Denver is to be in part rid of the

relegated the plant of every

The 4th of July date is boom
ing along. The stop at Delta is
announced in big type, whose
display cannot tell one-half what
will be in store for citizens on

American citizen is patriotic

The Citizens Party has been
launched in Denver by Ben
Lindsey and other politicians.
The fact that such party, or
ganized upon the spur of the
moment in the late Denver
campaign, won several officers,
is presumably the reason for in
fiicting it on the state. Perhaps
a word of good advice to the
people of the state would be to
plod along rather on their own
political responsibility than to
accept too much of Denver's
guidance, for politics down there
are said to be too rotten to ever
be in any danger from being
frost bitten, and the politicians
down there have penchant for
launching new parties. not be-
cause they are needed, but purely
for what effect they may have on
results at the poles. Politics in
the state are already so mixed
that no one will hazard guess
on the outcome next November.
1t would seem better to clear up
the political sky a little than to
daub on another cloud or two.

1t is hardly fair to condemn a
neighbor for not agreeing with
you upon any matter which comes
within the pale of the law. An

right of one man as of another.
No man knows it all, and who
ever thinks he does, usually
knows the least.

FREDERIC REMINGTON.

ST. Louis Times.-It is very seldom
that a man, dying in his prime, can
be said TO have performed complete
task; and vet that is not too much to
say of Frederic Remington, who died
yesterday
Mr.. Remington was one of the com
paratively few men who are born Just
when their work awaits them While
he was acquiring strength and tech
nical skill. great drama in America
was drawing to it's close-the drama
which might be called The Passing of
the Frontier
A vast territory in the west and
south, almost boundless in dimensions.
was being transformed from desert
and plain to the abode of many men.
The Indian, the cowboy, the miner, the
vigilante, the ranger, the soldier
these were figures which stood out pic
Ituresquely and moved like panorama
over the face of the earth. Their day
was drawing to close. Or if they
were not of passing order, they were
being transformed in many ways.
Frederic Remington saw the wildly
picturesque in all these forms of Amer
lean life, and he perceived the histor-
ical value which must lie in canvasses
holding these spirited pictures for
future generations. he saw the vast
ness Of the southwestern plain, and
the engaging color of the life which
belonged thereto, and the spirit Of the
whole he caught unerringly. Veresh-
chagin's pictures of war were no more
significant than the Remington pic
lures of species Of war no less in-
evitable-the conflict between new az d
old orders.
He made all his figures vital and in
tense, and to the end of time they
shall remain 10 tell the story OF the
frontier, which Is already as tale that
is told.

cause of the money the money, the
money that the state could get hold
of to build good roads by confiscating
this land and selling it to land owners
adjoining it.
| do not know in whose fertile brain
this microbe first took root but it was
brilliant idea and the man that first
discovered it ought to have brass
medal This would certainly be re-
PROGRESSION instead of progression.
And how about selling this land
back to us brother farmers at about
$500 an acre, after we have given this
land away years ago for road pur-
poses at a time when we thought that
by SO doing Iowa would always be
blessed with good broad highways?
Yet after giving this land away we
still continue to pay taxes on it if | am
not mistaken. OF ! am | should like
to be corrected).
Go out and ask farmer that owns
one-fourth section of land, how much
land he owns and he will tell you 16e
acres. And when the assessor comes
around he owns 1G0 acres. If he rents
it for cash rent at say SIS an acre he
charges his tenant with 100 acres or
$500, and if he. prices it to you at 500
per acre you will have to pay him
$1,000 to own it Yet he probably has
a Sc loot road on two sides of it and
he has to measure just exactly to the
middle Of both roads to get his 16O
acres. He has warranty deed dating
back to Uncle Sam for 100 acres and
he has never sold or received one cent
in payment for any OF it, but has al
ways had to pay taxes on all of It..
Now some smart alec has an idea that
we can sell enough of these roads
back to the farmers to bring S5,00O,0OO.

