Senator Youna,s Announcement.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: In yester-
days issue of the Des Moines Capital
Senator Lafayette Young announces
editorially his candidacy before the
coming legislature for the United
States senatorship to fill the unexpir
ed term of the late Senator Dolliver,
which expires on the 4th of March,
1918. Ever since the appointment of
Mr.. Young as senator by Governor
Carroll there has been much specula
ton as to the intention of the ap-
pointee regarding the unexpired term
of the deceased senator. The appoint
ment of Governor Carroll was mere
" to fill the gap between the present
time and until the meeting of the
general assembly when the matter of
successor to Senator Dolliver would
be taken up. 1t was at first given
out that Mr. Young would not seek
the election, but would be satisfied
with the honor of the short appoint
ment 1t was also pointed out that
as Des Moines already had one
senator it would not be likely that
the legislature would elect another
from that city.
Since then, however, the sentiment
has been growing in favor of con-
tinuing Senator Young in the office.
Among other papers, the Hawk-Eye
advocated Senator Young's election,
believing it would be good party
,r int
harmony. 1t would be a grave mis-
take to elect another so-called pro
gressive" Republican of the class OF
Senator Cummins. or anyone whom
Cummins would dictate. The result
would only be wider split than ever
in the party lines.
Mr.. Young is regular Republican
"a partisan to suit the heart of ev-
ery genuine member of that organ
ization. He is so loyal to the prin-
ciples of the party, and so frank and
sensible in his utterances on the sub
ject that even the progressives re-
spect and like him. They know he is
honest to the core, and what he says
about being constructive, not de-
structive, in his efforts to serve the
people and the nation as senator is
true. He will be just that and no
1aan in Iowa would fill the Office of
the late Senator Dolliyer with more
powerful influence for the good of the
party than Lafayette Young. And for
eloquent oratory, and the gift of say
ing sensible things in an attractive
manner without resorting to dema-
gogism, Senator Young has 'em
beaten city block" so to speak.
The Hawk-Eye is glad Mr.. Young
| has announced his candidacy for the
senatorship. 1t approves OF his am
bition, and it hopes and believes the
/ legislature will elect him. 1t com
mends TO its readers the platform
which Senator Young has laid down
I in his editorial announcement Here
/ ii is, and 1t may be depended upon
that the senator will carry it out te
| the letter:
Every good cause shall have my
assistance. Every good measure shall
have my vote, AS / have heretofore
announced, shall attempt to be
builder rather than critic or destroy
err Some Of the best reforms car
be effected by constructive rather thar
| by destructive work. In judging the

ZONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE

Lord, when saw we thee an hun
gered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and
gave thee drink? When saw we thee a
stranger, and took thee in? or naked
and clothed thee? Or when saw We
thee sick, or in prison, and came unto
thee?
And the king shall answer and say
unto them, Verify, say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the
least of these my brethren. ye have
done it unto me- st. Mathew XIV
1910.
1 intended to write OF the sorrow
That stalks through the winding
ways,
Where is never glad tomorrow
To blot out the yesterdays;
I intended to preach about Duty,
To set it in rhythmic keys,
When, 10, in murmur OF beauty
Came: One of the least of these
I had fashioned rhyme in my cum
ming
A pleasantly lifting thing.
And the measure was smooth in its
running,
With metrical, steady swing;
/ had done it, as and the many
Make gifts that our neighbor sees
And it fell as base, leaden penny
By One of the least of these"
And | read, and | saw, and l heard it,
1t came in the city's night
And the plying tears fell and blur
red it
But not from my inner sight.
when saw l Thee hungered, and
fed Thee?
Or solaced Thee in disease"
Then / heard in the spirit: 81 led
thee
To one Of the least of these"
And the rhyme I was easily franz
ing
To ask that you give your mite
saw was a thing 10 my shaming,
So this is the word ! write:
Can You render your thanks for the
measure
Of comfort. and wealth. and ease.
Nor spare small part of His trea-

NOTES AND COMMENT.

A late book tells how one may
think himself into happiness. The
trouble comes when you wake up,
aptly remarks the Omaha Bee.
The Washington Post complains
that there is always some psky pro-
fessor trying to explode the theory
that whisky is good for snake bites.
1t says the real trouble is there are
not enough snake bites to go around.
The latest card of thanks reads
thus:

This Thanksgiving time.
I'm thankful that l have the friend
To whom | send this rhyme.
I'm thankful just to have the hope
That You are thankful too,
And so | send this card of thanks,
Thanksgiving Day to YOU.

