Fifty Years of Happiness.
Baltimore Sun.


Half century ago in a little farm
house in Wisconsin Lucy Huntington
was married to Samuel Fallows. At
her wedding she could afford no elabor-
ate Irousseau, but was content with a
modest dress and wore a gray bonnet
with knot Of true-blue ribbon. A year
later the tall young man she married
went off to the war A few days ago
this couple stood beside each other
and received the congratulations Of
friends and messages from their own
and distant lands For it was their
golden wedding, celebrated in the gold
en- evening of their lives. The young
soldier had become a bishop of his
church, the pretty bride had been his
helpmeet, and behind them were half
hundred years full of good deeds.
With their children and children's chill
dren around them with the friends of
many years beside them, no wonder
the memories brought the tear to the
eye and the throb TO the heart as they

lis marriage a failure You might
think 1t q topic for debate IL you list
ened only to the grind Of the divorce
courts and the quarrels Of disputing
couples who force their troubles on
the public. But the millions OF homes
in which marriage is a great success
do not throw open their doors to the
curious and impertinent. Some one
has defined home as "a world of strife
shut out, world of love shut in" Such
an anniversary as the golden wedding
OF the good bishop and his wife serves
to remind us that after all most men
are honest. most women are true and
most marriages are successful.
Did you ever hear of an old bachelor
celebrating his iftieth year of single
life? Did you ever know maiden
lady to celebrate the fiftieth year of
her escape from the bonds of Inatri-
mony? Nothing in this world is per-
feet, and welded life has its trials and
tribulasions, as has any other sort of
life. But it must be a pretty good in
ssi1ution that can put into any life
fifty happy years.

SELLING A FRIEND.
IAlton Democratic


Sioux City horse buyers took seven
teen horses out of Alton Wednesday.
Among them was Old Dick, the dray
horse. Dick has pulled the Alton dray
for fifteen years-beginning when 81
year-old with Hank Pins as driver. AT
the age of 1S he is the best draft horse
In Alton and sold for $140. It is said
and we hope truthfully-thath he goes
to kind and careful master. Dick has
uncommonly good taste. He has taught
many another horse the dray business.
And when a frisky broncho or a
clumsy draft colt wanted to run away
Old Dick simply set his feet and re-
fused to bulge his 1000 pounds. He
thought runaway was foolishness and
a waste OF energy. He saved his
strength for hard pull-and would
tackle any load. If lined up across the
railroad track when a freight was
switching he simply stepped off the
track and let the box cars scratch his
sides for him. 1t saved him rubbing on
the sides of his stall. He would eat
hay out of an auto and drink out of an
engine tender. Everybody in Alton
knew Old Dick and will hope he falls
into good hands.

President Taft administered a just

of women suffragettes who heard him

BIG FACTOR IN SHIPPING pRoBLrm.

One of the chief reasons why Ameri-
can shipping has waned until the stars
and stripes are scarcely to be seen on
the high seas is that ours is not a sea-
faring people. So many of us live in
land and hardly ever see the water.
and conditions the same in other re-
spects. still it is likely that the sea
would be neglected. And, come to
that the reason is that there is more
monye in something else, and it's
money your American lad is looking
for. He will listen more or less i'm
patiently 10 the pretty lectures on the
beauties of other things, but its born
and bred in him 10 want the dollar
After all is said and done that is the
measure of success that obtains.
A prominent shipping master of
New York states that no trouble was
experienced IN securing American re-
cruits when the clipper ship was in
vogue and there was romance in
seafaring life. But since the opening
OF other opportunities for oney-mak-
ing the sea has been abandoned for
enterprise With more promise in it as
10 future advancements. The main re-
pellant is the hopelessness of the fu-
ture for young sailors. If they serve
for years they may become masters of
nib liners carrying passengers and re-
ceive from $4,000 to $4,000 year, but
berths of this kind are comparatively
few in the marine service and plenty
in other lines of effort Hence the
merchant vessels which fy the stars
and stripes have crews composed f
Germans, Scandinavians. Austrians,
Italians. spaniards, Portuguese, Greeks
and Britons.
Following further the thought thar
even tho fewer Of our people were in
land still seamen would be scarce, il
is noted that even Great Britain is be-
ginning 20 experience the same diff
Guilty, as young Englishmen now refuse
to 60 TO sea because there is no
money in it." They see long years Of
service, and only $50 month should
they rise 10 the position Of junior Of
hcer. Prediction is also made by close
observers of tendencies in this respect
that Germany, which is progressing
industrially and opening opportunities
for advancement that surpass those Of
a seafarin glife, will also soon feel the
same influence.
The ship subsidy is now a matter of
contest between the nations, a contest
which America could not enter to any
serious extent without the outlay of
immense sums. As the youth of the
world turns more to other occupations
for purely gainful reasons, the same
will be still further beyond the reach
Of the United States