run the government and have money
left and let the farmers live in back
alley and put in the block system. II
there is an automobile coming in the
next mile then they can throw the

prise. She was really very gracious to
her. Oh John, don't let Ned win her.
I've always longed for daughter Just
like her."
Mother" he said slowly. 1--WE been
thinking over what you said the other
day"
'Yes?" she interrupted eagerly.
Il think YOU are right shall try
to win her"
ooh, John, you will succeed, l
know" Later, in the rose garden,
John holding Virginia in his arms, was
easing his conscience as to his little
fiction in regard to Ned's suit.
Mrs. Gilbert did say" he reflected,
that If she were in Mrs. Castles place,
she'd invite Virginia to her home and
let John get tired of her, and that
out of kindness to Mrs. Castles she
should invite her to the Moors and
let John see that she was out of
place"
Meantime Ned was in converse with
his mother
1T was awfully good of you to ask
Miss Orme went down. John has done
me many good turn, and l was glad
to help him out"
Mrs. Gilbert flushed gliltily
.Oh, am glad to invite any one you
wish here, but | don't see how John
got his mother to fancy any one he
cared for. She is so contrary"

Things are not always what they
seem at first glance, hence little
search into subject or problem, may
reveal something quite different than
first impression would lead one to
think. For instance one might try the
following horse transaction and see
what result is obtained
man sells his horse for $50. Later
he has an opportunity and buys the
animal back again for $50. A better
market is found in a short time and he
sells his horse again, this time for
500. Now what did he make on the
transaction?
1t is up to you and the Courier
wishes to hear from its readers as 10
what the correct answer is. Everyone
who is interested may answer and it is
hoped that the correct solution OF the
problem will thus be reached

When Senator Hanna was walking
through his factory in Cleveland, some
years ago, on the lookout for new
ideas or, anything which would aid the
progress of business, he overheard a
little red-headed lad remark:
wish / had old Hanna's money and
he was in the poorhouse."
SThe Senator returned to his office
and rang TO have the boy sent to him.
The boy came to the office timidly,
lust big conscience-stricke Won

heard and ready for the penalty. AS
the lad twisted his hands and nervous

so you wish you had old Hanna's
money and he was in the poorhouse,
eh? Suppose your wish should be
granted, what would you do?"
Why" stammered the lad, the
first thing l would do. sir, would be to
get you out of the poorhouse."
The Senator laughed, and sent the
boy back to his work. Today he is one
of the managers OF large factory, but

AN OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS

Marshalltown Times-Republican 1T
was a genuine old-fashioned Christmas,
the kind Mother Nature used to make.
Friday was the proper sort of q snowy
day. The snow fell like It used to fall
when We We're boys. It came steadily
without boisterousness and the fussing
of the four winds 1t came in a deter.
mined fashion like man with lob

emily it's feathery deepness deepeped.
1t slipped under foot rose above the
ankles, chung to coats and hats and
hair. 1t was simply a god old-fashion-
ed snow; not an up-to-date, automobile
sort OF fall, but roadmaker for rem
deer and runners. That's the kind of
snow 1t was.
1t was deep enough to delight the
children, who are never so merry as
when knee deep; deep enough &c keep
the rabbits in their forms beneath The

the hidden lives next day Here
and there a crow had written an In.
mistakable autograph with his feet and
set a flourish each side with tie
brushing beat of his rising wings or a
colony Of mice had run pattern
across the snow which would drive a
lacemaker to despair 1t was quiet
Christmas which waits on the deep
snow
And today. under the sun the fields
stretch away to the sky line, clean and
white, shining marvel of purity. The
sleighs are hurrying and the clash of
bells sounds everywhere. Faces are
bright, alert and laughing. The deep
snow is a tonic which has brought
light to the eyes and set the feet of
Iowa stepping high and lively.
Iowa is of many moods a creature
of infinite variety. She robs Italy of
her skies and Labrador of her winter,
taking from each such measure as is
needed to create variety of climate
and succession of climatic delights.

wintriest day smiles always the prom

Ring the sleighbells while you mar.
Just beneath the snow is the corn,
getting ready to change again the
color of the fields.
