ALMOST A PRESIDENT

The municipality of Lima, Peru, has
presented Mr. Bryan with a gold med
al. This is the latest of series of
honors which has been bestowed on
the distinguished traveller in the Pc
ruvian capital.
When we consider Mr.. Bryan's re-
ception there, and elsewhere, the idea
that he has managed to secure many
of the advantages of the presidency
without any Of the corresponding an
noyances comes irresstibly to mind.
In fact, if we leave the disposition of
postmasterships and a few other Off
cial duties out of consideration it is
difficult to see why being an almost
president" as Mr.. Bryan is, is not al
most as good as being a, real president.
atoms and other honors as easily as a
Nebraska farmer reaps his wheat. If
a real president could reap any more
he would have to tap some new and
hitherto UNEMPLOYED source of supply.
But honors and influence are far
from being the sole advantages apper-
tanning to the position of the greatest
living almost president" There are
others far more substantial Being an
almost president" has been worth
comfortable fortune to Mr.. Bryan
worth more in fact than being a real
president would have been to him or
has been to many men.
If there fingers in the bosom of any
American a certain personal regret
that Mr.. Bryan did not get to be pres
ident let him console himself. He got
to be an almost president and that
in itself has proved to be no inconsid.
cradle benefit In rejecting him with
a certain positiveness for their chief
magistrate the American people elected
him to honors and monuments whereof
the tale is still unfolding.
1t is not improbable that if he were
to be real president for awhile, with
all the cares, difficulties, chickering's
and responsibilities which go with that
office. he would exclaim with sincere
regret: 20, my almost presidency why
did ever leave your pleasant and luc-
rative shades for this place of toll,
trouble and ingratitude,"
His polite reception OF the particular
gift bestowed by the municipality of
Lima. Peru. suggests that Time breaks
down many antagonisms in the breast
of an almost PRESIDENT as well as in
that of any other man. Time was. we
imagine 1So6-1900 inclusive) when the
attempted presentation OF gold medal
might have struck the DISTINGUISHED
Commoner as a deliberate reflection on
his principles and record. But that
feeling of extreme dislike for the vel
low metal seems TO have completely
vanished.
In view of this fact it would not be
surprising some day to hear of Mr.
Bryan consenting to sit down here at
ONE to SO banquet. receive a medal
from an imperialist club. appear as a
guest at a dinner in honor OF the con-
stitution as it is, Or sit quiet while
some orator insisted that after all the
people do not rule in this country.

Electroliers for Cresco.

A representative of anelectrical COM
pany was i'll Cresco yesterday and ar
ranged with Mr.. Freehauf to install a
couple of sample electroliers on Main
street, and he expects to return next
week and complete the arrangement.
AS the new scheme provides for a
cluster Of Tungsten lamps on an orna-
mental iron post, if adopted it will do
away with poles and wires on the
street.
The following from a Spencer Qowa)
newspaper shows the satisfaction given
by sample electrolier in that town:
1.-The sample electrolier put on Bjorn-
stad's corner has pleased our people,
and canvas has been made of the
business section and the result is that
now there is quite a little over 81, 900
raised and number of people to see
yet. With hardly an exception, all the
people doing business in Spencer have
responded, and number or people
who have no property on Main street
have been very liberal in donating.
We hope the movement will be sue
cess. 1t will surely make our little
city much prettier at night. p"

"A Visit to John ]. Walenta's Stock

Several months since we were invited
by Mr.. John ]. Valenta to pay visit
to his home, located two and and-half

took advantage of trip to Protiyin

Before proceeding to description OF
Mr.. Valenta's farm, we must note
that the little village of Protivin shows
continuous Improvement from year to

Mr.. Walenta's farm is a solid body
of $40 acres, watered by a spring

fine brick residence erected eleven
years ago provides for the comfort and
convenience of the family and the
farm buildings embrace a large barn, a
new hay house and granary, machine
sheds, cattle barns and blacksmith
shop. Mr.. Walenta's father settled on
the farm in 1850 and in 1872 he sue

long period of cultivation the acres

The Success of Former Cresco
Resident.

