cations were discussed at considerable
length. but nothing definite came
from it,
The names of several other men
were taken under consideration as pos
sibilities TO- other vacancies on the
supreme court bench. These included
United States Senator George Suther-
land. Of Utah; Chancellor Pitman. of
New Jersey. and Justice Swayze and
r. V. Lindabury. also of the latter
state. The consideration of these
names would seem to indicate that
the president desires to give the Third
and the Eighth judicial circuits direct
representation upon the supreme court
bench.
This is the first time that Senator
Sutherland has been mentioned as a
possibility. The senator is a member
of the Ballinger- -Pinchot investigating
committee. He was elected to the
United States senate in 1904 and his
term will expire next March. Since the
retirement of John c. Spooner from
the senate Mr.. Sutherland together
with Elihu Root, has been acknowl-
edged as the mainstay of the Republi- /
can side in the argument of constitu- |
uonal questions.

will give larger returns for the land

They also enable more stock to be kept

otherwise.
One Of the best forage crops is rape.

sown in the spring at the rate OF about

Indian corn makes good forage il

with the fastest drill attachment. as
thick planting makes small and tender
stalks. Corn which has we'll devel-

the fat hogs have missed. Lambs get

Excellent fall feed can be obtained
and clover with the small grain in the
spring If there is moisture enough
in the ground after the grain crop is
removed a splendid crop of fall forage
will be available in three or four
weeks. Often the fall feed is worth
more than the grain.
An excellent forage crop for pigs is

MEN AND MORALS AND MOTIVES.

The Charles City Press, a standpar
naper. iniects new food for thought
and another question for argument INTO
the Iowa political situation. 1t wants
to know whether there is a man IN the
state who would trust progressive
with a dollar more than standpatter;
whether progressives are morally ana
religiously better than standDatters;
which are safer to trust progressive
bankers and lawyers or standpatters
of the same business and profession;
which lodges taxes more progresslVes
or reactionaries?
Now this opens an interesting field
for observation and conclusion which
each person may enter or not as ne
sees fl. In a matter of comparison OF
the morality and responsibility of in
dividuals there is always prospect OF
vivid activity 1t is a pursuit which
needs both mental and physical poise.

REFORM AND THE LORDS CONSENT.

William e. Curtis, usually right
and always entertaining made a mis-
take the other day when he said Sc
| riously that the English house of lords
could not be reformed without its own
| consent. That is, he was mistaken so
far as anything vital is concerned. The
present house of lords could not with
hold its consent TO any purpose. The
essence of the matter is in the pre-
rogative of the king to create new
peers. The crown eventually will be
found with the country, and when the
country speaks the house of lords will
be no obstacle. BY act of the crown
the complexion of the house of lords
may be changed over Nigh.
The growth of the peerage shows to
what an extent this prerogative of the
crown to create new peers has been
used. Thus on Christmas day. 1858, the
lords. spiritual and temporal, who re-
quested William of Orange to take up
the administration of affairs and the
disposal of the public revenue and to
issues Wrfts for a convention did not
number more than ninety: in l112 a
motion of the marquis of Halifax in
the house of lords on an important
matter in connection with the war OF
the Spanish succession was negatived
by q vote of 6S to 30; in 1868 there
We're 200 lords temporal: in 1865, 45+:
in 1909 SIS. Before 1910 is over there
may be still greater number, all
tho the more likely event is that.
brought fac to face With the inevita-
BILE. and minimizing a : best they can
the inroads upon their power, the lords
viii yield to reform without the inter-
vention Of the crown.
The Washington Post recounJs fruit
less attempts to circumscribe the mon
arch's power in this respect Among
The nineteen proposals of the Long
Parliament to curb the power OF
Charles l was one to bar the creation
of new peers. During the protectorate
Cromwell unsuccessfully tried the ex-
pertinent VI uOiIS "tlIlcul d VI
lords altogether. In 1712, Queen Anne
created twelve new peers to secure
tory majority to carry the treaty of
Utrecht.
The prerogative has remained ex-
actly as it was from that day to this"
says the Post. 1T has been very
convenient weapon in the hands of
ministers when they wanted to force
measure of popular reform thru the
upper chamber. The mere threat to
exercise it, and so swamp the lords,
was enough, for example, to carry the
reform act of 1892 and the disestab-
lishment of the irish church in 1862"
And the mere threat, if it comes to
that, will likely be sufficient on this
occasion. The lords will consent" to
be reformed, either as they are or as
they will be with batch of new faces
among them. They will consent be-
cause they can't help themselves. In
that sense Mr.. Curtis is right In a
more vital sense he is not.