MOVING THE CHURCH,

a little story printed in recent issue
of an eastern periodical becomes es-
pecially applicable to the Iowa political
lection OF the senators who have spoz-
en- the mind and done the bidding OF
Iowa faithfully and who are 10 be rep
riIrlanded and removed If the Cannons,
Guggenheirners and -Aldrichs can ac-
co1nplish that end. Listen:
In a certain town the wide openers,
with considerable help from the church
element, elected the mayor. A stranger
stopping before church around which
men and teams were working, asked
an idler what they were doing with
the church Moving H." was the re-
ply. Going TO build better one?"
NO; I'm the mayor, and I'm having
1t moved. You see, ! told everybody
should enforce the laws. On thai
pledge they elected me. Now, there's
an ordinance which says no saloon
shall be allowed within twenty feet
OF church. So I'm moving the
church"
The Iowa situation is similar. When
Taft was candidate his intimate sup
porters in his own state picked up the
Iowa idea as embodied in the shelter
plank of the Cedar Rapids convention
and carried II bodily TO Ohio for Taft
to stand upon. The national republican
convention took il from Ohio and
spiked it down as part of the national
Rur- "a
made and won in the preconvenrion
campaign and the election on Roose-
velt-Iowa lines. The Roosevelt pol
icies and the Iowa idea were the cam
paign. They provided that special in
terests should not exist closer than
twenty feet" 10 the republican party;
that corporations and legislation should
be separate In order 20 keep the law
corporation teams and hirelings are
now gathering under the tentative
foremanship of Frank Jackson TO
move the church The senators
must go.
We have established some things in
Iowa The two-cent fare, the state
wide primary, the antipass law; We
have removed govern n7ent very largely
from the offices Of special railway
counsel TO the state house. In doing
these things we have built church
too close 10 the corporations. Shall we
move the church?
The senators are 'in bad" with the
mayors" both national and state
mayor" These executives propose to
see that the laws are enforced" Each
gave a pledge TO that effect in order to
find friends and cons Iteration each for
his place. They seem bound TO keep
these pledges after the fashion Of the
mayor in the little story The moving
bee is assembled. The conclusion is
that the church must go.
Delivers church was slated for re-
moval when he woke up and defended
himself by making mis- magnificent
fight for the rate law. Since then he
has held revivals which hurt the bust

There seems to be no sufficient reas-
on why Governor Carroll could claim
the support of the progressive republic
cans Of the state. He has carried his
small political prejudices TO his high
position. He has by hook or crook
managed to strike out the Cummins
men on the slightest OF pretexts. He
has fathered no broad legislative or
executive policy. He has allied him
self with the machine whose chief
reason for existence just now is TO in

gressive candidate, state and congress

road is to be put into shape and to be

showing good enterprise. Similar con-
tests have been conducted in other
counties, especially Jones county, with
good results. The $50 are worth try
ing for. Linn county needs stimula-
