapello
county, will doubtless be quite salts
factory in view of the fact that the
committee was determined to pass mp
Des Moines, the ideal convention city
of the state Northwest Iowa dele
gates ought to be able to reach the
convention at Ottumwa in three days
time. Then, if the return trip is made
in three days, the weeks outing will
make quite an ideal summer vaca-
ton"
The Courier wishes to add that the
northwest Iowa delegates will be we'll
repaid for their trip, even if they
make it on foot, as the Capitals sched-
ule seems to contemplate Ottumwa

ened to their. opportunities. They
should be told to forget the politicians
and to get into commerce where glory
and success await them. We point to
Fort Dodge as horrible example of
what politics can do for a community.
The young men at Fort Dodge were in
politics. Their names have been hon
Fored. They have done nothing to give
employment to men. What is now
needed at Fort Dodge is business and
commercial activity. No city in the
state could have better future than
Fort Dodge.
All Iowa needs just what Fort Dodge
needs business and commercial activ-
ity. Iowa should be tired by this time
OF being training school for the ma
ton. There are too many headlines in
the Iowa papers that tell of Former
Iowans" who are "going higher"
These men are classified as former
Iowans' because they saw evidence at
home that the honors in Iowa were for
men who achieved prominence in po-
litfcal life, that political success in
Iowa seemingly was held to be the
only thing worth while, and they left
Iowa and went to states where there
was more credit to be gained and
more honor to be won by the man who
made business success.
1t may not be possible to bring
these former Iowans back to the state,
but Iowa can see that it holds it's pres
ent Iowans by giving every encour-
agement to the business enterprises
that will keep these men at home and
make the state a sharer in their sue
cess.

SOUTHERN IOWA BOOMING.

The Opportunity" edition just ls-
SUED by the Oskaloosa Herald calls at
tention to the strides forward that city
s is making. The year 1909 was Oska-
loosa's banner year. Improvements
costing $1,5o0,O00 were made, repre-
sent,ng expenditures OF $65O,OOO IN
new factories and business corpora
lions, $275,O00 in improvements 70
business houses, $4,000 in new
dwellings and $1S5,000 in improve
ments to other residences. One new
residence was erected during the year
by w. A. McNeill at a cost of $4,000.
In addition to these improvements

Reports from other towns and cities
IN southern Iowa concerning Improve
ments that have been made during
the last year and those contem-
Mated for the present year
show that this section of the
state is enjoying period of great
expansion. Centerville has its interur-

grown wonderfully. 1t has built its

It's latest Improvement is the adoption
of the electrolier system OF street
lighting. Seymour is forging ahead,
proof Of which is given by the build

of the towns and the cities and there
is no doubt but that the next few
years will witness unparalleled growth
for all this section Of the state.

poLITlcs VS.. BUSINESS.

It has been pointed out in many
nuarters that there has been too much
politics in Iowa in the past, and too
little business. Iowa has sent forth
many men who became leaders in the
rational life The nation profited by
their counsel, but their services were
largely lost to the state, and the state
needed their help in it's upbuilding.
Others have achieved prominence in
the political life of the state through
force of qualities that would have
made them leaders in its business life.
and the business world needed the
services Of these men it had lost. The
Des Moines Capital forcefully calls at
tention to this by reference to Fort
Dodge. The capital says:
Fort Dodge is one of the prosperous
and promising cities of Iowa. Il might
have been double its present size II
the bright young men of Fort Dodge.
who took up the political game, had
remained in the business world. We
readily recall John F.. Duncombe, Cy-
rus C.. Carpenter, Judge Meservey and
his sons, George E. Roberts, the Healy
brothers, M. D. O'Connell and last but
not least. Senator Dolliver. These
were and are powerful men. The state
knows their ability. Yet who ever
remembers of meeting one of them
away from home on mission looking
to the Npbuildingof Fort Dodge? And
who can forget The meeting of these
friends many times on errands con-
nected with politics-and what has all
their political fame accomplished for
Fort Dodge? Their names have gone
into history, but there is not an in
dustry at Fort Dodge which they es-
fablished. Fort Dodge has been COM
pelled to grow on her own account
and by force Of circumstances. Her
leaders have been in politics. Fort
dodge needs u new birth. There are
young men there who should be awak-

The Burlington Hawk-Eye believes
THAT all Iowa should lend its support
to the river Improvement plans. With
tho Mississippi on the east and the
Missouri on the west, and with doz-
en- streams crossing her territory, that
can easily be made navigable for
light draft craft, says the Hawk-Ewe,
there ought to be talk of river I'M
provement out on the prairies and In
the cornfelds, and there should be no
knocking in papers that are published
in cities that have not even small
creek near them. For in Iowa, as
elsewhere, the benefit Of one Is the
benefit Of all, and the towns that have
no rivers and the inland farmers Will
profit by river Improvement, just as
will the towns more directly interest.

n YBxT in Importance to the proper
IN cooking Of food Is the way it is
u served and the order in which
the table d laid. The attrac-
dve appearance Of we'll cooked food
appeals strongly to the appetite and
prepares the digestive organs for their
work. Probably every person has ex-
perienced the feeling Of being suddenly
hungry when some especially attrac-
tive Wand has been displayed before
him. Equally true is 1t that almost
every one has known hunger to van
ish at sight Of q table laid with soiled
linen and china and food carelsssly
arranged on serving dishes. The home
" hash has not 4 musical name and
generally calls up memories Of unen-
joyable meals, yet have known a
platter Of it to win as sincere approval
u has ever been bestowed on q porter
house steak. True, the hash was serv-
Cd piping hot on pretty platter. 1t
was well Drowned, nanked perhaps
with poached eggs and garnished with
sprigs Of parsley. Its favor, too, was
just as pleasing and tempting as it's
appearance. 1t may take moment
or two longer to garnish the dish Of
meat or vegetables, but it certainly
pays for the trouble. Rather than
neglect it would suggest emitting
one or two dishes from the menu. Re
ferring to menus brings to mind the
fact that In some homes. those in the
country especially, there is tendency
to serve too many foods of the same
kind ut the same meal.
For instance. have many times
seen three kinds of cooked fruit. three
or four kinds of vegetables and at
least two kinds Of pickles or desserts
served at an ordinary dinner. This
means unnecessary work, unnecessary
expense and 50 much time spent In
preparation that very likely there was
none left for dainty serving. A knowl-
edge Of foods and food values should
teach the housekeeper that one food OF
each Of the above mentioned kinds Il
sufficient at one time for any family.
In many homes, too, 1t is the custom
to put al the food on the table at
once and have the various dishes pass