A GOOD TONIC
Sometimes Necessary to Re
store Lost Strength and
Health.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills Are the
Best and Safest Tonic as Is
Shown by This California
Wor1,an's Fxperience.
Woman's Experience.

Whenever the blood becomes thin and
watery or impure the whole system suf
fers. energy is lacking, vitality is low
and the victim falls an easy prey to any
disease which happens to be prevalent,
such as the grip or acute fevers.
To keep the system IN normal condl-
ton, the appetite good the step vigorous,
the brain clear and the muscles strong,
tonic is sometimes necessary. With
the body thus toned up and the organs
active there is greatly reduced danger
from prevalent diseases since the germs
are overcome and passed off as nature
intended they should be.
The tonic used should be efficacious
and at the same time safe and harmless
for the weakest constitution. Such a
| remedy is DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
The tonic effect of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills is we'll shown in the following
statement of Mrs Mary Wilder, Of No.
1866 India street, San Diego, Cal:
Il have found DR.. Williams Pink
Pills to be the best tonic l have ever
tried. For several years 1 was always
run down during the spring months
and was subject to attacks of the grip.
| would be completely exhausted and
hardly able to do any work. Every
muscle in my body would ache. l had
no appetite and it seemed that could
find nothing that would strengthen me.
"A friend told me about DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and | began using them. Be-
fore I had taken the first box felt bet
ter. | kept on taking them and gained
in strength until | was cured.
The tonic treatment with DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills by building up the
| blood so that it can nourish and strength
en- the weakened system has made hun
dreds of cures III the most severe dis
orders. This record of cures should
merit a trial for the remedy which is
guaranteed free from opiates and is
entirely harmless.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent by mail postpaid
on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; SIX
boxes for 50 80, by the DR.. Williams

Want Younger Admirals.

WASHINGTON, January 22.-Secre-
tary Meyer : personnel bill, which Will
probably be transmitted to congress by
the President IN a special message will
be so drawn up as to provide for an
even flow Of promotion and to make it
possible Tor naval officers to reach the
grade of rear-admiral at the age of
fifty five, so that they may have con
siderable sea service before retiring by
age at sIXty-tWo.
Mr.. Never considers the main feature
OF this measure to be the provisions
to place all corps Of the navy on "a like
footing; to make the numbers Of the
personnel pToportlonate to the ships OF
the navy; to promote officers after
specified lengths of service in each
grade; to prevent the formation of SO
called '.Humps' in the line OF promo
ton, and to permit flag officers to reach
their grade in time to render efficient
service ahoat in command OF fleets and
sQuadrons.
1t is contended that these results
cannot be obtained in step by step pro
motion, because if a hundred midshlp-
men graduate in a gwen year, tins
number loses about three per cent Of
it. number annually. The class OF one
hundred is reduced to about thirty on
reaching the retiring age. Ii thirty
wears admirals only are allowed, these
officers VIII reach that grade N the
last wear Of their service.
i j. found that there is room for all
the graduates of the Naval Academy
for about eighteen years OF total ser
vice. but after that period if all are
retained the step by step system Of
promotion produces rear admirals OF
,ixrv-one instead Of itty-fve, as Mr..
Meyer desires.
On the other hand. if after eighteen
wears service each class is reduced by
about one-tenth Of itself each year
there Will still be enough officers left

DEATH IS CAUSED
FROM BAD BURNS
Suffering From Burns Causes Develop
nent of Spinal Menengtis And
Death of Dorothy CIapham.

With the death of Dorothy, the little
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. E. Clap
ham, at 2 o'clock this afternoon, is
recorded one of the most horrible
tragedies in the city's history.
The little girl with several com
panions last Friday afternoon were
playing on the Clapham lawn. with
Chinese lanterns. In some way the
dress worn by Dorothy caught fire and
when the mother reached her the little
girl was almost enveloped in flames
However the flames were extinguish-
ed and it was thought the child had
not been seriously burned.
The suffering, however, developed
a severe case of spinal menengitis. and
the child grew rapidly worse until the
lend came this afternoon.
AS yet the funeral arrangements
have not been announced other than
that the body will be taken to the for.
mer home in Indiania for burial The
party will leave tomorrow morning
for that place. The parents are al
most distracted.
