short, she was ugly, she was untidy, and
her language indicated sad lack of

giggle from her disclosed a set of teeth
with a whitish yellow scum on them.
She had the dirt on her neck and face
covered in a slipshod manner with a
cheap powder that smelled like a per-

nails were plenty long enough to dis

feet square. is set in the ground six
feet, and will extend five feet. aside

the ground. The iron in the post cost
between three and four dollars. Over
ton of cement was used. besides sew

four days on the job.
Similar corner posts will be put in

THAT PRESIDENTIAL BID.

lAlgOna Republcan.1
The Cedar Rapids Republican. in its
Friday and Sunday issues. devotes
much attention to airing the statements
of Jud Welliver regarding the prob
ability Of Cummins being the next
candidate for the presidency. declar-
ing that the senator will be too old
four years hence and that his only
chance is in 1912. That the Iowa plat
form is his dictation and that ii is the
keynote for the next national republic
can platform. That Roosevelt hates
and despises Cummins but that the in
surgerts have 70 use for Theodore
Roosevelt unless he will become a
camp follower and in doing so must
not assume leadership among them.
That Cummins wants to be president
as bad as a child wants candy or
duck water. All Of which is spoken OF
in terms of derision and as II such
thought was preposterous even bor-
dering upon a criminal offense.
Surprising the statement regard
ing Cummins' desire for the pres
idency to be true, the writer fails to
see anything particularly alarming
about that Several of our most able
statemen have had aspirations toward
that office but the thought Of holding
them UP to ridicule or scorn on that
account never entered the minds of
the people of this nation. 1t is also
fac. that of late years the man who ac-
cepted the candidacy for president
either had much to do toward shaping
the sentiment and declarations Of the
platform of his party; or is expected
to be in harmony with the platform
and make a strong attempt to carry
out its declarations. That is the very
rock upon which Taft and progressives

hence the party of progressive Iowa
endorse him only so far as he fulfilled
the expectations and promises Of the
platform.
But the most rank declaration Of all
is the assertion that the insurgents
have no use for Teddy Roosevelt only
as a camp follower. Theodore Roose-
welt stands today as the guiding star
of progressive republicanism. 1t Is
Roosevelt policies that are the back
bone Of the progressive movement all
thru the states and for newspaper
to declare that he is to go away back.

preposterous statement to be recog-
nized coming from q sane Individual.
Surprising the ex-president does not
agree with Cummins in many particu-
lars they are both men who will rec
ognize each others rights and opin-
ions and give them due consideration.

New Center Of Prosperity.
Washington Post

aSNiQSlOH f-oStJ
Has the center Of prosperity over
taken and overla pped the center of
population in its westward trend? Or
is the check to activity noticeable only
in the east of a temporary character?
Various reasons are assigned for the
falling off in bank clearings at New
York and other eastern money centers,
while at the same time increases are
reported from western and southern
points in sufficient volume to bring the
total above the corresponding dates of
last year Dismissing the explanations,
which do not explain. together with
others which are contradictory. there
are left for consideration two or three
things which undenably are among the
factors that have brought about the
anomalous result that depression ex-
lists in the east in face of increasing
prosperity west and south.
One of the obvious reasons why the
east is falling behind is the heavy de-
crease in exports, which affects the
earnings Of the railroads hauling them
and the banks that finance them. While
the east last year was falling hundreds
Of millions behind the high point. the
southern ports were actually gaining
over the previous year.
The drift of speculation away from
the east has much to do with the de-
crease in bank clearings and telegraph
business. The public is tired OF the
game, for one thing, and then 1t was
found more profitable to put money
| in western farm lands and mortgages
than in stocks. Thus, the western
banks are turning their money over
at rate rarely experienced while the
New York banks are worrying over
slack demand for funds to move the
crops, not fully realizing as yet that
the crops do not move that way as
Of yore.
| While the decrease in exports and
the stump in speculation are probably
only temporary, and the east may re-
gain all or moro than 1t has lost from
these two causes. more doubt attaches
to the third and principal factor In the
equation. This is the higher cost OF
living: 1t cuts into the casts pros-
perity both ways. reducing its ouyfhs
power and causing a Iessening demand
for it's manufactured products. AL

THE BOY AND THE FARM.

AS Emerson puts 1T, the boy on the
farm regards work on the railroad and
drudgery in town an opportunity. His
mistake is duplicated by the boy or
man Of the small city who becomes
enamored at the supposed opportunity
Of the metropolis. Perhaps in the last
analysis the one thing that operates
against the farm is hard work, or, rath-
err, the looking too much at this and
not enough at the fruits But what
on earth can we put our finger on as a
justly considerable factor in favor of
life in the metropolis as against life in
the small city. for the average man and
average family? To be cooped up in
a fiat in New York is not to live at
all. Only illusion makes it 50.

old farmer boy who hasn't known all
about road drags and their effect ever
since he was old enough to play horse
on the drag In the barnyard. Claims
to be the original advocate of dragged
dirt roads are the boldest braggadocio
and four flushing. Years before the
Capital or the governor gave the
dragged road more than desultory no.
the the Times Republican had q drag
built and was paying men to drag a
couple of miles of the worst highway
into Marshalrown as an object lesson
to those who travelled It. But the
Times Republican does not feel or
claim that 1t "fathered" the idea. On
the contrary It simply recognized a
good thing originated by others. If it
deserves any credit 1t is because 1t saw
1t and used 1t five years before the
present step-fat1ers of dirt roads seem
to have actually heard of it.
But the dirt road. good when it is
good, is not an all the year round road.