''The Emmetsburg Cornet Band and
Professor Granzow received much
praise for their playing on M. W. A.
Picnic Day." said the Palo Alto Tri-
bupe in its last issue. cit was the
general opinion that the Emmetsburg
Band furnished the best music Of the
three bands that were present. This
is quite record for band that has
been together only four months.
Much of their advancement and sue
cess is due to Professor Granzow OF
Algona, better known as Fritz, who
has been instructing them. 1t is no
small matter to take 25 boys who had
no previous experience with band in
struments and in four months put
them in condition to compete with
bands that are five and six years old.
This is what Professor Granzow has
done for our band boys. "-Emmets-
burg Qa.) Tribune.
We are glad to note the success of
Professor Granzow, who was one OF
the very best musicians ever in Cresco,
but unfortunately unappreciated as he
should have been. We are glad to
note his success as a teacher, he now
having nine bands which he is instruct
ing and more waiting to secure his
services.

Weather.Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, July 24.-The
mean temperature for the past week
was slightly below the normal, the
days being bright and hot and the
nights moderately cool. The rainfall
was much below the average and badly
distributed, few localities reporting
copious showers while the bulk of the
state received little if any relief, and
the drouth is unbroken The heaviest
rainfall as in the past two weeks, was
reported from the northwestern coun-
ties, but copious showers occurred in
some localities in the northeastern dis
trict. Corn has held it's own remarka-
bly, we'll and up to date has suffered
little if any damage, but the crop has
reached the danger line and will begin
to retrograde if rain does not come
soon. In some localities where showers
have not occurred recently the plants
wilt and the leaves curl during the day
but still maintain healthy color. The
bulk of the hay and small grains have
been cut and secured in excellent con-
dition. Thrashing is becoming gen.
eral and early reports indicate full
average yield, and the quality of all
grain is far superior to anything we
have had for several years. Pasturage
is SO short that stock feeding is neces-
sary in many localities. The potato
crop continues to deteriorate except
where heavy showers have occurred.
Following is the estimated crop acre,
age in Iowa for 1910, as based on re-
turns from crop correspondents and
township assessors: Corn. $780, ,SOC
acres; oats, 4,325, 43O; spring wheat,
293, $50; winter wheat. 1S5, $40: barley,
533, 700; rye, 80, 295; flax, 16.94l; pota.
toes, 1876, $50, hay, 4,242, ,6lO acres.

grain is good and his pasture the
greenest we saw in his vicinity.
Mr.. Walenta's stock specialties are
Polled Angus cattle and Berkshire
hogs. OF the cattle he has about 60
head of full bloods of the choicest
breeding. Some of the cows have won
prizes at the big shows and were
bought at large price, and the herd
contains some young yearling bulls of
the low down, blocky type that could
give good account of themselves if
put in the show ring. Mr.. Walenta
devotes his energies to the beef strains
of the breed, but has few cows that
show that the Polled Angus breed con-
tains some good milking strains.
His herd of Berkshire hogs cont ain
some of the best of this breed, he
having spared no expense IN building it
up. While the animals were little
thin owing to the scarcity OF feed.
they looked to be a healthy and thrifty
lot.
Mr.. Walenta is one of the pioneer
nurserymen of northeastern Iowa, and
has about eighteen acres of young ap-
pie trees, small fruits ard evergreens,
of which he makes speciality and has
an endless variety, importing his own
seedlings. Mr.. Walenta employs no
agents and does no shipping, all trees
being delivered to the customer from
the nursery, and as a result growers
of MIR. Walenta's stock meet with re-
marllable success. The gaps in the
blocks of seedlings and transplanted
trees show that this nursery is extern
tensively patronized.
Late in the afternoon, we started for
home and it took no effort whatever to
get our promise to again visit the hos
pitable home of Mr.. Walenta and his
estimable family.

Will Roosevelt Fail to Influence his
PARTY?

Will NOOSeVelC d1l " AuAAueASS LAS
Party?
To the observer, who does not seek
for causes below the surface conditions,
there would seem to be nothing to
prevent Roosevelt from exercising Ia
great influence upon his party's future.
He is going to make the attempt, but
the chances are all against him. 1t is
hard for prize fighter to come back,
and harder still for an ex-presldent.
Several of our ex- presidents have tried
to re-enter public life, after they had
served their allotted terms in the presl-
Dental office, and in each instance they
have signally failed.
If Roosevelt succeeds he will break
a long record of failures; he will prove
himself most remarkable man. The
task before him seems next to impcs-
sible. If he aligns himself with Taft
his strength with the masses will end,
and if he opposes Taft he will only
rank as chief of the insurgents. s.-Man-
chester Democrat.