occurred, says the Kansas City Times.
And the list Of beliefs runs on almost
without end.
Life spent in the engine cab tends
to develop the abnormal and magma
tive in man. A constant tension of
the nervous system enforced by a
rigid attention to duty, prolonged
absence of speech made necessary by
the deafening roar of steam and grind
Ing Of brakes, the endless monotony
of the track unwinding like pair of
ribbons broken now and then by a
sharp curve and around which may
Turk an unforeseen peril; all this
counts in mans mental training.
The number 10 is the most ancient
OF railroad superstitions. Trainmen
often refuse to take out train Of 10
cars. But the thirteenth day Of the
month holds no terror for them un-
less connected with another 10:
strangely enough, Friday, the thir-
teenth, is the same as any other day.
But to take out engine 513 on the
thirteenth Of the month Is suicidal To
take out an engine or caboose on that
day whose number adds up 10, as S5
or 292, is equally desperate.
Some men bear the terrible record
that brands them as hoodoos. They
may be good. jolly fellows, and rail-
readers will cheerfully meet them
anywhere except on a train or on an
engine. Here their past records prove
them lightning conductors of disaster.
The most widely known Of these UNI
fortunates OF superstition Is an engin-
Ger on the Chicago & Alton. Mr..
never suffers himself, but more
than 20 have died on the pilots Of en-.
gines OF which he held the throttle.
In September. 1907, Wabash .ac-
commodation," running from Moberly
to st. Louis, crashed into an open
switch at Mexico. Mo-. and killed
three. AS d. B. Taylor, the fireman,
was dragged out from beneath his en-
CINE, he said:

track just as we pulled out of the
yards. l said something would hap
pen, but the fellows all laughed at
me-" Thus has the hoodoo of the
black cat, almost forgotten by rail
road men, revived.
Perhaps the most widely known tan
gfble hoodoo west of the Mississippi
river is an engine. Every few months

Iowa. But who uses the Missouri for
modern commerce? Who uses the Mis-
sissippi? All along the Mississippi
from Keokuk to Minneapolis are the
remnants of trading stations. There is
water enough in the Mississippi to sup
ply half dozen Dies Moines rivers
after it has been improved. But they
don't use the Mississippi. then why
should they use the Des Moipes. They
won't. From Des Moines to Ottumwa
is sixty or seventy miles by the river
and there is not q way station in all
that distance. Pella and Oskaloosa and
Knoxville are good towns, but they are
SO far removed from the river bank
that reshipping and drayage would
make them impossible for river traffic.
The whole scheme means political
bunco and the men behind 1t know it
as well as anyone.

Things were very much to his liking.
He liked the people and they liked him.
The parsonage was homelike if not
exactly modern. OF course he would
have changed some things if he could,
but he was contented And SO was his
wife. Once in a while he imagined
himself preaching every Sunday to a
great big congregation, and having the
reporters for the daily papers ask for
$500 words of his sermon of yesterday"
And while he really cared little for
money, still the family expenses Were
increasing and there wasn't much left
at the end of the year. He wasn't
filling the library very fast. Probably
was doing as much good here as any
where, yet he felt if he had a chance
to reach larger crowds. if he could
talk to more men and women, perhaps
it was in him to become lone of the
foremost preachers of the day. Per-
haps they would want him to stay here
until he was old and gray and then.
